I'm a relatively new software engineer who grew up in the Silicon Valley. I moved out the day I graduated high school and am never planning on coming back (I'm 21 now). I haven't used any of my contacts from high school in or

Thank you for that link, that really changed my perspective.

What you're doing is generalizing people based on their gender; which is, by definition, sexist. I'm not trying to harp on you - I have also been guilty of this not too long ago. Your experience does not represent that of all men,

Going off of that Vice article, sometimes I think that a 40/60 ratio of men to women would be favorable... it'd probably reflect the proportions of our hunter gatherer ancestry, and a lot of psychological benefits would come with

Yea I definitely agree with you there. I think it's two camps, the socially aware people, and the socially inept people. The socially inept people basically have some behavioral flaw that they themselves cannot see or understand. Usual

I'm sorry but I gotta call bullshit on this. I see this opinion so much, on here and throughout pop culture, but I don't think it's true. From my high school experience, popularity boils down to social awareness, and inversel

I hold the opinion you should not be paid to make software, in most cases, in this era. It tends to be an instrument for control and manipulation. (ads)

That's ridiculous.... the only way to actually achieve that is to abstain from all plastic consumption, and abstain from all electricity consumption.

I don't really understand why they presented it that way, by-the-gig (or 100MB) sounds much more appealing than rollover data. Maybe it's some liability or insurance thing? Cause you basically have to fork over a bunch of money fo

Oh, yeah. I did, I forgot I installed the plugin.

I didn't. I used the asm.js version.

I mean... if you're talking about the entire HTML and CSS spec, then it'd be way, way, way ridiculously slower than just using a WebView.

Since this thread is empty, I'll post myself using it. I'm not a pro though. But someone did comment on my vim skillz so maybe it might be satisfactory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZysdYWuPwJU

Wow... when you put it that way, you wonder why we aren't making more progress than we already are.
