I had to write code for Androids, and so I 'used' them quite a bit while testing. To this day, every time I have to use an Android phone, I want to claw my eyes out, mainly over the lousy touch response, and somewhat-stupider UI.

Thank you so much for writing this.

One reason you might donate would be if you have compassion. Compassion doesn't need to be deserved in a Puritanical sense.

Some find this type of labeling helpful. Some find it unhelpful. At any rate, we should probably tread carefully. People with mental illness need jobs as much as, if not more than, those who pass for normal. I know. I have suffered from ser

1 ) Perhaps this could be the start of Xah Lee learning some social skills. If so, good on him. He'll go a lot further with them. 2 ) Surely someone in this community can offer him a job writing documentation, at the least? Think of it

On the issue of Google (and especially G+) and privacy, if one is only being even medium-dramatic, that's hardly a criticism.

Eminem has spoken about how much he enjoys playing with words. One of the techniques he's mentioned is taking two words that don't rhyme and bending the sound of each about half way towards each other.

There isn't a doubt in my mind that if someone came along and said what the actual grand structure and meaning of reality is, most people on the Internet would dismiss it as college stoner thoughts out of hand.

He could work for a corp that is small enough that it still seems like it is made of decent human beings. My interview experience with G was more than enough to ensure I never seek to work there again. And, the trauma of having all my med

This jackassery is like if DEC had gone after Microsoft for hiring Dave Cutler et al. If every company always pursued every technicality allowed by our stupid laws, none of us would be free to change jobs. edit: Apparently I couldn't h

My last "visionary episode" occurred a couple of weeks before the Higgs was confirmed, and the Higgs field featured very prominently in the visions. Compare this to how the Higgs must also have featured very prominently in the wak

A company founder doing damage control isn't even close to equivalent to a badly treated employee speaking up about being treated badly. The respective motivations are completely different.

Hey, it's all relative. I have no personal life or relationships to speak of, and no projects. Sounds to me like he's doing ok.

I find this depends entirely on what I'm doing. When I was working on a game full time on my own time, 12 hours a day consistently was easy, and things like eating, and my girlfriend at the time, were a nuisance. At most of my day jobs

I'm from Boston. I saw spontaneous group conversations break out among strangers fairly often. Certainly, I would not think twice if it happened there. In eight years in Seattle, I have never seen it happen, not even once.

Every time I meet one of their couriers in broad daylight, and they hand me a receipt, I feel like I'm just grazing a tiny part of history. It's not Rosa Parks level. It's a smaller matter, but it's still an important ch

I'm sorry, but as a long-time sufferer, I feel compelled to disagree with this viewpoint wherever I see it, to represent people like me. I've been suicidal and depressed on and off for about 20 years. From in here, it doesn't

When it happens to a high-profile figure, people grapple with the issues in the public sphere. It raises awareness.

1. I'm surprised how often the simple matter of difficulty is skirted. I've been wholeheartedly and single-mindedly motivated to off myself in the past, and it is hard to do . I don't know how to get a gun, and if I had one,

I'm not saying what he said was valid, but I am saying that neither being offensive nor being a generalization needs to have a bearing on truth value. Another: All else being equal, women get a lot of attention and praise, while men

You think that we haven't considered the relationship between morality and popular opinion, and that we should give more weight to popular opinion? And that if we did, we'd see it makes a better basis for morality than models that

Most of my enjoyment of programming comes from the coolness of math, logic, and simulation. Most of my hatred of programming comes from the brittle, messy, confusing, uneven frameworks laid down before me by other programmers. My career con
