Hahaha. Just wait 25 minutes and someone else will tell you it's actually good for you, then just avoid any and all other nutrition advice for the rest of your life.

I mean...so is every diet. That's sorta the point of the 538 article, no? Diet science is trash. I was just pointing out that you would not at all "be hard pressed to find anyone who advocates for a high protein diet". And ho

Except most of those studies are bullshit bad science done with fundamentally flawed methodology. It got a throwaway line in the article, but just about the only honest way to make scientific conclusions about nutrition would be to take a h

It's a sneering remark, directed at a magazine that remains successful and frequently interesting, that was published in a magazine that most have forgotten and written by an author that most have forgotten.

So...it's pointless? I guess I get the drive from G/A/M for OSes that are unified across devices - it makes life easier from their perspective, and from the perspective of people developing for their systems (and I count myse

I mean, I think we've got a pretty good idea of where that line of thought leads. High estate taxes, confiscatory or near-confiscatory levels of taxation above a certain income level, serious increases in capital gains taxation. All of

It's pointless because we spend billions of dollars and compromise our own morality (see: all the killers they let walk) to put away one group, only to watch another group immediately spring up and be just as bad, if not worse. And thi

I think I saw it here, but somebody had a pretty solid system for sleep tracking/making use of the silent alarms, which I've taken to using. Basically, you charge it twice per day, while you shower/brush/floss/eat i

You can literally go on twitter and find somebody spewing racist shit every second of every day. You cannot do the same with "people claiming that everyone is implicitly biased except for them".

I was specifically responding to the idea, suggested by Afforess, that "using outrage and shame culture to resolve discrimination can be just as bad as acts of discrimination themselves", which is ridiculous, and which the second

It's tech hipsterism. Plus, it's a quick-and-easy way to create a hierarchy in an industry where somebody who's been working for a decade has the same job title, dresses the same, and looks basically the same as somebody who&

Yeah, no bootcamp grads like to code, or code in their free time, or do any self-teaching. They're all just in it for the money. Not like you, right? You're not in it for the money; heck, you'd keep working at your company ev

It is almost like bootcamp grads have not been programming for years. If only we had a word we could use to describe people relatively new to the profession, a keyword that we could use to compare reported salaries across areas and see if w

Yeah, "Java jobs" as a category is going to run from the kids coming out of schools in the Midwest and going to work at an insurance company in Omaha to senior devs at Google. That's a big range, and there're a lot of jo

I don't believe that there's a tiny percentage that have the talent for it; coding is a skill like most skills that can be learned and improved via practice. I'm not trying to be mean, but you're probably not a great tea

That's claptrap. Comments on 99.9% of websites are a pointless cesspool. If someone wants to scream racism or misogyny at other people, they can fire up Wordpress and make their own crappy blog. No one has some moral duty to give the d
