If you have a road bike already look into buying a trainer (I have a Cycle Ops Hammer) and use it with a program called Zwift. You can ride around a virtual world while watching Netflix or something.

I got hit by a car training for triathlon outdoors and now I do basically all my cycling indoors.
This is what happens when there's 0 pressure on universities to price their programs competitively. If the government is backing every loan, the schools get paid up front, and the risk is then transferred to the gov to collect, why WOULDN'T a university charge as high a tuition as possible and hop on the gravy train?

Their non-profit status hasn't even done much to keep costs low, as they can just keep hiring tons of redundant administrators and have never-ending construction, thereby justifying higher tuitions as "operating costs".

The dept of education needs to treat universities the same way Medicaid treats healthcare providers. Determine what it actually costs per student per year to run a university, and tell the schools "Accept $x or shove off". If they're going to benefit from gov backed loans, they should play by the govs rules.

Look no further than this chart (https://i.imgur.com/B3sVMjg.png), around 2010 was when the gov started fully backing and giving the loans directly, and conveniently it's when students needs for loans skyrocketed. It's so obvious that colleges took advantage of it.

Enough is enough, this college cost situation is entirely the fault of the gov for allowing it to happen, and it's a massive drag on our economy and the potential of our citizens.

Right, the issue here is that 1: a project is poorly managed and 2: that an individual decided to take up the banner and by sheer force of will (however unreasonable) "saves the project".

I would say that if 1 is the case, then 2 might not be the best way to deal with it, but:

What if a project is not particularly poorly managed? What if you simply have an ambitious deadline that the team as a whole tries to make, whereby different individuals probably perform differently? Is the "hero" or heroes, defined implicitly (in the article) by a higher pace, still to blame for a "toxic culture" as you call it?

While you go ahead and nip that in the bud and make sure your teams are as average as possible, I'd go work somewhere where going the extra mile is actually appreciated.
Paying for education (and doing education full time) might well be things that you stop. They can be a good idea for a while without being a good idea forever.

Slippery slopes are possible, it’s only a fallacy because a slippery slope isn’t a logical proof. Just like an appeal to authority isn’t a proof but can still lend support to an idea.
Maybe focusing on which is worse (itself something difficult to define - do you count just death toll? respective groups' political power and impact? future murdering potential? self-inflicted damage like airport security theater and civil liberties?) is a mistake, and we could just go with "both are really, really bad and should be strongly opposed"?

An employee at GitLab clearly knows that their compensation is based on their address, and is done so because the compensation is matched to local cost of living. Doing anything (including giving an address, even a legal one) that artificially changes their compensation so that it doesn't match their local cost of living is knowingly deceptive, which is the definition of fraud.

To be clear, I wholeheartedly disagree with GitLab's practice of docking people's pay just because they live somewhere cheaper (are they charging less to companies who are based in cheaper COL areas? no), but their policy is still their policy, and fraud is fraud.
I’m not sure why this is being down voted, 'white' is very much an American concept.

British people are not French people are not Hungarians are not Greeks are not Italians are not Spanish people.

We're Europeans, but we have very distinct and different cultures and we don't regard ourselves as 'whites' - it's rare (outside radical left circles) for Europeans to speak that way.

The native people of most Mediterranean regions - Spain, Southern France, Italy, Greece and Turkey don't have pale skin - it would be odd to speak of 'whites'.
Abandoning monoculture means completely upending the harvesting process. That's a much harder problem. Or abandoning annual crops in favor of perennials, which would have tremendous negative impact on productivity.

>Free speech is a natural right. .... that doesn't mean you wouldn't have that right.

Yes but still they have theirs also. That's what people don't seem to connect between the two. You have no right to my property and all the right to say what the hell you like. Just because I offer my property as a place to speak doesn't mean I have to offer my property without restrictions, how about bearing arms? Why then could a church or school prevent my being armed?

If an individual can change the terms of our property use agreement by saying anything he wants on my property when I object then cannot I change terms by kicking him and his "publication/broadcast" off of my property? Seems a pretty straight forward contract dispute to me. You may enjoy your rights on your property.
It’s a process of transition between two distinct states. Say a bit flips from 0 to 1; there is a short time period during which that bit is physically “in transition”, but it would be incorrect to say that the bit has a value of, say, 0.5 during the transition.

Also remember that quantum mechanics is a way to make statistical predictions of outcomes of certain experiments; it does not claim to explain what is actually happening underneath.
They are.

The problem is the companies that are remote first aren't hanging their shingle here in the states. They're hanging them in India, China, South Pacific, and other areas that have developer expectations 1/10-1/5 the price they would pay here.

We aren't in competition for "remote first".
I don’t think so. That would be akin to the USSR falling for SDI and our military build up. I mean, if they took that approach it would be very counterproductive to their progress.
Well YouTube isn't a pipe but a platform in spite of its popularity. I can always head someplace else with a website. I can't just switch ISPs casually as entering a different URL.
How much of what you see is people who had pursued master degrees during the economic downturn?

I heard that there was an enormous amount of people exiting the workforce to pursue education when there were few jobs available. Instead they likely got a pile of debt with no real furtherance of career goals as the economy recovered.

That would be a tough sell for me personally, but it wouldn't have anything to do with the workstation.

1) Flexible hours. I just can't stand the thought of knowing that between the hours of 9 and 6 I know I'm going to be sitting at a desk for the foreseeable future. I need to be able to mix things up.

2) Easy commute and parking.

3) Genuinely good co-workers and environment that I like being around.
"Another CEO revealed to the New York Times that she texts prospective employees at 9pm or 11am on a Sunday, “just to see how fast you’ll respond”."

How nice. That's essentially measuring the height of the prospect's jump when so ordered. Actually, it's better for the employer to signal that type of expectation/treatment so the prospect is informed before hiring on.
No, because white privilege cannot be denied and exclusion against whites can never exist.

