ADA rules also add a lot of expense that is important, I believe, but certainly limits the amount of 'uniqueness' that is possible when building new structures.
In the anonymity of the internet I am not going to pretend that I've never wondered about relationships with people who are unavailable, or despite my own unavailability. It is certainly possible to find people…
'Happiness' studies show up now and again and I've got to say that I've always found them suspect. The polling, the questions, the conclusions are so fungible that I find it hard to believe that there's any value in…
Kind of a strange article with the implication that we've got a wide selection of people willing to marry us and the challenge is to choose the best one. I really only ever found one person I wanted to marry and I…
Plenty of places have more than two engineers and still paid ransomware. This is like any other cyber-crime, which is to say it happens all over, it's not always publicized, and it's very hard to stop. I watched a…
I'm guessing that our hypothetical student must or might take a college-level Biology course as part of their undergrad degree, and that exposure might cause them to change their mind about their chosen field. I also…
I think it's still going to be hard to get 'middle class' parents to embrace this for their kids - and I am a 'middle class' parent. If my kid wants to become an electrician I'd probably say "Why not major in EE?". A…
College vs. trade school isn't just about money or 'social acceptability', it's also about opportunity. A 18 year old who goes to trade school to become an electrician is going to become an electrician, they are not…
That's an easy allegation to throw out. Someone can advocate for a social safety net and still have bills due next month.
Keeping kids out of school _is_ a decision, and not an easy one when having kids at home means the parents can't work.
Just wait a bit and someone is sure to say "It's not bigotry to believe that women and black people are less qualified for tech jobs".
> a well-functioning court and jury should easily be able answer these questions, I'm going to ignore the qualifier of 'well functioning' which obviously up for debate. The process of being charged with a crime, being…
Have you ever worked at a company where they bring in a brand-new CTO or Lead Architect and they decide after a week or so that the entire dev org has been Doing it Wrong and it's only them, with their clear outsider's…
I'm accepting it, make of that what you will. About the only thing I can give up to help this situation is my job. I'm not yet willing to make that trade.
Our schools are going virtual when they reopen but there are plenty of parents who object. Several reasons come up - Virtual learning did not work at the end of last year, and most parents think it's unlikely to work…
Maybe I should! I sometimes feel like sending one to Bjarne Stroustrup too, because C++ is still an incredible language. I see Rob and Ken talking about how they hate C++ and I worry about poor Bjarne's feelings.
I'm afraid you've describe my friend to a T. Ah well, it takes all types. If we couldn't work with some strange personalities, we wouldn't make it far in this business.
The more I program in Go, the more retroactively irritated I get at C++. A buddy of mine did a few 'brown bag' sessions on advanced C++ templating and my jaw just dropped further and further at each one. Who has the…
I just faced this - I was trying to write a somewhat complex MongoDB query and I decided it was finally time to read a book rather than just cutting-and-pasting from stack overflow until I stumbled across something that…
Don't misunderstand me, the parents did nothing wrong. Their problem was their mental model where their child's success was entirely due to their child's talents and drive, and that since they ( the parents ) had not…
Whose isn't?
Point being - there are a lot of factors outside of one's control that affects one risk adversity * having a place to live if you go broke * a place within some manageable travel distance ( i.e. same…
There are parents with ample incomes and large comfortable homes that will welcome their child with open arms, proud of them for risking everything on a start up and encouraging them to try again. There are parents with…
A room and a meal, possibly not. A room and a meal indefinitely with absolutely no pressure to leave or contribute? With the freedom to find the next job or opportunity that fits, not just desperately throw out their…
<shrug> I have a supportive, middle class family and if I went broke I'd be sleeping on an air mattress in front of the TV and trying to figure out how soon I could start contributing to the monthly expenses. It enough…
