Having another offer in hand gives you leverage. It signals to your current employer that the market is willing to pay more than your employer pays now. I would not dismiss using it to get more compensation. Just don't present it as a threat. Just be straight forward to your manager. Tell him/her that the offer makes it very hard for you to justify to stay and if they can do something about the compensation to make it worth your while.

An employer that doesn't understand that an employee would leave over a significantly better offer is an employer that you don't want to work for to begin with.
There are exceptions, and stories people tell, but GP is correct about the broad picture (in my understanding of the data). The west was unusual, and we have tended to misunderstand its past by looking at the more recent past of other societies.

> parents send/sent their children to social occasions

Absolutely people try to position their kids into the best social class they can. And still do, this is 90% of what parents house-shopping for "good schools" are doing, not to mention the great college admissions game. But this is not the same thing as an arranged marriage culture.

Fines won't promote reuse by the supplier much, because reuse is expensive, they will promote reduction -- of both the buckets and the valuable contents of those buckets.

When buckets are expensive - large industrial containers, they are in fact protected by deposit and recipients of shipments are obligated to return the containers to the supplier.

Adults don't get the same treatment as children.

If a non-native child lives in a foreign language environment and uses the wrong pronunciation/grammar, they would be corrected by friends and teachers. But adults won't get that feedback often.

Example, one of my colleague is non-native. He speaks with almost perfect pronunciation/grammar, yet he has some minor quirks from time to time. I don't correct him because his language skills are more than adequate for the job and we are engineers, not language teachers.

Another example, I do not speak English natively, so my writing still contains grammatical errors. As my language skills improved, I stopped receiving feedback for my writing, it had become good enough.

Sometimes, I get a hint of feedback like: "Wow, I didn't notice that you are non-native.". People say that because they noticed my unnatural writing, I guess that's a polite way of saying "You failed".

Grammar is hard. My French is unreadable.

It’s a bad look to be leaving jobs every 6-18 months repeatedly, but one or two incidences won’t tank your career.

The FB offer looks like a great opportunity, but if you only stay there a year, you’re designing a resume that will get you labeled as a job hopper and screened out of a lot of future roles at the resume stage.

Whichever you choose - the current job or FB - I suggest you make sure you stay there for at least 2 full years before making your next move, whether to grad school or another company.
The difference between classical and jazz musicians points to a deeper conversation about diversity. Classical musicians are a cog in a big musical machine, so they are almost by definition less diverse. There's no room in a classical orchestra for a pianist who can't reach the far ends of the keyboard (Michel Petrucciani), there's no room for a guitarist with two-and-a-half working fingers on his fretting hand (Django Reinhardt), there's no room for a singer with a completely unique vocal range (Jimmy Scott).

Jazz is more amicable to diversity than classical music on a fundamental level, because it's based on improvisation and unique personal expression. If you're physically unable to play the same way as everyone else, you're pretty much useless to a classical orchestra but you may well become a pioneer in jazz.

Some obstacles to diversity can't be overcome with blind auditions and quotas and sensitivity training. Some environments are lacking in diversity because they are structurally incompatible with diversity; they can't have diversity retrofitted on to them, but need to be reformed from the ground up.
You would still often need to parse them. Imagine that the url is the primary key of a table and the API changes url structure. Then you would get duplicate rows and the only way to prevent that would be to validate the format of the urls, which is parsing. The index would also be bloated and slow.

> in other cases, it will be a well defined set of places and their corresponding threads

But that's also true for GC, only the set of places and threads is larger :) So I agree that refcounting is a more deterministic garbage collection than tracing, but it's still not deterministic. Deterministic is when the "set of places and threads" is of size 1.

> Which occupies memory which could be used instead to reduce other costs. For instance, this extra memory could have been used by the operating system's disk cache.

This is not quite true. A given machine, with a given set of processors P, running application X, has a certain processing capacity beyond which it cannot go. To reach that maximum capacity it has a certain working set size, M(P, X), that it can put in RAM. It can cache it from disk or from the network, but increasing that cache beyond that point won't help you with performance any more (especially for distributed caching, where the distributed workload would just cause lots of cache invalidation). Caching anything beyond M would not help (and perhaps could even hurt). But you can increase RAM by any amount beyond M to reduce the cost of memory management almost arbitrarily low with a tracing GC (the increased throughput may increase M, too, so that more memory could be put to other uses, not less).

This is why so many people want a low-latency GC. You can get machines with 6TB RAM (probably even more now). Very few applications can benefit from an effective working set of that size (unless they have 500 cores or something).

Of course, in environments where RAM is constrained tracing may not be the best choice.

Don't imagine anything fancy here. This is roughly 100 lines of Python code that scales based on some tresholds. It took a day or two to develop, test and deploy.

However, we recently found a managed service to do this for us so we'll be switching to that as soon as we can.

If we'd have to spend more engineering resources on our infrastructure than the occasional simple tool, then we'd consider switching away from Heroku. The benefits still outweigh the potential engineering effort of not running on Heroku.

They should be required to charge the same to everyone. If an insurer doesn't want to pay that price, the patient will have to cover the rest and insurance companies will have to compete. If there were to be an exception, it should be the provider giving the patient a break on their portion.

