Go has broken backwards compatibility in the core libraries a few times over its short life.

It's because meditation is practically useful in a variety of ways. Much like mathematics. > Why do people in the US practice meditation? Is it because they rationally considered a…

Can you please clarify how a "big dongle" joke is sexist? I honestly don't understand and I think many people don't and that's why they're saying it's not sexist. You haven't reall…

This sounds much better conceptually than it winds up being in practice. I tried one of these before, but crap like interstitial ad pages on news sites being hosted on some of thes…

This guy seems to be full of crap to me. Did you see the Pastebin he posted? "cool wow godaddy is so safe lol i just found 51 vulnerabilities http://pastebin.com/EdCDaqQy " It's a …

The real question is why do the British call it "public school" when it's not run by the public? Sounds like they need better English education...

The plain text on the site looks blurry on a retina MacBook. I'm not sure how they even managed to make that happen. It's throwing nginx 504 timeouts now too...

That's the end goal, unfortunately there are plenty of cargo cultists that don't really understand it and think the process is the important part. I've worked on scrum teams before…

I prefer the "getting shit done" methodology. Find the least amount of process necessary to get your work done and make sure everyone knows what's going on and has reasonable expec…

Is that so?

> And the non-judgmental, you're all special snowflakes, do whatever, is also. Oh? How are you so sure?

I wonder if this same argument was made when computers first had mouses and GUIs introduced... It's a silly, pointless argument. Absolutely without merit.

You could come to realize the nature of reality, in Buddhist thought. The three marks of reality in Buddhism are anatta(not-self), annica(impermanence), and dukkha(suffering/dissat…
