HR practices are the real problem, not just "the privileged few". Try getting a good job without a degree. It's tough. Until that changes, we're stuck with it.

If I can add some clarity, I think you inadvertently (1) blended Christianity with a kind of pantheism, and (2) took "outside" to only mean "not spatially colocated". 1. In Christianity, God is "present" every

It seems like there's an epistemic feedback loop. You have to have a certain baseline to learn to program, but programming, in turn, improves your cognitive abilities.

Personal preference. In my situation, it's a retail product at a company that has a lot of other retail products. The one I work on just happens to be very profitable, so it gets a lot of attention. But I'd be very happy work

Agreed, though I'd modify "software company as opposed to working in an IT department" to "work on something profitable". :-) I don't work at a software company, or even a traditional "tech" company,

The issue isn't whether a children can (or often do) learn "swear words or dirty concepts" from sources other than music. The issue is whether I, as a parent, want my children learning those concepts at all at their age. I

Whoa! Five hours of TV per day. At first I thought this was hyperbole, but a quick trip to Google confirmed it's an accurate metric. That's an absolutely staggering amount of TV.

I almost never compromise with my wife, and we're very happy. That seems shocking, I know, but here's why: Compromise is born from an adversarial starting position. But my wife isn't my adversary. I love her, and I would d

"Embrace change" may be a great idea, but I don't think it gets to the heart of the issue. I think the key to staying married is having two people who are committed to staying married. From that, other things follow: embrac

Superficially, you're right. But a company that wants to survive has to keep its users happy, and data loss is really bad for PR. How many people dumped Yahoo after the breach? I imagine a lot. And really the same is true for any co

Full-stack dev here with almost no real hardware knowledge. Why would you want to use ARM instead of X86 on a server like this? The architecture switch comes with dependency headaches -- what counterbalances those to make it worth it?

In the end, businesses will pass on the cost of the tax in the form of inflated prices, hurting the poor most. For their trouble, the poor get the promise of a government check later. What could go wrong?
