Or a particularly enjoyable experience the last two years.

Why bother with all of this? Why not just stop using Facebook?

I miss the 90s: the time when you could actually scroll a web page to the bottom.

I bet Windows 95 is older than you. So, you're OK with communist massacres?

Matt is brilliant. A little bit more mature and reserved than during his time at Dealbreaker, but still awesome.

You retire when you hang up your hat and start getting pension. You can keep you opinion, but I prefer the one without brave assumptions about a person I don't know.

You can spare me the Che Guevara fanboyism. I was born in the Soviet Union and had to read the biography and the history of the Cuban revolution (the soviet version of it, at least). One would think, that having been blessed to be born in a

I'm not knowledgeable about history of the Balkans, so I've actually googled. Tito is traditionally portrayed as a mild and benevolent dictator, because he had a split with Stalin and it was beneficial during the Cold War. However

I might've confused the gender of your name further down in the comments (not a native English speaker). Sorry for that. :)

Can you name one example of a communist system, where that metric is so small, it's negligible?

Name one.

Why is this drivel on top of HN?

Just because my initial comment was a short sentence, doesn't mean it was snarky; like this one. And although I agree with your definition within a professional legal context, that context is irrelevant to the discussion, since we are

So she isn't retiring, is that what you are saying?

It can be compared. Both require to mentally navigate certain set of constraints and rules and build up a mental model of the domain problem, after which you produce a concrete result. In programming it's software, in law practice it&#

Oh, my mistake. Thanks for pointing that out. Not really familiar with less frequent English names.

So, when you retire will you immediately stop practicing programming?

Did you? He's not talking about quitting his job, but his (former) passion. That's not retiring.

Wow, I'd expect people here to be more empathic towards a person having a career in software engineering longer than most of the lifetimes of the HN crowd (assuming the article is truthful). Instead one gets a bunch of dismissive, I-kn

So, after a law professor retires s/he immediately stops thinking about law?

Not his job, but I guess his career choice.

And assume in the next 300-1000 years nuclear technology stays the same.

I think this is a good approach. Let the product speak for itself.

That's a good solution. Additionally, it protects your privacy.
