I dont think the logic here is to assume that OP is dismissing the argument simply because they're women. I think OP just means that because they're already in the field, their opinions and viewpoints are very different from peopl

i read your article, and im praying that it's satire. and if not, i'm extremely concerned that it has 34k "claps" or whatever you call it on medium

you can't assume that most of the general population has these cars, though. a 2013 camry going 90 MPH is not something i want to be in, nor do i trust anyone going that fast to be in control of their vehicle and making high speed deci

Anecdotally speaking, I've driven a lot and 75-80 is ideal speed for me. When I drove in texas where in certain areas, the speed limit is 80-85, I still drove around 80. Once you hit 85/90, a car just becomes too shaky/unstab

> It's the worst kind of selective enforcement - random enforcement. Very similar to the way police behave w/ regards to speeding tickets. Set extremely low speeds that don't make sense on highways. Allow most people to go

Well I'm mostly bringing up the worst of twitch because that's what this article is focusing on. In terms of watching e-sports, that's easily comparable to watching basketball on TV. I do the same thing. What I'm bringin

I think I see what you did there, but I don't think it's an apt comparison. Watching people compete has been done for as long as civilization has been around, and there is something not only interesting but inspiring watching cert

I dig the gsap usage. I've been slowly learning it on the side myself. Do you have any good recommendations of books/websites for the library?

personally, i like nik's and jacobyyoungs the most. straightforward and to the point. merkoba makes my eyes hurt and as impressive as joelcalifa's background is, i dont like that its written as if to be read by 8 year old children

A comment here mentions that over 2000 companies joined last year. How do mentors spread their time over this impressive amount of companies? Or does that number include the ones that are simply auditing? And if you're NOT auditing, do

this sort of reminds me of RPG games. i never know what class to choose, they all seem cool in most games. so what i usually do is look at the end level content for what a class will be capable of and choose based on that, even though i nev

Exactly. My girlfriend always wonders what i actually do at work (she's a fashion designer) and she can't even comprehend what code is nor how its run. Common questions include: "So do you just sit there all day and type co

this is interesting, however i'd like to mention that the example given in the video, the concept of creating spacing on the opposite side of the field isnt a foreign one at all in soccer. generally, the ball creates gravity around it

i think OP meant more along the lines of: people like stability and ones with families can't rely on an inconsistent income that the freelance world generally provides. not actually doing the exact same thing everyday

writing style, true. but i've also read some really bland books written by great authors. to each their own i guess

that's why judging a book by one page is basically impossible and will never actually become popular aside from a fun little project

is it possible for something like this to happen: a huge shortage continues, and the demand for CS goes up, so the salaries for CS professors goes up thus making this position enticing once more?

sounds great except now that person forwarded the resume, and you still have to do the exact rounds that you would have done when cold calling unless you're applying to a small shop

Great skill, but a far better skill is knowing when to give up and move on from the problem instead of wasting days on something while other backlog work piles up.
