Why would you want the psychological ability to do that? You could just as well be training to recall the names of every Pepsi soft drink.
Eh I'm not positive it should even be able to support a single person... Why do we insist on raising the bar for employment so high? If a 16 year old wants to get their first job, they shouldn't be required right of the bat have a productive output sufficient to support themselves. That's not the point of minimum wage jobs - or at least it never was until we started arbitrarily setting a minimum value.
You know this for certain, that the minimum wage earner can, and that there is a large enough supply of housing available for them?
Eh, they were very different. From a technical perspective I'm not sure which bug is worse (FWIW the Bitcoin one happened 1 year after it launched and 5 years before Ethereum launched), but the justification for forking Ethereum was weaker and more controversial.

Ethereum was forked to revert the loss of funds (about 3% the current supply of ETH I think) of users of a specific (but popular) buggy contract. Ethereum itself would have survived without the fork.

The Bitcoin bug enabled an attacker to create ~184 billion Bitcoin, resulting in something like 50,000% inflation. Not reverting that would absolutely have killed Bitcoin.
Supporting only one person means that there is not enough left to support any children. Or a sick relative. Or to otherwise live a fulfilling life.

Not everyone has the opportunity to move on to a better paying job.
Why would a minimum wage worker be trying to buy a 2-bedroom home?

Edit: Meant to say rent instead of buy
I think you can often avoid reasoning about all possible paths, by having one try-finally block per each resource to be freed.
This comment spooked me so I went back to my emails and checked what Linode said:

> The $50 credit can give you up to 10 months of hosting on our 1GB plan. You can also use the credit towards our add-on services such as backups, Block Storage, or NodeBalancers. Use the promo code today!

So they mentioned 10 months in the email, and I searched a bit further and didn't see anything about service credit expiration. You can also get service credits using referrals, coupon sites, and even blog posts:

The problem with doing this with Teslas, as I have had one for years and thought about building this, is trusting someone else to hold your credentials for your car. There is no authorization scoping and anyone with the credentials can find the car, unlock it, get in and drive it away. Also, plenty of mischief as well like opening the sun roof, the trunks, flashing the lights and honking the horn. I wish they had proper OAuth with scopes that could support use cases like this one.
> I am not sure why people think minimum wage must be enough to afford a two-bedroom home

Disregarding the home part (cities are being ruined by single family deatched homes)--because if that's not true, then America has failed its citizens.

Also, I hate to be the person to bring this up against my own post, but downvoting because you disagree with me is not good for productive conversation. Dogmatic belief in real-estate-as-investments is not going to solve anything—having this conversation isn’t going to destroy your investment as a homeowner or even landlord.

> the terrible morality of the government forcing [vaccines] down on people

For many of us, there's nothing moral about an anti-vaxxer's insistence on personal autonomy (read: "You're not the boss of ME!") when it could endanger thousands of others. Anti-vaxxers had better be prepared for an effort to get them to do otherwise — OK, sure, by kindly persuasion if that's possible, but if not .... And yes I do realize that's a two-way street.
Because "minimum wage" is the floor of the economic spectrum -- and basic economics dictates that if some people have more money, they'll drive their desires purchases above the price someone with less can afford. However, you need to pay more for some jobs, because they're harder or require more skill.

Further, empirically, stratified-by-economics societies are more stable than forced-equal-by-government societies.
It is not that hard for C++ developers to pick up Rust. The borrow checker makes explicit safety requirements that exist in C++.

The tooling does need to be more mature but for many projects the pioneer tax paid to improve the tooling may be worth it. Besides, it's not as if C++ dependency management is very mature either — most people build custom tooling for that anyway.
This looks like a spam/"seo bullshit" account
Ooh Facebook. By thread I thought you meant reddit or HN.
Are we worried that raising the minimum wage will cause companies to do a thing they are already doing?
Unfortunately I do not have the strong understanding of theoretical fundamentals of CS, or math. I have practical programming experience, but that's about it.

I'm looking to take the program not just for the credentials, but also to cover all of the math/CS knowledge I will need for OMSCS.
> Memory safety is certainly not the only kind of safety, but it is alas the only kind of safety supported by Rust (and every other language except C and C++).

