It's amazing what a small team with a great vision can do. They had the expertise and delivered what customers wanted.

It's also sad how a large company can lose track of what made its previous products so great. EA tried to "innovate" SimCity 5, except they were "innovating" the game for themselves (e.g. get users online to make it easier to buy upgrades), not the end-user. Gamers did not want a multiplayer-based city simulation with limited scale and broken mechanics.

You should start with what interests you. Passion is a strong motivator for learning.

That is a horrible example: a physical product that was assembled by third-world clock-punchers in mind-numbing, depressing factories.

Cannabis is less harmful than tobacco because it can be ingested or vaporized. There are no Tobacco Brownies or candies.

My tablet has been replaced by my Chromebook for everyday usage. I like my keyboard and not having to "set up" the screen for viewing. With a tablet you have to hold it in your hands or get a fancy case or prop it up against something. And I cannot escape my love for the tactile keyboard! Does anyone actually enjoy writing and editing emails or comments on a tablet versus a keyboard?

The dual mating strategies of women, who classify men into lovers or providers.

Find an entry level job for on-paper resume experience and keep jumping ship to better paid positions.

You have no paid work experience and no portfolio and no open source code so no one is going to pay you $80K. Gotta work your way up.

I started working at my university as a student webdev. Then got an entry level job at a firm, then kept finding better paid positions. Employers want to see work experience.

Ever notice how most "Social Justice Warriors" are women who love to stir up drama? As the NYTimes article states, this incident was highly entertaining to many people.

Using PHP to give an example of why the Web sucks is like saying MS-DOS sucks because of QBasic.

The Web was built to deliver interlinked hypertext documents and it succeeds at this goal.

"I see two things that could help the web ... a standardized and modern UI API, like any decent OS has, and a means of executing any other programming languages on the client side."

The author is trying to redefine the Web as an Operating System.

idiot -> moron -> retard -> special -> mentally challenged -> person with learning difficulties

As a boy, the word "retard" was part of my vocabulary. I used it to describe concepts that were dumb or irrational. I continued to use it into adulthood without thinking. I did not realize how offensive it was until my girlfriend called me out on it. So now I just use the word "dumb." I hope I am not offending any groups now.

The PHP ecosystem is huge. There are so many different platforms and frameworks. I can see myself as a PHP dev the rest of my career. It's easy money and if you're a decent dev you automatically stand out from everyone else.

Shaming male hetrosexuality is Feminism 101. Yes, I am attracted to young, maternal, intelligent women who like to smile.

It better be. She raised $158K on Kickstarter to make these YouTube videos. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/566429325/tropes-vs-wom...

Have you ever met a seriously ugly girl with an incredible personality? I have, and it sucks. No fire, no passion, no sexual desire. She might as well be a dude. Physical attraction is important for a romantic relationship.

To put that quote in context of who said it, you don't sympathize because you're not a gay black woman who gets called "Halle Berry" by her white, straight, male co-workers. I believe in the Tumblr world, an animated "Check your privilege" GIF would be inserted here.

It's actually about optical discs. But "CD" is the vernacular for optical discs. Kind of like "hard drive." Modern laptops don't have hard drives--they have solid-state drives, but people still refer to their storage as a "hard drive."

"Optimal teamwork" = filling your day with meetings meetings and more meetings!

The power dynamic of sex influences men's inappropriate behavior. The investor no doubt had a sexual fantasy when he invited the female CEO over to his house and began drinking wine and massaging her. He wanted his investment to be symbolic, to reduce her to a whore. This is misogyny.

You're not a thinker--you're a procrastinator.

There a deep emotional issues causing your anxiety, probably from your childhood. You need to get out of your head. You're stuck in an endless loop.

So, the problem is the workplace is too masculine because there are too many men in science and engineering.

Except if you do a search for "women leaving workforce" you'll find it's a trend for middle-aged women across all fields.

The Fed's obsession with trying to control the market is horrifying. QE is a manipulation of capitalism. If this truly is a bubble, a crash will devastate the economy and take out housing with it. A third recession will have no easy fixes.

I refuse to become emotionally invested in G+ because Google is infamous for shutting down products that aren't used by the majority of its users. Reading all the negative comments from this post reaffirms my decision.

This is more akin to literature. Many stories are full of men, but this doesn't mean they are irrelevant to women. No one is purposely trying to exclude you.

~3 hours per day. When you become specialized it's easy to complete work quickly. The salary is paying you to be reliable.

For some people the difficulty level of life is on "Easy."

The film implies he was a victim and does not criticize his suicide, only the laws and people who drove him to kill himself. Martyrdom: "a display of feigned or exaggerated suffering to obtain sympathy or admiration."

The average American is not wealthy. The median net worth is $45K [1], which is below Japan, Canada, Australia and much of Western Europe.
