i'm in two minds about this. on the one hand, this is evolution in action, the habitat for this animal was decreased by the presence of a successful predator. on the other, rats have no sympathy from me, and we have plenty of them arou

my personal chances seem to be about zero. at least without spending a lot of time, money and effort. when i last applied it rapidly descended into a process that felt like bribery and moving goalposts. that being said, i in no way blame am

this is hard, it depends on the situation. i can relate my one experience of dealing with this where i felt that i had to confront a co-worker for boob staring. it made me feel awkward to sit there and notice him doing it, so the lady invol

you can train yourself to not do this. i consider myself generally quite misogynistic and horny as hell... so take my word that it is possible.

i'd guess the investor is the sort of company with standard policies and practices that include signing of NDAs for even potentially sensitive information to protect themselves in a paranoid way. lots of people 'just doing their j

i do genuinely worry that the big guys going free will help tech development to stagnate. i don't see open source as an answer, because the philosophy attached to these projects usually insulates them from the bulk of the market. they

yeah, its a terribly misleading comment... still he might be a programmer, just not a 'real programmer' - some kind of web dev or script kiddie, and therefore knows little or nothing about memory addressing

true. maybe he was smuggly thinking 'if he thinks using multiple files will help, he must be really dumb' :)

i don't mean it so literally, it is a misfortune of how these words are commonly used to describe character traits that have nothing to do with gender. its nothing about masculinity, or machismo... this concept of 'being a man abo

i can't reply to your deeply nested comment. i use the word moaning because it fits... i could use 'complaining' but the would mask my disdain for this sort of behaviour. if this were a man, i would be even more aggressive wi

I especially like the point about criminal records not labelling criminals... just the ones who have been caught. I've met plenty of people with criminal records who are in fact extremely capable employees, and many criminals who have

yeah, he should have been smart enough to spot what was coming when he was asked about multiple files... or at least asked some more directed questions than 'what do you think you have that will solve this problem'

by jheriko 12y ago
good point. i just assume this based on the moaning happening after the fact...

Why do you need back up? Why couldn't you deal with it at the time? Its a shame perhaps that men and women are not typically given the same upbringing, or have the same natural tendencies, when it comes to confrontation. Not doing anyt

oh sorry, i meant if we can have a tiny C, or C-like compiler implementation. :) (although having a C implementation is awesome, even with the caveat) lisps are great as an instruction on the subject because of the clean and elegant design,

the whole LP64 vs LLP64 'issue' is a massive red herring. even in the most despicable code bases this is relatively quick and easy to 'fix', its just one of those things that on the face of it looks like a lot of work, a

wouldn't this be more valuable if it wasn't VC funded startup focused entirely? lots of great employers are not VC funded startups (personally I avoid them like some plague) more generally even non-VC funded startups can be horrib

i definately agree with the 'lost art' part. i've been stunned to find programmers who don't understand this and make arguments like "the compiler optimises that for you"... so much so that i've written my

surely this is actually that a short lisp compiler or interpreter is the maxwell's equations. the analogy is way off the mark for software as a discipline in total. you can know nothing about lisp and understand pretty much everything.

an industry driven by greed is greedy... why am i not surprised. that stuff needs some regulating. its all well and good making everyone richer and deregulating to encourage it, but if the gap widens, because of how the economy works, the p

70% is impressive? where is this perception that proper cross platform development is an unsolved problem coming from? well written software has a platform layer which is usually small unless your product is trivial. you also don't hav
