One thing I want to mention in addition to what everyone else says is that community is essential. Even if you sleep well, eat right and exercise, without community it's likely depression will find you eventually.

I know it's irrational, but I'm cautious. It has been very consistent in the United States' history: there's a recession roughly every decade at least , and we're overdue. The question is who will be standing up

Don't bother. Index funds will beat everyone but .000001% of people. Even most of those who beat an index fund lose once you account for the amount of time wasted (what I mean by this is that if you took the time you spend and converte

Yup! Personally I'd never buy a new car, but they aren't really that bad of a deal. I will say though, there's an uncertainty that exists that wasn't apparent in my simplification. Transmission failing out at 9 years wou

Indeed. I only mention the original post because Hyundai's warranty is better than average and their cars are cheaper than average (for new, anyway). Even though Hyundai's depreciate faster than say, Honda, the depreciation curve

I'd have to dig it up, but it's the warranty that makes the difference.

If a truly anonymous (which I'm skeptical that study was, but I'll give them the benefit of doubt) hiring method yields more white people, then that's 100% OK. The goal IMO should be to prevent bias with respect to gender, ra

It's a myth that a brand new car is a bad deal. Brand new cars are way superior to used (1-2 year old). However, this is only true if you own it until it no longer works. This is where most people go wrong. If you don't own it for

There's plenty of evidence that people care about skin color, irregardless of race. Are you serious? Talking about Asians is a red herring. Asians actually suffer similarly to blacks once you look at Asians other than eastern ones (e.g

When I say minority I mean anyone who doesn't have a European or American sounding name. Even white people with "strange names" benefit.

Unsurprising. I tell all of my minorities friends to remove their pictures from LinkedIn and use American sounding names. The increase in callbacks always shocks me. You can do this experiment in reverse yourself if you already have an Amer

99.99% of people on this site will die and their employers won't care at all (whether they should or not is another story). I'd say if he worked hard and long enough to get recognition he was probably pretty happy with what he did

Wasn't there a proposal to expose native functionality in browsers on iOS and Android? If that were to be finished it could make things like this and react native less necessary.

I'm curious to how this is priced. For less than $200 you could buy a coffee for yourself and someone else and meet with them in person every day . I do see how a small start-up could benefit from this, though. However, unlike most th

That's not the point though. You could replace 6 and 10 with 8 and 12.

Even if it's true that less sleep results in less life, it's still a wash. Say you slept 10 hours a day and lived to 100. In other words, you have 14 wakings hours times 100 years. 1400 * 365 hours, in other words. Now compare thi

There's no solution other than anonymity. Humans are and will forever be inherently biased. Therefore the solution is to remove information we don't want to influence us. In your case, this means gender. Other than anonymity, whic

Just pick one and stick with it. There's some serious FOMO going on in the JavaScript community. When you read articles talking about all the great benefits they see from switching frameworks, what you don't see are the gains the

As long as there's something to gain for an aspiring developer by creating a new framework, there will always be churn as there will always be new frameworks. Rather than reducing churn we should aspire to make it less and less painf

Interesting. In that case, isn't all trading, given you work for an employer, "insider trading." If you see a bug opened on your company's GitHub and think it's crucial and sell all of your stock that's insider

The article itself doesn't make it clear how they will determine whether or not its insider trading or just a coincidence. Also, if there was a "bad vibe" at the company, but they didn't specifically know about the breac

That's more of a pedagogical question than one with a concrete answer. To your last point: I don't think being the best is something that merits praise, necessarily. A 10000% improvement, whatever that means to you, is probably mo

I don't think it's worth praising effort nor results. The real thing that should be praised imo is measurable improvement.

The short answer is yes. That being said, you have to ask yourself if that's the most pressing issue your site has. Almost certainly it is not.
