I was in this position recently. It's pure hell. I moved teams internally. Now I'm happy. It feels like an abusive relationship, you don't realise how bad it was until you leave.

Good grief! I'm in the UK, I haven't come across this sort of thinking before but "working in IT" isn't high status I guess.

So no changes have been made apart from being in black and white? I tried watching it a few months ago. It was awful (imo), I turned it off half way through.

This looks great. Thanks

How on earth can someone be offended by their son in laws good salary!?

Just got a new Samsung sound bar. Can anyone explain why when I connect via Bluetooth (or maybe it was their smart things app) it wants access to my phone contacts and messages!?

Ha! I'm still playing wipeout (on retro arch though). I only bought a PS1 around 2010 as I'd been an N64 fanboy. I really had missed out. I heard the Saturn was originally designed…

To (probabl mis) quote the Economist magazine, when adjusted for other variables the gender pay gap disappears.

I'm not sure I agree with this type of legislation. Most of us have experienced that developer value add varies hugely. I think what bothers me most is that it seems to be a push f…

That's interesting. Would it have been better if sega had wait until post PS2? The Dreamcast was the last console I loved. I bought one on launch day. But I think looking back it w…

There was a post on hacker news a while back about a study in Finland showing that it doesn't matter if the new builds are "luxury", they increase so supply which will always event…

It claims salaries have increased only 35 percent. This seems incorrect to me. For example starting salaries for new developers where I would is roughly 30k (British pound) this is…

Actually the old town was built long before the planning office existed.

I'm repeating myself but European cities like Edinburgh are really great in part due to the mix or apartments with pubs and shops near by or directly under flats. Obviously there's…

It's what is great about old cities like Edinburgh in Scotland, apartments with shops and pubs below or near by.

So an authority that decides quotas on where types of worker live?

What does build in a equitable way mean?

So should we do the same with food too?

I use gog.com instead of steam where I can. They provide DRM free installers for all their games (this may have changed more recently not sure). Anyway gog is really great :)

That whole article could have have been two sentences. Also the problem with it is obvious: not all users have a email client configured. Back in 98 I used to get confused when I c…

I'd stop overthinking this, some of the answers you are getting here are ridiculous. Show it to your manager. Your job is to add value, that's it. You can add value by automating t…

I'm 40. I'm not sure if I have to try harder to learn. I was never bright in the first place. I'm way more motivated to learn now. I only really watch Netflix etc on Friday and Sat…

Fair points. Didn't know about the gov land sales. Honestly I presumed I was going to hear "rent controls!"
