4chan is more general instead of being focused on a domain as HN is. However, I do prefer a fully uncensored platform as I don't trust anyone's judgement but my own regarding content.

Of course. Any censorship is wrong, but he already knew that and decided to do it anyway out of fear and greed.

Many software companies spend money like they have no care in the world. Inflated salaries and all kinds of silly perks. Feels pointless to care about saving them money when they're going to hire Beyonce to be at the holiday party.

I have a hobby farm and late summer is when all of the ducks and geese we hatched in the winter or early spring need to be butchered and put in the freezer. Get more efficient at it each year.

There's no requirement to report stats to the FBI and several municipalities and local sheriff's have stopped. The stats the FBI have are not a very accurate picture of reality.

I don't want to pay for basic news. It's a commodity. If there was a source for deeper analysis that I liked I'd consider paying for it. I used to do that but those sources all went crazy around 2016 and haven't recov

Yeah, same for me. H1B hires should not be approved under these conditions. That was allowed because there was a shortage of eligible citizens with these skills. There's now a glut and people with these skills are needing to take jo

No way to know for sure, but I'd guess the number of employed developers writing blogs and having personal projects is in the single digits. For developers with more than 20 years experience, I'd be surprised if it's even 1%

If the degree they grant you doesn't help you to get a job that can pay back the loan it cost to get the degree, how can it be said to be worth it? Certainly not in a financial sense.

Sounds like you'd find cars more 'usable' and don't need/use trucks for the unique things they offer, which is towing and hauling things bigger than groceries.

Today's 1/2 ton has the same capabilities as a 3/4 ton from 20 years ago. Payload, HP, torque. I own both. Objectively more usable.

Horrible? I can see mildly offensive, but horrible? Why is it so bad exactly?

Recent (this generation) Indian immigrants to the US use the term in my experience. I've never heard anyone else say it.

This generation seems to love rules and forcing others to bend the knee. I don't get why, but it's highly offputting.

A proper interface to GIT. Beleive it or not, but before git we developed software just fine and spent close to zero time using or learning whatever tool was being used for source control. GIT requires the end user to know way too much ab

I don't do anything to compensate because I don't view it as a deficiency. If anything, I'm often asking/telling people to slow down. Spewing a bunch of half baked word vomit isn't impressive to me. I've don

He didn't just make content for them, he was the original co-founder of Vice in '94.

Surely, but I don't notice any less insane progressive takes, rather I also now see insane conservative takes. Appears additive to me.

That's wild you can still say black there. That's been a no go in the US for a while.

On the other hand, I love it now and hated it before. Guess it depends on what you're looking for. Me - I like little to no moderation and government interference and don't find much offensive and have no problem just ignoring a

What is the preferred term in the UK - African British?

by stcroixx 3y ago
Yes and I'm dead set against it. When that blows up in our face we deserve it for allowing it to happen. The best we can hope for is China ruins their own economy rendering them impotent.

Europe deciding to depend on Russia for their energy and not focusing on defense spending is the unbelievable part to me, but they've been doing this for quite some time now. They walked right into it. Russia is doing what they'

It's not just unix, but programming languages themselves and general patterns for how software is built and how projects are run. It's what I'm most frustrated by in this industry. So much waste. I once thought surely this

HTML excels at this. Also has the advantage of not depending on a third party with all the compromises that entails.

A good time to leave Germany for better prospects was about 1750. It was already full then and they haven't succeeded at any new territory.