This would be putting people first, and it's exactly opposite of what we have.

This got plenty of upvotes and the comments in here are mostly personal anecdotes. I’d like to point out a couple of things:

1. The author is the CEO of an online language learning company. That’s a strong indication that the article might be biased.

2. This whole “study” is based on data gathered through a “viral Facebook quiz” in which people provided self-assestments of their own skills and learning process. Facebook is not a controlled lab environment, and people are subject to all kind of biases and thus terrible at self-assessment. This whole thing screams “amateurish” and I would not trust it.

3. Results are apparently so ambiguous and controversial that, as the author states,

> a number of journalists have misinterpreted this paper badly, resulting in a lot of articles falsely stating things as embarrassing and misleading as “Becoming fluent in another language as an adult might be impossible”, when in fact the opposite is shown.

This whole thing smells funny. Think I’ll pass, thanks.

Worth noting that this is the same format that Alex Jones uses. He just plugs product after product, and certainly doesn't go out of his way to indicate the distinction between "content" and "advertising", if there can even be said to be such a distinction.

I’m always surprised when candidates ask for this. I can see why they would want to, but it presents problems for the company:

Employees always sign stuff to protect the IP. I’d have to go get paperwork from the company attorney to cover non-employees before I can show them anything.

Can they really learn anything about the codebase in the limited interview time we have? They’re not getting repo access.

Why is the candidate asking this question in the first place? It makes me wonder if they’re inflexible or unwilling to be pragmatic about imperfect code. If they have a track record of leaving companies because the code isn’t up to their puritanical standards then it’s a hard pass.

The US health system is full of stories like "Medicare payments are below cost therefore we have to charge other patients more", "International drug prices are too low, therefore we have to charge US prices more", "There are a lot of uninsured patients treated for free therefore we need to charge others more".

I tend to call BS on all of them. None of them explains why especially hospitals tend to charge almost random prices for the same thing, make constant billing mistakes and haunt the patient for years with changes that already have been settled with the insurance. It doesn't explain why the medical device my company sells for 30k gets charged 140k by the hospital (happened to my girlfriend). Or why for the same 1 hour surgery one hospital anesthesiologist charges 12k while somewhere else the charge is 3k.

The whole system is totally corrupt, opaque and highly profitable for doctors, administrators and middlemen. Each of them blames the other while never providing any real accounting with hard numbers.

The first rule of experiment design is to state your hypothesis and controls upfront, and test only according to those. You don't get to update those parameters after the test is complete.

Failing to reject the null hypothesis but then saying 'if <alternative hypothesis picked with knowledge of result> is true then <result> would make sense' is not science. This claim is useless non-information after the results are known. This is a completely new claim that must be validated with a new study designed around it. Maybe this alternative hypothesis is true, maybe it isn't. Hindsight of the original experiment's data can never shed light on that.

Trying to pass off a revisionist hypothesis with advance knowledge of results, is very much grasping at straws. Reduced to the absurd, its as if someone predicted a coin flip would land on heads, and then revised their reasoning after seeing it land on tails and told you that their method of predicting coin flips was right all along except for that little <sampling bias/whatever>.

I hope this is clear and makes sense, because this is one of the fundamental pillars of the scientific method. You state a hypothesis, then you test, then you arrive at a conclusion. You don't start with a conclusion and then revise your hypothesis to match it after knowing the outcome of the test.
So let’s go down the list of some of those currencies:

1. USD ~ is markedly different post breaking from gold standard so 40-50 years

2. EUR - created 1999

3. Russian ruble - post fall of Soviet Union.

I mean what’s the standard here? One way or another maybe the longest running one is the British pound but even then, one can easily argue like with the USD that breaking from the gold standard is a different currency altogether. But if “age” is what we’re talking about, it has to be closing in to what the Euro was at on 2009!

That’s disappointing. I remember I was very supportive of coding as trade education when I first heard of it but it hasn’t really panned out.

Completely missing context from the story: If a healthcare provider accepts Medicare patients, legally they cannot charge anyone a lower price than they give Medicare. The Medicare price is the price floor, not the average price. Once you understand that, the charge rates make more sense. However, I suppose adding that context wouldn’t gin up the correct amount of outrage...

This is ranty and subjective. Reduction of visual clutter isn't just for people in a store; as someone who uses a Mac professionally, I don't cease to appreciate it.

I was reluctant when I had to enable persistent scroll bars because they affected the layout of the applications I was building, and our users were not all on OSes with that feature. Even on my PC I virtually never drag a scroll bar manually, opting instead for the mouse wheel. With momentum scrolling it's even easier to get straight to where I want to be. And, funnily enough, I only find myself wondering how long a document is at the same time that I'm already scrolling down a bit.

Mobile touch keyboards have very limited real-estate, and arrow keys would be hilariously wasteful of it. Instead iOS lets you drag across the whole keyboard, moving the cursor like a trackpad. I believe this feature didn't exist in 2013, although I also think there was an earlier version confined to the space bar which did. I could be wrong.

The hiding of redundant UX elements isn't an affront to expert users. Expert users appreciate having more space for content that matters and less mental clutter; just ask someone who uses Vi or Emacs.
