Not sure why you're getting down voted for this opinion. Living in a dense urban center like NYC is extremely stressful and unhealthy for some (most). It's baked into the human mind/body to need nature. To hear natural sounds

I think that might be true in some circumstances, but think of it this way: You have a nice backyard landscaped how you like, you've got beautiful maple trees, a deck. You've lived there and loved it for years. You made it what it

I agree completely. I live in portland, and just next door they tore down a nice craftsman bungalow which the developer purchased for 450k, and then built an enormous 3-story monstrosity in. All the other homes in the neighborhood are 1 or

I think what you and others don't understand is that, there is SO MUCH demand, and SO MUCH money that no matter how much you build, the prices simply won't go down. From a developer's perspective, building a brand new apartme

Perhaps I come from a different land, but in my field, knowing a specific language intimately is not as important as knowing the wider scope of software engineering and distributed system design. I'm not a developer who is down in the

Point number 2 doesn't really land for me. I can see how a dev of 10 years might never have needed to think about tuples, depending on what code she was responsible for. Some folks aren't really curious about deep internals, they

That's honestly what I was thinking while reading this. Shamans, and other types who are extremely skilled with meditation have control over their minds and bodies that is extraordinary. They can navigate dream states, explore their ow

Wow, thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone... I can't even count how many times I ask myself "but they hired me on the premise that I'm an expert in this, so why are they not allowing me to work and make change

The practices the author describes are actually horrible, and objectively bad practices though. Truly, obviously, inescapably bad practices. Do you just go along with it? What do you do? I personally try and avoid places like that like the

Right? I would be so happy to hire someone smarter than me who can teach me how to be better. Sure if someone was telling me my code was shitty, but their solutions weren't any better or smarter, I would get pissed. I suppose some peop

God same for me. I read this post and thought I had written it myself. I'm a very pleasant person to work with, I will never belittle others or be harsh about anyone as a person. I will absolutely say when code/architecture/s

#2 is just not true. If you're in a room full of klansmen who are all going on about how whites are the superior race, and you disagree. Are you the problem? NO! The same is true of anything else. Sometimes the whole team is totally wr

Spoken like a programmer with years of experience! I feel this all too acutely. My only game these days is to find small companies who are desperate for engineering experience and leadership because their in-house/contract devs aren&#x

Hey there, Just wanted to offer some feedback. Prosemirror's docs are woefully incomplete. The way controls are added is extremely confusing. Why do we need some node module called "prose-mirror-example-setup" ? I know I&#x27

I have also used the newest version of prosemirror recently, and it caused me and my team so much pain we had to rip it out of our codebase. The documentation is still no good. The underlying tech looks super promising, but the plugin syste

This article really just seems to be mincing words and debating what "style" means. The fact remains: some methods of presenting information is worse than others. Some students will think they hate the subject material, but really

This is exactly correct. In the past, I didn't consider myself an excellent programmer, because I struggled to solve esoteric number permutation problems and recursive graph search problems during whiteboard interviews. It seemed to me

Yeah, I've found this is the case as well. Ever since I've gone remote, I've faced ongoing pay cuts. I used to live and work in San Francisco, where my salary was quite high. If you work for a company that is not based in SF

I deleted the app from my phone about 2 years ago, and since then have rarely looked at FB. If I did, it was because someone was being annoying and doing some kind of group coordination on a FB page instead of text or email. I think I am at

Nah, fruits in their natural form are fine. Obviously, if you get most of your calories from sugary fruits, that's not the best, but it's not horrible either. I meant purified sugar, like cane sugar or high-fructose corn syrup

Exactly. It's further complicated by the fact that you really need to stick to a change for 2 months or more to notice any lasting effects. From what I've seen with folks struggling with SIBO and Candida among other things was tha

I think what's worse than lazy newcomers wanting someone to hold their hand through a problem, is newcomers who try and argue for a truly terrible idea, or worse yet, call into question an idea that is as old as time. I have had more e

I've always been fascinated with the appeal to authority. I suppose the ultimate authority is a repeatable experiment that demonstrates a fact to an acceptable level of certainty. Such experiments are often not possible when considerin

You know, that's a good question. I read a lot, and I pay attention a lot, so for me dots get connected rather naturally. There isn't much out there talking about russian spamming taking place during the primary. I found this thou

I'm opposed to all political advertising period, and would have also considered a Clinton presidency non-optimal, though likely more stable than what we have now. I'm fine with the down votes, but it should be pretty obvious that

You could argue that toxic comments on the internet are the only reason the current president got elected in the US. Should said president lead us to a nuclear holocaust, or any number of other real possibilities due to his proven negligenc

The same is true for any business or corporation. The real key factor here is that coops at least open up the possibility of workers sharing in the profits generated by their labor. A traditional capitalist corporate structure incentivizes

True, but not a decision of my own making. I'm talking about times where I explicitly recommend a refactor to get things in good working order, but I'm forced by my manager to not do that, and instead get it done ASAP.

Thanks for this point of view. I've been on the other end of this situation, where I've come into teams where their architecture truly was problematic. My suggestions were absolutely a provable improvement, but never the less peop
