   I think the fact that our society is being more thoughtful towards gender identity is a good thing. But is it possible in our attempt to be thoughtful we sometimes will over analyze individual situations and change our environments, interac

   Are women not supposed to like football? I actually went to the University of Oregon and found women both attending the U of O and those who lived in greater Oregon to be more passionate about the game then many of my male friends/coll

   I went to a school in the North West with a large international program. A ton of students were Saudi Arabian. The new king actually raised their living stipend. Students are payed something like $1000 for every time they are published, reg

   Ok but they were emailed these questions (in what appears to be a take-home format). 1) Know how to use the internet 2) Know how to problem solve by obtaining information from external sources.

   All the value from your past year working will be in the form of experience gained as an engineer and as a cofounder. Don't throw away a personal/business relationship over scraps that will turn out to be worthless.

   I haven't used itunes in awhile, but I can think of a major one. Music curation. Allow me to remove duplicates, find names and album art, create and alter playlists and the like, and you might have me using your software.

   The main argument for why this ok seems to be: "Children are able to learn more, therefore any obsessively accelerated curriculum is justified even if it detracts from other aspects of child hood" Um, I think that's just an e

   My company uses a variety of templating languages, and we've been able to create a really nice work flow by building a custom asset pipeline around them. Recently however we had to push something out really quickly, and opted to avoid

    Yeah ok but how many end-users are conscious enough of the situation to OPT-OUT of such an intrusive policy? On the same vein as accepting every terms and conditions that comes your way, I think most people are severely uninformed about thi

    I went to a school with both a large international program and what seemed like a large ROTC program. Every Thursday ROTC students were required to be in uniform. I always wondered how the international students felt being surrounded by, wh

    I think part of his point was that such a drastic effect on physics/framerate as the Bethesda studio allowed is inexcusable. Honest question: is such a bug excusable/understandable? My impression is that this is something that cou

    My guess is that its the large amount of nationalism Europe has traditionally had. Politicians and leaders have always blamed internal problems on outsiders going back to the dawn of time, while this happens everywhere it is much easier to

    I remember awhile ago Martini used to have a large performance hit that Gin didn't. I think it had something to do with the url multiplexer, wouldn't be surprised if it's since been fixed but it was the reason I initially cho

    If there a paradigm for handling multiple potential errors in a function? I'm usually stuck using: reply, err := redis.Givemethevalue(key) if err != nil { return err } thing, err2 := postgres.getById(reply) if err2 !

    I've used Go for a couple years but am only just writing my first production system in Go. I think one of the major complaints is that it's use-cases are ambiguous to beginners. Go, IMO, is a systems language and should not be the

    I entertained a business minor while I was in school by taking a few intro courses. I ultimately chose against it because of a general ethos I felt that was also present in this article: Given a large lecture hall of ~500 students, how many

    While I agree with your point, the history buff in me has to point out that the WWI metaphor was inaccurate. World War One was a war of scale that was exponentially larger then previous conflicts. Tactics advanced rapidly and beyond 1914&#x

    Generally I would agree, but what if your cynicism limits you from taking that one high risk opportunity that could make a serious impact on your financial future? I mean we're all start up junkies here (for the most part) would that n

    I feel the same cynicism. But then I remember cynicism !== intelligence. I'm trying to actively cut down on my news, while keeping a few channels open (HN/geopolitics/basketball..), in order to become less of a cynic..
