In 2015 a group of researchers asked 59 experienced engineers at Microsoft "What makes a great software engineer?". Here's what they found. "Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms"
Oh, wait. That's some other group.

There are some good reasons that test-driven development isn’t as widely used as it is discussed. "Everybody's talking at me. I don't hear a word they're saying"

The Python Package Index (PyPI), the official repository of third-party open-source Python projects announced plans to mandate two-factor authentication requirement for maintainers of "critical" projects. Who needs security, anyway?

In this blog, I will share the incredible speed improvements you will experience when VS indexes your codebase and colorizes your C++ code for the first time. If you can't have faster code, maybe at least you can code faster?

An enormous cache of documents have been leaked from Uber, that don't exactly paint them in a good light...

Quote: Uber broke laws, duped police and secretly lobbied governments, leak reveals
Politicians create protectionist laws that limit taxi service, so Uber tries to disrupt these cartels. The Guardian, which understands nothing of economic freedom, finds this disturbing. But it's hardly surprising.

|

Agreed. Uber simply out competed the crony capitalists of the Taxi industry.

Sorry, you can classify this like that, but sending your own drivers into potentially violent situations, with attitude of "if it kicks off, it will help our cause" is beyond despicable.
"In one exchange, Kalanick dismissed concerns from other executives that sending Uber drivers to a protest in France put them at risk of violence from angry opponents in the taxi industry. “I think it’s worth it,” he shot back. “Violence guarantee[s] success.”"
They're undercutting taxis by avoiding all the rules that cover taxis, putting passengers at more risk. It's disruptive, but in all the wrong ways.
"If you don't fail at least 90 percent of the time, you're not aiming high enough."

You're picking one callous quote. That said, taxi driving a dangerous profession, Uber or not.
The rules are made to restrict competition. Of course, the story is that it's for everyone's good.

That rag has a paywall. But SCOTUS has ruled that police don't even have to show up, and that they have qualified immunity that excuses egregious behavior in many situations. People who think politics is a solution get what they deserve, but the problem is that everyone else also has to suffer.

A typical knee-jerk reaction. If I don't believe in political solutions, this must be what I want. I also want people to starve and children to go uneducated. Buffoon.

And now you sound like a Republican Christo-Fascist, who wants to overthrow the government. If you had explained how you want to fix the problem, rather than jump to name calling, you could have evaded that image. Unless you are a Christo-Fascist Republican? And if you want fix the issues you are whining about without laws, you come across as ignorant of history. So please explain yourself. From what you've said, you want to make the world better by eliminating laws.

You are quite wrong as to my political beliefs. Other than that, I'm done with you.

I never said what your political beliefs are, since I don't know them, so I can't be wrong. I only asked (if you re-read the thread closely). I did say you believe in letting people die in fires, because you are seemingly against laws and politics, and it took laws to get capitalists to obey fire codes. But this has devolved enough so I will be done as well.
Have a great day in spite of this thread.
