Given the current brutal job market, I'd say that casual job hopping probably isn't the best strategy for right now.

Why are stereotypes inherently bad for understanding the world? And isn't this how humans normally operate? If I asked you to mentally visualize an NFL left tackle, for instance, you're probably not going to picture a 5 foot 2 inc

How does Krita compare to the current painting tools on the market? As software, Krita seems pretty nice, albeit with a little bit of a rough UI. But the website and release notes IMO don't really excite or inspire compared to a lot of

What are you building? Are you making complicated web infrastructure or building a random website for an online towel store? There's more than 1 valid approach to building good software. Node.js and PHP have very different approaches w

1) Thank you for the link, however it is pay walled. 2) I'm not asking you to do homework. It should be the journalist's job to provide the relevant facts, but the linked article was lacking. 3) I asked because I thought you knew

What are the handles of these fake news accounts? I'd like to try and see for myself why Musk made a mistake and if he just made a minor mistake or if he has bad judgement.

1) Who ever trusted X about anything at any time period either before or after Musk? The very premise seems absurd. 2) The example given in this article, that Musk posted links to allegedly bad news sources and then retracted them once he r

Privacy is probably the biggest realistic expectation for a paid service. Have correct privacy defaults. Don't make the privacy settings confusing. Don't sell user data. Don't insert or use tracking information. I think compa

Fascinating writeup. That said, I'm sure lacking the D guarantee in ACID might caution a lot of possible customers because nobody has time to figure out the nitty-gritty tradeoffs of a database nobody else used. Even if you're rig

So I'm curious why this bill was being pushed if that discrimination is already banned then?

by logicalmonster 3y ago
Could the reason your DB is so fast because it's missing something in terms of safety/reliability that other databases do? That would be one thing I'd be concerned about hearing about a 100x performance increase. Anyway, I do

Is Newsome's claim that caste discrimination is already banned based on existing laws against discrimination on race, ethnicity, etc accurate? Why was anybody pushing for this bill if that's already the case?

I think it's tougher because the standards for good software are significantly higher. 20+ years ago, if you had a website that let people make comments and upload a low-resolution image for others to see, that was seen as pretty freak

Lots more I could say about this article, but I'm not sure I get the accusation that Musk is allying with Nazis because he's trying to increase the practical freedom of speech. Weren't the Nazis known for the opposite of that

I'm not suggesting that the time should be fixed, but that the task solved should be precisely defined through satisfying a set of provided tests. That way, every candidate for that job is solving the exact same problem, and there&#x27

Asking job candidates to perform real-world tasks is usually a great solution to finding out if they can code or not, but the problem is that these problems are usually provided in a bad/offputting form. What companies do is something

One big problem with the media is outrage-bait headlines. People make up their minds about a story simply by reading the headline, which is often contrary to the story within. Just to play devil's advocate, could this be a gargantuan i

I think performing experiments like this is usually a great thing. I'm just wondering what the unintended consequences from this will be. Something that sounds good usually has some unanticipated effects.

Your employer is at fault. Refusing to install software you don't want on a personal machine is entirely reasonable, particularly when you offered to provide them with multiple alternatives on how they could still track your progress w

It sucks, but families have to temporarily split up all of the time for the sake of the income to the point that a father flies to another continent and works and sends money back home and doesn't see their wife/children for years
