There are certainly subcultures of society that demonize men for having emotions. There are also subcultures of society that do not. Do you really think it's our wider culture to demonize emotion in men? My particular subset of subcult

Should Twitter ban such comments? Reasonable people could go either way. But for the specific individual making such comments the resoundingly correct answer is they should be ashamed of themselves. And for that specific individual the free

I don't think FB/Meta was really too worried about Twitter. It was never anywhere close to catching up to FB's numbers.

It's true that you won't be able to "get a job in 40 days". But it's also true that you can succeed as a self-taught developer. I did it. The caveat is that it took me Years not Days to get my first job.

No bootcamp, No degree or indeed any college courses on software engineering, and I made it. Yes we exist and yes it's possible to succeed as self-taught. It is however way more difficult to get into industry than this way.

I mean, I don't think it's a legacy language at all. But I do think it's a minefield of annoying problems with no two codebases speaking the same subeset of C++ evolved to work around those annoying problems. All told I would

Sure, If you feel the need to deplatform me go for it. I am not particularly invested in any particular online platform or community and regard them almost entirely as not worth the effort to maintain. If I kicked off one who cares.

I don't do my all of my notes in a single document. I create new documents that are specific to whatever I'm taking notes on. That plus the new tagging capabilities make it pretty easy to find whatever I'm looking for.

My review is complete opposite of yours. I also prefer the notepad style of note taking but the remarkable means that my notes are available on my phone or computer whenever I need it. It is the first note taking tablet I've used that

Nope, Because there are very good reasons for some services/applications to be shut down. Making it impossible to shut them down attracts a vary particular clientele that I personally don't want to be associated with.

Truly unreasonable people often only look unreasonable right up until the threat of actually losing one of their most valuable employees looks credible. Then they change their tune pretty quickly. Either way if you are negotiating with the

As someone who has managed a team of SREs that kind of behavior would land someone on a PIP if done repeatedly. Sounds like you had a run of bad luck in teams.

For me and the vast majority of people that is a complete non-starter. And the primary value of a currenyc is that it gives you liquidity to participate in the economy. Until crypto can claim the same thing it only barely qualifies as a c
