w.cd had the best recommendation system for music and audio equipment. The communities that tried to take it's place after don't come close. It's a shame because I don't know where…

Or more recently, if Bill Gates doesn't get the will of the voters he will spend millions and millions of dollars circumventing state supreme court rulings based off of legal techn…

Not too mention, at least in America, the vast majority of American lives are far worst off than they were in the 70s, 80s, or 90s. Making smart phones and personal computers just …

When I interview candidates who mention github contributions or courses they've created/taught or talks they've given I never have time to look at it. I'm literally told we're brin…

I've work for large national ISP where they are heavily trying to create a new series of network engineering tools (device discovery, adding new ARs with ease, upgrading existing d…

4 years for a product is abysmal from one of the richest companies in the world. This is Google not some garage shop with 2 employees.

I forgot the shinning examples of conservative rule that is Alabama and Mississippi. For all the faults that California has political, it's still an economic powerhouse. What does …

Do you mean bash/zsh profiles or recent command history?

It's not just California, it's every state and every city in the US. People have an aversion to public works projects often crying about taxes or how the service is useless or not …

IME no. This is going to be an extremely cynical take but most software jobs (>80%) are basically the same. That goes for the companies as well, we aren't as unique as we think; an…

Before changing jobs, I was in a WeWork location at DTX in Boston. There were many rooms that were empty, but Puma was paying for an entire floor so maybe they were making the diff…

My current org is composed of mostly MS and PHDs (I'd honestly say 60% have graduate degrees), the only thing it convinced me of is that if you're working in my company and went to…

Why shouldn't doctors and the medical industry take the blame in the US? They artificially limit the supply of Doctors in the US and have the audacity to claim that building more m…

Are there any resources or articles you'd recommend to get a more in-depth view of CSS? I'm a frontend developer but I always struggle with CSS beyond the basics. Understanding how…

Good thing 80% of the population is concentrated into cities and not spread across the country...

ICE is a recent phenomenon whose creation was only due to 9/11 attacks. Prior everything they did was handled by other organizations more effectively.

It's not really excuses when the person doesn't understand what they are doing or why. The problem is entirely with how NPM downloads dependencies, not exactly typescript. The OP i…

Starts out as trolling then some people buy into it, suddenly the group that was 80/20 trolls to believers is now 40/60 trolls to believers.

I don't mean to be facetious but how does that make it better? Doesn't he still control the company that owns the fund? Is it suppose to be better because it "looks" better because…

I like to refer to POA as Resume Driven Development, pairs nicely with TDD IMO.

I think you know the answer to that question.

Not speaking of tornado zones, but most of the FEMA insurance goes to homes that make of beach/water front property. I'd love to see the hordes of poor people that live on the beac…

Are you willing to say what country and what company you work for?

Nice to know that people are still clinging to a document that can literally mean whatever we want it to when convenient while Americans continue to shuffle and get raped by the co…

Why is it hard to fire employees? Workers have extremely weak protections in the United States. I never buy this argument. If google wanted to clean shop they can, other tech compa…
