I think I know why personal websites aren't popular anymore. It's the same reason retro video games aren't as fun as they were when they came out. What's missing is the context of the time when they were popular. They we

Isn't it more expensive to launch a geostationary satellite? If their big thing is communication how are they going to compete with Starlink (which isn't geostationary btw)? How is it profitable for anyone to dream of competing wi

I'd be open to not receiving benefits. The only one I really need is healthcare and I can get that through healthcare.gov.

I earn $100,000 a year writing god awful code for a doomed software company. Am I contributing more to the public good than the restaurant worker who cooks my food, the guy who changes my car's oil, or the guy who hauls all of my garba

Clean code is not a phase. That's an obnoxious thing said by non-programming amateurs who find themselves in positions of authority.

In my opinion this is just one symptom of the overall illness our society is suffering from. There's no unity among people. It's very much a materialistic society. Everyone thinks everything should be safe. The government has beco

Well of course they did. This is one of those times where it's easy to see the real law of the land is whatever the government feels like doing. It's all a dog and pony show. What I find surprising is that Snowden didn't know

It's pretty clear that you're in read-only mode. You think you know the only answer so what can I tell you.

At what point did I tell OP to become an expert on IP law? Nowhere. My advice to OP was to educate himself so that no matter what he did he could be more effective. > You're not a terrible person but you've given absolutely ter

My point is you don't need to say obvious things. It's a waste of everyone's time.

A lot of people are talking about this but no one will do anything about it. It's fun to get outraged and all. But how do we actually change it? This is one reason I actually really like code camps. I got my bachelor's kicking and

You can check Craigslist > services > computer Alternatively you could find someone on Fiverr Or potentially you can try me. I've been a professional .NET developer for about 10 years but recently I decided to stop programming as

But this is the obvious answer. OP didn't need you to tell him to get a lawyer. If he had that kind of money he'd be talking to a lawyer not us. I mean I know you meant well and I know I probably sound like a negative jerk but yea

Yeah but we'll still owe a debt that maybe we'll never be able to repay.

Hi, I 1000% agree with you. I was a vegetarian for a long time and only started eating meat again for health reasons. But it was a reluctant decision and one that I hope to go back on one day. Anyways, have you ever thought about how that p

Unity in 24 hours is pretty cool. If you haven't done game development before this will open up a lot of possibilities for you and it's pretty fun. For example, not only will it show you how to create 2D and 3D games but it's

Well I dropped the golden handcuffs. So right now I'm flipping cars (replace a clutch, head gasket, etc.) driving for Lyft, and I might get a part-time job. I'm definitely not making as much money as I used to. But for me the trad

I really like that first one. Yeah that's what I was talking about.I've seen more often than not programmers just learn language syntax but very little about architecture aside from, for example, how to use MVC. Also, for example,
