Most engineers are not qualified to build an app without a framework with an architecture that is well thought out and code that is well written and documented. I've never seen a custom framework meet any of these requirements. I'

Last time I checked, SV was still in America. Somehow they're supposed to ignore the culture of racism here and be above it? That's delusional. These are people living in a country whose entire history from its pre-history to this

Guaranteed that not a single study exists where they intentionally exposed people to a live virus (since it's unethical and horrific) so whatever studies you're referring to are completely irrelevant. If not, please link to a rele

It's shocking that Ireland or any country on earth right now would be stupid enough to let Americans in without forced testing and forced quarantine.

There are tests that come back in 90 minutes now. If the testing infrastructure is not up to par, and it certainly isn't, then people don't fly. Very simple. This isn't a game. I'd hope that we'd have sorted our tes

I'll believe they have UX teams when they offer an easily accessible option to turn those things off. There's zero reason why they can't target both use cases with a simple toggle to turn animations on and off. The stupidity

That could be construed as Instacart assigning orders to their shoppers which would likely make them employees eligible for benefits, something they want to avoid at all costs. This may already be the case in CA regardless of what they do,

This is often intentional. Take a look at any OS or software with animations. Slowness for slowness sake. The macOS spaces change has such a slow animation, it's completely useless. Actually, macOS has a ton of animations to slow thing

Yeah, I agree. The people that don't hop put in minimal effort. Like me a lot of the time. My minimal is still better than any other engineer's average usually, but still. I haven't been motivated by anything other than the t

Tell that to people who have died or are permanently disabled because of covid. What an idiotic, false, and asshole thing to say.

Kant would say the only way to be free in this situation is to wear a mask and fulfill your moral duty to yourself and others. But this kind of thinking is way above the heads of the idiots currently not wearing masks. I doubt they even und

When stupid people feel their stupid ideas are challenged, some will get violent. Why? Because they're fucking stupid. They don't have the capability of self control, let alone intelligence to know when to use it. The level of stu

Other than basic survival and sex, all goals now and in history are and have been "synthetic." It's irrelevant and certainly not new or noteworthy. Of course most people are ok with it. They've been ok with it since the

Wow. It's hard to fathom how this car got approval to be on the road. Windshield wipers are a core component of a car. A car without a proper control for them should not be on the road. Every time it rains, Tesla drivers need to fiddle

Until they deny you your necessary cancer screening for a few months and your cancer comes back with a vengeance requiring an operation and some major chemo just to give you a chance at staying alive, this system is great. Then again, if yo

It's unbelievable to think that the government couldn't even roll out the free testing. The most basic part of fighting corona and they couldn't even get that right. At least now we can stop pretending we don't live in a

This should be illegal. The credit unions are bad enough but this is egregious. Software should not be allowed to affect humans without a complete explanation of how it works, how it reached its decision, and a human with authority to appea

None of those things can even remotely compare to the importance of the database design for most software businesses, especially ones just starting out. Most of them can also be addressed later in the company's life unlike a bad databa

Yeah, why spend hours on the most important part of the application and likely the most important part of the business when you can gloss over with with an ORM and not worry about designing the database until it comes back to bite you in th

How is it a strawman? That's literally his argument. He writes: "This is something that is cheap and could save hundreds of thousands of lives." in the context of covid while providing nothing but his anecdotal experience wit

Ah yes, company speak for "collecting massive amounts of personal data for our profits and your detriment." It's clear now with the fitbit reference that this is mainly a spying device.

So your argument is that because it works for your disease, it must work for covid. You provide zero evidence that it works at all for covid, zero evidence to counter the studies that show it doesn't. Then you claim some conspiracy tha

This should have happened already. Checks have already stopped. Even if they do this now, plenty of people will still get evicted without the extra income or eviction protection. The irresponsibility of waiting on a coronavirus relief bill

This is yet another failing of the federal government. They have the funds to bail people out just like they did in the last recession. They just won't do it. I hope people remember that when they are on the streets. Their government c

A cure for alcoholism that works fifty percent of the time is ground breaking. How could doctors not be impressed? The success rate for AA itself is about 2%. What has a better rate of success than 50%?
