His point wasn't about how to view the 'god of the old testament'. It was that child sacrifice was so widespread that it had to be mentioned several times.

I don't understand how the 'payback' will be sweet for you, or anyone else.

Thanks, I hope so. Re: shortage vs. abuse, perhaps it's a bit of both. I'm joining a small dev team of 4 locals. The hiring and visa process wasn't simple and probably quite costly. The pay's not bad either so I can&#

This is a bit worrying as I just got my visa but am not in Australia yet. Other news sites mention grandfathering but (understandably) are devoid of details.

Interesting, I interpreted it as human rights not having basis in physical science and therefore all the more important for individuals and society to champion. However I do see how the quote can be seen as equating human rights to cultura

It does not seem as heretical when taken in context (rights do not exist, biologically speaking).

Relative community status is irrelevant. The only thing that should matter is whether the objection(s) to Mr. Crockford have any merit or not.

As I understand the parent it's not that the regulations are outdated but rather engineering firms are unwilling to take advantage of all that the regulations allow.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with a Filipino developer. I hope it hasn't soured you on the country as a whole.

I don't understand, do you mean RT is not at all representative of the Russian worldview, or do you mean RT is bad because of the influence it has on the Russian worldview?

In the Philippines, police shoot suspects in custody and say the (handcuffed) suspect tried to grab an officer's gun, thus necessitating the (always fatal) shooting. People then applaud how tough on crime the police are, and anyone wh

I don't know, Android (Java) and JS make me feel stupid. I know I'm not stupid, maybe it's impostor syndrome.

I left hardware engineering less than a year into my first job more than ten years ago. I'm curious, how is it supposed to work?

Different people are vulnerable to different things. There are different kinds of scams, targeting (among other things) desperation, greed, loneliness, insecurity, and even altruism. No one is 100% rational 100% of the time.

Whoah... Step back a bit. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the joke was taken out of context. Going from that to knowing what her motivations are is a huge stretch. Isn't it possible that she sincerely believed (even i

There's a huge difference between being "at the mercy of random emotions their entire life" and deciding that staying in the situation you're in just isn't worth it anymore. People make that decision all the time,

The concepts you mention are fundamental and important to web and mobile programming, but a lot less fundamental to CS. Programming != CS, and that's fine. We need CS to push the boundaries of what we know and can do, and we need prog

If you have contacts or know where to look you can get solid mid-level or even senior devs with excellent English skills at that rate. The timezone issue and whether they're suited to remote work are different questions altogether.

I read somewhere (can't find it now) that hackathons work better when there are specific problems to solve rather than just having a general theme. Makes sense, but I'm curious whether anyone has any experience regarding this. I
