10 years ago? Yeah that is exactly how it was. We had no less than 3 transgender coworkers at any given time. And that was in Texas of all places. I don't know what sort of experience you had but I have a feeling you are letting it clo

I was fine with the title, as it reflects how the article frames it, but whatever.

The problem is who decides what views should or should not be tolerated? Some would say if you eat meat you should not be tolerated. Others might think pro-choice ideas should not be tolerated. That aside, we really need to figure out as a

Already down playing it, later the article admits over 100 joined the post. Wile 'Dozens' is correct, it most certainly was meant to belittle and down play the group.

ACs have improved leaps and bounds over the last 20 years. I don't think we need any extra effort into this. The nature of the beast is to lower cost while providing a good product. It is simply what customers will demand. On the other

I think notebooks are neat, and can be a useful tool, especially for learning. But until the last few days I had no clue people were trying to use them for actual software development. To me this is a mistake, and adds a lot of tooling to w

I disagreed, partly on the what makes the "ecosystem". While Redis has its own micro ecosystem it is NOT the entire ecosystem. While there may not have been direct exchanges on the level you described Redis did benefit from having

Yeah, but its not like they are "getting it for free". It is a ecosystem, and cloud providers have provided many nice things back to the ecosystems. Including jobs to many prominent OSS developers. Not to mention cloud providers d

Even if it won't really hold up in a court of law I feel like the notion is to set some sort of precedence that gives it validity the logger it sits there unchecked. This is the sort of thing that shapes the next generations of judges,

Regardless of why I was interrupted, the TOS is total crap.

Side note, has anybody read the TOS at bloomberg? Along with getting violation notices? I MUST allow JS? https://imgur.com/a/hsTANvy Also, their entire TOS looks like one of those shrink wrap licenses. I feel like peop

France Germany both have something like a 50% drop out rate, much like the US according to my recent searches. The UK has ~7% but has been rising over the past 3 years. As far as I can tell you still pay in the UK but tuition is fully cover

Yeah, I don't think high fees are the answer either. Costly and free are both extreme and probably won't do what we want them to do. We need something just right, something that both the schools, and students still have some skin

I did not have time, write this when I made my original post. Just because I don't agree with free does not mean I am for the inverse which is crazy high tuitions. In my opinion the crazy high tuitions is a result of guaranteeing peopl

I feel like all the collage should be free people are not thinking far enough ahead to what that actually means. 1) A free collage will end up being more like extended high school. 2) At some point new institutes of for pay higher education

And am sure this will happen. At some point websites will start shipping rendering with webasm. I am it keen on the details but a well done one could use a canvas to do the rendering. As a anadotal. We can already fo to websites that run vm

Yes, the block data is directly inserted into the database. This has worked fine, but I don't think it is optimal. I think we might get some performance increases if we just used seqlite for keeping block offsets into a flat file. But

What is so wrong with not changing companies? I ask for a friend who has worked on the same product for over 10 years, although the company has been bought sold a few times. This "friend" found that any job offers he got always re

Technically a drone does not require propellers. Drone "a remote-controlled pilotless aircraft or missile." So one might be able to argue that the gun is actually the remote control for a drone ... aka the bullet?
