Who's their compliance officer and what are their qualifications? Without that kind of disclosure, they have forced me to conclude that they are full of shit. Without basic informa…

It's probably some combination of people downloading the app and signing up for the free service. It is most likely not a reflection of how people use the app on a regular basis or…

The thing that immediately jumps to mind after reading this article is my grandfather's stories about the old mining towns. These were places where the local employer (the mining c…

I would expect "entrepreneurial solutions to government" to be at best neutral on human rights. Protecting human rights requires a great deal of political will to codify and then e…

I can honestly say I learned far more about critical thinking in a single Intro to Philosophy class than all of my CS coursework combined.

Learning how to code has about as much real-world utility as learning how to rebuild an engine block. It's necessary to know if you're in the industry. It's interesting information…

It wasn't a typo. It was just a garden-variety spelling error. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll try to remember the correct spelling in the future. I guess I hold myself to a highe…

AKA: Laziness. (Edited to fix spelling pointed out by child comment. Thanks.) I don't require perfection, just competence. If you don't care enough about your output to make it eas…

Probably the same reason they don't recognize plagiarism when it jumps up and bites them on the ass. I prescribe a copy of Strunk and White with a healthy dose of proofreading.

I must be reading this differently than a lot of people. I don't think he's talking about actual business people. People with demonstrated experience, skill, and/or ability. It sou…

It's all on him. He could have avoided the whole thing if he just had the foresight to keep a few hundred bucks in his account as a reserve against charge-backs. It looks like Squa…

Except it's not a very good idea. It's actually a very poor business practice. Dude's got no one else but himself to blame. If he's taking credit card transactions, he should be ho…

Safety-critical software is any software where failure can result in death/severe injury to a person or loss/severe damage to equipment/property. There are concrete answers to the …

Being non-deterministic is a non-starter for safety or mission critical systems. One of the foundational concepts of safety-critical design is strict scheduling of resources. The s…

Agreed. My experience is that there is way too much emphasis on languages, libraries, and frameworks. Nobody really talks about the methodologies of building software. For any give…

Software for banking and insurance is like this. The product has to accommodate different rules for all 50 states and federal oversight. Changes to just about anything need to be c…

Serious question. What exactly is he right about?

I'm sure all of your coworkers are very thankful to have a super-hero like you around to protect them from all the mortal dangers that pop up in the office on a daily basis. If I h…

- Why do women wear low-cut dresses if not to attract male attention (in the majority of cases)? It's none of your concern why a woman dresses the way she does. As long as she isn'…

I imagine "Don't make women feel unwelcome." would go a long way towards reducing the need for "Make women feel welcome."

Do you think that the overtly sexist nature of these little frat-parties come hack-a-thons might have any bearing on the lack of women in the tech industry? Last I checked, women g…

I wouldn't go so far as to say it was a "well" planned document. If it's a joke, where's the punchline? Were they not going to have women servers? Were the massage people going to …

It's not even a prank. It's a couple of half-educated, drunken frat-boys who wanted to throw a frat party disguised as a hack-a-thon. For it to be a prank, there would have to be a…

You are correct. Most men like women. However, there is a time and place for men to express their admiration for women. An event like this (as represented to prospective sponsors) …
