I see it more as being about acceptance. If your wife dies, at some point, you will have to accept that your wife died and move on. This doesn't mean that you are cold or insensitive to it, it just means that you have accepted and proc

I like to think of it as that; you should have principles, such as trying to write DRY code, but any principle taken too far will end up being a bad thing. Don't be an extremist. Practice a sensible balance in everything you do. This g

I think it's such a huge topic that it's really hard to summarize on an online message board, but in very broad terms I think you could say that the feeling I have is that there used to be a social contract between men and women w

I think men are checking out of relationships because they feel they do not benefit them anymore. Not out of malice or even spitefulness (although there is some of that among some groups), but rather because so many things in our culture an

I feel like the term "alpha" is deeply problematic since different people use it to mean completely different things. Many people associate it with the toxic traits of dominating others through aggression. While other's use i

Depends on how you look at games as a form of entertainment. If you see them as long term investments that you intend to give hundreds or thousands of hours of your time, then yes I agree with your stance. But if you see games more like an

I don't know much about codecs, but why isn't the music separated its own audio track so one can turn it on/off themselves in the browser? I'm guessing the current codecs being used doesn't support it, but couldn&#x

As a developer who works a lot with frontend, this kind of feedback is gold! I wish I could get testing/usability reports like this.

Morbid can be good. I feel like more parents need to remind their kids of death now and then. I know that sounds crazy, but I really think that a healthy knowledge and acceptance of death is a big part of what makes a well developed and hea

As tragic as this is. I think they should plant a new tree in the same location. I know it won't be the same, it won't heal the wound, at least not for hundreds of years, if ever. But it's just how society and the world is. G

Plus all news are biased one way or another nowadays. It doesn't matter if you're left or right, the news you're getting is spun in a certain way to push whatever narrative your particular media outlet wants to push. This, in

Completely agree, it has always bothered me as well. To me it (strongly) implies rushing, and I don't believe that constantly keeping your team in a stressful state where you are always rushing or 'sprinting' towards the next

For me, things like coding is only interesting in the context of being useful as a tool to do cool stuff. I understand that some people like coding in itself, for the intellectual stimulation, but for me it's just a means to an end. I

I largely agree, but the one thing I have been wanting to do sometimes is too be able to put marks/indicators on the scrollbar of where important pieces of information is in the flow. A lot like chrome does when you use ctrl+f to searc

The author claims that people's offering of help is not true help since it's for selfish reasons. I would like to argue that this is natural and necessary to some extent. People are motivated by what benefits them personally. All

I think they could be, if they lead to subscriptions and long-term success for his channel. Not saying it was in any way ethically justifiable, just that from a purely machiavellian perspective I think it could make sense.

I find it fascinating how the higher-cost and therefore counter-intuitive alternative, can sometimes be the better choice, due to long-term secondary effects that doesn't show up on said paper. Reminds me of the value of developing you

I had no idea about this either. For me this screams of a dystopian future civilization (which is apparently now) where even access to the outdoors has been limited due to overpopulation and is now regulated through a lottery. I mean, I get

This sort of thinking about something being 'always bad' or 'always good' is in itself always bad. Not sure if that is a paradox or not, be that as it may, in my experience it is true.

For me, the lack of editing, scripting and structure is exactly what I find refreshing about podcasts. They feel more natural, more flawed, more raw, but therefore also more honest and more human. But to each their own. Not saying there&#x2

What if this was about black people right to sit at the front of the bus? Would you still say: "Why do you want to share your opinions on controversial topics? What do you get out of it? No one cares about your opinions on apartheid ex

I think one big factor in this is that as a developer, you don't (normally) have slow periods. A lot of other occupations will have their stressful high-tempo periods, but then they have the lower-tempo periods in between. But in softw

Honestly, if it were up to me, my solution to this would be to not solve it all. There's only a finite amount of time and energy available in any organization and you have to make sure you spend it on the problems that are worth solvin

Yes, I've been thinking a lot about this as well. I believe people deserve second chances, the opportunity to earn a form of redemption, to let the past stay in the past and be able to move forward. But with how much of our lives are b

Is anybody surprised by this? Manipulative people will always use whatever is the popular/dominant ideology of their time and location to get any sort of benefit they can. It might be manifested as being the most fervent communist, fas

I don't think it's helpful to title an article like this when the content is essentially just saying that DDG is not perfect. I fear a lot of people will just read the title and go back to using - that other search engine - which

To become wise, not to become rich or famous. Elon Musk is obviously an extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and capable man, but I don't think he's necessarily very wise.

As a software developer who has worked within the university world for about 15 years, this seems very common to me. In my experience, most developers don't actually DO very much. They do some small thing here and there, but they mostl
