Great advice.

Thing is, unless you plan ahead, almost everyone cuts expenses far too little and too late.

I'd add figure out your lines of retreat. If shit happens, what goes first - cable, phone contract, nice car etc.? If shit keeps happening what's next? When?

Figure it out beforehand with family whilst calm over a nice bottle of wine. You won't be making rational decisions after the shit hits the fanm and your partner is stressing over how you're going to keep feeding the kids....

Common scenario seems to run something like this. Lose job, burn normal money for six months or a year whilst "I'm bound to get a new job this week", and only then think about significant restructuring. Fast forward another six months and only now is cable tv or mobile contract being looked at. Hmm, maybe we need a cheaper car. "Sorry guys can't afford to go out this month". And so it goes until you lose the house.

I lost touch with a great friend and his family in the dot com fun who went through something like this. He looked increasngly ill and stressed until one day their phone no longer rang. Never did find out what happened to them. Couple of other friends went through similar, though rather less dramatically.

I went from a higher rate than I dreamed possible to unemployable for six months+ literally overnight. As a contractor at the time I was poison to the permanent market. (Brilliant interview, but we think you'll get bored... etc)

The difference is, these architectures grew inside a culture without external influences, and reached some maturity before being imported and remixed by others.
I agree. A lot of folks have worked on the latter but I haven't seen much of the former and had to build it myself.

In both cases what I did was highly specific to the spec of the WordPress site. I've yet to come up with something generic enough and well-built enough that I'm comfortable sharing. That's a problem with the WordPress ecosystem in general I think.

The key moment to understanding Wordpress was realizing that its use of hooks and filters are the publish-subscribe pattern. You can just hook the `parse request` action and then do whatever the hell you like as long as you make sure that the `query` (and ultimately `wp` object) that comes out at the end of the process doesn't have something unexpected in it (tricky!)
It's just another link on the line below the title. After a certain amount of time has elapsed, I don't think the option is available anymore, so that may be the case here. Also I seem to recall that there may be a random component to display of this option? There was some talk about "meta-flagging", i.e. the mods would review vouch actions and penalize the vouching abilities of crap vouchers. It's not clear that ever happened, however. The other possibility is that you're simply below the threshold. 9 days ago a user with ~1800 karma reported having vouched, so probably at some point before you get there you'll start seeing this option.
You're not talking about rooted people in the same way I am...

I'm talking about homeowners, you're talking about landlords who charge rent.

I'm talking about people who actually live in the homes they own and have to deal with homelessness in their neighborhood.

You're talking about landlords who own lots of property in SF but go home to their mansions in Sausalito or Palo Alto.

My point exactly agrees with you. SF needs less landlords and more homeowners.
I had an epiphany about 7 years ago that computers are only collective human effort. Everything you touch is an idea, thought, and implementation by some person.

Programming ought to be a rich dive into cultural consciousness, like a sociologist living with some remote tribe. Instead, we get caught up in the fetishization and marvel of the machine itself; as if it all has descended from God and is part of nature.

This is a detriment against seeing our part in the flow of the giant anarchistic relay race that is technology; when we dip our feet into this moving river we are part of the river as much as a twig or a rock - disrupting and modifying the flow; placing it in new directions. But only if we empower ourselves.

Technology is anywhere from a culminate expression of culture to its artifact.

I had no issue interpreting the likely intended meaning of this: This person is saying they have been keeping up with new technologies the past 14 years (such as RoR, NodeJS now, but years ago Java held that spot, etc.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity helps here especially these days when typing on a mobile phone can easily lead to typos and mistakes.
nobody wants to hear it. the cause of the 08 financial crisis tracks directly back to congressional republicans (gramm) and democrat executives (clinton) unwinding sensible regulation from the great depression on the delusional belief that we'd gotten better at "understanding" and quantifying "risk".
That seems to be true of any business that accepts credit cards.

That's great. Hopefully Oculus moves towards feature parity. Can you activate it using the wands or an Xbox controller? Does it work well if you are in game?

No, the West does not need to respond in kind. Unilateral free trade is better than tit-for-tat escalations. Let them protect their own; in the long run we'll be better off for allowing free-trade even when our counterparties do not.
This is a fun game in many domains. I have friends in Vancouver who have benefited greatly from the housing boom there. I encourage them to answer the question, "If I had 1.5 million dollars, would I spend every penny of it on a 1000 sq/ft house in Vancouver?"

Probably not; yet, they hang on.
I agree that I can't understand how jet.com will stay in business with their current shipping practices. I have ordered over 100 pounds of cat litter from them at below market prices all with free shipping.

Every other order I've had (3) something has been broken during shipping (as well as two of the cat litters) due to piss poor shipping practices. They put a whole bunch of stuff including crushable and fragile stuff along with bulky heavy stuff in one HUGE box. Of course all the bulky stuff crushed the fragile stuff, who thought that was a good idea? So they not only refunded the broken items but gave me $5 credit.

On top of that they gave 30% off my first order and 15-20% off the next few orders.

