Sorry to hear about your circumstances and I wish you luck. Just wanted to say my intention wasn't to criticize you personally or to make any assumptions. I think it's unfair how you're being flagged. I'll try to clarify

I wish there were established means by which institutions and individuals could admit fault in order to expedite problem solving. So much energy is wasted trying to conceal blame and responsibility. The problem becomes harder to tackle beca

I think there's a relationship but it's tenuously stated. Anti-vax is in part due to an erosion of trust in our experts and institutions. This case is a prime example. You have people that have been poisoned for decades by their g

I rented a car that had no physical buttons. It was frustrating to change stations or adjust the volume because there was no tactile indication that I pressed anything correctly. I'm accustomed to hearing a click, or feeling a press an

Our freedom of speech is limited in the sense that its expression carries a greater risk. If people are apprehensive about sharing a frank opinion, if the risk is losing a career or family, the corollary is fewer opinions being shared and a

This story is becoming too familiar. The extent to which our freedom of speech is being limited today is frightening. It's clear to me that universities are no longer a place for intellectuals and free-thinkers to question the rational

What bothers me about these posts is that it seems to diminish any sense of personal responsibility for one's own happiness. Stop acting defeated and invest in other areas of your life where you can be more fulfilled. It may require ch

I think the malaise stems more from a personal sense of dissatisfaction than it does the objective conditions of an oppressive work week. Either accept the trade-off, develop a better attitude toward it, or change your life.

Are you suggesting that our extinction lies beyond the realm of possibility? It may not be imminent -- which is debatable -- but it's our fate. Extinction seems like an unreal problem for us. We're not tuned into the right time sc

I mean no doubt they're in an unhappy position, mostly of their own doing. They tried to modernize with Edge and did a great job building a modern browser. But it wasn't enough. They were already entrenched in a terrible reputatio

The label makers are sophisticated and simple enough to use that anybody working in the store could have made them. I think the "product group" in this case was a manager or employee dicking around in clever ways trying to increas

It's not impossible to imagine an established brand being successful with better packaging and marketing. But it's clearly just Joe from the produce department filling bottles with water and asparagus, haphazardly slapping a gener

There's so much value to learning CSS and all it takes is time and practice. It's not an art but I think competent programmers are justifiably irritated when their skills don't apply to what is ostensibly just another languag

That's the point of moderation: to enforce our shared bias and leanings so that we're more likely to see the content we want to see. Strong moderation may restrict the quantity and quality of discussions that lie outside our bias

Well the article mentions that a thread with more comments than upvotes is ranked lower. In this case it was the top thread for an hour or so before being thrown to #26. This is interesting and I personally never upvote or downvote individu

I accidentally read the third book in the trilogy first. I didn't notice until I finished it and looked for the second one. I was in camping mode on a kindle with a pirated copy. But I still remember the first chapter of that book, abo

The way you say something is important though. Say something, but don't scold another adult like a child and tell them what to do. Your strategy is way less likely to be successful and may even instigate physical confrontation. Ask the

This is just tangential personal reflection but I feel like at every stage in my life I've been in some kind of bubble. Bubbles come and go depending on my environment and life experience. Being situated on a university campus, mostly

I think this quote sums it up best: "I've realized that there were probably a dozen programmers on that ancient project who knew why the system was so slow and how to fix it. They knew, but they kept it to themselves because in th

An interesting quote from the AMA: "I have difficulty separating my life from the work at CIA. This is true for a lot of my colleagues. Early on I found that the men in my office, upon retirement, had an average life-span of 18 months.

This is truly novel and fascinating. Great work. As an aside to the brilliant thinkers out there who aren't especially interested in or concerned with design, as a general rule it's not good or necessary to center-align paragraphs

For those interested here's a fascinating discussion between Gabor and Aaron. It's a candid talk between father and son in which they address real feelings of concern, anger, resentment, and disappointment with each other. I remem

The real value for me is just being able to sit down and start. The odious first impressions of tailwind are true. But try it out. I like it because I don't waste time flipping back and forth between my document and a style sheet. I do

You can use a component. I personally design first using only tailwind utility classes. Once I reach a near-ready state I factor out the repeated code into custom components that will be easy to change in the future. That way I also don&#x2
