   You’ve spelled out exactly how I feel.

   To be fair, in my case, I did not. I actually received one as a gift last Christmas. I never got around to setting it up (still in packaging). I was planning on trying it out when I had some free time. Now I have a useless device that I can

   Considering that the police force were initially created for slave patrols, it’s not really surprising that white supremacy is a part of police culture. https://time.com/4779112/police-history-origins/ Edit: Note

   I’ve seen the same thing happen with any language. Generally tends to happen when a dev hasn’t thought through the scope of what they are doing beforehand. I’ve written some ugly python in my earlier days due to this as well. My point here

   The phrase “a good work ethic” to me describes what you are saying exactly. I am not passionate about computers, I like solving problems and streamlining the tedious. Personally I don’t have a passion for my company either. I like them, I l

   You didn’t specify how many people they are looking for but if it is multiple people, you could reduce the headcount and double the salary. This makes the pay more competitive and will attract more engineers. With that being said I’ve alway

   Same situation for me. I wonder if I'd get treated like a liar and a criminal for not using a commercial product.

    Thank you for that, I keep getting annoyed by that and keep forgetting to look up how to disable that. I finally just disabled it.

    Fair enough, I believe I misinterpreted your comment then.

    Can we please stop trying to force everything to be connected to the internet? I have no issue with those that want to make a smart house, but it seems like it is increasingly more difficult to find certain quality appliances that are not c

    Didn't they make it so swift can run on any OS now? Also it sounds like you want the ability to develop for osx on a non-osx device. That seems counterintuitive.

    I went to art school and dropped out. In high school I had immense pressure from my guidance counselors to go to art school, specifically a private one. What I was told was that if I didn't go to college and get a degree I would be wor

    And of course Facebook is considered a basic internet necessity by Facebook. I could potentially understand an argument for .gov addresses (still would be against it) but this is just a weakly veiled attempt at forcing Facebook down more pe

    This describes me perfectly as well. I have very little need for social interaction. But I'm usually one of the most talkative people in a room.

    I'm very much introverted and like doing my own thing a lot. My wife is the same way. I was worried about the same thing you are. The key is to find someone who gets you and can relate to that feeling. My home is still a safe escape fo

    I started work at 9. I'm responding to your comment while eating lunch at a restaurant. I plan to leave around 5 today. This is my normal schedule. I'm salaried and live in the US as well. My last two jobs were the same way as wel

    I'm also in the same field and I find Slack (really chat in general) to be highly distracting. The problem isn't in chat itself, it's that people use it to post non-work related things, gifs, large scale notifications that sh

    This is my situation. I have a bare bones Nexus 6P where all of my apps fit on one screen without scrolling. Only the phone, SMS, and Pagerduty apps send push notifications.

    Just wanted to say that I use the CE edition (self hosted) at my job and we love it. The built in CI has been a major game changer for us and has really helped in preventing bugs from slipping through on our MR's. Keep doing an awesome
