You’re using one normalized stat to come to a conclusion of “not bad”?

Many teachers get $0 or a pittance for supplies and have to spend from their own salary so other people’s kids to have access to learning activities and materials.

They’re spending their days dealing with a room full of emotionally selfish brats. You think they grade all that homework from 8-3? Nope. Many spend dozens of hours working outside the classroom.

Meanwhile, I’ve worked with dozens of coders who contribute jack squat, but earn &100k+.

Coders who often could be replaced with a few git clone ops and a Squarespace front end if companies weren’t obsessed with re-inventing the wheel, or over fetishing their web ui which really just follows one of 6 common looks.

Quite simply our economics around who gets paid are effed.

There are few tech folks that couldn’t be replaced by thousands of other workers who are just as capable at churning out CRUD app after CRUD app

Smart and capable people that might be interested in teaching the next generation if the pay didn’t suck given the expectations put on them

In some way's, I'd be willing to entertain the idea that all of the people who voted Trump, all still use AOL.com email addresses, browse the internet on Gateway 2000 tower desktop computers, and click every email attachment and read every chain letter forwarded to them.

I'd like to believe that, because if it's not true, something weirder is afoot.

My thinking is really that the organic Trump voter wasn't hacked, and that, to them, the upset is only such that Pepsi won the election, and not Coca-cola. That if they weren't supposed to vote Trump, he wouldn't have been an official party candidate. That having a TV show made him as qualified as being a movie star qualified Reagan. That being a TV star, and a billionaire qualified him in ways that simply being married to a former president would not qualify his opponent. That his opponent would be less historic for having been a first lady (a presidency in her husband's shadow), and that, shockingly, the perceived charisma of one opponent represented the mirror reflection of how the other was perceived by their rival.

If Trump won organically, it means so many people really are "like that" and that many at-large voters are simple-minded, easily lead astray, and thus all democratic votes are suspect, and that putting the levers of control, and vesting democracy in them is a complete mistake.

That it's okay to override their choice, because their choice is dumb.

If you accept that narrative, other consequences become rational.

But, if it was a cheat, a hack, a derailment, sabotage. If removal is legal and based on rational facts. That the people you meet, who openly admit to voting for Trump are discredited for other reasons, then an override of this outcome is just a speed bump, a pot hole, an ordinary defect, a SNAFU and a tire change.

shoot, I surf the internet less when I work from home. I do take more breaks to stretch, exercise, or walk around, but those don't distract my mind. In an office, I feel somewhat caged and constrained by the presence of others. I end up trying to get my nervous energy out by surfing and end up distracted.

Not to mention that I get a lot of good work done after the sun goes down, and it's a lot easier to do that when you're working from home and people aren't commenting on how they haven't seen you lately(which happens at my day job all the time unless I'm in a chair 9-5).

I used an Xperia Z3 Compact for a while before I bought an iPhone SE and loved it. Sony's walled-garden for Android was pretty nice, I'll probably be back as long as they continue making compact phones once my SE gets too slow/old/breaks/whatever. The SE was my first iPhone, and unfortunately seems like it might be my last.

Ah, but as these companies are always so quick to remind us, their workers are contractors, not employees. Which here reveals itself as a double-edged sword: it lets you save lots of money on those pesky benefits and workers' rights, but it means you have no ability to prevent them from cutting you out and getting a better deal by going directly to the customer.

As someone who loathes the startup tendency to misclassify employees in order to shift costs onto them, I do savor the schadenfreude when it backfires like this.

I was also raised in a very Mormon influenced area (East Idaho). I'm still active and believing, but one of the things I do that's more for myself than because of cultural or religious belief is observe the Sabbath. I don't work or do school work and avoid most activities I normally do any other day. Sunday has become my favorite day. I don't worry about the coming week and can truly relax. That isn't to say I don't do anything, some Sundays I'm quite busy, but my activities are usually unrelated to my normal interests, hobbies, or daily life

I think everyone, religious or not, can benefit from having one day a week to truly separate themselves from both the daily grind and from what usually occupies their headspace.

There's no way that anybody could possibly understand a modern CPU all at once. What allows us to create them is that we've inserted various abstraction barriers into their design to break them up into comprehensible pieces that can be understood one by one. Evolution doesn't have the same need to insert abstraction barriers for comprehensibility, so its designs may be truly incomprehensible - at least to being with a working memory as small as a human's is.
I agree, if you are working in a company that is not 100% remote and then remote seems to be more like "flex time."

Cool, how can I afford to buy a house in an area of roughly my choice and not work horrible hours? Oh wait I can’t do both. And you’d probably say that’s my choice to forgo living in a nice house in a nice area.

But of course, if houses cost 50% less and everyone worked 50% less I could afford the same house and work half as much, leaving more time to do what I want.

Suddenly it seems like the decisions we make have an impact on other people. So how can you choose your path without impacting on my path, and vice versa?

Smallest program I ever sold, for near-5-digit profit, was a "REBOOT.COM" which saved a sysadmin from hand-rebooting 200 machines, daily, and which earned me $9,000 on account that it was my monthly rate at the time, and its all I did that month, by circumstance, anyway ... it was a different time, and I honestly felt I deserved it, then[1].

I completely agree with you.

