We voted our conscience. I for one, have no regrets.

Good observation. I seriously doubt though, that that is much of a factor here. I know, and have always known a number of famous people. This was different. This was just a guy who seemed to have zero privacy and who lowered his voice c

I can't speak to earlier elections because I don't remember them -- but by election time, Nixon's pardon wasn't nearly as present in people's minds as Chevy Chase's SNL skits about Ford stumbling and falling. F

What should we do? We should vote our conscience in November. That's how it works.

I understand why you do but I don't really care how long it takes -- because I don't need a new job. The one I have is just fine. But I'll probably take a shot at this one because that "blind" process won't c

Of course he would say that -- he wants a pipeline of cheap labor. But it is not a basic skill. Not everyone has an aptitude for it and very few have the desire. But I do think everybody should know more about computers and networks than

I'd hire the average guy. Average is good. Assholes are bad.

It started some time about 25-30 years ago as the Cold War was winding down -- and it is a genius move by the upper socioeconomic class to divert our attention from the real issue (it's all about the Benjamins). You see, it is true t

These laws often make reference to other laws, right? I'd like to see the things referenced seamlessly merged in. Also, it would be awesome if they could be presented in such a way that laymen could understand what laws actually mean.

What a horrible curse! At 50, life is already borderline boring -- even another 50 years would be almost unbearable. So another 950 years? Damn. I'd probably spend most of it counseling younger people not to have too much fun -- lest

Common Lisp. The only tool I use with it, I guess would be emacs. Unless by "tool", you mean libraries. However, it's Ruby (often generated by Common Lisp) that puts food on the table these days -- and Python that I'm u

No. The female rate (per 100,000) increased by 1.0 while the male rate increased by 1.1. 1.1 (the male rate increase) is greater than 1.0 (the female rate increase). Irresponsible reporting however, made it seem otherwise.

No. The female rate increased less than the male rate. The male rate was already 3 times the female rate, and increased slightly more -- but because the female rate was so low to begin with, the female rate represented a 200% increase. Ou

"Researchers also found an alarming increase among girls 10 to 14, whose suicide rate, while still very low, had tripled." It is tragic that girls of that age range kill themselves at all. By 2014, their suicide rate rose to

Don't you think you're overreacting just a bit? You had your resume somewhere it could be "harvested" -- and you're alarmed that a staffing agency found it? Security basics? Have you tried calling them? According t

While I can't answer the exact question you're asking, I can offer some thoughts that may be helpful. I spent the first ~15 years of my career as a SysAdmin -- and imo, all good SysAdmins have always done what now counts as SRE.

Of course there are. A better question might have been "are males in charge of HR everywhere? ". Because if they were, there might be a legit argument for -- oh wait just a damn minute -- I'm not even going to step into

How much money would you need to buy a modest home you and your partner would be happy with? Is it truly out of reach? Or is it something that will take a long time? Also, how much money would it cost to buy a modest home a very short comm

What's wrong with renting? I rent. I've always rented. And I think it's silly to buy. But I live on the opposite side of the pond from you. Only old people here are obsessed with owning a home.
