It's actually quite easy to understand, given a sufficient understanding of human nature. You're trying to dominate a social situation, because you think you are right (and by extensions, that there are others who will support you

eh, this is like an obese man complaining that thin women don't want to date him, then when people point out the obvious, he complains why is the onus being pushed on him instead of on the thin women who don't find him attractive.

I tried to freelance before. The number one concern for a freelancer is how do I get clients. Nothing on your site provides a solution for my problem.

For the same reason that git turned out better than svn for a lot of use cases. It seems like Windows is not really one of these use cases.

What I find more surprising is the length they went through to make git work for them. It would probably have been better if they had assigned a team of highly skilled engineers to design a distributed source control from scratch specifical

Moving Windows development to git sounds like a completely irrational decision from a technical standpoint that was driven mostly by marketing concerns.

I think the language server is not a solution to a technical problem; it's a solution to a social/political problem. How to support intellisense for a language one time and have it work on many editors?

Try harder. A PC full of programs built with these assumptions will probably grind to a halt all the time despite having very high spec hardware.

> We know this from the number of people who are working and claiming benefit. For how long do they claim benefits? This could actually be a bad sign.

For every guy who legitimately could use some temporary help until he gets back on his feet, there are hundreds of free loaders. If you think about it actually more reason to hate on free loaders. They cause tragedies like this.

The other day I was listening to a clip from Jordan Peterson, and he said something that I found a bit surprising/shocking, but this articles seems to confirm it: people on the left who claim to side with the poor don't actually c

I'm sorry but if you have crippling anxiety that you cannot chat about subjects you find interesting then you're going to be a burden on any team. Selecting only based on chattiness is not good, but filtering out people who cannot

What is behavioral test? Like, I don't understand all these weird paradigms that people come up with to deal with the deficiencies of dynamic typing. If declaring structs is seen as costly overhead that complicates coding, tests are wh

This quote is so misunderstood and so abused all the time. The point of the statement is to not micro-optimize this and that corner of the program without having any data to guide you on what you should optimize and how. It's not a ral

Somewhat off topic but I think that more and more people are learning (the hard way, unfortunately) how important static typing is, and how dynamic typing makes it very difficult to develop and maintain large projects. I think the next gene
