We cannot halt society's progress because a small amount of wealthy people's privilege will be injured. I am sure there are reasonable solutions other than: "Do nothing and let the country rot."

> I would say that unit tests impede refactoring. If your refactoring changes classes interfaces or API, you are likely to have to change your unit tests as well. Strongly disagree. How do you modify a function or interface if you do not

This is EXACTLY where comments should be used, great example! Extremely high-performance database code is not what most of us are doing, however. We are doing enterprise software development to send emails and scrape money out of people. I

> But I'm not sure everything fits in there. Where do you document processes like how to test stuff that isn't possible to test in a local-dev environment? I feel like that would go into the README or an attached wiki page. It

Agreed. I recently went from multiple years of Linux to OSX, and I find OSX FINE. Not great. Not revolutionary. Just fine. I can install emacs and it works. Whoopie. The laptop is fine. It costs 3x what I would pay for a Linux laptop, but

Just to toss in my two cents about testing: Unit tests are for refactoring and declaring behaviour. Additionally, a lot of people have made the same observation: Code that is easy to unit test tends to be more modular and have better archit

These opinions always pop up during these conversations. I agree spending a ton of money on a degree that isn't going to secure you a well-paying job is not a good idea if you do not want to be in debt for years and years. However, tra

I always think of it like this: We already try and make coding as fast and easy as possible. The software industry is not a racket that is hiding some magic tool. If we had a magic bullet that any end-user could use to build their software

Every piece of plastic you have ever encountered still exists somewhere. Think about that. Humans create a STAGGERING amount of trash and we need to stop.

Police are useful for suppressing labor and equality movements. Also, there are areas of concentrated poverty in the United States with high crime. There, a lot of people make their money by selling drugs, and police are expected to use vio

You are being downvoted because nice != fast so it comes off as a bit off topic. My original comment was pointing out the disparity between a nice car and a nice laptop. Even a 20k car is at least 5x the cost of a top of the line laptop.

Few hundred thousand dollar difference between a nice car and a nice computer.

I've worked with google support before on multiple occasions. For their retail store, fi, and their cloud offering at the $400/mo cloud support contract. Their support is bad. I would not recommend using any of their products. I w

An non-neutered/spayed dog wouldn't spray on someone's leg? That is false. Dogs tend to be VERY free with their markings.

My partner worked for a non-profit, who apparently traded her name and address to other mailing lists, and it steamrolled out of control. We get PILES of junk mail from various Christian and anti-choice organizations that I find repugnant.

I am amazed at how Docker bricked on Docker Swarm so hard. I assert to this day that the only conclusion to choosing Docker Swarm is to rewrite a worse version of Kubernetes.

gatsby + netlify, but I will probably switch to medium. The medium SEO is so much better by default than my gatsby-hosted site with a few hours of work.

Personally, I don't have a problem with locally raised beef. Factory farms make up the majority of beef. Stats are here: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/its-time-to-end-factory-f_b_1...

Tyson, Cargill, JBS, National Beef are all multi-billion dollar companies whose owners are billionaires. Calling them "ranchers" is probably a stretch though, haha!

Logan Arcade has become a mecca for pinball/arcade enthusiasts as well. I always maintain it is the best bar in Chicago, and EASILY the best arcade bar. edit: arcade/video games instead of pinball/arcade.
