It’s not whether life is fair, it’s all about how you perceive things and it’s a choice to be happy. It may sound cheesy but I see people living in misery all the time, blaming everything and everyone else around them for their own lack of

I have done ASP.Net before and dabbled in rails, django etc. It's been 2 years since I actively worked on the backend though, I still go in once in a while to fix bugs and whatnot but nothing super extensive.

wondering about the same, I'd be really interested in Etsy as I have been a seller myself. I come from more of a front-end background with some knowledge of working on the backend as well, but don't have extensive experience with

If your code review makes the coder feel personally attacked or embarrassed, you're not doing something right. Code reviews are meant for 2 (or more) way communications and discussions in order to hold quality of the code up to a stand

Nerf guns in the office is the worst, I don't understand what's the obsession with nerf guns in "start-up"s. It's incredibly distracting and sometimes dangerous, everybody just abuses it and list it as a "perk&

again, all the points you listed which make girls more "luxury", I could also argue that society make them the way it is. 1. parents have to spend more money/time to ensure her safety -- because boys in india often don'

That’s a terrible justification, girls are only a luxury because society make them to be. Through western societies and modern China, it’s already proven that other than physical strength, women are capable of receiving and making good use

In some aspects China is more sexist towards women: - girls are still less desirable simply because their children do not carry the last name - people still believe older women = less value whereas older men = more value - women who aren

why is this comment down voted by people? When I was born doctors were forbidden for reveal the gender of the baby. If anything I actually think one child policy helped the gender imbalance, before then, people could have how many ever chil

I believe the groom demanded to be paying for car and house is actually majority of the cases in China these days, especially in cities. Women have decent income themselves, most parents only have a single child, so why should mine (girl) b

you don't, but when unspecified with "as a woman.." I'm guessing people in the tech community are generally just assumed to be men since that's the majority

You come across as someone who is too calculating of dating and marriage, treating it like a engineering or mathematical problem. Sure, selecting the right partner to spend the rest of your life is very important and anyone should put some

same, I used to be fairly active on facebook during my highschool and college years, ever since it started filling my feed with politics, ads and junk I've been much less engaged with facebook. I disabled my account for a period of tim

I have experienced similar, not as extreme but the feeling of being overly mindful of "risks", creating lots of spikes rather than just doing what needs to be done. Estimation in scrums are meant for exactly -- estimation, a way f

sorry to sound like a jerk here, while I'm aware things like this happen in China all the time and I am no fan of this type of policies and unclear communications, why does the author call out China in particular when they clearly indi

actually, it doesn't make zero sense. I'm a woman as well, and I would much agree with the original comment, and other women have said the same to me that they wouldn't move with a man that is not their husband. I'm not

this may work well for smaller cities that are highly dense, but for a lot of North American cities, where a large population live in the suburbs and commute into city center for work, public transit are often unreliable and there's no

My problem is not so much about getting paid, lots of companies when they hire they carry out at ~4hour in person interview, within which you'll be spending at least 2-3 hours solving problems and you're not getting paid to do it.

I really enjoyed this interview, finally, some voices of reasons and not blind yelling at men for being sexist pigs just from reading some biased media's twisted headlines. All these times around this memo, how many people actually car

hmm I think this varies a lot based on personality and your upbringing. But here are my $0.02, try convincing yourself that you're not your code, you're not your work. You as a person is much more than just what you're paid t

Seems like a really cool project with potential. Would like to see the ability to preview on filters and synths, that seems like a big downside compared to the desktop DAWs. Also not sure if there's a place to report bugs and provide f

Wow, this is such great suggestion with well defined steps. I am not a student but have been wanting to know more about infrastructures and AWS since I have mostly been doing application level work. Thank you for this suggestion!

exactly, in so many situations, why do we have to make things black or white? this is exactly what creates "us" vs "them".

used this in two hackathons, it was relatively easy to learn and has a pretty big set of functionalities built in such as physics, collision etc. It helped us through two fairly successful game jams, would recommend.
