You know I've long stopped caring about how popular a language is in the community. As I get older the question I ask myself is do I honestly enjoy using it? If the answer is yes, then I put it in my programming toolbox and ignore the

Yea exactly, no amount of exercising will change your height as a man or the way you look. E.g All else being equal, you're going to have a hard time finding a partner if you are 5'5 male. Unfortunately, unattractive people will h

With the recent move to ARM, you won't be able to use bootcamp for games anymore either. I think this move was the final nail in coffin for Mac gaming. I've always found it frustrating that a 3k Mac has a barely acceptable GPU com

So you're basically ignoring all the data and studies regarding this issue and still decide to handwave the whole thread. We're talking about the impact of large percent of men not having sex on society and you're response t

I'm not following you here.. Why would the attractive 25 year olds date 30 year old average men when they can have sex with top men? Your average 30yo men having access to women near his own age makes sense but not for younger women,

Agree with the OP. To add on to this, from someone who is actually living in Montreal.. Quebec has the highest tax rates in Canada. To give you an idea, the majority of software engineers here make between: 70k-95k. This means you should b

This is excellent and I’d love to look into this . That being said why would I pick this over go or scala for example ? I’m having a hard time finding a decent argument in the thread bedside syntax. Can someone elaborate?

As a software engineer who also plays plenty of video games, I would say that it largely depends on the kind of game you play as well as HOW you play it. I find games that require lots of exploring, solving puzzles helps improve my focus.

> no time or effort should be "wasted" writing unit tests, that's what QA is for. This is not my experience at all, everywhere I worked unit tests are required. I don't agree at all, writing unit tests is not a waste

Honestly, I don't know if there is such a thing as the perfect job. I suspect the daily grind becomes apparent regardless the career choice. I can imagine how doing the same thing for 20+ becomes dull and uninteresting, especially if

People on reddit are serious ? Which subs are you following ? All I see everywhere there is one word comments such as @nice, @oof,..etc and witty remarks. The discussion quality on HN is far better. Granted we do nitpick here though..

I find it interesting that you lumped Reddit with Indie podcasts. Based on my experience, Reddit is incredibly toxic with a lot of low quality content. You just need a glimpse of /r/worldnews to get a feel for this. That being sai

It is to fundamentally misunderstand the notion of what a landlord is when you consider someone who is simultaneously a tenant. You cannot charge yourself to rent space you own. They may occupy a space in the building but that does not make
