When I read this type of stories I cannot help but think that the world would be better off if we banned that type of predator-like behavior, those super aggressive strategies that aim at getting the concurrence out of business by lowering

Wow, that was a very measured response to my comment. From what you wrote it looks obvious to me that you completely missed the point I was trying to make, but I share the responsibility for that at least as much as you do, it is not easy t

You say that you don't brush it off at all, but just before you said "But IME, those folks are few and far between.". Your experience does not really matter here if you are not a woman that experiences that type of harassment

This exchange is a very good illustration of what happened with the #metoo movement: a woman explains the toll that street harassment has on their life, and a man that has never experienced that brushes it off with a #notallmen. While I agr

> > the sole real seat of power is the office of the presidency > is plainly wrong. The president still can lose their majority in parliament, they still can have an hostile prime minister, and they still don’t control the judges.

I loved the first paragraphs but then they lost me with their list of examples. Those are not examples of asking stupid questions. Those are examples of asking good questions in a stupid way, almost like he is trying to look stupid, for no

The 2nd point, "Make your boss afraid", is a double edged sword. If you become indispensable, there is a chance you will get laid off because of that. https://www.stickyminds.com/article/management-myth-36-you

I know which company you are talking about :). I agree that abuse of mocks is bad for tests 100%. But when I clicked the link I was hoping to read an article giving a nuanced description of mocks, with some analysis on when to use and when

Yep, and he did a very bad job at it (and so do you) if the goal was to change my mind. Do you maybe have arguments?

When I am developing a feature, I want to know very fast whether or not my code's logic is correct. It is not rare during the development cycle to run the same test dozens of times because I made a silly mistake (or a few), and obvious

The author seems to believe people either mock everything or don't mock anything. Obviously using mocks for all your tests is a very bad idea, but that's not how things are done generally. Unit tests allow you to validate a unit&#

Did someone understand how they plan on doing so? On first look it reminded me of conservative posts with a lot of outrage but no solution.

Because of an unfortunate house-sharing issue I ended up without any electricity at home for almost 2 months. I still had a phone that I was charging at the office, and still used the computer at work, but all my time at home was spent most

Maybe I am not stubborn enough, but my experience after 5 tries is: - Nobody showed their face to the camera - why not but it seems odd to not be on equal foot - 1 person was doing ONLY small talk and did not seem interested to discuss a sp

> The researchers are conducting a larger, double-blinded trial in which half the participants are receiving fake treatment. This second sentence from the article is enough: let us not comment on an experiment that had no control group.

TL;DR There is no scientific study proving one way or the other and whether you are vegan or not if you do not care about the quality and diversity of what you eat it will probably affect your body and your brain.

You should probably stop thinking about your velocity for a while and instead focus on quality. For your design phases, think thoroughly about all possible solutions and detail the pros/cons of each, then get it reviewed by your collea

Maybe "show" empathy is not the good term, rather "use" empathy.

I think what was meant by "adjust your models of reality" was simply "show empathy". Showing empathy is definitely an actionable advice and should be a prerequisite to any attempt at communicating with another human bein

I am all for it too, I was just giving some context for HN readers who might be surprised to see a lot of hate comments regarding the current mayor under most articles covering Paris elections :)

Again you are comparing apples with oranges. Outside of prison, nothing prevents you from attempting suicide. Whether you succeed or not depends mostly on your resolve and how you do it. In a perfect prison, suicide attempt should be 0%, no

Current mayor is hated by a lot of Parisians because of the "greenification of Paris" as you call it. She closed a few roads and made them pedestrian-only; that was not well received by a number of people.

Well if you look at French media, you will believe French protesters are just there to break everything. If you look at Chinese media, you will believe Hongkongers are just there to break everything. If you actually go to a protest in Franc
