It's your decision. Personally, think I'd take the offer and live to fight another day with valuable lessons learned. Especially the one regarding a sustainable workweek. Good luck.
It might be better to have runtime system load code dynamically when necessary, without programmer to care about this, e.g. on first invocation, maybe pre-loading it based on call statistics from previous app runs. People implement this already (I tried this too - https://github.com/avodonosov/pocl)

I obviously didn't "meet the bar", but it's not obvious to me which bar I missed.

In my estimation I clobbered the phone tech screen. I clobbered all of their board work except the first early morning one. I did sort of muddle through that one. I got through it, but not with all that much glitter and glam.

Hmmm, no, that's not accurate. You specify a folder serving static content and the HTTP path is resolved against that folder. e.g.

router.route("/*").pipe(new HTTPFileController("web/");
router.route("/files/*").pipe(new HTTPFileController("something_else/");

An HTTP request for /foo.html returns web/foo.html. An HTTP request for /foo/bar.html returns web/foo/bar.html.

An HTTP request for /files/xyz.jpg returns the something_else/xyz.jpg.

If the HTTP path is a directory, then index.html is automatically appended to it. This is a brief overview of the referenced documentation above.

> But, there is a lot to be learned from system that just work.

From the hacker ethics by Stephen Levy:

> https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hacker_ethic&oldi...

"Access to computers—and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works—should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!

Levy is recounting hackers' abilities to learn and build upon pre-existing ideas and systems. He believes that access gives hackers the opportunity to take things apart, fix, or improve upon them and to learn and understand how they work. This gives them the knowledge to create new and even more interesting things. Access aids the expansion of technology."

I didn't have an intuition for this, so I took a shot in the dark as a baseline. Wolfram Alpha suggests that the Golden Gate bridge was about $350M in modern money, and given length and height, I'd say they're pretty comparable. They're both within probably $25M of what you'd sort of expect of each other, with the Golden Gate being a little longer (0.3 miles) and the one you're referencing is much lower (GG is 120m higher).

Now, I'd guess there's some debate if the Golden Gate was worth it, but I think in the long run these sorts of things define regions and become essential.

EDIT: Noting I already did the 1930s money conversion.
Both cases mean much more expensive plastics.
Not very. They typically either lose, lose so badly that they are forced to rewrite their contracts, or claim victory after being forced to pay the employee for the time they'd be prevented from working.

The problem is, if you're an individual, it's a huge pain in the ass to duke this sort of thing out. You might even get unlucky in a cut-and-dry case, simply by virtue of not having much money to spend on it.

This isn't a dynamic that will continue indefinitely. Similar to how individuals move on from events where they were wronged in years past, society will move on regarding many of the hot button issues today. For example, you don't see people hawing and hemming about women's suffrage these days.

Plastics are pretty bad for the world, and not so much impossible to replace, as much as they are plentiful cruft that's merely incidentally practical.

Synthesizing organic compounds sounds pretty reasonable given our modern advanced awareness of chemistry, the liklihood that we'll be able to use renewable energy to offset the overhead of synthesis. Just so long as we don't write checks on these kinds of ideas before we can actually cash them.

We're not quite at the point where even the "comparable" cloud services across clouds are drop-in compatible with each other, so this is not going to be possible for a while for reasons not related to Terraform.

You could spend your time learning either a vendor-specific tool (CFN), or a vendor agnostic one (Terraform). Since Terraform can do a lot of what CFN does, it may make sense to spend your time learning Terraform instead.

Edit: not sure about CFN, but Terraform is open source:

The cost of living in Vancouver is just as high as the cost of living in Seattle. This is after the Canadian dollar tanked. In fact, right now, the cost of buying a house in Seattle is much, much lower.

Engineer wages in Seattle were ~30-100% higher - before the Canadian dollar tanked. Now they are ~50-160% higher.

There's another similar issue with how EC2 security group rules are encoded: you can encode them either as ingress/egress stanzas on an "aws_security_group" resource, or you can attach rules to a security group resource with separate "aws_security_group_rule". You can't mix the two approaches on a single security group resource.

