I was actually learning React around the time I was learning to touch type. So, naturally, my first project was to build a typing test[0] :) Looking back, I cringe at the code quality. But it worked and I had fun doing it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like the idea of typing out code though! I think there are some sites that do that, like https://typing.io/

I hate to crush this romanticism in the crib, but this comment is overemphasizing the impact a lone engineer working on a government project will have, which will just disillusion and frustrate applicants once they start the job.

The parent's concerns about quality of life with pay topping out at 160k is real and shouldn't be waved away with "it's worth it". Doubly so if you have kids. Take a look at this recent living wage page: http://livingwage.mit.edu/. Can you make it work? Sure. But going into this with eyes wide open is better than looking at this with rose-tinted glasses.

The air support for the US Navy, on the other hand, is slightly better than the Royal Air Force of 1890. And, the ICBMs, satellites, and submarines are a tad bit more sophisticated. Other than that, though, your analysis is spot on. (Well, to be fair, the US Navy has made some remarkable inroads with the whole scurvey thing...)

I don't think anyone has a problem with Epic making their own games exclusive - the problem is that Epic is bribing other publishers and now purchasing developers to create artifical little monopolies which force the consumer to use their product if they want the game.

Given that, you buy your house to remove risk of local changes to your detriment.

Housing raises your risk; it doesn't lower it.

1. Over time, renting and owning cost similar amounts: https://affordanything.com/is-renting-better-than-buying-sho....

2. You run great risk in terms of the market: look at anyone who bought in Detroit, pretty much ever. Buying in West Coast housing markets may look hot right now, but the minute a big earthquake hits one, a lot of people may be financially wiped out. A serious recession could do the same. Miami? It may be literally underwater. https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/miami-faces-an-unde...

3. The neighborhood may change for the worse.

I believe that's parent's point. "https:" would be OK, "http: would be rejected, but " http:" would also be _accepted_ it. They looked for "http://" at the start of the string, instead of requiring "https://".

Replacing:

bool flag2 = file.Location.ToLower().StartsWith("http://");

with:

bool flag2 = Regex.IsMatch(file.Location.ToLower(), "^http:");

doesn't help. You have to make sure to actually replace http, not just check the start of the line.
In the case of interstate commerce (and catalog ordering, crossing the border to buy if you live nearby, etc) they have the concept of "use tax" where you must pay the equivalent of sales tax on goods you bought to use in your home state without paying state income tax. You are expected to pay use tax on goods you purchase on the internet tax-free at income tax filing time, and (a vanishingly small number of, I'm sure) honest people have been reporting their purchases and paying tax on goods purchased on the internet. Retroactively taking sales tax from those retailers would double-dip.

My late uncle was a successful, independent entrepreneur who sold industrial equipment. Effectively he acted as a broker matching precision machine shops (suppliers) with buyers (demand). For example, he sold specialized nozzles machined in Europe to dairy farms for a fraction of what the OEM charged for consumables. The kind of economic agent economists presume are ubiquitous but in actuality are very rare.

Originally from Chicago, he worked from Wisconsin while raising his family, and then for nearly 20 years in California. He had a very midwestern attitude regarding government which is unfortunately waning. I forgot what prompted the comment (perhaps I was complaining about Calfornia's $800 franchise fee), but he once commented that if you can't be bothered to pay and stay current with the $800 franchise fee you shouldn't be in business at all.

The $800 fee seems excessive, I feel like it's an impediment, and I've had my own run-in with the CAFTB that left me feeling railroaded. But frankly I find it hard to dispute his point.

The important thing is that the CAFTB is no joke, so if you're in California or even a resident elsewhere doing business in California, be diligent about paying California taxes or be prepared to aggressively defend yourself when they inevitably come knocking at your door (or digging through your trash, harassing your neighbors, or poisoning your dog[1]).

[1] That last one was a joke, or at least unsubstantiated.

