It's difficult to get someone to understand something when it's in their interest not to.

Thanks for posting. Looks like hysteria to me, but I'm glad to know what happened.

Indeed, SQL is a declarative language. It'd be quite shocking if short circuiting were happening.

Generally I agree and aspire to this. I do wonder, though, how I would keep track of the list of phrases I'm no longer allowed to say without being fired, shunned, or worse.

At least lately, it's become pretty obvious that WaPo and NYT are feeding us crap on a regular basis. If you go look at the source materials, you'll realize that their "neutral" summaries aren't close to neutral, o

Personally, I cannot be productive in a noisy environment (sans headphones), and I most definitely cannot be productive pair programming. (Or, good god, mob programming.) Yes, I've tried it. I've been on one or two interviews wh

Glanced at that link, and not spotting any reason to regard this person as "trash" (if indeed there ever is one). What are they saying here that is objectionable, and what is your rebuttal?

Try getting rejected at the final executive approval (i.e., their magic eight-ball) after passing the in-person day and the hiring committee. Once you've seen the inside of the hiring process, you'll never take this stuff personal

My point was that this looks quite the same from the other side of the aisle. More damningly, that article has nothing useful to add beyond ad hominems. Instead, try this: https://heterodoxacademy.org/social-science-hidden-

tldr: The half of the country that voted for the current President are all awful, stupid people, and they spend their time reading awful, stupid websites.

What happened to NIPS? Last I heard they had decided against a name change, since that was the sentiment of the survey, and even women seemed indifferent. https://nips.cc/Conferences/2018/News

Yeah, lost my account this way, even though it would have been blindingly obvious who I was. Even had a Googler buddy go to bat. No dice. If it absolutely, positively has to work, don't do it with a Google account.

This sounds good--who could object to silencing white supremacists? But recent history suggests that this will morph in very short order into simply suppressing unpopular ideas, science even. The telephone seems like a better model. Yes,

Ideas: Get some good headphones and listen to trance/edm/whatever music to get yourself in the zone. Get distractions like phones away from your desk and use a web blocker to zap crap sites like this one. Adrafanil or nicotine g

Avoiding unnecessary risk is not cowardice. In fact, most of us are paid, in part, for doing just that.

Advice from a dinosaur: Find a divorced dad who has custody of his kid(s) and is in dire need of help with raising them. Nothing is more meaningful that providing children with a good home to grow up in. Pour her soul into it. Make sure

Wow. That article is from 2009, and it really shows. Giving random compliments to strangers in 2018 is just a really bad idea. Doubly so in any kind of professional environment. Save it for your mate or your dog.

You got lost in the meta. There's a difference between someone's beliefs about evolution, which might be true, false, or nonexistent; versus evolution itself, which is a force that will act on us regardless of what we believe. Ar

"[W]e see a heat-map version of it steadily light up in the areas where the women are being grabbed: mostly the lower back, backside, and arms." This isn't exactly what the word "groped" conjures up in my mind. (I

Clarifying, I did "quit" my job, though likely I'd have been dismissed, or simply worked myself to death. This was after the settlement was signed, and I knew full well when I signed it that there would be no relief--that I&

Generally, community property will be split 50/50. Alimony would generally be set as a percentage of all income. Judges have a lot of leeway, though, and may lean considerably towards whomever seems more sympathetic (according to law