We adopted the ingress/egress stanza on security group resource approach.

If we ever wanted to change to the other approach (as described in the article), I don't think I would do state surgery by hand or even use "terraform state mv". I would:

1. change terraforming to generate .tf files and tfstates the way I want
2. remove the security groups from my config and my state
3. use terraforming to regenerate the .tf files and tfstate

Consumption wont decrease unless your goal is to just make everyone poor.

Employers would simply double their work force and employees would have two jobs. Companies are always going to scale to meet market demands so if the goal is to benefit the environment this wont work. Deficits however are creating consumption despite a lack of market demand. That's why balancing the budget is so beneficial.

Depending on the specifics, an alternative is to break that "while(0)" loop into a function and use "return" instead of break.

Even more of an alternative (and would only be a good idea in certain circumstances) is, in a language with destructors, to make an object created at the top with a destructor for that last block of code, so you can throw out the loop and use return instead of break. This would also work with Golang defer statements. But again, only a good idea if that makes some sort of sense in your program, and isn't just a work around for the lack of gotos.

Gotos make me cringe, a "while(0)" hack makes me cringe just as much. The whole problem with goto is it confuses the reader as to where the control flow is going, but this is just as bad because until you read to the end you're under the impression those statements will be run multiple times.
I'm from Toronto and work in the apartment rentals industry, and I think it's pretty clear that nobody actually believes that Airbnb rentals are having any sort of real impact on home prices and rents in the city. Since Airbnb listings in units people purchased just to Airbnb make up such a tiny portion of the housing stock, it's not sensible to think that this regulation is really targeted at impacting rents.

It's also worth mentioning that unlike NYC and SF where this may actually be a real issue, buying a place just to put on Airbnb in Toronto is hard to do in a profitable way. Airbnb rents in most parts of Toronto make it impossible to turn a profit worth the hassle, and most I know who have considered it decided not to based on the economics.

I suspect the political motivations are the mayor (who is generally sensible) wanting to be seen at least doing "something" to address rising rents, as well as catering to the various industry lobbies and other politicians who are generally uncomfortable with any industry operating in a largely unregulated way.

One thing I feel that is often missed is even if you go on a large building spree there are HOA's to contend with. In all the places I have owned there three very strict guidelines on the number of properties within the community that can be rented. This is to protect the owners who wish to, you know, actually live there.

I have been on a HOA where we essentially forced an owner to sell their unit as we wouldn't authorize them to rent it out as we were at capacity of homes rented out. The decision was made to not make an exception as once you make one you have very little ground to refuse others.

AirBnB provides an invaluable service. Without them, it would be completely impossible to move somewhere for a month or two to find out if you want to live there. Without AirBnB there is no short term rental market. No one outside of AirBnB will give you a lease of less than a year. I have no idea how people moved to other cities for a short period of time before AirBnB.
> Rather than use a unsecured raspberry pi3 with it's wifi left on, why not have a closed system specifically built instead.

You can have preferential ordering of tags, which, basically, gives you hierarchy.

Or, put another way, the hierarchical file name can be seen as an ordered n-tuple of tags.

Both approaches give you new ways to view, find and manipulate FS content. What about viewing all files which are sources (belong to "src" directory in any part of a path)? Something like that.

The China Shock: Learning from Labor Market Adjustment to Large Changes in Trade [pdf]
Hey all,
I'd like to share with everyone my latest project. I've been exploring ways to balance working on my own projects with reliable streams of income. The traditional advice is to keep a full-time job (and work on your projects on the side), or to become a freelancer/contractor/consultant (and treat your project as another client).

I think part-time roles are underrated here. For a bootstrapper, they combine the additional hours that are taken by full-time roles with the stability that's lacking from project-based work. When looking for such roles, I noticed most job boards don't particularly highlight them and there is no place that curates high quality, skilled roles that don't require the typical full-time commitment. Part-time roles, when they are posted, tend to be for unskilled/scut work.

