Maturity. Not every industry can sustain a "move fast and break things" mentality. Software is fairly young in terms of capital investment growth. Wait till it becomes as boring and grave as manufacturing.

But having a baby has a 100% probability of altering one's schedule for the rest of the life! Sure, but you can put your kid up for adoption if you are so deeply affected. I mean, Steve Job's biological mother did, so it is not

The criteria was "reversibility", not societal acceptance. Also, "having children" is not "considered good" by society in 100% of cases. We'd never have Roe v Wade if that were the case. I think you are bu

"Irreversible" life choices, in no particular order: * Getting convicted for an offense with "mandatory minimum" jail time - e.g. dealing drugs to minors. * Driving drunk, crashing and getting fully paralyzed - 'coz

But please don't try to convince people its all flowers and unicorns. Oh my! No way! More like tantrums, stinky diapers, strongly curtailed freedoms, opportunity costs and grey hair and/or hair loss. But I can count at least 12

Nailed it. Perspective is what it's about. Your kids won't be the same in a few years, neither will you and nor the world. Take care of your health while doing all that you do and you'll get back to doing the other things t

Then it is perfectly reasonable to have a closed door for calls. However, even in that case, I would not mind an interruption or two during the call. Any more though, I'd start questioning the role of the caregiver.

Umm, I guess you have never given this thought in the first person, i.e. placing yourself in the shoes of the parent or the child?

Please tell me you do not have kids.

Wait, so what happens to the kids, or what are they doing, while your door is closed (and for how long)?

On my "geographically spread" team, I have no issue with a team memeber having their kid in their lap while discussing the intricacies of postgres. Perhaps, part of this empathy is driven by having a 3 year old myself. I can total

Not GP, but there is a sliver of sound logic in the call to put your money where your mouth is. Why not start a charity/non-profit that assists such victims of outsourcing? I'd think unemployment benefits were supposed to do that.

Hence also the magic phrase "fiduciary duty" that absolves everyone of wrongdoing (if any) in making such decisions.

If you think technology won't be vilified, wait until the robots start flipping burgers and pumping gas (or electricity) at >10% market penetration.

Status page is lit up like a Christmas tree! Looks like AWS finally found the myriad non-green icons.

I think this is the most reasonable explanation. Glycemic load seems to be the key. Otherwise, nothing wrong with eating vs blending.

Care to elaborate the reasoning behind this? I am curious why this is so.

Right to repair should only apply to hardware. Anything software related is fair game for hacking/reversing. Otherwise it is like asking Apple to provide the special screwdriver that opens the special screws they designed to keep the w

Why not use this info to assign a "leak" score to repos that have such info? Don't give anyone the details via a search interface but do rank the various public repos by the number of such leaks. That way the repo owners get

This. Trump did not win because he is in any way better than Hillary. He won because the people who supported Hillary never showed up to vote. As close to a win by default that one could get.

Your doctor's brain is not the world's best device for information retrieval. As a former doctor, agree 100%. Still the medical profession seems to look down upon "information aid"-like technology. Beyond accurate phys

You've hit the nail on the head. The lack of (enforced but painfully overrideable) standards was a fundamental contributor to fragmenting the "Linux Desktop", if there was such a thing to begin with. This coupled with the c

Too much hype, too little proof. Until then, this is pure shit, nothing more. SV BS spreading from software to Biotech/Pharma.
