While I can name several modern classical composers whom I interested in* I think your point still stands and most people wouldn't be able to name an active composer after Beethove…

But there are. That is to say, if you mean exceptionally talented composers of classical music. See Gyorgy Ligeti, Arvo Part, John Adams, George Crumb. Phillip Glass, and Nico Muhl…

It doesn't make it true either, and nothing that the original poster said suggested that it might be the case. Heck, we don't even know the gender of the original poster.

Good luck with that. For what its worth, in my experience, I've found .NET development to be less painful when not using Entity Framework.

Fair enough. I think that's where we differ - I feel the word isn't quite as ill defined as you suggest, though it is commonly misused. A conversation for another time :)

Thanks. I'm well aware of what a hipster is and how the term is used in the context of modern slang, this doesn't really help answer my original question, however.

What exactly about this makes it a 'hipster' domain finder? edit: Obtuse question I guess. What makes it a hipster domain finder is the fact the author called it one. Please, carry…

I never really got this line of thought. While creating life in a laboratory and creating life through sexually reproduction between a man and woman (or however it is other organis…

No worries. Sorry we don't have the opportunity to have a more in-depth conversation about it.

I think you're very sadly mistaken - white people can be victims of racism, too, you dig? I grew up and went through a school system where white people were by far the minority, an…

Ah, an important distinction, my mistake.

Certainly there is more than a small difference between it being rational for you to ignore a company and to call the company itself dormant and stale.

I'm just curious - do you mind elaborating on your thought that Microsoft has been stale and dormant? This just seems so far from reality, so I'm wondering what about them gives yo…

Sure, and people who are victims of dishonest police can have evidence to support their claims. Everyone wins.

I think the major difference, which I mention in my edit, is the risks that we're suggesting are dangerous to a programmer aren't a direct result of the occupation. In the general …

I don't have any of that data either, but to suggest that the life as a programmer working from home is as dangerous as the life of a career coal miner seems a bit absurd to me. ed…

The text in the article certainly expresses they felt Twitter took a long time.

I may have read these posts incorrectly, but I don't think anyone made the claim that he won this money. There was simply a poster who stated that 400,000 is comparable to an amoun…

I would disagree. There's a distinct difference between food stamps->gigantic acquisition and food stamps->comfortable life as software developer at giant corporation->gigantic acq…

He's suggesting that this headline ignores the period after the time when his family was on food stamps. The period where he had the financial means to live a fairly 'comfortable' …

Word. I was looking at the numbers for MegaMillions - seems like one of the payouts is 1 million dollars - which I think can easily turn into 400k if you took a lump sum. There are…