That's not a sustainable business.

They also had a couple of really good AMEX offers in the last six months but I don't know if they pay for that or AMEX does.
What? This has to be redundant as most existing laws prevent a convicted individual of being within certain distances of children, school zones, etc.
I agree with your thinking. What troubles me more is that even the people of the country seem to be very apathetic about doing anything. Take this petition for example:

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/hold-accountable-...

Two signatures? Really? Why are we also not setting examples of these people who knowingly destroyed lives?

EDIT: I see that people are using the downvote button as a disagree button. Please, enlighten me as to why CEO's who knowingly committed fraud shouldn't be charged with wire fraud? I'm legitimately curious.
> the reason for this is that the aesthetic works as a costly signalling mechanism.

I suspect these materials are mass-produced and thus much cheaper than having a wholly authentic (but probably very expensive and risky) design.

Most of the replies here focus on the gaming experience. What about for entertainment (don't mean porn)? I'm unfamiliar with the Vive/Oculus ecosystem but is there not a huge opportunity for live content (concerts, sports etc.)? I'm also a developer and can see a huge amount of potential for all sorts of content-based applications.

> Why does doubting yourself, lacking confidence in yourself, make you a better a programmer?

I prefer to say it in a slightly different manner.

Ask yourself: could I have implemented this better? Better can imply more efficient, readable, in terms of design ...

Essentially realizing the fact that one might not have done a perfect (or even a reasonable) implementation and that it might be possible to improvise upon.

I've often found myself redoing pieces after thinking about the maintainability, readability aside from worrying about functional aspects.
In my home town people have put out lures on pokestops around the local hospital for the hospitalised kids.
I can respect this.

On a personal level, I think it's a positive movement. Self-identifying as queer does take some of the power of the pejorative away; these days I hear the term exclusively used as self-identification or for shared interests in the non-heteronormative community. While you don't have to take a part in those communities, they do explicitly have your interest as gay at heart. Meanwhile, bigots and employers do not distinguish between non-cis subgroups, so the shared front DOES make sense in approaching CERTAIN problems. Others, like the ability for gay men to donate blood, are not shared and do not make sense as primarily "queer" causes.

> Actually, why not just call us 'sex weirdos'? It's got the same meaning coming from straight people.

What other synonym would you recommend for "non-heteronormative"?
I lived in the conservative part of America, but I've also visited so called liberal cities. Believe me to Nordic like myself nothing in America is liberal. It is first and foremost a conservative society from my perspective. Facebook is supposed to promote liberal values and yet if you post a painting of a nude women or breastfeeding you immediately get into trouble. It betrays the religious conservative mindset dominating America.

Actually it is hard to talk about this with an America because you got your labels all wrong. You label things liberal and conservative in ways nobody else does which confuse more than clarifies.

The economic policy by e.g. the republican party is primarily liberal. Their social policies are conservative. The democrats are generally socially liberal and somewhat less liberal in economic policy. But neither follows what we normally associate in the rest of the world with left wing economic policy. That would be labeled socialist or social democratic.
So cutting funding is increasing regulation how?
> The game may also pose special risks to children as it encourages players to explore physical locations to win points.

Oh the horror of children exploring the physical world. They're not safe unless kept inside!
While I think sick kids should be allowed entertainment (I know how much it helped me, books, games, etc), the nature of Pokemon Go is sort of like bemoaning that a kid's wing doesn't have a basketball court either. Basically while I'm kidding I don't think it's a good thing to get their hopes up about playing when they're undergoing treatment. If it gets worked so they can, all the better (like a small outing for those able?), just kind of spit balling.
Why wealthy Qatar keeps the money flowing to Gaza
I don't know if I have ever experienced actual ageism. Here's what I've found, though:

- If you want somebody who will work 14-hour days, well, that eliminates most people over 40.

- If you want to pay appropriate to someone who's 25, well, that eliminates most people over 40.

- If your company is a pit, if your management is insane, if your coworkers are psychopaths, well, most people over 40 have seem that enough times to not go there.

I've seen companies advertising for "senior software engineer". They want 5-7 years of experience. I've got 30. They don't want to pay for 30. Is that ageism? Or am I just too expensive? Or does my experience exceed the hiring manager's ability to correctly value?

I'm not saying that ageism doesn't exist. But I am saying that there are some reasons other than ageism that older software engineers find it harder to get hired.
> The university was originally for well-off children of aristocracy or those training for religious studies. Perhaps those students pursued "education" purely for education's sake... along with the "grand tour" of Europe, etc. Those young adults didn't have to get a job so the "purpose" of university schooling wasn't intermingled with impure motives of economics. (E.g. I get my rich dad's inheritance regardless of how well I learn Greek/Latin).