I think the parent poster's entire point was that Rust does provide safety beyond memory safety. Perhaps not as a forced concept, ie: you do not have to express all structures as finite state machines, but you can very elegantly express your structures as finite state machines. And you can do so in a way that most other languages can't, because of affine types.
It is why I try to use it when feasible. It does a better job of indicating "the other side's" views.
So perhaps they should split a 2/3 bedroom with roommates?

If someone makes the absolute legal minimum, why does every expect them to live alone?
Not to mention that just about all of the changes I've heard about in Python from 2 to 3 are changes that Perl5 has already handled in a backwards compatible way.

> .m4a that I can then add to iTunes (obviously, that step could be automated as well)

Since you're already using automator, you should be able to add the "run an applescript" action to add the file to itunes

From https://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/info03.php:

open

Use this command to add a file to a Master Library ("Music", "Audiobooks", and so on, depending on the kind of track) and start play. Requires the alias of the file to open, which suggests you might want to use the AppleScript "choose file" command.

tell application "iTunes"

I would love to have one single, continuous touch screen instead of what the car is providing me.

I only care about the speed and fuel level. And a big STOP when something is wrong.and style feedback on things Iwill have to change soon.

Then radio and possibly two buttons.

Not in a house. Apartments, either a studio or splitting a 2/3 BR with roommates.
Yes, please. Accessibility requirements that push developers toward static or mostly-static pages tend to also help usability in general even for non-disabled users.

Too many web developers go for the full JS framework-heavy application architecture without stopping to consider if the project in question is trying to replace a native desktop app or if it's trying to replace a PDF document that could be printed on paper. The latter projects need to be pushed back toward simpler HTML.
I can agree that the minimum wage was never intended to support a family 100%.

However, stating that it was never intended to support a person 100% is just flat out ignorant. The history of minimum wage is easily read up on.
> So they chose to make a language with less "book keeping and repetition"

Yes, less repetition and more

x, err := dostuff();
if err!=nil { return nil, err; }

y, err := otherstuff(x);
if err!=nil { return nil, err; }

z, err := morestuff(y);
if err!=nil { return nil, err; }

w, err := alsodo(x,y);
if err!=nil { return nil, err; }

Truly an excellent design.
Minimum wage is an artificial value which is propped up by law, and can change without respect to an individual's situation. It would be better to aim for the highest wage an individual can get in exchange for labor.
I thought for a moment that this was actually real news then I realized it was fake!
On the anecdote train I studied fine arts and work as a dev in a FAANG. 5 years practical experience and a few months optimizing for leetcode. Nobody seemed to care about my degree and getting final rounds was easy enough.
It will accelerate automation if the math makes sense. McDoanld’s are going cashierless, and grocery stores will increase self-service checkout (requiring only sentries and stockers at the store). Retailers will shut down brick and mortar stores (30% of malls will shut down in the next 5 years).

I’m all for automation, but the greater question is transitioning people gracefully.
Still more reliable and orders of magnitude more powerful than any free service.

That's all well and good if 16 year olds are the only ones making minimum wage.

I'm not saying he was wrong, but it's certainly an over simplification. I don't know where he was getting his steel, and it seems very likely that the source of US steel near him was of really low quality. The US steel near me is generally higher quality than the chinese steel around here. For simple hot or cold rolled steel, both are fine.

If you need nice steel, or nice case iron, the Chinese material is bad. You can't really grind any chinese cast iron that I have seen precisely, and none of the steel that I've seen from there has been clean or dimensionally accurate. For most uses, that doesn't matter, and it is totally fine. The European and American tool steel is FAR FAR better than anything that I've seen from china. I tend not to use chinese HSS for steel, since it breaks so easily.

Minimum wage doesn’t track inflation. If it did, I would have no complaints. But it’s hard for me to understand people saying minimum wage should only be for one person eking out a bare existence, when it’s value in real money has fallen over the past 70 years.
Yeah, I have no sympathy for you. What’s really happening is that you are delivering a discriminatory experience out of convenience. It’s no different than a restaurant server delivering shitty service to a black family because they stereotyped that people with kids and black people tip less.

