It's creating a culture that is welcoming to more individuals, regardless of sex, race, and background.

It's not bullying. In fact, I'd say active code maintainers who receive these requests and don't _reasonably_ accommodate them are the real bullies.

Hiding file extensions in Windows is a setting, too.

How did you get into this industry? I'm fascinated by the nonchalant discussion that goes into developing animated features, it's been a dream of mine to penetrate the space.

I'm a senior engineer, made my own renderer and software "suite" to go with it as a hobby project for the resume, but I'm not sure what else I can make to get my foot in the door. Do you have any general advice?

Without the play store? Which was wiped to make a clean android installation? :)

Maybe they could figure it out with some help but I'm certain that's frustrating for many consumers regardless.

Two different arguments here honestly. Apps should never be permanently embedded.

>A factory reset should get you plain Android, not Android plus whatever your carrier got paid to dump on your phone.

Disagree. It's nice for the technically-inclined but terrible for everyone else.

It's scummy that carriers get paid to shovel this crap on, but I'd think many consumers expect some of these apps and suffer without them. They just want their phones "to work."

Adding sugar to cake, then?

I would succeed in this interview but question the role. Critical thinking and abstract thought seem discouraged with all these "do it or fail" questions.

If this is really a JS role, a Node developer could potentially be an excellent fit with a little CSS and jQuery refresher but would fail the interview miserably.

Especially interesting with the whole Looking Glass ordeal.

The latter bit seems unnecessary.

Immediate suggestions that come to mind?

So this is only applies to political advertisements? The title is misleading and should be changed.

Sometimes there isn't any fog and you're just that guy with the fog horn :)

I would argue that's truly subjective. What's the definition of good content moderation?

Each platform has its purpose.

A career that is emotionally taxing and financially wild can still be a career. I never said it wouldn't be hard.

It is a valid career path! It would be foolish to not have a backup plan though.

Rightfully so, how can this be seen any other way? It's the manufacturer's responsibility to make a product that doesn't burn down your house.

npm had 24 packages at some point too :) Rome wasn't build in a day.

It's so childish putting optimistic people down.

Our economy, habits, and mindset can change with a great deal of work and energy. People are becoming more connected than ever before, and with that we can build a new kind of social momentum.

Hey, you're right, things suck now, but it doesn't have to be like this.

Absolutely dirty. There is nothing productive about adding this layer of tension between employers and employees.

Sure, people are going to stop smoking, but the change isn't coming from within. I'm certain this will only breed contempt.

But consider the company's perspective.

If you're engaging in unethical behavior that has a market, and you want to stop the behavior, withdrawing from the market definitely doesn't stop it. It encourages a new player to step up and have an advantage over you, and worse, repeat that unethical behavior.

That seems sensible to me, what else would you expect?

6 weeks is quite the break, personally. Does that increase productivity more than 3 or 4 weeks, for example?

Not saying we don't deserve that sort of time off, but it seems somewhat excessive given the circumstances.

Thanks for sharing the thought process and for crediting the book, ordering it now :)

The reality is harsh but the discussion doesn't have to be.

>Stubborn people are more successful then non-stubborn people if you look at statistics.

Success by what metric and which statistics?

Beyond amusing, it's great writing. I see we've already changed the title but I wish we hadn't! I bet it's really persuasive for offenders.

1. Lull the reader into a false sense of security: This article is going to help you with a problem!

2. Really dig into it: Share a highly relevant story and connect with the reader's current frustration. Make it as clear as possible that the reader is understood.

3. Now that you have a shared foundation, introduce your argument.

Discussions that start with the argument immediately don't stick as well to a lot of people. Give them a reason to listen.

The Hacker News effect :)

There are at least 93 other people who clicked "I have this question too" on the post.

It's definitely an empathy problem.

I wouldn't be surprised by an empathy-intelligence correlation but I don't think it's relevant here anyway; You don't have to be intellectually driven if you're not emotionally driven.

I think this highlights the concerns from "unemotional" types:

>One should plan for irrationality.

When we say that, what are we inviting them to do exactly? I think we're asking them to be more forgiving and less judgmental when people act irresponsibly.

People who aren't emotionally driven don't see the intrinsic value in that. We're asking them to do something they'd rather not do, and the typical unemotional person would decline the request.

I just read that a little while ago. Terrible.