Although that may be true, if the house is paid for by a loan, you have the additional insecurity that you need to pay $XXXX per month for the next 15-30 years. If something happens and you can't afford it anymore you risk foreclosure.

EDS - Remember that big huge company H.Ross Perot Ran? - We TRIED to buy PCs from hardware vendors without Windows. They refused due to how Bill locked them into contracts. If it was to run Windows, then Windows was shipped with every single hardware sale. On the bill of lading.

Government doesn't pay for stuff they don't use. Didn't want Windows if they were to run UNIX (Santa Cruz Operations XENIX System 5, to be precise). Wonder why some people at SCO went crazy and snorted their futures? Blame Bill.

> Ultimately, people aren't making Steam accounts because of the Steam workshop or Steam forums or Steam chat or what have you—they're making Steam accounts because there's a game on Steam that they want to play.

This is just false. Steam has evolved beyond just a marketplace, and I go there because I enjoy the tools they provide. From VR, to family sharing, home streaming, and more.
Valve do still develop games, they just focus on maintaining their current games now. Dota 2, CSGO, Team Fortress 2 still gets frequent updates and big enhancements.

I graduated from a state school over a decade ago. I'm working at a good company now doing things that some people would consider "cool". And I couldn't even tell you off the top of my head what university a single one of my coworkers went to.

I think to some degree that you're using the school you did go to as a facile excuse to explain why you "haven't done cool stuff", when it's quite possible that that's not the reason at all, and that even if you had gone to that school you still wouldn't be "doing cool stuff".

And the farther out you are from college, the less and less it matters. In programming, past a certain number of years out, it may not even matter if you have a degree at all.

> Epic isn't making a marketplace where I want to spend my money by being better than Steam, they're just trying to make a place where I have to spend money if I want to play certain games. Good luck with that one.

The irony in this statement is kind of ridiculous. You can't play many games without owning a Steam account right now. How is that any different in principle?

Overall, I recognize the Epic Store has some large issues and it definitely deserves criticism, but I just don't see why this shift is such a big deal in the long run. It's a good thing that Valve is getting competition, whose customer support has been a complete joke since its inception and monopoly allowed them to take huge bites from studio profits for years.

I don't believe anyone should be tied to one company's products like we have with Steam and there should never be a monopoly over this kind of stuff; Valve's dominance of the PC gaming marketplace is plain scary. I'm fine with Valve having to prove that people should use their product over the newcomers.

Right now the most frustrating thing will definitely be the split among ecosystems (chat, etc) and feature parity for things like Steam Workshop. That will smooth out over time, but yeah for now that's definitely an annoyance. I think we'll see an intermediary app like Discord fill the social space, just like how XFire used to dominate in the 2000's.

Self-taught is wishful thinking. We've had the ability to self learn for ages yet most people don't. My local trade school has had a learning center for anyone to go to and learn from hundreds of professions for at least 40 years yet very few people take advantage of the opportunity. It might even be harder to self learn now since it takes very little to quit. It's just too hard for most people to work their way through the courses alone. It's too easy to quit for whatever reason.

Anyone can drop in for free into any college class now without enrolling there's nothing stopping them, since most professors don't care as long as they don't have to deal with the student, but people don't. We mainly pay for the degree for prestige, the paper diploma and the constant push we get to finish and the fact that we enrolled in a class and in school and have to finish.

Self-taught is a way to never get through a degree and never get a job for most people.

40k+ is the cost of not having elite level self-control. A price worth paying for most.
I think you understand the outrage perfectly. I think you may be overestimating the shock.
Exactly. I like the idea of owning a house, but the idea of not only investing in the real estate market, but investing where I live is insane.

If I'm in the NYC labor market then I feel like if I were to own real estate then I should be hedging my risk by owning in Austin or something.

If you want to feel that condemned for life by the capitalist caste system feeling, read the part in The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz where people are trying to stop them from hiring Mark Cranney, even though he is apparently the best sales exec they have ever seen, because he went to "a weak school". They even admit he could be the CEO of IBM instead of a sales guy at a floundering startup if he didn't have "those things wrong with him".
> Sanctions against Russia didn't have much impacts on European/US consumers.