If your developer takes the technology seriously you should be able to nail about 80% of WCAG AA compliance with minimal effort. I suspect instead your frontend is knee deep in frameworks and abstractions to make the developer’s life easier without regard for the imposed costs of these abstractions.
I actually prefer the double clip style because I find it more comfortable, too! Just offering an anecdote that might help explain your observations - I can't be the only person who does this.
Exactly, it's meant for high school kids looking for pocket money! That's why McDonald's is always closed during school hours.
And housing in those areas is also much cheaper.
Not saying this is the best course for you, just something to consider--

If your endgoal is simply "get into AI/ML" for the fun of it (as opposed to strictly for the money), you might be better served pursuing a BS in Data Science itself. There are some online schools that offer it and they dump you straight into the fun bits you're interested in. Depending on your career ambitions that may be good enough.

You've already committed 4 years to a Bachelor's. I see you planning on another 2 for a generic CS and another 2 for a MS. You'll have wasted a lot of time and money if you only find out in year 7 that AI/ML isn't for you after all.

Regardless of what you intend to do, be wary of cost balloons with all online courses. A lot of online courses tell you it's $x for the course, but after the fact they require you to purchase subscriptions to third-party online services or new-only textbooks with software license keys. Sometimes financial aid covers that, other times not.

Best of luck!
Great point. Yeah for a lot of things it's likely impossible to know who infected you. And in those cases, my gut would tell me "blame the people who didn't get vaccinated" which brings us to the same conclusion.

I mean even if we were able to identify the people responsible and make them pay damages, it seems unethical to allow parents to make decisions like these that in the end subject the innocent child to illness and even poverty (in the case where the parent is sued).
Is that what the article is saying? Their reference to 'median' is saying that's what other people are reporting and they want to look at something else.

They don't seem to qualify it - they simply say 'there is not one U.S. state, metropolitan area, or county in which a minimum wage worker who clocks 40 hours a week can afford a two-bedroom apartment'. They don't use the term 'median' anywhere apart from talking about other articles. The report they link to talks about 'fair market rate' - not sure who decides what's fair and what isn't.
Is there anywhere I can find a side by side comparison for a remastered video with the original?

I'm having trouble identifying the differences.
Yeah this is a bit confusing. If minimum wage was enough to afford a 2 bedroom, why would we even bother building 1 bedroom and studios? So people who could otherwise afford 2 BR downgrade?
Isn't there a huge conceit that that's who earns minimum wage? Looking around my local wal-mart, it would appear many people first entered the job market at weird times in their lives.
Sure, it's possible, and every web application worth its salt should make sure it doesn't use GET requests to mutate state. I'm just saying that if it wasn't so unintuitive (i.e having to just know of all the styles browsers tend to apply to buttons, and how to change them to how browsers tend to style buttons), people would have made that mistake less.

The thought process should have been as straightforward as, "I want this link to modify state, so I'll use <a method='post'>".

I agree that using JS is probably okay for most tasks these days, but 1) a lot of web platforms were written at a time before JS was widespread, and 2) just throwing together some HTML is a lot easier than adding javascript to every link. (If you don't think that speed/ease of programming matters; you'd be surprised to learn how many internal tools various places use were just thrown together and isn't a polished product.)
With kids, though?
The unforeseen trouble AI is now causing
Nobody aims to remain at minimum wage... The problem is we've been doing a great job of hollowing out the middle of our economy and replacing it with a relatively small amount of upper middle-class tech jobs and massive VC backed profits. This often leaves minimum wage jobs the only option for people who used to make more but their career tanked for reasons outside their control
Or maybe we can actually pay people a wage allowing them to lead some semblance of a decent life? Why does it fall on them, instead of the actual businesses paying them?
There are very few good reasons to record 50fps video, but a lot of it already exists, and it would be nice to retain the ability to play it with correct frame timing. I occasionally switch my monitor to 50Hz for 50fps video.
There's no single definition of "best"; your is implicit, but what specifically do you imply?

Straightforward, idiomatic imperative code can be "best" if you have to maintain a legacy app and can hire developers with little experience and desire to learn.