Did you ever use AOL? It was similar to a website today. There was a search feature, you could view content on it, and so on. They exercised editorial judgment and removed content. Nevertheless, they were found immune from liability for a piece of third party content on their service that they did not remove.

So taking a devil's advocate approach on this... What would you think about text if you instead organized your code into logically partitioned submodules and followed a very easy to understand organization?

In my opinion, when working with a codebase that is well organized, it feels like reading a blueprint just by the folder and file structures. So the question from the devil's advocate, are we really in need of visual methods for programming? or do we just need to get better at organizing code?

Edit: Assume that good organization lends to easy copying/generation of submodules for use elsewhere

What about 20 vs 16?
Except in a legal sense, which has been the only sense that matters.

If enough people get upset, things could change, but notable it is primarily the lack of censorship that is upsetting people, so it appears the status quo of YouTube being an open platform with some censorship (Section 230 style) will continue.

Archiving for distribution and backups are very different things. You don't care if some app distribution compressed file gets corrupted, you just compress again but your compressed backup files usually don't have much source of reference.

I wouldn't use any unreliable format for backups. I picked bzip2 for stability and compression rate.

Closest gym with spin classes is 30 minutes away. I also tend to do my classes between 11pm and 12pm, something not possible at any gym. The sessions are tightly controlled so I'm getting the workout I need. I don't have to deal with cars, humidity or any other variables riding on the road. To be honest, I don't understand why people bring that point up so much.
About 100x 6watt LED bulbs.

I now get upset when someone goes back inside to turn off a 6w LED switched bulb. It’s not worth taking up a minute of 2 people’s time.

At $6 per year, it may not be worth turning off at all. Those seconds to turn it off add up.

But good luck arguing with someone that argues this specific wastefulness should trump all other wastes.
>Compensation should be based on output performance and the difficulties and complexity of the work being done.

The output monitoring and quantification necessary for this is practically impossible - the output of programmers is deeply creative and subjective work. At best you can rank-order programmer output and award promotions. This all leads to getting paid efficiency wages and incentives under tournament theory. In short, a good chunk of your pay is a reward above unemployment or your next-best option, so that you are incentivized to work hard and your competitors are incentivized to compete for your slot. It's as economically efficient as piece work if employees aren't risk-averse, so mostly which system to use is based off of whether it's easier to monitor and quantify output versus rank-order and pay to overcome employee risk aversion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficiency_wage

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tournament_theory

>Why should my pay be less than that of a coworker that does the same exact same job as me simply because this is a remote company?

For better or worse, software developer pay is negotiated. Negotiation results are driven by BATNA - best alternative to negotiated agreement. For coworkers that are approximately as valuable to the company, they should get offered approximately the same efficiency wage above their BATNA. Workers in areas with fewer options available to them necessarily have a worse BATNA, so it remains fair that they get paid less.

Furthermore, although your entire salary gets paid by your current employer, they're only really enriching you by the difference between the pay and your BATNA. It's arguably less fair for remote companies to excessively enrich workers outside of competitive metro areas.
I always ask people that say this if they tried using reference counting during the times the borrow checker was too difficult. Rust supports it. There's going to be some performance hit. Most in your situation use GC'd languages, though. So, it seems like Rust with ref counting could still make for easy web development where you get Rust benefits in borrow-checked code but rest is still safe and quick to write.

That's the theory anyway. I haven't gotten any data from people trying that on real-world apps, though. There could be non-obvious problems with it.
I think this is great news but I'm still bitter about the PowerShift debacle.

What I find funny about all this is that I'm certain if YouTube existed a few decades earlier we would likely be under pressure to ban "disgusting" pro-LGBT content or content supporting things as "vile" as interracial relationships.

We would say, these private companies have a duty not to radicalise our children. That our children are being led away from god and into sinful lifestyles like homosexuality.

Some of us would welcome our views being censored by a few execs in silicon valley because we would see them defending the moral values of the status-quo...

Surely I'm not the only one who feels it might be a little short sighted to give a handful of billionaires like Zuckerberg control over what we can and can't express in the 21st century?

If we're so concerned and don't want to see content we morally disagree with, why can't we have family friendly modes?

I for one am glad we were all radicalised to support the "homosexual agenda". I'm glad we were radicalised by people like MLK to resist racism. And sure, there were some extremists along the way who took it upon themselves to commit acts of terrorism for the "greater good", but we understood these people were rare and this was the unfortunate, but necessary cost of liberty.

So before we continue too far down this road, are we certain we have all the answers now? If someone can be banned from social media sites for stating biological (but perhaps unfortunate) facts such as, "trans women aren't women" are we completely sure we'll get mass censorship right this time?

It might be worth remembering vast majority of us hold one or two "extreme views" that others find morally offensive.

Edit: Not that I should have to, but for those who are suspicious of my motives, I'm a left-wing, pro-LGBT, anti-racist type of guy.

Comments like this show exactly why it is important to defend free speech unconditionally. As soon as society agrees that maybe one group of people (like nazis) shouldn't have free speech, you'll get an army of extremists from the other side trying to label anyone they disagree as belonging to said group in order to shut down all political dissent. This is exactly what is happening here, anyone who talks about the problems caused by mass third world immigration into Europe and the US is labeled as a nazi and accused of trying to start another holocaust.

Mumbai Hindi is not a creole by any definition of linguistics. It is actually a dialect of Hindustani with Marathi and other languages mixed in.

A Creole specifically occurs when two languages (usually unrelated) suddenly mix together, usually with a _greatly_ simplified (but consistent) grammar from the parent languages. It's not just the result of heavy borrowing.

I don't believe that's happened for Mumbai Hindi.
