I get that this is posted as an attempt at attacking him. But honestly this is rather calm, even if it is somewhat frank. No personal attacks or derogatory behavior, just bluntly stating his oppinon. This is exactly the behavior I was hopin

I love this. The piece does a great job of showing that the languages you use won’t solve the problems inherently due to the programmers. Also does a nice job of showing how few people actually read the content before deciding that “they kn

Criminals have guns in the UK just the same. Unless the US police is worried about being shot by innoscent civilians that is no justification. And if they are then why on earth aren’t they doing a better job of verifying credible threat in

In Denmark the law is very clear on what you can require in a non-compete, and what level of compensation you must at minimum include. Maximum of 12 months, and they must give you a 150% old salary one time payment at the onset. And if you

Innovating by making new cars. Just like Apple is innovating by making new iPhones new laptops and new iPads. Have you seen the new iPad Pro? It’s a beast that almost deserves a new catagory all for itself. Yet people say Apple has stopped

Counterpoint from Denmark that has the same movements of “wrap your kid in bubble wrap” and “it’s offensive to wear sombreros”, we don’t see an overuse of opioids or penecilum because the medical system isn’t for profit and you aren’t a cus

People keep complaining that Apple isn’t bringing the next iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch level innovation, but honestly no one is pushing them so why should they? As far as moving markets they’ve done enough to coast a bit. Noone is compl

This website is absolute horrible on Chrome/iPhone. It’s jumping wierdly when scrolling and cutting up the content. I gave up trying to read it.

My experiance with food companies is that this is just a way for the company to excuse their own shitty practices which drive customers off. Of cause I’m going to be “loyal” if price quality and reliability are all on point. But almost ever

If you care to actually read the post he’s not saying he was targeting white people because of race. He is saying they target people due to suspicious behavior and then gives you a lay down of the race of those targeted. It’s not an account

I find it weird that they just took down the site and took over the twitter account during a search. Nothing has been ruled illegal. It’s like if someone sued Google and decided to take the search engine down during the initial search for i

> but it’s a jerk move... What on earth are you on about!? The author has every possible opportunity to set out whatever he wants in the license. If he wants anyone who uses it to name their firstborn after him he can put that in there.

Try to read that back again. You are asking why if Apple is allowed to do this on their product, why is google not allowed to do this on everyone else’s product. If google wants to make a phone that’s locked to an operating system with only

Don’t install thonny, it’ll fail in horribly odd ways for a multitude of widely used simple to use libraries. Just go for winpython or anaconda, and use a text-editor or IDE that’s stable. The last thing you want new users to run into are i

So much more harm than good is done trying to get new users to use virtual environments. Just get them started with straight up python, tell them that the solution to “couldn’t find X” is always just to type pip install X in a terminal and

So in the midst of an investment boom we are engineering ways not only to reduce tax on gains, but to ensure the gains will be reinvested. Yet at the same time this provides no value if people pull out their investments in a down-market. So

I think Pfizer has 3 times the number of employees and 2 times the valuation. So not really something that jumps out as being such a huge difference. Even though you would expect a large difference since most tech companies don’t employ uns

It sounds like you should invest some time in learning to program python in a pythonic way. If you are trying to build stuff using tons of design patterns factory patterns, you are doing it wrong. Most of those where made to work around lim

Prefixing something with “practical” just to be able to argue that a particular person is the inventor seems more the play on semantics. Steve jobs didn’t invent the computer or the portable music player or the smart phone, and it seems mos

Microsoft is gigantic, they loose absolutely nothing by competing against themselves. People get caught up in the on-size-fits-all mentality. If you are a 20 man start-up it’s stupid to make 3 separate solutions that all compete. When you e