I wanted to create a resource for high quality, skilled part-time jobs. I think this could be valuable to a few different groups:

- Bootstrappers who want to spend more time on their own projects than a full-time gig would allow, but who also want the income stability that freelancing/consulting tends to lack.

- Skilled domain experts that, for a variety of reasons, prefer to work less hours, or for more than one firm/industry.

- Those who want to spend more time with family, hobbies, travel, etc but don't believe that should mean giving up opportunities to work on meaningful and interesting work.

Right now I'm linking to roles from HN and Stackoverflow. The idea is to add more high quality links over time and to feature ads directly on parttimer.io

Hope you guys find it useful. Let me know what you guys think and where it can add more value. Would also love to hear your thoughts and experiences with part-time work in general.
Absolutely agreed with all of this, and well done on the analysis--you backed out my back-of-the-envelope numbers.

Gas has been ~$2 where I live for a very long time, and you're right, I'm closer to 5 than 10k miles, and much of it is city.

In order for a comment to be even slightly on topic, do we not need at least some minor connection with the article? In this case the article has nothing to do with gender politics and nothing to do with the choice of male or female naming of virtual assistants. The connection the commenter made and the article is purely be based on the title alone.

Political comments based on article titles (in contrast to article text) is inherently contagious and tedious. All it does is spreading itself and anti-agents of itself. You attacked the anti-agent but left the infection alone, which is why people have a problem with it. The resulting thread of the original post is taking up 2/3 of the comments in here and only a single comment (by nathanasmith) has any connection with the article. That is out of 44 comments one is about the article. Had you moderated a bit more inclusive then 40 of those comments would likely never existed, and maybe a portion of them would instead have made comments about the article.

You would never use nested if statements for performance reasons. The conditions in any modern language will short circuit, which will give the equivalent behavior as manually making nested loops. Depending on the circumstances it might be more readable, but never more performant.

Enforcing a carbon tax is trivial, since fossil fuel extraction is centralized. It does, however, require heavy tariffs against goods imported from countries that don't have carbon taxes.
Yeah, this is a universal theme with Terraform resources.

If you can choose between a "con todo" description that lumps together resources and subresources, versus describing every single little thing separately and then attaching them together, always use attachments.
Absolutely agreed that not everyone's concern is cost. I don't live an affluent area, however. I'm lucky to have a job with benefits, if that tells you anything. I can't imagine my neighbors caring too much.
> The advantage to prescriptive rules for language is that you don't lose the context of a language over time or distance

That's assuming that even works. I'm not sure it's clear prescribing language rules has ever worked at stopping the natural evolution of language. Most grammar nazi's (if there's a less politically laden term, let me know) focus on a small amount of "common mistakes" but don't seem to care or even notice the avalanche of tiny changes to language occurring at the same time. And do they win with regard to the changes they do focus on? Even in 1874, the "correct" way to say people are building a house in the passive voice was "the house is building", which even in the most formal communications has been completely replaced with the nonsensical and uncouth "the house is being built".[0]

Before AirBnB, people would sublet their apartments - I've never personally had trouble finding one to three month accommodations.

You're correct that the extremely short term rental market (2 weeks and below) didn't really exist before, and AirBnB did streamline the entire process.
It's axiomatic for a nonrenewable resource you're going to have a point in time in which you're extracting the most of that resource.

I think it's way too early to say is this kind of models good replacements of traditional file systems since we are so used to work with hierarchies everywhere and tooling is very young if any.

I think simple operations remain still quite simply but we need to alternate those a bit. For example "delete everything in here" may not be very clear thing but "delete these files globally" and "unlink these tags" are still simple concepts. What tags are offered to be unlinked for what files is just UX decision where is multiple quite ok answers. For example if we browse files as tag stack we may delete first one or ask how deeply we want clear stack tags.
I definitely don't understand that. I would consider Olympic Men's basketball more of a joke, since everyone knows that professional basketball in the USA is far and away a bigger deal than in other countries. It's completely stacked from a financial perspective, whereas (AFAIK) that's not the case with the Warriors.
