Cool to see someone using JavaFX and not Electron. I quite like it and used it for a few card games and stuff.

Agreed, this makes no sense to me (sounds like something an "engineering manager" might recommend). If not defects, then what? Surely it's not the recommendation that someone who struggles to fix bugs should be given greenfie

In my experience, nearly everyone is a tech company, but the ones that admit it to themselves and others tend to be better at it. FANG aside, I feel like purebred tech companies are more likely to deliver what people want as opposed to exis

That's true, but I'm not advocating ludicrous speeds. I feel like people rarely crash into stationary objects when they're traveling on a highway and are more likely to rear-end someone entering their lane traveling significa

IMO it is less desirable to be a person who incites rage as compared to a person who becomes occasionally enraged. Driving is strange in that there are upper bounds, but rarely lower bounds. i.e. a minimum speed is a rarity (and even more r

An article by someone late to the party targeted at people who don't know what a "party" is. There are multitudinous ways to stream video, but the uninformed always make out like this has just been enabled via some breakthrou

Perhaps our prioritization of the creation of tools which enable us to share all of our thoughts and experiences will force us to reflect on our taboos as they become increasingly public. I for one, hope that people begin to realize that th

I agree a lot. Mathematics intersects with programming when you use programming to solve mathematical problems. I find that that happens rarely for me (although it has happened). I feel like the biggest boons for programmers are having a go

A budding mechanic asks: "Should I work on Toyotas or Fords?" The answer matters little to the novice. You say that you "love thinking about building startups and the web projects." Have you ever built either? Become an

This. I've been made to feel like the asshole in situations like this for "not helping" them figure out how to do their own job. Some people are beyond help (within the context of project) because they do not possess the requ

Source that second hand vaping kills? I mean, I can legally drink all the bleach I want so long as I don't go around splashing it on others.

Makes sense. We should probably ban alcohol, driving, going outside when it's too hot / cold, weapons of all sorts, owning pets, ice skating, rock climbing, activities which raise the heart rate above resting, etc. Anything that h

I realize that IQ is normalized, but have the tests themselves evolved to better capture what it is that makes us "intelligent" in modern society? Not to say that the usual pattern recognition type test is no longer valid, but per

Ultimately it's the customers who are responsible, not the owners of companies. I feel as though this only holds if you assume that all demands are just and deserve or should be allowed to be satisfied. For instance, if I identify th

Worked at a bank for a year on a greenfield project. They had walls painted in primary colors, an open workspace (for some employees), and typical bullshittery like 8 hour hack-a-thons which output directly into the trash bin. The main issu

TechCrunch just frustrated the hell out of me with the worst bit of UX that I have seen recently. I made a webm in case it's only happening to me for some reason. https://gfycat.com/SerpentineDirtyAmericanpainthorse As

If I click next on a slideshow and anything happens other than progression to the next slide then I click the 'x' on the tab. Now if only everyone did that; then something might change. Maybe. Probably not.

Amen. Anecdote: be on Windows. Need text editor to open 100MB file. Notepad sucks. Wordpad actually loads the file, but I just can't. Think about getting Notepad++. Decide to try out Atom because the UX looks nice. It can't load t
