This is race to the bottom behavior which we largely got away from him post industrial revolution. It's well and good to want employees who are passionate about their jobs, but no one is passionate 100% of the time. The rest of the tim

That's because programmers can do management. It's not unusual to see engineers get tracked into management. I have certainly never seen it go the other way (partially because managers usually make more than engineers I'm sur

It's to their advantage to do this on their clock, so I agree. If they push this through, they'll be much more prepared than any of their competitors.

I don't know man. I just took a week of PTO to "Marie Kondo" my house. Before I had kids, I used to take a week or a long weekend pretty frequently to work through a book or learn some new tech, so I don't think it'

The whole argument is essentially that if we take people at their word and assume that 50% of the work being done today is bullshit do we believe that if we liberated everyone to do whatever they wanted, would 50% of what they do then be bu

I both agree and disagree. I've always found an intuitive explanation like the OP to be helpful before diving into a more rigorous study of the material. It helps contextualize the things you learn subsequently.

This. If you can move in with your parents, or don't need to start making money immediately, I'd prioritize dealing with your mental health issues. See a therapist or do some meditation. Whatever you need to do to get centered aga

Yes. With regards to it being a call to arms for business leaders against Marxists/communists, that's accurate to a certain degree. If you look at what gets lumped in with marxists/communists though, it becomes pretty apparen

I often wonder whether this has a lot to do with how we treat our kids. I often catch myself acting uninterested in my daughter's interests (she's two and often wants to show me things for the 50th time that were pretty boring in

That's a little overstated. The Powell memo all but declared a war on the working class.

IMO, I think this is all baseless moral panic. I saw a video the other day in which a psychiatrist claimed that choosing to play video games over seeing other people/friends or family is a sign of obsession. People literally do that al

I prepare close to 100% of my food from scratch, though not for health reasons, I just enjoy cooking. If you're cooking for taste, I find myself adding sugar/honey to compensate for produce not being up to snuff (hard with superma

I have worked remote for a company that's primarily in the UK and South Africa for almost 2 years now (I've been with the company for longer than that and am located on the US west coast.) My advice would be to try to convince you

This. I personally don't feel that I spend all that much time in the "trenches" when programming. Most of my work is thinking and then hopping over to the computer to tap out a few lines. Or sometimes interacting with somethi

Also stew is culturally omnipresent. Every culture has stew, so it makes sense it would be omnipresent in fantasyland.

I'm not sure about age-limiting old people, but I'm starting to think a basic technological literacy test might not be out of place.

I'm not sure why this is so heavily down-voted. Pensions are surely a problem, but they are clearly a drop in the bucket compared to the revenue that states miss out on when they let corporations pit them against each other in race to

Amazon's co-mingling causes so many issues. I'm really into board games and would love to be able to rely on my Prime subscription to pick up new games (and get them quickly.) The board game market is kind of perverse in its own w

For math majors, baby Rudin is the standard. I would say though that it's probably too terse for most students. I like Pugh's book quite a lot. I think it strikes a good balance between not being long winded while providing enough

I think you're probably listening to the wrong Bach. I don't think that newbies should generally approach Bach's keyboard repertoire first. I'd recommend starting with the cantatas and maybe parts of St Matthew's Pa

Agree on Hammerklavier. I have a pet theory that Große Fugue is an elaborate troll on Beethoven's part. I kind of think that it was constructed in such a way to be as analytically rich as possible while being horrible to listen to. I h

I studied piano performance in college. I do not recommend learning without a good teacher if you plan on taking it seriously. There's a lot that can go wrong. Also, in terms of information sharing, it's very difficult to find acc

Thank god. My neighborhood has a forum run by the HOA. It's flooded with posts about neighbors running their own "crypto-businesses" trying to get other people in on it. Based on a quick read, I'm pretty sure none of the

I've gotten to a point where to me "results-oriented" is a four letter word. It's just a bad way to go about your life. Both for your sanity, and because it's more often than not just a wrong-headed way of thinking.

I pay for Prime yearly, so this does not affect me. However, in the last couple years, the quality of service has decreased dramatically. When Prime first rolled out, it used to be that I'd receive my packages on day 2 like clockwork.

Splendor requires focus? It plays pretty algorithmically in my opinion. 1. Is someone else about to win the game? Reserve their card if possible. 2. Can you buy a card? Buy the highest point value card you can. 3. Will taking two chips win

I'm pretty liberal, and I believe that there is some truth to the "less regulation and more competition will solve the issues" mantra. The issue here being that there isn't a real way to inject more competition into the

Yeah, or something other than react is seriously screwed up. I said a couple of days just to have time to do styling (assuming design is already done.)

This is largely what we do, except with Angular. We generate the angular dynamically server side and then serve it up on a per-user basis.
