Asshole entrepreneurs are one of the other factors I was talking about. They tend to make it very hard for young people to enter the job market (the famous 5+ years of experience r…

You know, I don't feel as comfortable discarding the "too many young people with degrees" argument, because it's still a lot more people with a degree than there were in the past. …

Amen to that. Employees are awfully expensive, and while we wait for the government to do something, business owners keep relocating manufacturing to places where labor is cheaper,…

Then again, while I agree with the value of studying for a degree, young people see the vast majority of their slightly older peers with a degree in their hands who can't get a job…

Aw gee, that makes sense, yes. Never worked for a company big enough to need this. Also, I'm in Italy, so some things might work differently here.

Not the user you replied to but, according to my experience, Code Complete is useful in that, as many other well-written books, it gives advice that comes from common sense and giv…

Not having much experience on this subject, I have to ask: would you not get your developers to verify that the vulnerability is there and fix it while the legal department is doin…

You know, we're probably doing it wrong. The Internet allows you to obtain many, many of the day-to-day answers in the blink of an eye. One would think that this is great, because …

> I'd ask them how married they were to CS and if moving off of it was doable. See, that's something I would never do. I dislike your tech stack, and if I can I will stay away from…

Fair enough. If I can choose between a shop that uses A vs B, where A is something I like and B is yet another link in the toolchain that gives me more trouble that it solves, I wi…

And I totally believe that. I hated CoffeeScript with a passion since the moment I first laid my eyes on it. To give an idea of how much I dislike it, I would prefer to write plain…

This has nothing to do with FUD, sorry. It's only one of the factors that discourages me from visiting, and if now it has become a problem, it means that this presidency somehow ma…

Frankly, I find the thought of having to give my passwords away to be baffling to say the least. No chance I will ever visit the US under these conditions, because I tend to dislik…

This only reinforces my intention to postpone my first visit to the US until after this presidency and its associated madness have ended. EDIT: at least until after this presidency…

> I can't imagine partnering with a traditional automaker will increase the pace. Right? I was thinking exactly the same. One would think that having a car built in-house enabled t…

I thought about it so many times I lost count. My dream is writing for a living, and I'm currently writing the first draft of a novel. I'm about 1/5 of the way there, began a coupl…

Here, I took a couple of screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/urg8s

Chrome Version 56.0.2906.0 dev (64-bit) on Windows 10.

And the pattern continues. C, G, D and A major are the easiest to play in because their key signature has respectively 0, 1, 2 and 3 sharps. Further, C# and F major are probably ri…

Those two "Sign up" buttons hide the last line of both paragraphs for me. Also, the three buttons at the top ("login with") look a bit funky.

As I often tell people when talking about mobile devices: we're not there yet . Not from a hardware point of view, not from a software one. We're not even close. Smartphones still …

Things like this are why I got into the habit of checking Facebook's settings every once in a while. Not that it would help much in this case, but hey. They seem to have a knack fo…

Yeah, well... you know, it's a vice.com article we're talking about here.

Happy to hear about IronPython trying to get up to speed, I'm using it a lot and it's pretty awesome. I haven't had the chance to play with Roslyn yet, though. Seems promising.

I hate it with a passion. I use Dapper whenever I can and couldn't be happier about it.
