Fascinating. Ill admit I've never traveled to Europe. What part is easier? My wife (an American citizen) has gone to Canada fairly frequently and clearing the custom is a quick formality. My narrow minded self can only imagine that sho

I remember one of the first time the company I work for had a "First gen in tech" event. We had a funny discussion about how, technically, I was part of the target audience. I'm as much of a white western dude as they come, b

The trope comes partly from some of us who have lived in both and saw the difference first hand. It also depends on where you are (eg: Im told Quebec is a lot worse than Ontario, though I've never gotten the chance to compare them). B

Not the gp, but I'd think: maybe, maybe not, simply because he did and they did not. Like, I have the skillset and connections required to build a reasonably successful company. I'd very likely be better off than I am right now if

I think there is one line that matters in term of income though, and it is the threshold of "I no longer worry about most things". On one side you have the folks where a bad health emergency, a boiler that breaks, a forgotten debt

Yup. Thats why I think all 3 of my points above need to happen at the same time. Working toward forgiving debts while still handing them out is counter productive. Only semi related, but I also take issue about how we got there in the first

I didn't say go to expensive private colleges, I said TELLING people to go to expensive private colleges. And of course, "everyone" is an hyperbole in this context.

Its a bit grayer than that. In this case generally it is option 1 (transaction contract when the key is originally given or sold). But then a third party comes in and makes a marketplace out of people breaking their contract and how you dea

You read this wrong. I was specifically mentioning AAA games with large examples to make the point more obvious. I then mentioned "if the game is good" because if it isn't you shouldn't expect to get your investment back

Regardless of how I feel about it, the options are: - Keep giving bread and lose an indeterminate amount of business from my target audience - Limit the rights of the people who I gave the bread to - Stop giving bread at all. If #2 is not p

If its leftover then its lower quality. That's fine. But in this case its the exact same product. If I'm a bakery owner and I give fresh out of the oven bread for cheaper/free to homeless folks, and I watch them turn around a

Not arguing its a bad thing that we make things more inclusive (my employer is very much into these initiatives and I fully support it and am involved in some of it!), but a lot of this growth happened in companies not exactly known for it.

Maybe that shows that its the right level to address these issues? Were unions the right way before because doing things globally wasn't realistic. But could it be today? Like, if employers don't give enough vacations, is the solu

I probably made my point poorly. I'm not saying that things need to change to accommodate me. I'm saying that at a macro scale, it has an impact on people (and likely society) no matter how we look at it, because you can't fi

by shados 7y ago
Absolutely. I'll totally admit its my fault. But the fact is that 20-30 years ago, even though I had the same personality I have today, with the same weakness, it just wasn't a problem. A similar situation is with food in America.

Thats why the feature is usually called "shuffle" rather than "random". Then if you stop to think about it a bit, the expected meaning is reasonably clear.

I'm a huge React fanboy, but if you try and step through the React code with a debugger, we're kind of a far cry from the days of Backbone and even Angular. For the common mortal, it has to be treated as a black box. Fortunately,

Totally agreed that the diversity of technical innovation is how we got here and its fantastic. Hopefully we keep up with more innovations (such as npm alternatives :cough:). Its easy to see why some folks would get riled up over this crap
