I would love to see pharmacy advertising banned from television and streaming services during certain times of the day. I would also love to see the same advertising banned on bill…

As someone who is XXY, I can’t help but wonder what, if any issues would be caused by a pregnant mother taking a lot of this.

I hear ya. I'm definitely not saying that ideology is right, I'm just saying that I don't think that any side really has a good understanding of the impacts of either decision. I'v…

I think you have a wonderful observation. I don't think so lot of people know what is right. I think most people's definition of right is totally driven by political ideology consu…

Maybe I misunderstood, but I could swear they reworked a ton of their algorithms as part of this effort.

I'm actually tempted to do a PR against dotnet to see if they'd accept this improvement. My guess is that just like with Roslyn, customers have come to count on the implementation,…

I cannot divulge my sources, so take it for what it is, but in talking with people at the top of several very large private insurers (as far back as 2016) they were sick of how pro…

> "It out performs Microsoft’s generic SortedDictionary (which is actually a red-black tree) by a factor of 2 for inserts and a factor of 4 for searches." I may have missed it, but…

I’ve always heard the saying “stones are the bones of dead mountains” Turns out it could be true.

I’m inclined to agree. For ten years we’ve seen companies have unfathomable growth, yet wages haven’t really grown. The public is being taken advantage in almost every industry—fro…

Thank you for the explanation! If someone such as myself wanted to understand the philosophy of functional languages, do you have any book you'd recommend? Learning the languages i…

Serious question about this line: "Reusing code via inheritance is fragile. Inheritance also couples interfaces to implementations, which makes reuse more difficult. This is its ow…

I think you may have missed the goal of the exercise friend. I think this is a larger metaphor about walking through the waking life without really observing what’s going on. Discl…

I consider it professional development too. Something I like about HN is that the comments are typically fact based or coming from a constructive place. Very little have I received…

I appreciate how dedicated GitLab is to continuously improving the product. Thinking about moving my projects from Bitbucket to GitLab for that reason.

I agree completely. I think that regardless of whether microservices works for anyone or not, they came about to address a real issue that we still have, but that I’m not sure anyo…

I’m not fully willing to accept the plumbing analogy myself. While I do agree that most of our work is CRUD over REST, I think there’s another element of skill that isn’t uncovered…

A lot of people who take L-Theanine with Caffeine are taking it at a higher dosage than what you can from even a few cups of tea. I’ve read about this combination quite a bit and f…

>“but it’s all irrelevant unless the software meets the needs of those using it” I’m not trying to be a jerk here, but TDD does just that. I tried to read the rest of this, but the…

I think this is great for them. I think that depending on national culture, a person may want to die with what they came into this world with. I know that some world religions are …

I think there’s something important to glean here. We’ve always seen Facebook driving trends in social media (or re-appropriating features from lesser groups). We are starting to s…

Wait, we’re on 6 now??

Are you okay?

Disclaimer: This is an opinion and I’m not purporting this as fact, since folks don’t know the difference these days. Based on his reactions to social situations, I truly believe h…

I keep seeing this general attitude about frontend, but I have a serious question: What’s the better alternative? I’m not asking this rhetorically because I have an answer, I just …
