He's not the only anti-startup commenter here. I'm curious, have you ever worked at a startup as a programmer, not as a founder? Sometimes, it's easier to see the downside of a system when you're not the one profiting fr

You're the only one in this thread talking about human automatons, outsourcing and broken corporate structures. I'm explaining why a healthy corporation would want to use a simpler and easier to understand system over a more compl

I couldn't agree with the article more. I should have come up with a different tl;dr for the previous post, considering everything I wrote in this thread has specifically been about corporations and not startups. Sorry about the confus

If you're a software engineer, you really ought to be living in the Bay Area. There's no other place like it. I agree there's no other place like it, but that's not necessarily a good thing. I've been there, done

Something in between would be ideal for me. A center console with a touch screen for configuring settings when you're not driving, but physical buttons, switches and knobs on the steering wheel for when you're driving.

I think the question the parent is trying to raise is, is HN the right place for gender discussions in the first place? I have a dotjs script that filters out any political or social posts here because the conversations that occur are simpl

I had no choice but to set up my computer in my dorm room at college for 4 years. By the end of the third year, my ability to sleep in that room was gone. I also work remotely and I do so from a remote area. Cities are too noisy and the few

When women use the word "creepy" what they mean is they are not attracted to them and any attention received by them is unwanted. As a guy, there are two ways to avoid being labeled as creepy: 1) be attractive 2) don't be una

I agree completely, that's why I used the word "inconclusive." Still, it's the only real data we have on static vs dynamic typing. Until we get better data, everything is just opinion and preference. Well informed opinio

All this talk about formal type theory, but where are the references to the relevant studies? Where's the data? The few studies[1][2][3][4] I've found are inconclusive one way or the other and none of them focus on error rates. I
