I believe that any knife that can be opened one handed would qualify, no? This would be a "gravity knife": https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Trekker-Pocket-Knife... For conte…

Same. This sounds drastic to people who are in the habit of Facebooking, but I still have friends and a social life and the hours of mindlessly scrolling through low-info-density p…

You think this exchange shows a recruiter conducting a psych experiment? All I see is a human keyword grep that is clearly failing to do their job: find relevant candidates and for…

Why does equality require a loss of chivalry? Equality does not mean we pretend people are completely uniform.

It's a 100 x 100 mile area. I grew up there and drove 5 miles to high school, through sprawling neighborhoods. Retrofitting a transport system to replace the need for cars is virtu…

I disagree about the lack of space. If anything, it makes more economic sense to build a wider, shorter building in the expanding suburbs and exurbs. This is why the US has so much…

I didn't even notice the text on the shirt underneath his greasy, unwashed hair.

You are missing the point of the second amendment. The second amendment isn't about making sure we get to keep firearms for the sake of having them. The purpose of the second amend…

I'm (un)fortunate enough to have taken the SAT long enough ago to have had analogies on it. I suffered through them, scoring disproportionately poorly on them as compared to my mat…

For 99% of code, worrying about the number of cycles in an operation is an utter waste of time. It just doesn't matter. Correctness and readability trump machine efficiency. Do you…

Breeder sex? Who talks like this?

What on earth does this have to do with technical talent? Projecting your political opinions a bit?

Donald Knuth too.

Your first sentence reminds me how much we are divided by a common language.

Dying impacts you for the rest of your life.

What about the statement, "I think I'll take a seat next to the beautiful lady in the room." Is it clearly not treating her the same as everyone else? Yes. But is it sexism?

That's interesting. Give some examples of Marine Corps cultural pathologies.

You're thinking about buying "big business" enterprise software like buying a cell phone or any other off-the-shelf commodity. Don't do that. It's more akin to buying a house. You'…

So, 2 hours of sleep at most?

That's stupid. It doesn't look like a gun; it is styled after a gun part. That's like saying you'd confuse a car with a tire.

I'm embarrassed that my children only have TSA flights available. This is not how Americans live.

So, you're looking for someone to build you a website for a validated business model? And to the table you bring ... 2 "meh" domain names? And for this, they can get up to 50% equi…

That looks nice.
