Tenured professors who expect to be taken by the hand and told what to do? Bizarre.

As a PhD student, I was told to go think of a dissertation-worthy project and come back with a draft...

Game authors are welcome to do as they please, of course. But as someone who both likes video games and is quite bad at them, I've pretty much stopped buying them. Oh well...

Sorry you're having a bad time. I'm old, but can still relate.

On the codebase, yes, most are horrible, unfortunately. Try to think of it as your opportunity. If you can learn to comprehend and fix code like this, you'll always be in demand, because these messes will never end.

Try to enable more logging and debug info as best as you can, and learn to use the tools available for this.

If you're getting positive feedback, that's good. Most jobs offer little or no feedback until things go bad.

As for weight, you should let yourself up. Nobody who matters cares, and it really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things. You might find intermittent fasting interesting.

Might be useful to find someone to talk to.

Good luck.

I don't think someone that vicious has anything to tell us about the Internet.

"I'm not embarrassed by any of those tweets."

1. Indeed, I'm only talking about is, not ought. Please do complain. Leave Trump out, though. Nothing he can do about it, and if he seriously tried, he'd wake up with a horse's head in his bed.

2. If you truly believe your laptop is clean and encryption sufficiently uncrackable, go ahead. I don't think I'm that smart, myself.

Let's just say I have a lot or respect for the possibilities I'm aware of, together with a general sense that there's a lot that I don't know.

In any case, just because you usually get your laptop handed right back, it doesn't follow that you always will. If it matters to you, buy that burner.

Key takeaway: Over the last five years, hiring of white males for tech roles has declined from 47.5% to 33.3% (of total tech hires). Somewhat surprisingly, hiring of white females and all non-Asian minorities has barely budged. The major increases were in hiring of Asians, with women increasing somewhat faster proportionally.

No data on age at all. I'm guessing it would look pretty bad for those over forty.

Kudos to Google for publishing this in greater detail than ever.

He's saying he was targeted because he's known to disapprove of the Trump administration? Please. If anything, it was considerably worse prior to 2016.

A better question would be why someone technically knowledgeable would be carrying a laptop through airline security at all. As soon as it's out of your hands, you have to assume it's been blown, security-wise. Far better to just buy a burner Chromebook at your destination.

It's quite obvious that that's what they're referring to. Article titles necessarily require brevity.

Anyway, flagged in 5, 4, 3, 2, ...

Is there any reason to think desirable men have a differing distribution of libidos (vs the not desirable men)? A simpler explanation would be that they have more sex because they have more opportunity, no?

It would be nice if we could all start laughing about this stuff again.

> if men and women want sex roughly as many times, or if women want more,

In my experience, this is counterfactual.

Also, I have a hottie buddie who has a lot of sex with a lot of women. Suspect he can easily keep ten women satisfied, on average.

If it was an April 1 gag, they'd have included weight verification...
