"Reactionary" doesn't mean literally "reacting to a problem", it's a political term that comes from the French revolution, referring to monarchists who became organized and motivated as a reaction against the French…
Are you sure this description of an American tourist didn't come from a 1990s newspaper cartoon? Fanny pack? Really?
Interesting to see all the pro-100%-remote comments here. I worked for a company for about two years. One year in, they decided to go fully remote. The goal was to save money (the business was bootstrapped at the time)…
Those "hipster bubbles" are the areas where most tech innovation is happening. Nobody is saying that insurance companies aren't using .NET.
There are many confounding variables here that make it difficult to draw a convincing conclusion. The ethnic disparity can partially be explained by the fact that white men have higher handgun ownership rates than other…
Yes, seriously.
For students and researchers. If you're operating a business you still have to pay for VS licenses, or violate the free license and hope you get big enough fast enough that it's not a problem.
People have rightly mentioned the cost and vendor lock-in issues. The other problem is that - for whatever reason - good engineers simply want nothing to do with the Microsoft ecosystem. In this market, they have other…
Every .NET developer I've worked with had to be painfully dragged out of the Microsoft world into the real one. It's just not worth the effort to hire people who solve problems by asking Microsoft to sell them the…
Obviously it would be nice if a crack team of scientists and engineers ordered some pizzas and had a marathon science session that comes up with something that solves all our problems and lets us continue burning fossil…
I'm surprised this seems to work so well for you. I've had colleagues do similar things and it pretty much always resulted in them being "managed out", outright fired, or mysteriously lumped into a round of layoffs that…
You're being downvoted because your portfolio's performance is almost certainly a matter of luck and a bull market, not your clever investment research. Not even Berkshire Hathaway makes consistent 30% annual returns,…
Good point, I assumed this is in the US.
That's not really how contracts work. A contract is only "void" if it contains something fundamentally illegal, or if someone was forced to sign it. And that would be determined in court, not automatically. The guy who…
Do you mean intellectual property? It would be defined in the contract, but usually the contractors never own the copyright to code written for other people. Anyway, I agree with the other comments that this is…
Cats actually have 9 lives, at least according to current research.
He evicted us because he could rent it out for more money. Something about your comment makes me think there's more to this story.
FYI this is a far-right conspiracy theory, typically found among white supremacists. there is no evidence that a secret cabal is planning some kind of new world order or plotting to burn all the history books.
What a weird thing to say about Massachusetts. It has a constitution and an elected legislature, so it's definitely not an "authoritarian state". It has one of the lowest rates of police violence in the country, so I…
Most of them are actually Republican-controlled state legislatures, or were Republican-controlled when the measure passed, even if they frequently vote blue in presidential elections.
It is pretty weird. I don't think there's a simple, empirical answer available. But if you would like to read more about incredible mathematical intuition and elegance, give the book Love and Math a read.
Can you elaborate?
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "socially liberal"? Which language communities are on the other side of the spectrum?
The survey provides specific numbers on this, no need for the pinch of salt: 41% of respondents have fewer than 5 years of professional experience, and 68% have fewer than 10. A better question is whether or not this…
