Isn't that already the case worldwide? I live in Russia and all schools are routinely vaccinated every autumn here.

Not making your bad could be healthy as it helps killing dust mite: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10493-006-9003-8

What it does it makes people mention this word less often. This is helping forget history. To have it repeated sooner - in some other form, using different words.

> They’re not even asking for their love to be returned though.

This is true love!

Calories(fast carbs) are not bad for you if you go and spend them on some useful physical/mental activity right after you consumed them.

> But all civilized countries have no death penalty for good reasons.

Civilized like in 'western civilization'? E.g. USA? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_Unit...

They present on Windows because gpu (driver) vendors choose spend tons of their money to make them happen. And they spend their money exactly why? Because they see their profit in Windows pc market.

Exactly! Next time please use 'organic' toxins!

Imagine there are giant creatures(like 5-6 meter tall) and they are proportionally stronger than you. They follow you everywhere and(though they wash and feed you) they also sometimes hit you with their huge palms?

> Personally, what annoys me the most about TDD I've seen in the wild are two things

It's like saying that one is annoyed by programming in general because he's seen too many horrible things done with it! Anything can be abused, TDD is not an exception.

> your tests become more complicated than the tested code

Well, then don't tdd that code on unit level. Keep some high-level(smoke, integration etc) tests that executes it , relax and write/design it without TDD the best way you can.

> Tests affecting the structure - this is IMO a strong code smell.

Yes, and this smell (by definition) shows you a flaw in the code design. TDD helped to identify this. Apparently)

Still, some other countries are helping - http://asiancorrespondent.com/2015/11/indonesias-annual-peat...

"Ok, they've outplayed us in our game. Lets call this game terrible and start a different one with new rules!"

In other words - "to each according to his needs"?

“This whole bulk of the population is being seduced into thinking that they can just go out and pursue their dream anytime, but it’s not true.”

Cool. Know your place, leave enterpreneurship to blue bloods - that's the conclusion?

> A saner way to handle repos is to recognize that it's not necessary for people to have the full history of everything in the repository stored on their local machine most of the time.

Local history enables rebasing. Of course you can do it without local history already present, say in SVN you'd use separate branches for changes and 'rebased' changes where you merge your work on top of some new state of trunk. But this involvs creating branches(and at cleast one checkout for separate branch folder) and communicating with the server(takes time). This all means that people almost never do this. With git rebase is a snap. But of course one can live without rebase, it's not oxygen or something.

> Most people don't want to use such words and are glad they aren't used in normal conversation. They don't miss cross-burnings; they don't miss similarly violent words.

Most people don't have this tradition of "cross-burning" in their past and therefore don't attach any negative/violent meaning to the "n-word".

Pefectly fine I one takes full responsibility for own advice.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Russia#/media/Fil... This is life expectancy in Soviet Union - peaked at around 74 years(for females) before the Perestroyka was initiated. And started to 'plummet' only when SU was no more.

well, "writing books" is "doing"

I've used word "replace" in another comment about pair-programming. It feels now that it's a trend in "cargo-cult-agile" to somehow inverse agile manifesto principles. E.g. replace understanding of how team should work with a formal sertified scrum process - "you do iterations, standups and stuff - you fine!" Burn-down carts and sheer numbers of closed tasks disguise real state of the software being developed(just create more tasks and then split them to create volume).

Standups can't replace pair programming

"It's not that these managers are incompetent or bad-intentioned"

+1. A "manager" can't replace a "team". And having a "team" is one of the key aspects of being agile(this is what "peope and interactions" is about).

Wow, please, easy mister Obama, nobody's going to take you Peace Prize back!

Yea, you're right. But this whole story is a lot about "exagerration" leading to brutal consequences. You remember - Adria overheard just one single innocent word(the joke itself wasn't innocent but pretty cool for techies). And (suddenly!) imagined herself a rapists target. And she was saved from their violent desires only by asking help from conference officials! Then everyone finds out that Hank is a brutal sexist, apparently! And you're saying "a bit of a stretch"! Here's a stretch - I believe he should've been thankful that was just fired and not electrocuted as sexism treatment that I'm sure was planned as the next logical move!

That's what terrorists do - they are trying to make an impression that their possible actions are much for dredful that what they'r asking from you. But it doesn't make you particularly bad if you feel scared, does it? And act out of fear? Like giving up something yours - one of your employees or, say, one of your freedoms?

> If there's anyone worse than Adria in this story, it's both Hank's and Adria's former employers.

Worse? One (presumably) could've had a ruined business due to DDoS which could've led to much more layoffs than just one-I'm-very-sorry-for Adria. Hanks' employer could've had much more troubles than simply loosing money - by having a "black-jewish-feminist-hater" in his staff.

"what would have happened" - suprising to see it here, in comments about a science-related article. The fact is that the most evil, biggest and thoughest army of all times was defeated(with enormous participation of the "western" allies, though). And still, it's kinda "doubtful" that Stalin was somewhat maybe a tiny bit good at commandment...

I believe that the page you referenced to is broken. I.e. no videos or code samples on, see screenshot - http://snag.gy/lMAp8.jpg

Cool! One should be able to run his code by pressing something like Ctrl/Alt-Enter, instead of reaching for mouse all the time.
