It really irks me when people conflate calling for someone to step down from a CEO role with "lynching", "blood", or "militant". As you know, actual LGBTQ people are actually lynch…

I don't believe money is 1:1 with value. Consider for example a "Craigslist Flipper" - someone who finds items for sale on Craigslist, buys them, and turns around and sells them fo…

This definition of value ignores ancillary departments such as marketing, office management, HR, and legal. These are sometimes known as "cost centers" in a business organization, …

Ha! That's great, thanks! I had a feeling Jacob Harris was behind that, as he was also behind @nytimes_ebooks.

@Horse_ebooks is (was?) an excellent piece of performance art. I think the modern audience still has a sense of wonderment when it comes to the computer-generated (as though it is …

The underlying theme in this post, from what I gather, is "Male programmers are often treated poorly by their peers, so female programmers should have nothing to complain about whe…

For what it's worth, Gloria Steinem did not marry until she was 66 years old.

That's a different use case. Computer owners usually use their computers every single day for multiple hours, while drill owners, unless they are professionals or hobbyists in cons…

Perhaps because ideas are a dime-a-dozen, but not every idea-haver has the time, energy, desire, or capital necessary for execution. Perhaps someone else will come along and run wi…

If technical recruiters did actually have technical experience, they could make much more money being programmers rather than working as recruiters. Therefor, there are few to no t…

Ok, sorry, I meant carbon particulate (soot), not CO2.

This article doesn't address the CFC effect relative to the effect of CO2 emissions fallout landing on the glaciers and polar ice caps, which changes the albedo of the ice, resulti…

Right, but petrol-fueled cars will still emit CO2 regardless of whether the local power plant uses clean energy or not.

The OP sounds like an angry curmudgeon. He/she can't cut someone some slack if they're running a few minutes late? I'm glad I've never had to take a meeting with this person. This …

SEEKING FREELANCER My current client is looking for Unity developer with at least one published title. Remote is fine. This client is in NYC. Email me and I'll connect you.

It seems to me that health insurers are already aligned with the goal of keeping patients from receiving care for acute conditions, so perhaps some of them, being private companies…

I find it amazing that somebody actually knew OP's code well enough to recognize it in the trailer. Or maybe someone searched github for the strings they saw instead? Either way, p…

The article title is inaccurate - "Matt" did know he was gay, he just wasn't out yet. Facebook's ad platform didn't figure it out before he did. Just as in the Target story, the yo…

I'm not a web developer, so maybe I just don't understand, but why is it so important to the author that there be wide adoption of Cappuccino? Why does it matter to him that the ma…

Why are you anonymously using Pastebin? I'd prefer if you posted it on your own blog with your own name.

I think that comment should actually be printed on the backs of the shirts.

See, dotfiles like yours are why there's not more women in technology. As a feminist, I demand that your dotfiles be made inclusive by also accepting input from boobs. Also, who us…

"I hope that skill will always be held in higher esteem than your gender - if you had no skill, you would not be part of the discussion, and your gender is simply a modifier." This…

I helped the author edit this post for clarity, but it took all I had not to argue with him because I strongly disagree with his thesis. My main language (Objective-C) is relativel…
