Tenured professors who expect to be taken by the hand and told what to do? Bizarre. As a PhD student, I was told to go think of a dissertation-worthy project and come back with a draft...
Game authors are welcome to do as they please, of course. But as someone who both likes video games and is quite bad at them, I've pretty much stopped buying them. Oh well...
Cyclists' reputation is well-deserved.
Sorry you're having a bad time. I'm old, but can still relate. On the codebase, yes, most are horrible, unfortunately. Try to think of it as your opportunity. If you can learn to comprehend and fix code like this,…
I don't think someone that vicious has anything to tell us about the Internet. "I'm not embarrassed by any of those tweets."
1. Indeed, I'm only talking about is, not ought. Please do complain. Leave Trump out, though. Nothing he can do about it, and if he seriously tried, he'd wake up with a horse's head in his bed. 2. If you truly believe…
Let's just say I have a lot or respect for the possibilities I'm aware of, together with a general sense that there's a lot that I don't know. In any case, just because you usually get your laptop handed right back, it…
Key takeaway: Over the last five years, hiring of white males for tech roles has declined from 47.5% to 33.3% (of total tech hires). Somewhat surprisingly, hiring of white females and all non-Asian minorities has barely…
He's saying he was targeted because he's known to disapprove of the Trump administration? Please. If anything, it was considerably worse prior to 2016. A better question would be why someone technically knowledgeable…
It's arguably unethical. It's also arguably unethical for you not to host a number of poor people in your house or apartment. And more fundamentally, it's arguably unethical for your not to spend most of your money…
It's quite obvious that that's what they're referring to. Article titles necessarily require brevity. Anyway, flagged in 5, 4, 3, 2, ...
Is there any reason to think desirable men have a differing distribution of libidos (vs the not desirable men)? A simpler explanation would be that they have more sex because they have more opportunity, no?
It would be nice if we could all start laughing about this stuff again.
> if men and women want sex roughly as many times, or if women want more, In my experience, this is counterfactual. Also, I have a hottie buddie who has a lot of sex with a lot of women. Suspect he can easily keep ten…
If it was an April 1 gag, they'd have included weight verification...
Perhaps a worthy cause, but that website is first-degree eye slaughter.
See sibling replies, if you like.
In my experience, there's no correlation between someone's kindness and their politics. People are individuals--watch what each individual does.
It's a lot easier to criticize others than to create something yourself.
The censors are ultimately scrubbing history clean. If we can't know the history, how are we supposed to learn from it?
This is awful. But in the end, it takes two, and you can only control your side of the conversation. I had a similar experience in my last divorce, doing every possible thing to make the negotiations…
I don't think that small minority is as small as you might think. Life is full of uninsurable disasters. The "good" news is that there are only a few years of retirement you really want to hang around for anyway (as…
It's sad, but I've simply accepted that this will be the future. Anyone who has unorthodox opinions on controversial opinions will get this treatment, and we'll slowly rip our society apart. Hopefully the next one will…
I was told that I was rejected at final executive review, supposedly due to a general property of my resume that many might hear as a euphemism for "too old". Particularly annoying, since that property was in plain view…
Both I and my wife are second generation immigrants. I have no issues with immigrants at all, and I've worked my entire career besides H-1Bs and other PRs. If you had asked me five years ago, I'd have expressed a…
