I disagree as an American heterosexual guy who has many female friends. It works the same way any friendship works with the same sex for heterosexual men. I have positively no desire to sleep with my closest male friends, but they are my f

He seems to argue that it's very difficult to have platonic male/female friendships in a heterosexual context. Speaking as anecdotally as that article did. My first roommate was a girl. Neither of us wanted to have sex with eachother. It

When people are applying for a job you can be 99% sure they're motivated by the money I would challenge the 99% rule (I know it wasn't derived scientifically so I'm not poking fun). Speaking purely from my own experience and my knowledge

Have you ever found a replacement that works suitably without having to use DosBox?

I've had been using the Costco Kirkland AAs for a long time, but I stopped last year due to a perceived shelf life issue. In an attempt to reduce waste, I use a "battery rotation" in my house. They start in the kids toys. When they reach

My domain transfer completed today (interesting, since it said it would complete on Tuesday, but I'll chock it up to volume). Immediately before the domain transfer, I received an e-mail indicating that GoDaddy was sorry to see my one sad d

While I'm sure this would probably violate all sorts of copyright, I'd love a site that could provide alternate dubbed languages (specifically Spanish, German and Portuguese) for movies. The dubbing is never quite right or simply not includ

I was seconds away from updating my status with a quote from that entry... then I saw it was from John Mayer and I realized how much grief and sarcasm I'd get for having posted and linked to the source. The sad thing is, I like a lot of his

This is an interesting problem that I think some states in the US have at least partially solved. The highways in Michigan, for example, are almost all set at 70 MPH (minus those around large cities like Detroit, a point I disagree with).

The discussions on this post are awesome. So many are judging this is moral terms and from every perspective imaginable. The two most prevalent are: "The fight was in public, the world has changed, I have no sympathy" "I would

I've been tearing through this one and I have a very basic question: Because it's in the IP stack, would a software firewall offer any sort of defense here?

I think you've answered your own question here. I'd put Knuth on stage, because, he's Knuth. You know he'd have something interesting to say that would be relevant to your audience, assuming your audience was the typical reader of this site

I agree completely and as a result I generally don't trust any news source that pretends to be objective (whatever that means in an environment where personal bias meets advertising revenue and the end-product is at least partly entertain

Based on what I've seen from this blog post, my initial impression is that I don't think I'm going to like the new Gmail UI (I haven't been able to use it, so this is based on the preview). But I'll be perfectly happy when they arrive. One

I'm happy with the reduction in Experts Exchange content in my search (I won't get into that at the moment, just to say that I usually find better quality content on other sites). Unfortunately, I still run into a myriad of copy/paste sites

I hope I'm not the only one here upvote your comment simply because you decompressed IR into Intermediate Representation. I like to read about LLVM and some of the things that are a bit (ok, in a lot of cases, way ) above what I do day-to-

As a former SQL guy myself, this issue wasn't a surprise the first time I saw it. In MSSQL (and I believe this is somewhat, though not always universal since Structured Query Language is somewhat, though rarely completely compatible between

Thanks for the fantastic summary. I got a chuckle from one thing: besides the nearest RV park being 43 miles away (I believe I know exactly the one you're referring to), it's also about 12 miles of country road driving, and it's no picnic

Thanks for the correction. I was too lazy to look it up :). Being from the suburban area and not much of a "Michigan tourist", we always hear of the income tax being the "big detractor" to investment in the city. There are so many other pro

Also note that those $6000 houses (and even less) will have property tax of several thousand per year. Detroit is still valuing houses at the rates of 10+ years ago I'm curious about this statement. From what I recall of state law, the ho

I'd like to speak as the man on the ground and in dire confusion while reading this article. The author has fallen into the trap that most of us living here have fallen into. We all claim to be "from Detroit" but in reality, most of us live

Peldi-- I believe you to be correct in your fear. It doesn't scale unless you ensure the managers layers below you encourage their employees to take time off and are as flexible as you. I'd also strongly recommend looking over that shared v

I think the outcome of this type of policy, as mentioned by others, is largely a product of the culture of the place that you work. Where I work, we're given pretty generous paid time off, with very precise definitions of how said paid time

I thought about this one for a little bit and threw it into the bucket of "well, most certifications are worthless", but I don't think I fully believed that. Our security team consists of individuals that I would consider great and folks

I saw two comments when I clicked the comment link: TWAndrews: I think most people would be more enraged by "we're going to delay your flight because it's less profitable for us" than "Oops, wow, we screwed up." Symmetry: I wonder if the

You are very clear, however, I take issue with your equating being black, white or martian to having anger management issues. It was not my intention to mislead, but it appears that I have, my apologies. You are correct in asserting that m

There's a difference between "that guy's kind of a jerk, but I don't think he knows it" and deleting paid accounts and backups over some words on Twitter. Yeah, there's a not-so-subtle line there. I would be concerned if an employee of mi

I don't think the issue is one of social incapability, but one of failing to match a hire with his responsibilities. If you're going to have your technical guy interacting with customers, then being technically brilliant but lacking custom

That's very interesting, thanks for the link. I have children, and I've worked with a few folks who have been diagnosed as ADHD, but I think the focus always lands on the "Hyperactivity". In retrospect, he could very well be ADHD (it was c

There is a bit of an obsession with telling the whole story in this thread and it's exactly what I'd expect out of HN readers (we're always skeptical, or maybe that's just me). The reality is that it's impossible to tell the whole story
