I see it more as being about acceptance. If your wife dies, at some point, you will have to accept that your wife died and move on. This doesn't mean that you are cold or insensiti…

I like to think of it as that; you should have principles, such as trying to write DRY code, but any principle taken too far will end up being a bad thing. Don't be an extremist. P…

I think it's such a huge topic that it's really hard to summarize on an online message board, but in very broad terms I think you could say that the feeling I have is that there us…

I think men are checking out of relationships because they feel they do not benefit them anymore. Not out of malice or even spitefulness (although there is some of that among some …

I feel like the term "alpha" is deeply problematic since different people use it to mean completely different things. Many people associate it with the toxic traits of dominating o…

Depends on how you look at games as a form of entertainment. If you see them as long term investments that you intend to give hundreds or thousands of hours of your time, then yes …

I don't know much about codecs, but why isn't the music separated its own audio track so one can turn it on/off themselves in the browser? I'm guessing the current codecs being use…

As a developer who works a lot with frontend, this kind of feedback is gold! I wish I could get testing/usability reports like this.

Morbid can be good. I feel like more parents need to remind their kids of death now and then. I know that sounds crazy, but I really think that a healthy knowledge and acceptance o…

As tragic as this is. I think they should plant a new tree in the same location. I know it won't be the same, it won't heal the wound, at least not for hundreds of years, if ever. …

Plus all news are biased one way or another nowadays. It doesn't matter if you're left or right, the news you're getting is spun in a certain way to push whatever narrative your pa…

Completely agree, it has always bothered me as well. To me it (strongly) implies rushing, and I don't believe that constantly keeping your team in a stressful state where you are a…

For me, things like coding is only interesting in the context of being useful as a tool to do cool stuff. I understand that some people like coding in itself, for the intellectual …

I largely agree, but the one thing I have been wanting to do sometimes is too be able to put marks/indicators on the scrollbar of where important pieces of information is in the fl…

The author claims that people's offering of help is not true help since it's for selfish reasons. I would like to argue that this is natural and necessary to some extent. People ar…

I think they could be, if they lead to subscriptions and long-term success for his channel. Not saying it was in any way ethically justifiable, just that from a purely machiavellia…

I find it fascinating how the higher-cost and therefore counter-intuitive alternative, can sometimes be the better choice, due to long-term secondary effects that doesn't show up o…

I had no idea about this either. For me this screams of a dystopian future civilization (which is apparently now) where even access to the outdoors has been limited due to overpopu…

This sort of thinking about something being 'always bad' or 'always good' is in itself always bad. Not sure if that is a paradox or not, be that as it may, in my experience it is t…

For me, the lack of editing, scripting and structure is exactly what I find refreshing about podcasts. They feel more natural, more flawed, more raw, but therefore also more honest…

What if this was about black people right to sit at the front of the bus? Would you still say: "Why do you want to share your opinions on controversial topics? What do you get out …

I think one big factor in this is that as a developer, you don't (normally) have slow periods. A lot of other occupations will have their stressful high-tempo periods, but then the…

Honestly, if it were up to me, my solution to this would be to not solve it all. There's only a finite amount of time and energy available in any organization and you have to make …

Yes, I've been thinking a lot about this as well. I believe people deserve second chances, the opportunity to earn a form of redemption, to let the past stay in the past and be abl…

Is anybody surprised by this? Manipulative people will always use whatever is the popular/dominant ideology of their time and location to get any sort of benefit they can. It might…
