tomrod used the term "anarcho-capitalism", which is a specific strain of political anarchy, and that is what I was responding to.

I'm not sure how you can say hierarchical organizations that use violence/coercion are in any way anarchist. Anarcho-capitalism requires voluntary engagement in a system of contracts and so forth. (Whether that could actually wo

I think they suggest that people can be made aware of their incompetence after feedback, but the right kind of feedback often isn't given because of cultural factors that make it unacceptable to give "negative" feedback and a

Anecdotal, but PostGIS is the reason I started using Postgres several years ago in some of my own projects, which later came in handy at different jobs. At one place, we standardized on Postgres partly because of PostGIS. I think Django h

Building your own is educational and maybe even fun (to a point), but it's not going to magically fix these kinds of issues. Most if not all frameworks support navigation and custom framework XYZ probably isn't going to do a bette

I think the argument is something along the lines of: the public hears that an engineer is making certain claims and then push for the laws to be changed. Running of yellow/red lights ends up killing a lot of people. Perhaps without th

In Oregon, yellow essentially means stop. A lot of Oregon transplants (and apparently many commentators in this thread) aren't aware of this. http://www.oregonlive.com/commuting/index.ssf/2014/02/jos

This perfectly articulates something I tried to get across to upper management last time we hired a manager for our team. It seems so obvious and reasonable, but they wouldn't hear it. So, we ended up hiring someone who not only had no

Go is still a pile of abstractions built on top of another pile of abstractions that almost no one fully groks. It doesn't seem significantly less "magical" than any other commonly-used language, especially from the perspecti

I thought `createClass` does/did something essentially similar to what `class` does in ES6. Not having to use a framework's custom class-creation machinery doesn't seem like a big loss to me or like it is has anything to do w

I just tested some things in PyCharm. It has no problem with word_word or wordWord as variable names. It's even smart enough to flag just the non-word in word_ajsjasjasa . It will also put a squiggly under camelCaseWords in Pyth

It's true that you should think about what you're doing so you can avoid mistakes (and, as a side effect, type less), but you still end up typing quite a bit as a programmer, and you probably want to minimize the impedance mismatc

That sounds nice, but it seems like most if not all work relationships are based on at least dishonesty through omission if not outright lies. Employers rarely give a full and true picture of what it's like to work somewhere. It's

As someone who smokes occasionally, it sounds to me like you're just making excuses. In the past 10 years or so, I don't recall ever having to throw a butt on the ground. There was always an alternative. Regarding your #4, that

It looks like the author prefers Django REST Framework (DRF) instead of Tastypie. I can't compare them on their technical merits as I've never used Tastypie, but I do know that DRF is actively developed and has some kind of backin

The one problem I have with this is that I want `mail.example.com` to always open in my work container, but `mail.example.com` redirects to `mail.google.com` and the latter is what ends up being saved, so it's not possible to assign to

One of the major causes of inefficiency is bad management--the cause behind many of the responses given here. Incompetent managers up the chain don't have a coherent vision that moves us forward. They spend most of their time playing a

This applies to pretty much any institutional IT (non-profit, education, etc). We waste an incredible amount of time and money badly maintaining systems just for hosting websites, for example. And not for any good reason, mind you--our syst
