Shrek is an old meme and onions are stinky. Do you think that's a recipe for this to catch on by the next generation? It's a miracle .com worked at all, and I wouldn't hold my breath for a second miracle.

If someone said "Just because an apple is red, that doesn't mean it's a red delicious.", why would you reply "I'd say that's untrue if the apple is a red delicious." I'm not sure what this is cal

I wonder how much of this is perception vs. reality. Many women trip over themselves around me, but I'm monogamous and have only chosen to be in a couple of relationships because finding a match is really hard. Just because someone get

This seems like a weirdly elitist/limiting way of looking at things. If you're slightly better off today than you were yesterday, then you're advancing toward your goal. The progress compounds all the time. There is no "

Rent prices are dropping because more people are becoming homeless or dying. Not good.

Sorry to hear about your experiences. It sounds frustrating. I think there's some miscommunication happening here. The line you quoted is specifically regarding the person conducting the interview looking for signals to provide feedbac

This might be what you'd think intuitively. I've conducted ~500 technical interviews, and in my experience candidates who are obvious DNP (do not pursue) often times really do not want your feedback or do not care about it, either

I'm not sure what retardation has anything to do with this. If you mean you might be extra ignorant, that's something else. Consider speaking more clearly and abandoning the awkward slang. There's a common trend of mixing up

Either the problem is with the analogy and you're taking it too literally, or your reasoning is severely distorted and leads into very dark, hellish places. People can decide not to wear hoodies anymore. Chinese people cannot choose to

It adds no information or value to the discussion by giving the hackers a nationality. If there was a statistic that the majority of hackers wore hoodies, would we be calling that out and saying "Attacked by hackers in hoodies?" O

I'm not sure how you can bear looking back at things you said 20 years ago, let alone enjoy it. My past self makes me shutter and cringe

My clipboard frequently holds sensitive or even compromising information. If it isn't providing direct access to my finances, it might be something that could be used to blackmail me. No, these random apps are not my spouse. They shoul

This thread has made me feel a bit better about my situation. I'm a 25-year-old who may end up having to move back in with family if I can't find new work by the end of August. So far June has been pretty fruitless. Optimistic abo

TransferWise has been a game changer for me in paying overseas contractors. It's such an excellent product and my limited experience of it has left me a very happy customer.

I'm not much of a movie watcher but this one is an outstanding one! Highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't already seen it.

The idealism you're expressing here is definitely worth aiming for. I'm unconvinced that basic human psychology as it has evolved is currently capable of such a thing. A close friend of yours points to someone you don't know

I think I used to feel the same way, but over time came to understand that a problem which arises is missing context and drawing conclusions from incomplete information. If you're sharing a sensitive piece of information about yourself

I would also consider myself to be a power user. However, one huge annoying problem I've encountered is sharing homebrew between multiple users. It seems like it's not possible for homebrew and all of it's libraries/bina

I think there's an assumption being made here about how snobbish or desperate artists are. Many artists and celebrities actually get a great deal of joy and fulfillment out of making individual people feel special through a personalize

Our senses are finite; we cannot directly know infinity through them. Because of that, I think the burden of proof is on the claim that it is infinite.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "actual universe" but there's no proof that space is infinite. Unfathomably vast yes, but still finite.

Its just a helper function to create an element, assign it some properties, and append children elements. Not very much unlike React in the API (emphasis on "interface") but of course the inner workings is as minimal as possible.

Prayer and meditation are completely different. There are studies which demonstrate a causal connection between meditation and mental health benefits, and even structural changes in the brain. It demonstrably helps with anxiety and depressi

Great point! That's a much more accurate example, thank you

I'm interested to know if you can cite specific evidence for that? I've heard that some certain yoga practices (i.e. traditional yoga. Not the westernized kind where you do stretches and talk about positive energy) can be harmful
