I saw a version of this dating back to 1997, so that's why it probably seems old.

If this started as part of another app, it could have taken 2 years to isolate the framework as a standalone piece of work.

Correct. It simply provides context. The article should be judged on its own merits, but it's important to know when a given source leans one way or another. Especially when the organization uses ostensibly general/objective words

I have paid for Pluralsight in the past (right now I have a free subscription). In my experience the courses are fairly comprehensive, and the quality of the videos is high. Pluralsight started out fairly Microsoft-heavy, but their course c

Yes, but I suppose it's a matter of expectation. When I read NYT or WSJ or Slate or National Review I will get a fairly consistent message. We don't see a lot of extreme partisan publications linked in HN, probably for good reason

First Google result is a link to Fox News, and an article titled "Liz Peek: Census 2020 – Liberals, get over it, we must ask about citizenship!" People can agree or disagree with that, but The Hill does not appear to have a consis

One of the things I've learned about The Hill's opinion page is to background check the contributor -- seems like just about anyone can get an article there.

Perhaps it's worth talking to a therapist to examine your relationship with your family? No matter what the legal situation is, emotionally this is your company as well, and I can't imagine how hard it must be to stop working ther

This was my thought as well -- surprised that there's no mention of a lawyer here or in the linked post. One can consult a lawyer without bringing any action, which could be invaluable in providing an objective, outside opinion. Sadly,

Probably not, but one should never discount the power of name recognition, combined with symbolism, acting in lieu of traditional qualifications (see "Donald Trump").

Everyone knows the doctor developers rarely show up, and the nurse developers end up doing all the work. Doctor is a long-running process that requires a callback from nurse.
