Screenwriters re-write portions of scripts all the time, yet are rarely granted writing credit on the script. Every hollywood script has had at least 4-5 writers on it, yet only one of them gets the credit and the royalties. How that's

They also do this in a TV series called "Charlie Jade." In the show there are three known universes and each has its own distinct color and hue. You know which one you're looking at by the color change alone. It really helps

but isn't it at least a little exaggeration to say that Silicon Valley is the main "trench of the global gender war" It's an exaggeration to say there's a gender war at all. It's feminists against the patriar

I posted a question elsewhere in this thread asking why the tech industry has been getting the brunt of the diversity shakedown. That's easy: it's influential. They started with the schools, then moved on to the universities. Ne

Define equal. Then tell me what legal rights women have that men don't have. Because I can name about five legal rights that women have that men don't.

The enemy isn't the patriarchy, it's feminism. They create straw men to attack because they want power. There is no global gender war. It's being fabricated in real time to justify the ridiculous laws that arbitrarily make cr

I sympathize with both sides. It does frustrate me as well, but if the interviewers did that, people would stop agreeing to do interviews with them. It effectively prevents the interviewee from controlling the narrative, which is the only r

Have you ever tried to program a controller? It's hard too. You need special hardware, special software and know how to connect them all up. It's not just copying and pasting code from the internet. It's sufficiently discoura

We have computer-controlled braking and throttles now Couldn't the same case be made for doing your own mechanic work, though? We have braking, which is hydraulic and throttles which operate by wire. There's nothing preventing y

A framework must CALL YOU. It usually gives you a piece of code that loads itself and lets you customize what it does by passing your code/configs to it. Then you tell it to run with what you gave it. The parts of the framework that y

It used to be that people who bought property became owners. Depending on who you ask, that stopped being the case the minute states started charging property tax. It's not yours, you just rent from the government. With the addition

The owners are obliged to leave a path open so the public can access the beach. Can you be held liable in Brazil for things that happen on your property? For example, if somebody hurts themselves on the path, can they then sue you?

I don't know the pertinent CA laws, but in NY you can be fined for not shoveling snow off of your sidewalk and you are required to keep the sidewalk in good repair. If the sidewalk is broken and somebody trips, you can get fined by the

If you've never worked outside of Tech, I can understand why you would think that. If you have, then I apologize for the miscategorization, but I find this attitude prevalent in Tech in general. Most BigCos have two fundamental rules:

Isn't that basically rolling your own framework? :) shrug Personally, I don't see it that way. Frameworks are more generalized and reusable. They tend to be so large because they have to take into account a wider degree of pro

By rolling your own framework, you inevitably end up reinventing the wheel and solving problems that have already been solved. You don't have to roll your own framework. You could always just use the micro-libraries that are ubiquito

Enlighten us, then. What parts do you think were fabricated? If you can provide proof (and by that I mean logical proof or physical proof) then I will change my mind. I just haven't seen any yet.

Thank you for this comment. I spent years thinking emacs was cool, but didn't quite get the push toward using emacs for everything but the kitchen sink until now. Time to take another look at it, I suppose.
