Is Oracle all that bad of a place to work? Everyone _hates_ Oracle for product reasons but I've never met any engineers that said it was a terrible place to work or particularly worse than any other big tech b2b companies (e.g. ibm, mi

Im tired of the overtop concern about it and the heavy-handed punishment I have seen for it mostly. Im also just not a fan of the entire academic system which puts people in massive debt (often because of parent/social pressure) that h

Not surprised. Just about everyone performs some amount or cheating in high school and college. Really if anything these places are teaching you not to get caught. To be honest I think academic integrity policies are stupid. Colleges admini

You ever been in Courthouse Station? It looks beautiful compared to the rest of the system. That said, I dont think of the T as particular grungy with graffiti its mostly just poorly maintained.

Why don't we just put everyone in a box after they are born and feed them through a straw like a hamster so they can't possibly ever harm themselves? People need to take responsibility for themselves.

This kind of hoarding runs on my mother's side of the family. My mother's mother lived through the depression and saved _everything_. When she was put into a nursing home we had to get the house ready for sale and there was quite

I used to run a shared webhost provider back in the early 2000s. Flat-file software was a big deal for our customers back then because MySQL and PostgreSQL databases cost actual money.

TOML is not much better either. Large TOML documents suck to work with.

Kinda my thought here. Finland and Sweden in NATO formalizes some stuff but I am highly confident if they were attacked and not in NATO we would probably still show up. They are close allies.

I am so thankful I went to college 15ish years ago and my parents were able to do it without loans... our future is so fucked with the way we are burying our young under ridiculous amounts of debt.

Almost certainly per-person. There is nothing in Boston that can be rented for $700 short of a broom closet and that might still fetch $1000.

Are you confusing UMass Amherst with Amherst College (generally considered an A-tier school)? I've never heard anyone say UMass Amherst is _significantly_ more prestigious than BU... they've always been fairly comparable other tha

I didn't attend UMass, but have had friends that went there and they seem fine a decade and some change after graduating. I think UMass education AND networking is on par with private schools that rank in the 50-100 tier (I went to one
