Proud Half Black Half Korean. Not related to dave chapelle. Senior Developer. Functional Programming is overrated.

My opinions don't represent my employers.

Always on the lookout for good teaching docs for my junior devs

Hackernews makes me feel old at 35.

LeeHwang··on Margaret Atwood, a Prophet of Dystopia
Thats good point. I'm guessing from the examples I've seen.

People don't want global bureaucracy like the EU.

They don't want other nations or other people put before their own country and national interests.

They also don't want foreign meddling in their own countries, whether its through lobbying groups, foreign money or just foreign funded media.

If I had to guess, people are feeling a loss of control of their local geographical areas and lives within it, and reacting any way they can to reassert power/control. In america, you can see it from Trump, and Bernie, to things like the Texas and California Exit.

LeeHwang··on Low-Level Programming University – A roadmap to becoming a low-level programmer
This is great, but does any one have any gentler intros ? I'm trying to teach low-level programming to one of my junior devs. She graduated from a boot-camp school and is struggling a bit.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies. Alot of good links.

Sure, they are all pursuing a globalization agenda.

I have no personal feelings on it, but it seems a growing portion of people in america- trump, england- brexit, and now france - marine are opposing it.

Yea Voter ID is adopted across the world. It's a nonsensical argument it is meant to disenfranchise people in 2017.

Example of Countries with voter id laws: India ,Libya,Ireland, Spain, Greece, France, Malta, Belgium, and Italy

LeeHwang··on How one tech company ditched its brogrammers
I'd assume nothing as long as there are making money in a purely capitalistic view.

It seems a vocal percentage on hackernews want companies to have diversity as part of their "social contract". This is probably a filter bubble.

I'm not sure what the average american thinks though, I'm inclined to think they don't care by looking at all the democrats losses in the last 8 years.