Code which is less like Basic can be "best" if it allows your team to move twice as fast, and have 10x as short a backlog of defects to fix. It may take a more expensive team, and some onboarding time for new members, of course.

About the only way to keep your sanity is to treat dates in only one of two ways, depending on the context:

1. As a string you don't touch

2. Convert to seconds_since_the_epoch immediately. Convert back only when necessary (when printing to the screen or sending to a SQL query for example).

This calc problem is somewhat unique because months and years aren't fixed length and it's probably bad if your program says Feb 1 to March 1 is less than a month, or Jan 1 2000 to Jan 1 2001 is a year and a day. Or if Jan 1 2001 to Jan 1 2002 is a year and a quarter of a day. And then you have to account for those occasional years that are divisible by 4 but are not a leap year. And then you have to account for when someone asks for the difference between September 1 1752 and September 20 1752. Pretty soon you're remembering why rules 1 and 2 exist. It should be noted that calc.exe gets this wrong in many ways.

Yes, that's a well-known story. Probably the best demo of all time.

How did Charles Parsons get away with it? He was a Peer of the Realm, in an era when only the House of Lords could try a peer. The story is that when the Admiralty sent some people over to his offices to chew him out, the Prussian naval attache was just leaving. The Admiralty then decided they had better make a deal rather than let the Prussian Navy get ahead.

Parsons was originally shooting for 45 knots or so. The turbines had the power, but they couldn't couple it into the water effectively. No reduction gears, so the props turned too fast. Turbinia had three prop shafts with three props on each shaft, trying to keep the load per prop under control. If they applied too much power, they just bored a hole in the water. That's cavitation.

Transmissions for turbine ships are a big problem. It's one of those things that gets little public attention and is really hard to get right. High-precision double helical gears work, but are hard to make, and were hard to make through WWII. There was a fad for turboelectric drive, like a Diesel-electric locomotive, in the 1920s. No need for reduction gears. That idea comes and goes; the Zumwalt class destroyers are turboelectric drive.

While "Mary had a little lamb" may be the part everyone remembers - and is THE REASON why the FDA was founded - the book spends more time discussing exploiting labor (unions and busting them); the role of banks in predatory housing; the role of transportation networks in segregation; and all kinds of issues related to immigration, education, and public health.
It would be easier and better to just help out edge cases directly. A 16 year old kicked out of their house for a pregnancy shouldn’t be forced to work minimum wage, but rather receive community support so they can finish schooling and rise to the point where they can prosper.
> The USA went 149 years, from 1789 to 1938, with no federal minimum wage – so yes, America has gone longer without any hike than just than the 10 years since 2009.

You're (likely deliberately) omitting a ton of context as well as presenting a bad faith argument in general. Of course there were no minimum wage increases prior to the minimum wage. I also suspect there was no highway funding increases prior to the New Deal, does that in turn mean we shouldn't fund infrastructure now?

> Many economic experts, ignored by this article, consider no minimum wage to be the optimal level.

I'm sure they do, economic experts are the only ones who still think trickle-down economics is a good idea. Our economy is exploding, and our current problems are far more social, so maybe we should be listening to the sociologists and put the economy on the back burner for right now?

Couldn't the elite just eliminate/enslave the rest of the population altogether and rely on automation?
Indeed. Eliza was created to kill the magic. The author, Joseph Weizenbaum said it precisely.

'It is said that to explain is to explain away. This maxim is nowhere so well fulfilled as in the area of computer programming, especially in what is called heuristic programming and artificial intelligence. For in those realms machines are made to behave in wondrous ways, often sufficient to dazzle even the most experience observer. But once a particular program is unmasked, once its inner workings are explained in language sufficiently plain to induce understanding, its magic crumbles away; it stands revealed as a mere collection of procedures, each quite comprehensible. The observer says to himself, "I could have written that." With that thought he moves the program in question from the shelf marked "intelligent" to that reserved for curios, fit to be discussed only with people less enlightened than he.'

The phrase "to explain is to explain away" is Shakespearean in its precision.

But such regret at a loss of magic (or put another way, loss of ignorance) is IMO not a good sign, that a person wants to be somehow deceived, and I don't think that's healthy. Bit harsh perhaps but just my view.
