Well, your description of him hits a little too close to home so I guess I have to give him a second chance. Also I wrote "hawking". haha.

I had never heard of him but the title of this article is beyond a literary device- it is bait-and-switch. It is dishonest. You expect this from from shifty clickbait websites hawking beauty tips and lists of top 10 ___ "they" don

Yeah I agree. I would be annoyed too if people kept saying those things to me.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. The "Are you actually technical" quote is not part of her anecdote, its in the list of things "men have said straight to my face at tech events" and it is quoted directly

Why is it wrong to ask someone if they are technical? Programmers, engineers, scientists go to tech conferences to talk about work, projects, side interests. They dont want to get sucked into a sales pitch. I especially dont understand why

Instead of telling Washington about my dissatisfaction I've decided I'm going to piss in the ocean. I suspect the outcome will be the same, except it feels so great to piss in the ocean.

You have to stop thinking this way. As technology progresses we need fewer and fewer people working. Its not just because people dont want to work-- its because they cant, because we dont need them to work. Crop yield is high. Robots build

I wouldnt say that most non-college people I have worked with have been better. But I will say that some of the smartest and most talented people I've met never went to college. High school is training you to act the way mainstream soc

I dunno, I wouldnt be surprised if Prime Video and AWS actually make money, unlike the "most valuable component" that does not. Besides, will you really stop using Amazon if it is the "Everything except a few devices store&qu

Kids these days are lazy. In my day I bagged groceries at the the local family owned grocery store. They paid me a dime a day. I lived off of one nickel and paid college tuition with the other. At the end of undergrad I'd saved up enou

What makes you think Detroit has "high crime". I mean, Detroit has always been "high crime" relative to other midwest cities its size. But for years now I've only read that crime has been dropping in Detroit, probab

Someone else mentioned this in a comment but I remember reading years ago that libertarians were trying to organize a movement to New Hampshire where they could become the majority. Is this a thin that is known to people who live in NH? Doe

My favorite clip is of the police who said something to the effect of, "When we asked him what it was, he only said it was a clock he didnt tell us why he brought it to school..." so they arrested him for a hoax bomb. That stateme

I agree. Obama's record is quite clear when it comes to drone assassinations as a cheaper alternative to dragging people in for their day in court-- his own constituents included.

Perl did a lot of things right a long time ago. For me a few of the big ones arent technical-- CPAN as you mentioned, was the most useful repository of any programming community. Another one for me is that Perl documentation has conventions

If you create a cloud database service, will it be better for the customer? Honestly, I get the feeling that part of your business comes from the fact that your customers arent tech savy and dont have the staff. If butthurts-access.com were

The list of people who took the offer was posted internally. I imagine it must be out in the wild somewhere by now as well. Besides managers who are looking to jump ship and pretend to do work somewhere else, a lot of professionals are on t
