It gets flak due to being unfinished (which is what the article is about). The movie itself jokes about it being unfinished a few times. It was also the first film released after Tarzan, which many say was the end of the 90s Disney Renaissa

This is my favorite Disney animated film. The story of its production is interesting but the end result is a very non-Disney film. I was never a big Disney fan due to preferring straight-up comedies as a child vs. drama/adventure with

Gotta find something for hundreds of engineers and product people to do when you overhire, like most tech companies.

Every time my company does a push for diversity, they hire the same kind of people - middle to upper middle class, college educated, comfortable to well-off suburban upbringing.

I think it's going to get harder if not impossible. My company has never differentiated from junior to staff engineers for on call. The most we were able to do is convince leadership to make the on call rotation one day every month and

Because for every inch of computer power get devs get, we take a mile in unoptimized code, frameworks, etc. for the 'developer experience'.

You're correct it's not just about color, it's also about class (IMO it's mostly about class, not just within America but the Global South as a class entirely as well).

Not many are writing papers on their iPhone, but many do on iPads. Mouse and keyboard support are good and so are the apps. I think the average person that doesn't need to do heavy editing, coding, etc. can get by with an iPad Pro w&#x

If you have vacation time to burn or unlimited PTO, take it. I was surprised how many people won't take time off because they can't go anywhere. As a big fan of staycations, I recommend them. Hide your work laptop for a week and j

Moving a few close friends to another app is easy. Moving acquaintances, people you just met, businesses, organizations, etc. is another thing entirely.

This is one of the most copied and pasted pieces of advice on the internet. Just shave it, grow a beard, and become muscular! Not everyone looks good without hair, some people have faces that look young instead of manly, can't grow a f

(Pre-covid of course) I think about this often, but then I go for a walk (or in other cities, a drive) and see packed bars and restaurants every night with people from all ages having a good time. Makes me feel like the problem is on me - p

Don't care about the score but I often find myself opening HN even when I just closed it. I often block it via hosts, apps, or the built-in settings.

"Maker Days" sound like a great idea but they don't fit every company. At my place the eng department is far from the biggest team and we do a lot of cross-team work. No way the rest of the company (who do most of their work

I was typing a comment but you said it best - this is yet another HN thread where people brag about how different they are and how these strategies suck when they are the way to go in the real world.

Us nerdy engineers hate this stuff no matter where we're from. But from what I can gather at places I've worked at, most customers are neutral to positive about it. Some REALLY like it, believe it or not. Tech companies are often

I had this issue too, even before the pandemic. In fact back when I was looking even if there were Elixir job postings they often strongly preferred a Ruby/Rails background on top of that, which I didn't have. I just decided it&#x

They stuck to their "dad/classic rock + some 90s/early 00s rock + the three jazz/soul albums everyone knows" until the ad revenue wasn't there and they're trying to overcompensate for it.

Eh, we took over half of Mexico in the 19th century and made the Philippines and Puerto Rico pseudo-colonies a decade or so before WWI. I would say we didn't want to get into continental European wars, perhaps due to capital/busin

Most in-demand 3DS games have not been cheap in years. They've been pretty expensive due to low printing (Bravely Default, DQ remakes, most Atlus RPGs) for years now. I'm guessing Nintendo games are OK due to so many people owning

It's well-recommended in tech forum/enthusiast circles. It actually is a good book and worth reading if you're a backend dev. But the % of devs in the US that have read it is probably below 2-3%. Most of us (devs, not HN user
