(honest question, just Incase it comes off as sarcastic). How would you get a job a job as a junior dev without any form of dev training. Side note: how could you be a Dev without knowing the fundamentals of how to code? I looked up a compu

I know, right? I asked the same question above(had an interesting answer too), makes me want to apply for a junior dev position :-p

That's actually really surprising. Thank you for your input. I had assumed it would have been -teach basics of code, explain the thinking behind it and why to use certain things at such time, then slowly expand upon that. Hmm certanly

(disclaimer: I'm self taught, did a few months of University but couldn't afford more - dirt poor family). I'm a little confused(and more than a bit shocked), isn't this what University is suppose to teach? I agree with

"A considerable number of Catalans don't support it either." So what? Just ignore it then. As for the majority of votes, just tally them vs total population. Simple. But now that it's blocked, they have put it in the spo

Your lucky, I'm dealing with an app crash every hour or so(if I'm lucky), ui freeze, then hang for 5 seconds , then ' email us the details box', before it restarts. Trying the beta now though, fingers crossed!

This is the point where I would say, 'i don't care, let's talk about it'. Perfectly correct for them? Okay, cool. Also perfectly correct for the rest of the world to discuss... On freely accessable platforms... Look I&#x

My wife will give birth in 6 months, I surely hope it's a good direction!

Oh in this case I agree, I was just thinking out loud. Not that we(programmers/techs) could come to a concensus anyway, was just a side track I thought would make for an interesting discussion :-)

"First, it is against the law because the court has said so." .... What? If I said you couldn't talk about me slaughtering 1000 people would that be okay if I was an officer of the court. That's a stupid reason. "th

Damnit, now I want to see if I can code one. I really don't have time :-p

You are right, and honestly the more I think about it, the more I worry about it being a bad idea. Or less a bad idea, and more a 'most likely to steer in a bad Direction's sort of idea as, honestly, humanity doesn't really h

Look I understand you have a horse in this race, but how can anyone be breaking the law by stating their preference. Just because you don't agree with it, as long as there is no physical harm, or enticement to cause harm, than it shoul

I commented before the edit, but even after the edit I don't agree. (As someone who volunteered assisting mentialy handicapped homeless for 3 years).

Actually I'd argue that it's more important because the government doesn't support it. Unless there was a rule stating it was illegal to take a census before this existed, shouldn't that be a huge red flag for taking thi

I often wonder at what point should we (as programmers) ignore a countries ruling if we disagree with it. (Note I'm not arguing for or against here, I don't know enough about the situation but thought it may be an interesting conv

Wouldn't that come under education though?(Australians have the same problem). I didn't realise how bad it was in Aus until I moved to Japan. Edit: I was referring to your first point, sorry.

I constantly have it drilled into me seeing my family working on the farm, driving trucks and doing dock work(hence my experience with it haha). I love programming, I really enjoy reading hn for the tech insight, but some of the complaints

I have in Japan, I have seen drunks at 10am arguing and throwing shit at each other. It's not a US only problem. Edit: autocorrect -.-

Australia has the same issue. Unless you can argue Australia isn't a 1st world country.

There are some... Interesting points here. I'd like to throw in an alternative point of view from someone who doesn't work as a Dev full time. 1.FOMO "This issue is defined as a fear of regret, which may lead to a compulsive

Interesting (to me and hopefully to others!) Side note, this is why eve-online added the option to bot autoload images in the forum. As eve-online has a shit ton of spies(and some people take this game very seriously) a large alliance was

I'm a chef/English teacher and taught myself to code. Reading the articles on here(actually mostly the comments), helps me learn about things I haven't heard of yet.

Chef here. I grind my own beef, and there is no way I would want to eat a burger pattie cooked well done. If you are worried that your mince may not be safe to eat - why the hell are you buying it?
