You should consider the possibility that: A. You asserted that you had Asperger's and then proceeded to explain why you believe that. Forgive me for then expecting your explanation to actually have something to do with Asperger's

Nothing in your description is specific to Asperger's Syndrome. You sound like an introvert with some social anxiety, which is not a developmental disorder.

Definitely. Lately I see more vehicles in my area with both Uber and Lyft decals than with only one or the other. It seems there's even a market catering to these people now: https://www.amazon.com/Driver-Light-Remov

Nice. I've thought of some of these myself and implemented them as helper functions, but there are some new ideas here I hadn't thought of. Not sure I'm ready to port my project to a new library, but I may try some of these o

You're right, it would be more constructive for them to respond with name-calling and vitriol instead. But that sort of thing tends to get flagged here.

Another dozen will opine about “inherent differences” in the sexes to explain differences in STEM employment And yet another dozen will opine about how there are no such inherent differences, a far more evidence-free assertion.

Because it's a (typically) masculine Japanese name. If the chosen pseudonym was "Steve", would it be unreasonable to assume it's a male?

I've seen people reach pretty hard to blame various things on Trump, but blaming him for your own lack of reading comprehension is a new one.

Perhaps the asshole is the person who expects the rest of the world to jump through linguistic hoops in order to protect their carefully maintained delusions.

Is , not was . Nice attempt to imply that GP's grandmother was an actual WWII-era Nazi.

You're right, but the fact that this guy is hung up on the language at the expense of team productivity makes me suspect he's not the "getting shit done" type.

This guy sounds like the stereotypical "rockstar" developer. These types create endless drama and ruin team dynamics by insisting that everything be done their way due to their supposed brilliance. The situation you're in now

The angry mob is the reason people like James Damore get fired while his openly white-male-hating coworkers are free to post their opinions on Twitter with no consequences at all. They are not at all irrelevant.

What word should he have used? Negative connotations or not, "neuroticism" is the accepted term for the Big Five trait he was referring to. Should he have made up his own name for it? If he had, internet armchair scientists would

It would mean completely rewriting your UI. Angular 2+ is a completely different framework from 1.x. 2+ shouldn't have even used the Angular name IMO.

The price to the first person would go up astronomically and they would get all the rights to resell it. How would they enforce their (exclusive) right to resell it? The first person to whom they sell a copy could then give away more co

Yeah, this guy seems to be looking for a controversy. Nobody ever said the train's power system is self-contained. In fact, the article he references as claiming that it's the "world-first truly solar train" makes numero

Maybe for white people. You mean culturally homogeneous people. I guarantee those names are arranged in a Pareto distribution, in which the vast majority belong to tiny numbers of people, while everyone else has names that are common with

Because it's a FLIR (thermal) camera, which is a technology that has practically nothing in common with your phone's camera. You're comparing apples to oranges.

The object is hot. Military FLIR devices can be toggled between "white hot" and "black hot" settings. You can see the BLK/WHT indicator in the lower left corner of the footage. The pilot/observer toggles it at

It makes your URLs shorter. You could also use base64, but it has some non-URL-friendly characters so it would have to be escaped.

I like how the author manages to slip in a completely irrelevant snide remark about "white males". These sorts of essays would be easier to take seriously if their authors weren't always such stereotypical ideological puppets
