I'm sure it depends heavily on your country, career field, age, income level, etc... Most people I know were somewhere between surprised and jealous, more or less impressed that we were able to not go bankrupt with just me working and

Yes, it would have been nice if the title explicitly stated that... i.e., "Does anyone know why the TSA is now scanning paper?"

Definitely; I was thinking that earlier while reading this post. On the one hand, you have newcomers who might have an answer no one thought would work, but on the other hand experience nets wisdom that often is more accurate than the newco

That's a fair point, I guess it just outlived its set of standards.

Maybe. I don't know OP or his situation. Others had already mentioned taking a vacation so that seemed redundant. I mentioned that first because it's easy to fall into a lifestyle trap and think the only way to cope is to get a jo

Small persistent holistic steps in the direction you want your life to move. If you want more money look at where you can save money (not eating out, buying generic products, etc.) and things you might be able to do on the side to earn more

IANAL but Microsoft's obligations under that expired and I'm not sure if those arguments even hold up anymore or not. Windows isn't what it once was and for example downloading a browser is no longer a burden, it takes all of

It is a little off-putting, but I think it certainly has its place in educating and entertaining people about wildlife. BBC's Hidden Kingdoms comes to mind, where they make no illusions about the fact that you are watching a film not a

It's true traditional databases require you to think through your solution before you go implementing it, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. NoSQL is great for prototyping and being productive fast, but that productivity comes wi

This Atwood fellow seems to know his CS. He should set up some kind of support forum that devs can use to get help with their coding problems.

You say that, but many devs do precisely what you're talking about. They compete with existing frameworks to solve problems starving devs are having instead of looking around for the problems that small to medium-sized businesses are s

Definitely an example of perspiration over innovation. So many devs and "idea guys" dismiss flawed ideas and wait around for that one great idea that will launch their career, not realizing most popular libraries/sites/e

(On the topic of Discord the chat app) There is at least one reason: to share a code base between the web and "desktop" version of the app.

I don't know about "perfect", it certainly can fit the relational mold though. I'll take a shot in the dark and say that the advantage of using a NoSQL platform to host a forum is that you can very quickly load all resou

Kind of impressive how many "cultural" views and traditions are the result of clever and pervasive marketing. Offhand, examples like putting a diamond in a wedding ring that costs a few month's salary or dressing boys in blue

Is it just me or is there almost no information in this advisory besides telling people to update their firmware? I don't know what this vulnerability is or how it is exploited and I barely know what systems of mine might be affected b

Thanks I'll have to check out that book. I agree, a public forum really complicates the issue.

> you can never win an argument online This is true online and it's true in person. As you said even if you "win" by getting the other person to concede, the net result is often that they are more walled into their positio

I suppose it's in the title, but I was disappointed the article doesn't even attempt to provide some solutions. The one proposal the article makes is poorly thought out. It's become clear that in today's political cultur

Isn't there already a middle solution? You can do whatever you want, but you void the warranty.

Here's a question for the community -- has anyone here ever been in a union? What was it like? So much of this thread is theoretical concerns, but I'm wondering what the actual on the ground experience is like.

Does that not meet the same end? By strengthening their position they can barter for better benefits for you. Even if those benefits aren't precisely the ones you want, that doesn't negate the fact that they are on your collective

That's a fair point; I wonder if some kind of licensing program or systematic training* for bicyclists would be beneficial. Maybe incentivize it with a tax break or something if you take the (paid) training every x years and bike to wo
