No, it's kind of like saying "best kitchen appliance."

Comparisons of similar-ish, but basically rather different systems are always potentially interesting. But really now, the phrase "best NoSQL database" is almost meaningless, isn't it?

No problem - I appreciate your perspective, actually.

I thought there is a shortage on devs these days. No. It's difficult to evaluate and hire , and the process generally takes much longer than companies would like, for a whole bunch of reasons (some good, some bad). Which people con

There's a big gap between "fuck that" and "fuck you", actually.

Or, like you know, researching them (with essentially zero time overhead) on the job. The way engineers routinely do.

Only one other city crests ten percent and the after that its five percent and down. Easily available figures suggest you're... way off with that estimate.

Infrastructure issues aside -- given the current political climate, that's highly unlikely. "First they come and take our jobs. Now they want us to give them free power!"

Too much to learn for too little benefit. It all depends on what you want out of life.

I left a previous position largely because my boss was a psychopath. It's one thing to "simplify", and gloss over the details of what other people did. It's quite another to invert the basic nature of something that yo

Clearly not an applicable analogy, in this case.

Substitute "private and personal" for "important" if you like. To some of us it isn't that big a deal The "deal" here is with surveillance -- not sex.

You're comparing against the extremal cases. I was referring to "most" activities. You know, things like your likes and your playlists, your Etsy purchases, etc.

TDD failed for economic reasons, not engineering ones. And yet, engineering is inseparable from economics.

I guess you'll have to lie to your prospective employers about "why you left your last job", then. Not wanting to put with inane policies is one thing. But very few companies would want to hire someone who resorts that quic

No, I'm definitely not. But for whatever reason, a lot people seem to be misreading both the original article, and my throwaway responses to it.

Despite what others seem to be implying, I don't think there's anything at all wrong with looking at porn, per se (and in some contexts, it can quite healthy) -- or in acknowledging this fact publicly -- if that's what you&#x

Pornography (and prostitution) have existed for the entire history of human civilization. Again -- I wasn't referring to porn, per se. I think that's pretty clear. I don't see why sex is the one thing you think is more im

Easy. A near-captive audience that also happens to be demographically comparatively narrowcast == steady ad revenue.

You're missing the point (again). I love when you get haughty and abrasive online, at some stranger you've never met. Over basically nothing.

No one doubts that performing under pressure is important. It's the idea that this kind of pressure can in any meaningful way be simulated (and the candidate's response adequately gauged) using the shticks and routines that people

Much of the post-fire development used unreinforced masonry and was built on poor-quality fill. Also, the issue of some buildings being built to (allegedly) inadequate standards is a red herring. If that were the case, the city would be

Which sucks, because we had some really good coding talent. On the other hand, you're still in business - right?

I agree: "Sorry, this is bullshit" is vastly, vastly preferable. Has the advantage of depersonalizing the issue and avoiding the (completely unnecessary) sexual/aggressive overtones -- while still sending an unequivocally cle

If my employer tried to enforce a rule as puritanical as "no swearing" my response would be "fuck you." Provided you have the FY money sitting in your bank account to be able to go that route, that is.
