I like using codewars.com for learning new languages. Just pick a language and start running through problems. I think the best part about it is that you can review other solutions after you solve the problem. Usually…
Very snarky response. I think the poster you replied to was trying to point out that the reason this happens is because the government prints money and if they don't take the money out of circulation via taxes then…
None of the things in this article are specific to programming, they are all just the potential downsides of being an employee. In some situations you are an inferior, replaceable tool that is a burden on the company,…
Probably not, I think there is utility in relating two similar things, especially when someone is likely to be more familiar with one over the other. Someone who knows networks really well could find it useful to model…
Many of the replies in this thread talk about empathy, and I get where they are coming from. The problem is, if your priority when hiring was empathy you would just offer the job to everyone you interview. It's true,…
Maybe it is normal in your country, but where I am from in the US, parents want their kids to be self-sufficient as soon as possible. The author herself said it was embarrassing. I'm not sure what the economic situation…
Yeah I was waiting for the point in this article where it became about "outdoorsy types" and not the author but it never happened. I'd be embarrassed too, mismanaging money and relying on my parents support at 34 years…
>We do like drinking and eating together though, so we got that! Regardless of the details of your argument, or whether my paraphrase of your original comment was accurate, it is an infeasible solution to suggest that…
>the secular regular get-together groups for people without any unifying interests or socioeconomic status Unfortunately, I don't think what you are describing ever existed. Every "get-together-group" I can think of has…
Everyone is attacking the overall theme of this article, and I agree with many of the points made, but nobody seems to be focused on the actual solutions provided in the article which I think are good. The article isn't…
I don't think the point of lowercased's comment was that devs don't underestimate tasks to the same degree that "outside-of-technical-people" might. They are saying that "outside-of-technical-people" don't have the…
Just because there isn't a top-down solution that eradicates the source of the issue doesn't mean it shouldn't be observed and discussed. You pointed out that you can't "beef" with the gravitational constant, but if you…
Ahh yes, arguing about semantics.
It's up to the reader to decide what is worthwhile for them. Also, whether that quote is relevant or not is not what is being argued. The original dispute (on a surface level) was about a "rhetorical technique". Now you…
Given the degree of your outrage, I think something other than "rhetorical technique" has triggered you here. Then again, maybe you are just really really opinionated about "rhetorical techniques" and following strict…
I had the exact same thought. I skimmed through the rest of the article. The author's frustrations seem to center around the fact that she is a diversity hire, which is made even more evident by the discussion in the…
The part about "doing everything" for someone hit home at first, but it took a turn when you mentioned leaving that position. Sometimes I've had managers come in and just take over a project because a client/investor…
The idea of "women have it tougher than men" is naive and toxic. You can try to justify it by saying that your ideas are "based on lots of reading of stuff", but it's obvious you are only interested in how this topic…
>having kids and the threat of potentially having kids undermines female income on a regular basis The only reason you see it this way is because of your previous point regarding women and children being a "package…
>You might have missed it I did miss that. Would love a citation. >You are disingenuous It doesn't make sense to say that I might have missed something then accuse me of being disingenuous. If what Apple is doing is…
>You're uncharitably assuming this Why should I be charitable towards apple? >Apple's custom silicon Sounds like more marketing for Apple.
I'm sorry but when the solution to your research paper is consumer technology sold by the company you work for, you are just advertising not innovating. Nothing about the apple watch itself is particularly useful for…
>While Wells, Huxley and Orwell invented flawed worlds, the Soviet writer was living in one. Forgive me if I am reading too much into this, but the tagline for this article feels weird to me. It feels weird because it…
>Absent tooling to detect dead ode I'm not sure if this is a pun that is over my head or a typo. Thanks for the article. I think the most difficult issue to solve is the meetings one, especially now that so much work is…