I'll restrict this comment to education for the aristocracy rather than religious functionaries. Its traditional function is well-understood, and bears little relationship to what you might think of as "education", the development of knowledge, today. The purpose of elite education is to acculturate the elite into a harmonious social group, with shared values and a shared cultural background -- such that, when two elites meet for the first time, they can interact comfortably and don't come across as off-putting to one another. So you have things like classics education; it doesn't really matter which texts are "classics", and their content is of no use in itself -- but as long as everyone has read the same "classic" works, they'll get each other's references and feel that they're all part of the same group.
negative interest rates and governments pretending like they're managing their nations' finances wisely at zero and negative interest rates. the biggest threat to global economic stability and growth are out of control governments borrowing at a rate never before seen in human history.

So if you are in the same place as a Pokestop you can drop an item called a "lure module" that attracts Pokemon to it for 30 mins—if you're a sick kid in a hospital with a lure in it, you get Pokemon to catch every few minutes. Better than nothing and there's some heartwarming stories about it.

_I have done one major project with Node._

She was talking about details of NodeJS, in particular "all the latest packages".
It's funny that this is just becoming a thing. I heard about flag-driven releases from somebody in DevOps at Facebook last year, and how integral they were to their release process there.

I ran my own SaaS as a self-taught, solo developer from about 2002-2008, and I used to insert feature flags all the time to test stuff out. Later, when I joined the corporate world and learned more industry standard best practices, I assumed feature flags were just another bad practice I needed to leave behind with my old PHP project. But come to think of it, it was very convenient to:

- test things on a small scale live,

- preview features with the biz folks,

- and it was almost always very smooth to remove the flag and make a feature live, because it was already part of the program's overall control flow.

Funny the things you come upon out of ignorance, versus the drive to do things some way because that's the way everybody does them, and the good/innovative ideas that may fall through the cracks in the rush from the former to the latter.
And we wonder why they keep gaining weight...

So, um, where does one find contracting work in the UK? As a programmer, obviously.

It's the first time in five years I'm withouth permanent work. I think I might give it a try to do a bit of freelancing or contracting for a change.

Where does one even get started though?
Imagine really bad shit happened, your company went bust. You had to take a 30% (or 40%) pay cut. Could you survive?

OK, now take that 30% and transfer it into a savings account before anything else. It doesn't exist. Your pay is what's left. Now budget expenses and life.

Start living when you have a little insurance. Even six months buys some peace of mind.

If you have a family you have to modify a little to ensure they can have a tolerable life meanwhile, and a little time out etc. but you get the idea.

If you keep this idea going even in good times you'll be buying rental properties with it eventually.
Marketing!

I really wish the marketing cycle was reversed, where I post what I'm looking for and businesses respond with offers, because when I'm looking to buy something I would love to be shown options and offered discounts.

That is not what it means: http://philosophy.lander.edu/oriental/charity.html

People have different backgrounds and and experiences. It's reasonable for a person to think "fully statically typechecked" to mean "a program which is statically typechecked, and it does so to the entire program". That would apply to languages such as C, C++ and Go, which are statically typed, but give ways to subvert the type system. You probably mean something closer to "a program which has fully sound static typing", more along the lines of the MLs or Haskell, which have a richer type system which you cannot subvert.

We're here for interesting discussion. Derision is not a part of interesting discussion. You're relatively new here, so I figure it's worth explaining this explicitly.

This is really dumb. The thing they should be trying to eliminate with this would be Pokestops at a sex offender's home, but that's on Niantic's end not the person on the list and requires an up to date registry. Additionally, though I have not looked at the demographics, I imagine a large part of this games base is users >18. The name 'lure' sounds like it could be scary to a politician that doesn't know how this game works yet is legislating it anyway, but in fact is not a random map placement, so I'm not even sure what this is accomplishing.
You even need consent and proof of it. Cold email can't have that consent...

Thanks, Nixon.
Depends on whether they cost the same. If the experience costs more, does it bring enough value to the position I'm hiring for to be worth the cost?

That's the key to getting a job with 20 years of experience. You need to be able to convince the hiring manager that you're worth the extra money in that job. (And then the hiring manager needs people above him that will let him spend the extra money.)
My girlfriend has been mostly stuck in bed as she waits for a broken leg to heal. Hasn't stopped her from playing the hell out of Pokemon Go. Granted some of it is me driving her around town, but she still plays it a lot in bed with incense items to draw Pokemon in.

Also when we went on vacation two weeks ago she had a great time at night since there was two pokestops within range from our bed. We just added lures and it was quite fun. A gym was just a little ways down the hall, too, so I walked her phone down the hall to get her into the gym (my Pokemon were too low-powered still).

This article about people wanting and doing their best to play the game while having physical disabilities seems pertinent: http://kotaku.com/pokemon-go-is-depressing-for-fans-with-phy...

I say let hospitalized kids have as much fun with it as they can. If it's not good enough from their bed, then let them decide to play something else, but don't decide for them.

Absolutely agree with what you are both saying, in that DC enabled Wall St by foolishly deregulating investment banking and banks.

Of course, that does not absolve Wall Street of blame for managing risk poorly, for fraudulent behavior, for negligence, and for short-term risk taking over long-term growth.
