AI written article that pushes twisted agenda. I am pretty sure majority of people would not love to work hard if they didn't have to. There are exceptions for everything but don't confuse people who are doing something they like

Is there no police where you're from? Why are you reporting supposed hit and run to tech support of an app?

I don't recall ever returning anything. I don't buy that much stuff in general, but I feel like having the ability to just buy and return stuff makes you end up with more junk.

It's often ignored because not all people get to work on interesting new features or care about the customers. This is all cool and dandy if you're a founder or working a job where the actual product is interesting, but most jobs

While I prefer wired keyboard as well (due to not having to deal with pairing / connection issues), this argument I don't understand: > Firstly the board is completely wireless, which means I have to charge it via USB-C. As I&#

That's not what the post is about. They describe the process as mostly fixing issues with existing software, so the motivation is that something is broken or not working as required anymore. Refactoring it is just one of possible parts

It also works just while plugged in so there is no downtime. I feel like I charge it couple times a year by any random usb-c that is on my table at the moment while I keep using it. Even if it didn't, it takes maybe 1-2 minutes to ch

I'll just have to guess the reimagined IDE is not longer very text-centric given that without proprietary JavaScript the page is just a green background.

This only sounds like a 'problem' because the lisp dialects are so similar that you would almost expect them to be the same, no? That seems like a nice feature - you know Common Lisp so you have to only learn some nuances to write

Thanks, I forgot about this aspect of live program editing. Whether or not it's possible (or how close just quick live reload) is to this it' definitely not a first class citizen like you presented. It also reminds me of Pharo (or

Not the OP but would somebody be able to summarize HOW are the lisp REPLs different then to me? I've written limited amount of clojure and common lisp just to play around and I don't recall any difference between Clojure REPL an

It sounds like I might be in this case. We're talking decades. You are talking about various investments and even making sure to time the mortgage to beat the market. I am talking about putting the money in S&P 500 and similar with

Your math is too simple. Consider alternative scenario where you invest your down payment and what you save on mortgage (generally slightly more expensive), invest what you save on extra repairs / maintenance. After those 30 years it&#

Fertility is definitely not below replacement rate. Maybe in western countries. You find it hard to say it's unfair but you seem to hint to it. I don't think it is in the slightest. Also you sound like a software developer from

I think that it is a US specific obsession. I don't even know what "calculus" is really. I have had plenty of math classes both in high school and later at university but I don't recall any significant distinction that w

I agree with you about ideal approach to tests and spec but sometimes the "specification coming from elsewhere" is pretty vague, incomplete or simply lost in time. In that case, if I have code that satisfies that specification as

If they're able to play video games and not pay attention during the meeting then it's a waste of their time to be there in the first place. Stop wasting people's time with your meetings.

They should not be allowed to lie and say their technology "enhances details". This is not a TV show and there are no details to be enhanced.

This is something I think about whenever I am in a taxi/uber (don't drive, live in a city with good public transport). It's astounding that we're completely apathetic to driving at high speeds in opposite directions with

There is a 300km long fissure and the article contains one tweet with four pictures? And googling it reveals another set of like three images and rest of links to this article?

That's a nice straw man you've built there. Let's try an alternate scenario: don't let people die because they cannot afford expensive treatments. Now we have something else to aim for rather than policing people'
