Which sounds like a fine argument to make when dealing with the more extreme cases, but where do you draw the line of who gets silenced? The question is whether we are comfortable with corporations assuming the role of thought police - corp

Now that you’re a truck driver, what are your thoughts on the future of that industry with regards to self driving trucks? E.g. is it something drivers are worried about in your experience?

I’d rather not have a straw at all than attempt to drink out of another cardboard straw. Those things fall apart and collapse before I can finish my drink, and they make the drink taste like paper. If straws are a matter of convenience, pap

This was a constant discussion when I was in school for mechanical engineering. How do you balance learning theory and learning how to apply that theory, given the limited amount of time available? It came down to a common gripe that we did

If anyone is interested in a more in depth and humorous take on puns, I remember enjoying "The Pun Also Rises" by John Pollack - a book I randomly picked up a few years back from a Barnes and Nobles. He explored some of the histor

As with most thing, it depends, right? For one, you’d have to actually implement a read-only version of your application, including creating an understandable user experience for that scenario. That’s an additional task per feature, though,

No of course not. They're just a bit more explicit about the fact that permissions can persist across forks.

At least on Bitbucket they're pretty explicit about the rules around forks. Creating a new private repository, you get the option to select [No Forks | Allow Forks | Allow only private forks]. I don't see any kind of configuration

Your observation is pretty spot on, but I want to add some context. If you’re just doing a trip through NZ (which is awesome and I’m envious of you right now by the way), I’m assuming you haven’t tried to buy anything online. My experience

Also adjust that 5x number based on how many hours apart your time zones are. Remote in the same time zone is really not as bad compared to even just 3 people on different continents trying to collaborate.

For what it’s worth, I’ve come across maybe 5 bitcoin atms and they’ve all been out of service or completely unplugged. I’ve never actually seen one on and operational.

I've worked with a programmer on a project who could not do basic algebra (4x + 1 = 5, solve for x), and would outsource any math to stackoverflow to get answers in his specific language. Those answers were usually incorrect because he

I have high hopes for Glimmer[1] though as something that can compete with other view libraries and/or frameworks. I'm especially glad that Glimmer diverges from the Ember brand a bit, because there seems to be a lot of outdated (
