I'm not familiar with app engineering, but wouldn't the location access be enough for that?

Interesting. Can you elaborate on this. What do you use this vanillaJS framework for? How do you do DOM manipulation? How much traffic do you get from what you've built using this? I've heard doing document.getElement... and then

Are you sure it's the lack of social skills? Lot of my male colleagues don't socialize with women at work. They are completely normal outside of work. They just don't want to take risks in today's socio-political climate

Also, cats aren't as social as either dogs or crows (collaborative hunting wise). Cats not coming when summoned is a very common thing, even when they recognise their names.

My gf is in a community oriented job here in India. Dominated by women. Men are criticized much harshly, the environment is outright unprofessional with sex talk and gossip constantly at work. Every other day there is another girl crying be

> India is similarly doing in Kashmir. That line just proves how much of an echo chamber this place really is when it comes to international affairs. I live in India. I just had lunch with my colleague who is a Kashmiri native. His paren

I think there is a law in Canada against mis-gendering people. Lot of popular tech companies have explicit CoC guideline against mis-gendering. StackOverflow recently fired a moderator for proposing to use gender neutral pro-nouns instead o

In no way does Hinduism contrast that. And Yoga is not a religion. Eternal recurrence is also a Hindu concept. The Eternal part is a little iffy at times though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_return

Yes actually. Based on some of the Quora answers I've read, they don't enjoy cooking after coming home. But since cooking is an unavoidable activity (unlike a side project, you can't procrastinate with hunger) they might have

Side project is still a continuation of what you do for 8 hours everyday. Other activities are not. If your job was to hike everyday and then someone proposed side-hiking when you are back from your main hiking activity, I'm sure you w

It's quite evident that it's agenda based rationalisation. It's fine as long as we're spreading misinformation or framing data in a manner that furthers what we think the world should do. Rest of the type of misinformati

What even is a logical authority? Someone who is right factually? Is that bad somehow now?

He was fired for taking an unpopular stance about a very subjective topic in a private mailing list. He isn't a law maker or a sociologist. He is a technologist. He isn't obliged to have a socially correct opinion. You are right.

A layman here. Wouldn't a Black Hole with a mass equal to Earth's be significantly smaller than Earth? Won't the Gravitational range (Schwarzschild radius?) be significantly less than Earth's?

I'd agree with you if you could show me when someone in the valley was fired for professing identity politics. I can show you examples the other way around, from FAANG companies nevertheless.

Locking horns is useful if the nature of discourse were better. If you are going to be called sexist or racist (insert choice moralising label) every time you remotely resemble an outlier group strawman, with possibly real implication on yo

Their normal paragraph is 24px. Which is huge compared to the average content you find on web. The title is 48px. I find it more legible than the average web content, yet it's a little jarring. Some 22px/40px worked very well for

Human indifference isn't a binary state. I can drive around in a big SUV, doesn't mean I'm indifferent. All the people in the world can't, nor are obligated to care exactly as much as you do. Telling people otherwise is

Biological pest control has always been practiced historically. It's always good to have frogs in the paddy fields. Insect eating birds for the most part tend to be omnivores, hence dangerous for crops as well, unfortunately. I'm

I'm not based out of US, so the experience will vary. My understanding of drivers getting bad marked is that here the demand for Uber at peak times is still larger than the supply, hence even though you might be penalised via de-priori

Drivers often call you and ask you where your drop location is. Depending on your answer, they often cancel. Or worse, ask you to cancel. I've even had cancellations after I've sat in the car.
