Yeah I 100% agree. I prefer the remote companies that remain agnostic to where you live when they determine salary (which is like all of them except for gitlab). It allows me to do things like move to smaller towns without established tech

Counter points: Diversity - I'm fine with a lack of diversity of opinions on whether or not minors can be willing participants in pedophile relationships. Inclusiveness - Really? Nobody ostracized him because he is an aspie. It is disi

You mean GPL -> "Free, but..."

by notus 7y ago
What do you consider free software? Because I don't consider anything licensed under GPL as free, but I would consider software licensed under MIT or BSD as free.

This seems like some misguided ire. Stallman has notoriously lived like this for a long time, this isn't a new thing. He is known for being somewhat of a couch surfer. I wouldn't assume everything you read about Stallman in the fu

We should be asking how we can make these better environments for children, because saying children can't use a public twitter account is not going to fly. Also attributing it to bad parenting is also a cop-out in my opinion. Not all o

Yeah those are good points. I'm not really sure how that could be handled well. It has to be handled on a case by case basis. In this situation specifically though the CEO says that he doesn't support their actions either so seem

They don't have to look at the moral behavior of every person they work with, they just need to listen to their employees. The likelihood of employees being able to actually abuse that privilege is pretty low since it requires a lot of

I disagree with that implication. Refusing to do business with ICE in this context is just saying that their actions are so bad that they cannot support that level of evil. All that implies of the people they continue to work is they don&#x

Terrible response, companies totally can pick and choose who they work with and who their customers are. > I want to be clear that this decision is not about contract value — it is about maintaining a consistent and fair business approac

While I think everyone can benefit from therapy, that tagline "Bummed out by the world and their role in it, tech workers are seeking help — and founding some start-ups along the way." seems a little off. I thought it was due to

Palmetto State Armory is specifically what I was referencing, but last time I looked was also 3 years ago

Fair point. I was mostly anticipating people's reaction to it thinking people would correlate it with noticeably less AR-15's.

The only buy back I have to reference is Australia's and it wasn't very much money.

It's not Colt branded AR-15's most people are buying. It's the AR-15 platform that allows people to build a decent AR-15 for 300 bucks that is making them so prolific.

This is the difference between a person who has an established career already and a junior getting their first job. I take my time with job searches and pick companies I like, but getting my very first job was difficult and it wasn't a

Sometimes company policy can get in the way of mental health days if you call them that. They will usually want to think of it as a sick day instead of PTO. While I know not every company does this, every company I've worked for requir

I had the same experience, but I did see quite a few positions in the list that were catered towards juniors or entry level positions so it seems like it would still be really helpful for some people.

There is a far less framework churn now than there was 10 years ago. React, Angular, and Vue have all been around for a long time now relative to previous JS frameworks. React makes a lot of changes but they are, on average, improvements. N

I don't get why people are playing devil's advocate for Stallman so much on this. If it had been anyone else, a famous actor for example, the pitchforks would be out by everyone, but because he is a figure in the computing world p

I use word of mouth recommendations for finding housekeepers rather than a service. I think a lot of people do it this way. I have cameras around my place anyways but at some point you're just going to have to make your own judgements

Doesn't have to be a full-time maid, it's just a lot of work to do regular deep cleanings of large homes IMO so sometimes you need help, but it definitely depends on your disposition towards that type of work and your time commitm

Taking care of a large home is a lot of work. Unless someone is a stay at home person you're pretty much guaranteed to need a maid every once in a while.
