It seems many people are dismissing this as report as complete junk science. They read the article, decided the conclusions are far-fetched. Imagine what 'scientists' can do for topics that aren't so easy to digest. If you

You mean a handful of 'social media influencers' and highly paid techies don't reflect the vast majority of the country?

Holy smokes! I had no idea this project existed, and it just solves so many issues out of the box. I'm a backend/infra developer, and I had been dreading having to learn a new front end framework because the work flows just look

The way I see it, Alameda is the real criminal here. They clearly operated with the criminal intent to take the assets, and distribute who knows how. I think it's perfectly possible that SBF is just dumb, and Alameda exploited his stu

Corporations are optimizing to the playing field that society creates. As long as 1st world countries can import an endless stream of credentialed migrants, there's no incentive for corporations to hire and train the economically disa

Their moat is the same as Jira's. Despite being expensive, and easily replaced by a bevy of alternatives, management are familiar with the name and purchase it.

Have you considered what you're asking for is not practical? Nobody is going to attempt to pour a slab under an existing structure through a hole behind a fireplace.

It didn't used to be a law, so clearly something has happened that made this idea popular enough to be passed into law. I guess teachers thought that because they have access to other people's children, they're allowed to put

Surprised all the takes here are so negative. I suspect that the vast majority of people using Twitter won't be affected. The vanishingly small tech population that cares about these things is likely going to have no impact on Twitte

How could they actually enforce that? That'd need to review every app, constantly.

Fictionalized doesn't mean the entire story is fake, it's that fictional elements were added to it. While I believe he was a cabbie, and took someone to hospice at some point, I think that's as far as the truth goes. For sta

I'm also thinking about depreciation. I suspect most people that want an electric car are going to buy new, especially considering the tax credits. Are they going to be able to successfully offload 3-year old, high-mileage rental ele

Reading this I got the impression that the person is a professional writer and fictionalized for emotional effect. Indeed, this is from an author. I'm all but immune to sentimentalism on the internet, and this story came across like

Indeed. There's no reason to send another penny's worth of material to Mars ever again. There will never be a sustainable colony there, ever, in the history of mankind, unless we develop some sort of free-energy technology or te

This is essentially the condo experience almost anywhere. You 'buy' a unit, and then it's a non-stop parade of rising fees and special assessments.

Strongly disagree. I write a lot of go code, and poor quality code introduces a lot of tech debt because it's un-testable. So, if you want to write basic unit tests, you can't do so easily without refactor large chunks of the co

I think Peletons were just a fad. Who wants an exercise bike with a monthly fee? That's a bad business model.

Rackspace was taken private, saddled with a bunch of debt while the stuffing cash into Apollo's pocket, and then re-IPO'd so Apollo could fleece the market. Major IPOs go into 401ks, Wall street wins, the average American is left

Others have given a lot of good advice, but porting code is a menial task and not suited for someone of your experience level. Unless this port is a real game changer and you're going to get lots of credit for helping the company in a

Great advice, I was going to suggest the same. You shouldn't have to memorize what each layer of a project does, that's what the unit tests and integration tests are supposed to prove.

Not in my mid-40s yet, but vapor lock is a great term. I also try to do the same, just write crufty code that works, hopefully clean it up some as I go.
