That is literally what it says, however, most here seem to be questioning the subtext and authenticity. I have trouble interpreting this as an apologetic introspective look at the evolution of privacy and more as a self serving rant. Theils

Anecdotally, I have been using the pi and arduino to learn. They have the basics for small projects and easy interfaces for getting started. The communities are large and it makes it very easy to find beginner and intermediate projects. I l

Take a vacation; you are burning out. If you can take a >1 week you can program for fun after 5-7 days and get a sense for what interests you without work interfering. If you can only take a shorter vacation have fun and do something out

While I hate comcast, they are pretty smart. They essentially ran a kickstarter campaign with American taxpayer money to build out infrastructure, much of which they renegged on and only built out in expensive areas. They then charge the ta

I find it worse. Github provides a great service and certainly has provided an incalculable value to os, but at a project level, it doesnt provide nearly enough value to dictate word choice, etiquette or style. Yes, the service is free, but

I understand this more than most. The solution that fits best with my experience and ideology is probably a combination of a few things. Just to caveat, this is a thought experiment and while a lot has been done, there is so much friction i

That doesn't make any sense. Having seen a fair amount of shit, I go back and forth. Should heroin be legal? It would certainly lower the price, but it would definitely create more addicts. This isn't a headache, that is theft. Cl

Before the for loop starts printing out the same beleagured points about Holmes, I think it is important to recognize how many people work hard at Theranos. The medical indistry has been dodgy as fuck (no excuse) but also technically illite

I said this elsewhere but vscode's strategy won me over atom's. Vscode was faster and more stable with much less features which they gradually added over time. Atom had all the features, more lag, and has been trying to polish the

I don't want to criticise it too much as it is completely free, so I will simply say that it would be hard to convince me to try it for a third time. Microsoft VSCode is my editor, and it took me a long time to adopt it. They lacked a

Interesting. Clearly there were hardships involved and getting an MD is a non-trivial financial and time commitment. However, at least in popular culture, an MD is a highly respected career path and often the joked about target for 'go

I agree. I will say that a case could be made in a different set of circumstances where some action caused a plaintiff to not only lose money, but also a steep opportunity cost which had to be forgone. Not the case here at all. Especially

> setting up a hidden camera in a girl's high school locker room wouldn't just be "in poor taste". This statement is irrefutably true. However, the rest of your comment is either inaccurate factually or incorrect opin

This happened to me and you can see the community response in my submission history. First, this totally fucking sucks and I am sorry this happened. The short term technical fix is pretty trivial, but there are some important gotchas: * dep

I really like using rethinkdb. Currently, I am using thinky for node as an orm which works quite well for my purposes. If anyone else works with nodeJS I would be interested to know: * how you use rethinkdb * what you don't use it fo

I can't find the source so this is from memory; but Karp or Theil said they wouldn't ever go public and essentially can't because they are essentially a DoD contractor. While other companies notably do similar things and othe

Hiring is a complex process that is extremely subjective accross role, organization and sub-sector of the tech industry. To the extent this result is correct within the population of interviewing.io ; it is in fact quite positive on many l

Thanks. I consider myself a capitalist. I have heard SA say[0]; and find myself to agree with how I perceived those remarks, that capitalism is the best paradigm we have to structure the world out of the current choices of organization. Tha

I find it unreasonable people seem to think this is so obviously wrong. I happen to disagree with you, but others seem to pretend this is obviously black and white, it isn't. Creativity itself is a subjective measuring stick. In your

but where did the money come from? The EU doesn't just randomly dole out capital, right? The UK must pay into some sort of central fund? I have heard they pay as much as 3%(of GDP, taxes I am not sure) but the money must come from some

Are you joking? Or are you contending that this satisfies a reasonable and thought out explanation of why Britain's referendum will have negative results: > It's like Britain just drank some poison, then went into a shop and sa

This is case and point what I indicated above. Bizarre assertions and analogies that don't even attempt to explain why it is bad. I am having trouble finding out legitimate answers to why this is actually heralded as a catastrophicly b

Every single article I have read had indicated this is terrible. I have seen a lot of people who would I guess be classified in America as progressive liberals, e.g. the types who speak of privelege and safe-spaces, decrying how the country
