Seems to me that if you are a decently talented developer one would be able to adjust to whatever work methodology a company uses. It's a pointless thing to involve whether a candidate knows anything of the system currently in place. E

Yeah, these people who are in the business of making money in their field know nothing of what they are doing and should take the advice of random anonymous person on the Internet. Based on the shenanigans of some of the people in the enter

They do the same thing here in the US or I guess Netflix is creating a large number of foreign movies and TV shows.

I often wonder if costs could be lowered for many of these companies if they would stop locating in some of the country's most expensive places to operate and for their employees to live. I know the arguments about workforce availabili

So, if I take your favorite language and somehow manage to cause its ecosystem to get as bad as you claim Javascript's is, does that mean your favorite language is now bad?

The article is worse, it suggests that the Javascript language itself is what has doing the lying. Not people, the language. Keep that in mind.

I'd rather pay $8 a month for access to thousands of TV shows and movies I might want to watch versus paying $4 one time for a movie I know I want to watch. Especially when the movie I want to see will likely eventually show up on my $

That wouldn't make it the name, that would make it the nickname.

I'm not talking about policing, I'm speaking of justice systems which do go back quite a ways into history.

There's a difference between "most" and "big parts".

I believe there is some sort of automatic compensation for being wrongfully convicted in many areas, depending on the court that did the conviction. Being wrongfully jailed before conviction is a different matter.

by talmand 11y ago
You're not going back far enough. I would say that throughout much of history there has been similar problems with all justice systems.

Not that I disagree, but there are examples of the opposite sentiment being used by elected officials during campaigns to get certain demographics to vote for them.

I would see the difference between a non-sponsored host openly displaying bias through their own opinions versus a sponsored host presenting a bias based on their advertisers.

On the flip side of that, would anybody get upset if an author was asked "why a male character"? What if the author was female? The whole thinking behind that kind of complaint within the context of the question with no reason is

I've never heard augmented reality described as essentially a fancy HUD. Every other example of it I've seen on the web describes it as what these people are trying to call mixed reality. They are just trying to create a new term

Why is that "getting crap" though? It's a legitimate question to ask with many possible interesting answers. His answer was actually quite good, no real reason other than it felt right for the character.

Where do you see that he's getting crap for a female lead?

>> Do you understand the difference between women making sexual jokes and men making them? No, I don't think in sexist terms.

When I first heard about it, the amount was in thousands. Then it went up to $100k. Now it's $175k and counting. I'm just going with the notion that no one knows and most of it is made up for sensational titles.

Buddy, if you have to ask then I can't explain it to you. I know a ghost sound when I hear it.

Ah, yes, good times. It's a cycle, happens about every ten years or so. The usual "this example of popular culture I don't like will destroy our youths!" type of thinking. My favorite was that time Papa Smurf was convert

Well, it is personal experience but the most sexual jokes I've heard in person in the workplace came from women. And I found them rather funny. But to each their own I guess.

But I see that as a difference of a character being significant to the reader versus significant to the story.

But there's lots of plotting and planning for people to just kill and die as well.

Yes, I absolutely love Arya's character because of things like that. She is a major factor of teaching the reader how the world works because we learn through her realizations of her failures and disappointments just as she does.

But I am talking about the story, not the universe. There is no main character to a universe. But I'm not understanding how I'm arguing against my own point, could you elaborate? I'm saying that the chart is an indication of

The kidnapping was not the reason, it was the excuse. He was also accused of killing the King, which is more important than killing his father in the scheme of things. But notice he didn't do it and not many characters care anymore. Ty

No worries, when I was your age I complained about the older crowd as well when they did something I didn't like.