I think my original wording came off as more harsh than I intended. I was definitely thinking about cheatsheets solely in the context of handing them off to beginners (I am biased towards this since I end up teaching git to a lot of people as part of my job).

Using cheatsheets as cheatsheets, as you describe, is totally fitting. I just often see them either getting handed to beginners as "here you can learn git real quick with this" or intermediate users relying on them to look up things that they should probably have committed to memory by now (a good example escapes me, unfortunately).

I'm using "temperate climate" here to mean one with four distinct seasons, rather than one that is hot or cold all year. I also don't really like dry weather (thirsty and sore eyes all the time) and am not that big on sunshine (besides getting hot I get sunburn very easily). Basically my ideal day is New England autumn, maybe with a light drizzle. I guess I could see myself liking the PNW but Socal is not for me.

But the whole point is that it depends on your approach. Jesus was very clearly in opposition to the religious elites of his day by choosing to walk, teach, and even perform physical healings on the Sabbath. The summation of the rationale for this is pretty clear: it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.

That is a common use, which shouldn't be surprising because it's how we built a theory around genetics even before we had any idea about DNA. It just turns out in practice that the idea of single distinct unit of heredity, while it works as a close enough approximation for the traits that were observed to establish genetic theory, doesn't work for lots of traits of interest.

I think part of it is that the dumber VCs out there are in such a rush to get in on the ground floor of "Uber for X", that they don't bother checking whether Uber's business model is valid for X. Uber doesn't have to worry about getting shut out by drivers and passengers making deals directly with each other, because people need rides at random and going directly to the driver means basically hiring them full-time. But that logic doesn't apply for someone coming on a fixed schedule to walk your dog or clean your house: middlemen provide no value beyond initial contact.

It's investing by fad and it's all going to come unraveled soon enough.

I bought an iPhone SE when it came out. It's the perfect phone in my opinion. I am fully prepared to use it until it falls apart and it's so well built I think it may take a while.

Nothing they released after it makes sense to me. Too big and they deleted features I want while adding nothing useful to me. I wasn't expecting an SE2 so I wasn't disappointed when it failed to appear.

This iPhone and my MacBook Pro 2015 are the last Apple products I'll expect I'll ever own. Not out of spite but because they no longer make things I need, or even want.

If they don't know what a school is, how would they know that Harry Potter is accurate?

Sewers are real. Turtles are real. Is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles real?

The other evidence for a school must be conclusive. Only from that evidence could you then say Harry Potter's schools were real. It's the other evidence that is evidence. Not harry potter.

Anything in Harry Potter not proven by something else, must be assumed to be fantasy.
Nailed it for worst category. Roughly a decade ago when we 'computerized' student orientation program signups, I was in a meeting on collecting payments through that system. There were about a dozen programs new students could sign up for (kayaking trip, etc) and the prices varied from $50 to $5,000. Since these weren't classes and students hadn't started yet, these couldn't be made into classes or there'd be problems with transcripts, GPA computations, having to creatively edit academic programs and so on.

Best proposed solution by people intimately familiar with the system was to have students purchase fake parking spots which were price-equated to match a workable unit to cover the wide range in prices. In other words, choosing to build with Habitat for Humanity was one parking spot, and trip to Ecuador was 100 parking spots. To enforce class size limits, they proposed to make one virtual parking lot per program and assign their number of available parking spots accordingly.

We didn't do it that way.

Error and fatal are the same thing. If an operation fails and cannot be recovered, that's an error. There is no meaningful difference between an operation failing and the entire program failing. Or, from another perspective, keeping the program running is just another operation that can have fatal or non-fatal errors.
The argument for preventing one person to amass that much wealth is at least in part that it gives them tremendous political influence. The preferences of Sheldon Adelson arte far more consequential than an average voter living in the same district, for instance.

I definitely think people that already have an existing social network and/or a family with kids will do better with remote work.

But I'm single, have worked remotely for most of my 15+ year career, and live alone and I really have no desire to commute in a car every morning and be distracted by co-workers. I also like that I can setup my office environment exactly as I want, or go to a co-working space when I want, or a coffee shop, or a friends house.

This is why I reject this premise that all remote workers are sipping drinks on the beach. Have people ever tried to use a laptop in the sun? It's awful :)

Ohh, thanks! Now I recall I'd heard the term regarding UTF-8 at some point but completely forgotten about it.

It reminds me very much of prefix-freeness. Is it fair to say that that's what we really need (without alignment)? It seems self-synchronizing is a bit stronger (no pun intended) but not necessarily necessary to ensure you can't jump into the middle of an instruction?
Hash collisions would be one obvious problem with this approach. You could likely always tweak the hash used in response to collisions on the set of constants, but that's not going to be fun the first time it happens.

Also with that approach since it can't be made into a jump table it's still going to compile into a bunch of if/else combinations. At least with the trie it can early-return if the input doesn't have any chance of matching anything.
There is apparently a single gene variant that some short Peruvians have that (with two copies) can make a 4 cm difference. [1] But that's the extreme case. The next 700 genes explain 7% of their height.

I think automated drone inspection may be a more profitable niche than it first appears. My school had a couple grad students start up doing NDT analysis with drones. There seems to be a lot of interesting problems that could be solved with drones when they are treated as a platform for specialized equipment. And the specialization in equipment and analysis is good protection against commoditization. But I do agree with you that a lot of these problems don't really scale.
