> Sure, you can find cheap/free land, but don't you think you would feel that someone stole your work, robbed you of the fruits of your labor, if the land you toiled for years to make fertile is taken away from you?

If I voluntarily chose to took away on land owned by someone else under express terms that allowed it to be taken away arbitrarily, I’d kind of expect that risk, and wouldn't view it as theft.

There's a reason plenty of people making a living selling video content use YouTube to distribute promotional material but some other mechanism to monetize the content.

Mentoring and coaching people has turned out to be one of my most rewarding activities at work, and I want to extend that to the greater community.

It might be what you expect for that particular compiler, but there's no guarantee. A different compiler might decide that because `Do` has only two possible values, that it should replace the dynamic function call with an if condition deciding between two static function calls like I did here manually, to trigger the bug again: https://godbolt.org/g/kWcvvb
Thanks for the etymology. Very interesting!

Middle management is oftentimes remote, in another EU country with higher salaries and job security (Sweden, Germany, Netherlands). "Efficient" is sarcastic - meaning more "manipulative" and "micromanaging".

The article doesn't mention providers dealing directly with the customer to avoid paying a percentage to the app. In any service business like housekeeping where you have a long term relationship between the customer and the provider, this is going to be an issue.

The article indirectly discusses this by talking about how an app can provide value to pros in specialties with various characteristics, but I think that it should have started with by saying "if you think you can take a 30% cut of every transaction in a service business without actually providing substantial value in every transaction, it's not going to happen."

Back in the 90's and early oughts no one thought of writing code this way. It was counter productive. I'd suggest that it is still counter productive to consider SDLC concepts when writing pet code: great idea or not.

ECC is not an officially supported/validated feature on Ryzen. Support comes and goes across various motherboards and BIOS revisions and if it doesn't work you have no leg to stand on. Also, UDIMMs only, no RDIMMs.

It is officially supported on TR and Epyc, as well as Pentiums, i3s, and Xeons (entry-level Xeons are nowhere near as expensive as people think they are).

If you think you need ECC my advice is to build out around a platform where you won't be the first person to try something and run into the bugs. There is not a large community of ECC-users on Ryzen.
Increasingly though mainstream users don't need to run local applications. Some do; I have a combination of Linux, Mac, and Windows systems I use for various things. But a lot of the time when I travel I just take a very portable Chromebook with me. The vast bulk of what I need to do on a day to day basis I do online.
Our perceptions are completely reversed. I avoid Linux on a desktop PC because my desktop PCs have all been powerful enough for gaming and large enough for a good GPU.

While my laptops have been strictly for work/hobby. So for me Linux on an IBM (now lenovo) laptop has been flawless for over 12 years now. In the beginning it was actually FreeBSD but I didn't feel like going into specifics.

And on my desktop PC I run Windows.
There are a couple of CS programs, especially community colleges, where they actively ask for folks with industry experience to mentor students.

There are also boot camp programs that do the same. In particular, I have mentored at Hackbright Academy, and I only have great things to say about the experience. I am pretty sure that I get more out of the experience of mentoring the students than they do :)
Vitally | Senior Javascript Engineer (First Hire) | New York | Onsite

Any experience building data-intensive applications is also a plus - we deal with a lot of data :)

As we grow, you'll be able to take a significant leadership role within our engineering team. You'll also have the opportunity to be a member of the team as we go through the Techstars NYC summer session, working alongside some of the most promising startups and talented entrepreneurs in New York.

Are you sure the name ultimately comes from the character? Or was the character named after the idea of advising? The Online Etymology Dictionary suggests it means "advisor" as the agent noun for mentos, meaning "intent, purpose, spirit, passion." It could be related to monitor, and "men-", "to think."

Prescribe how you want, but one could make the case the mentee is the spirit-receiver of the mentor.

Is there a word for laugh-cringing..? So spot on.
The kind of libertarianism the FEE think tank advocates for is what I would call right-libertarianism. And it's kind of an oxymoron because there is still a need for authority. How do you assert anyone's claim to private property without a centralised authority? The original libertarianism, which is a strain of socialist political philosophy, calls for decentralised authority and therefore also the end of the private ownership of property.

Of course, this FEE think tank, along with all the other "Libertarian" think tanks, are funded by the likes of the Koch brothers in an effort to legitimise the deregulation of their industries. There is no requirement for it to make any logical sense, just to appear as if it does so that legislation can have some semblance of an intellectual backing.

>landing a job where people are passionate is going to be hard with my little experience.

They're out there. You might consider some of the tech companies that are large enough to have intern programs. Even if you don't want to be an intern, it signals a willingness to take on entry-level people.

Also, I say "tech companies" just because when the tech is the product, that tends to produce a more ambitious tech culture than places where it's just a cost of doing business.

Shameless plug: You might consider HomeAway if you're in the right geo area. We take interns, and have hired a few new grads/low-experience devs into my teams recently who are working out swimmingly. But I'm sure there are many other companies that would work.

The subtext is jealousy of JavaScript object creation/destructing, it's the thing I like most about JavaScript I think, really makes your code feel fluid. I couldn't tell you what they preserve order though. There's even precompiler extensions to destructure immutable.js Maps.
The way I see it, there are three main things that contributed to Uber's success:

1. As discussed in the article, the service they provide is commoditized making both employee skill and customer to employee relationships irrelevant. If I like the person providing the service, what incentive is there for me to not to continue to work with that person outside of the app?

2. They connect people who are looking for a service with an untapped market of unskilled contractors who can provide that service. I would never become a full time taxi driver but I might consider driving for a ride sharing service if I needed extra cash. A layperson like me is never going to work for an Uber for massages.

3. There is preexisting regulatory capture in the market that allows the new entrant to provide a much better or cheaper service than the incumbents (although here be legal dragons).

Ideas like Uber for massages or Uber for housecleaning don't work because they fail all three of those conditions. Companies that meet multiple conditions tend to be more successful. Postmates for example meets the first two conditions while Airbnb meets all three.
Yes, in some ways I see this as being more synergistic than self driving cars.