Russia isn't an export/manufacturing powerhouse, unlike China. The one thing that Russia does export that EU consumers are about - oil & gas - isn't subject to sanctions.
So what might happen if California enacted statewide rent control? Capping yearly rent increases at inflation + 3%? There are places where properties have doubled in value in less than a dozen years while wages remain stagnant, leading to rents surging and more %income going to housing. Many low income renters are paying 50% or more of their income on rent, that's not sustainable for the wider economy that relies on low skill labor to function, and the solution is not to have people commute 4h every day to clean an office, teach a class, or fight a fire.

The housing market moves so much faster than wages ever will, and it seems having only some units rent controlled exacerbates the problem for units that aren't, so why not make every unit in the state a rent controlled unit? The landlords are already insulated from the whiplash of the housing market from statewide property tax control in the form of prop 13, why not let renters enjoy that isolation as well?
Now that everyone and their grandma is labeled “far right” unless they are a registered Democrat or Antifa member, I guess we’d better start implementing tactical and strategic defenses.

So you can't stay employed with the USDS after your tour of duty, after a maximum of four years you have to leave ( and that is a good thing ). However if you are able to be hired by the USDS you won't have a hard time finding a job in the DC area after your tour of duty is over. The tech scene there is very strong and they pay well even for the high cost of living. When I had to factor in my dependents the thing that put me over the top is I thought it would be better to show them by example the kind of life I wanted them to live, rather then just provide them money.

Part of it is that some areas grow. Some cities are growing, others shrinking; different neighborhoods in different places. Some people I know have done a double or better on their property values over the past decade-and-a-half because it is now an upscale area. It can't happen nationwide, but even an economy which is stagnant over all is constantly in flux.

Of course, others I know have also lost substantial value at times.

I see you are into misanthropunk.
I’d say all things being equal if you have the same person on two timelines and on both they over consume calories but on one they spike their insulin and the other they don’t, the time line with the insulin spikes will carry more fat/dangerous adipose tissue. Insulin acts as a hormone and tells the body to store calories as fat and simultaneously enlarges cells throughout the body, especially fat cells, allowing the body to store more fat than otherwise.

It’s probably very useful to measure what spikes ones insulin so the individual can avoid those foods.

For example I know whey, a protein powder with zero carbs/sugars will spike my insulin (because it knocks me out of ketosis). Probably not a bad idea for a body builder who wants to replinish their muscle glycogen stores after a hard workout, but not going to be necessary and over long term even harmful to someone who isn’t depleting their muscle glucose/glycogen stores. In fact protein that can’t be used is generally converted into glucose which when not used is store in fat cells.
You give people a language with a lot of influence from mathematics like Haskell, which should be easy to write because we familiarise ourselves with mathematics from a very young age.

You give people a language which is very close to english, like Python, which is accessible to an even larger audience.
Thousands of packages get written just to make it even closer to english, even more plug-and-play.

At the level of Haskell, their comfy syntax means you need to understand the logical implications of literally everything you write. At the level of Python, their comfy syntax sacrifices control over performance. Both good syntax, both problematic.

I'm beginning to think you can't have your cake and eat it too when it comes to languages. Maybe you'd even want to make the argument that it's a good thing that languages are inaccessible to most people.
> The problem, of course, is that Epic isn't developing original content—they're paying for existing content to be removed from Steam.

Stereo cameras produce line of sight depth information

That is wrong. Stereo cameras provide data which, after significant processing, can result in line-of-sight depth information. With radar (including LIDAR) and ultrasound, the depth information is essentially "free" since very little processing is required to extract the depth information (i.e., the information returned is the depth).

So the biggest difference between stereovision and everything else is that stereovision requires additional processing to extract the depth information.
This feels more dangerous, not less.
