I’m tried to understand the motivation for this salty comment and the parent comment. I failed. Then I opened the user’s comment history and most of their comments are like this. ModernMech, please, keep in mind we’re all doing our best. Be

This is almost spooky... it produced the results of my typical google research process. Thanks for this, I'm impressed.

How hard would it be to do a comparative analysis, say of Vision Pro, Oculus, and Quest? Does that capability exist? Or is it more of a summarization/vision board thing? The UI looks great, btw.

i'm in the market for a remote position. is that something that would work here? or is this only for locals or those able to move to the bay area?

from my experience, this is all 100% accurate. medtech is a shit show. however, from another perspective, it's exactly the type of "schlep" that mints millionaires.

totally agree. i think it's why many many many tech managers aren't technical. most truly technical people cannot put up with the cognitive dissonance required to convincingly say one thing while believing the opposite.

cool. how about a comment on its usefulness? code quality? breadth of TOS it has ratings for? "it's been around for years" doesn't add much value.

He wasn't doing that at all. His point was that autism skews male and then suggests that the traits of Aspergers make good programmers. It was a comment on why there are more men than women in tech fields. Relevant excerpt below: &quot

we have one side of the story, for fuck's sake. the other side--the github side? it's lawyer-speak and completely devoid of anything that addresses the specific accusations. how so many ostensibly smart people can simultaneously l

i've been playing with elixir for a little while. i'm still wrapping my head around all its metaprogramming goodness, but so far it's been a fun journey. also, jose valim must have clones of himself.

i usually don't jump into these debates, but your comment strikes me as at best impossibly naive and at worst inexcusably ignorant. take a look at the various laws being passed to disenfranchise minority/elderly voters. look at th

Mine is down also. This is actually slightly terrifying. What's standard operating procedure for recovering from a lost gmail account? And I don't mean getting the account back--I mean, your account is lost forever.

my experience w/stripe just adds to the pile of awesome. on a couple of occasions, i was in their support chatroom trading code snippets w/their engineers who were incredibly smart, responsive, and friendly.

"hot startup" is empty and salesy, IMO. after reading this, i kind of wish i hadn't. none of the parties mentioned came off in a positive way.

Saying that the alternative is "a stiff and sterile ad" is a fallacy of false dichotomy. fair enough. to clarify--"a stiff and sterile ad" is the only type of add that won't alienate any possible subgroup. the goal of a job ad is not simp

If that's the type of person you're looking to hire (say, for a porn site...), not sure why you wouldn't do this. Assuming, again, that you aren't breaking any laws. Not sure what point you were trying to make. Sarcasm doesn't translate wel

Can you explain your first sentence? I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I'm not defending bigotry/sexism/etc. Hopefully, you didn't take my comment that way.

i don't disagree with your points. however, each company has a particular culture. in a startup, a new hire that isn't a cultural fit can be devastating. the kind of neutered, sterile job ads that don't ruffle any feathers will not draw the

maybe they are going for cultural fit, first and foremost. if you were offended by this job advert, it's likely you wouldn't be a good fit. why hide company culture by writing a stiff and sterile ad? i'm not saying what they did was good or

i didn't start programming until 22. i'm 27 now with a master's in cs. i'm a senior dev at a company that was just acquired. i thought i was behind, so i worked that much harder to catch up. i'm still catching up every day, but i think it's
