I feel the same. I'm not sure it's as negative a trait as you imply though. I don't think it's related that much with social hierarchy either. As humans we must collectively provide value to our society (or historically

The definition of "understanding" is something people disagree on which doesn't help when having this conversation. Although I agree with Hinton his quote here could apply to a lot of things most people wouldn't ascribin

As long as the immigrants coming are paying into the system more than they take it's not a problem. The issue is purely the type of immigrants Sweden welcomed. We should be clear about this because even at scale immigration can work we

There's always been something like the internet though. When I was growing up there was a lot of concern around video games, for example. Growing up I even knew a few guys who were arguably addicted to video games and did nothing else

You may think it did a good job because of your limited CSS ability. I'd be amazed if ChatGPT can create pixel-perfect animations and transitions along with reusable clean CSS code which supports all of the browser requirements at your

I was talking to my girlfriend about the concept of banning things deemed harmful last night. The conversation started around whether it's a good idea to ban people doing things that are dangerous to themselves (like smoking and drinki

The word "fertility" strikes me as a odd word to use for the average number children women in a population have. "Fertility" relates to how capable something is of reproduction, not its willingness. It's not that hu

Firstly, no one (including myself) is really going to be able to help you here without actually seeing how you and the team work. That said, I'll tell you what I think given what you're written here but please take it all with a g

Given a lot us here are engineers, we should acknowledge that knowing with certainty which screw needs to be turned and by what amount is generally far more valuable than someone who knows how to turn a screw so takes a crack at it.

This is absolutely the case for GenZ where they've ditched the hyper-individualism of my generation and tend to be far more conformist in nature. Obviously it was always the case to some extent that the latest Apple gadget or Nike trai

To clarify, I don't think HTML should be expected to be responsible for button styling – that is a CSS concern. But I was really more responding to the "why can't I do this with a HTML library" comment, which you can but

HTML is just the language for describing the page content. It's not designed to be dynamic. A modern JS component library could have support for something like this. The author's suggestion of using a data attribute instead of add

It genuinely amazes me that Node is as popular as it is, especially within large mission critical businesses. If this bank was using TypeScript no one would have questioned it, but you're right, TypeScript is a nightmare to maintain. I

In my experience bigger companies are more dysfunctional, but they appear less so the higher up in the company you are. When you're just some low-level worker for a mega corp high-level decisions tend to get passed down with little to

I think this might be related to autoplay. A video can only auto play if it's muted and I think in some cases browsers require you also interact with the video to play it so they might be forcing a click to get to the progress bar or s

Personally my approach to this is to simply not think about whether you fit all the labels perfectly. If you think you're able to do a job that's being advertised for then apply. If you're not senior enough that will become c

I see a lot of people saying offensive things on UK sub-Reddits, often about Muslims, but sometimes about the French too. It's frightening just how much illegal speech is said in plain sight... There was a video I saw circling on Twitt

In the UK the police and military swear allegiance to the Monarch. So I think the true answer to this is that it really depends where loyalties lie. In the US you have the second amendment to protect you against the state, but in the UK we

I'm bothered that they're pretending they care about children when they don't. It's insulting to victims. When my girlfriend was in school she was groomed and sexually abused. This is not uncommon here in the UK. A lot w

Almost all European nations currently believe that it's perfectly okay for 14-16 year old children to have sex with adults. I'd argue if we are so concerned about children's safety we should first change the law so pedos are

The thing is half of those startups wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for big tech acquisitions. The fact that a startup without a viable business model can still have a $1b+ exit simply for having good tech is part of the reason w

Yes, thank you. I probably should have been clearer. Normally these stories get a little attention here and there but there's rarely ever much mainstream interest. If I were to talk to people in the UK about this story I'd be surp
