Ok, so how is Brex different in this case? Both are effectively checking accounts, except one is for businesses and the other was for retail customers.
Eeerm... I make magnitudes more now. Make no mistake, I have no complaints at all. I have a higher living standard than all the people I know taking similar positions in western Europe. The point I was trying to make is you need a lot less to live a good life compared to other countries. Back then, even with 400 euros a month(after rent and bills) I don't recall having to make cuts from anything. Forget software engineering, we I am talking about income which is a rock throw away from anyone.
hey guys, I want to take this opportunity to ask if anyone here was born in the early 70s in Baghdad and went to Baghdad College high school (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad_College) in the early to late 80s. We left in 87 to London, UK then Boston, US after that, just before the end of the war with Iran, and I'd like to reconnect with any classmates/old friends who may also be into tech... I'm sure everyone is all over the world by now, in different places. Thank you, and take care wherever you are.

Apple can only stand up to the US government when it comes to privacy and security. They will refuse to unlock a terrorist's iphone when FBI requests it. They can do this because of the fundamental liberty everybody is granted in the US to everybody. The real test of character is how a company reacts to an authoritarian regime like China. That's what reveals the true nature.

And Apple has completely shit the bed in this regard. Google has handled it so much more beautifully.
I'm looking for a person like you. I've started non-profit - LibreTaxi, which is Uber alternative. PoC works and there is some traction. However, there is a need for some funds to make this app native. Ping me if you're interested (email is in profile)

But we did build an awful lot of RISC machines with exactly that idea. And it worked.
I sure hope this format doesn't take off.

Having worked as a dishwasher, line cook, pool manager, business analyst, software engineer, and startup founder, I have to say software engineer was, by far, the most coddled job.

How about this:

I'm a line cook, and I can't afford to be fired. I make minimum wage, and burn or cut myself badly at least once per week. I'm not allowed to take the day off and have to work through it. I work 8 hours nonstop above a very hot grill. I can't see any windows during my entire shift. Nobody respects me. My coworkers are alcoholics.

Edit: of course this doesn't mean software engineers shouldn't work to improve their well-being at work! Yeesh. Just adding some perspective. Earlier in life, I would have killed to have 95% of the work situations described below.

>In what ways do teachers' unions campaign to give agency to students' families and career choice to in-demand faculty?

I’m not sure what you mean by agency here or how many teachers you actually know. But unions have regularly campaigned for more resources for students outside of themselves, including access to things nurses, counselors, and libraries. Schools in many cities are highly racially and economically segregated in the US because of the country’s broader history of redlining and corresponding deprivation. Teachers unions are one of the only interest groups who have consistently fought against this denial of agency for their students.

As to career choices, I have union member teachers in my family and they change schools as they see fit. There are some problems with state licensing incompatibilities that prevent teachers from being as mobile as they might like and we should probably move to uniform federal standards to correct this.

>Seems like the incentives are mostly oriented around getting teachers to stay in one place and grind out another year of experience, round of continuing education, and extra degrees whether they are wise or not.
Otherwise, why don't teachers just quit schools with poor safety records, working conditions, pay, equipment funding, and uncompensated overtime? Because no district really has to worry about being held accountable like that.

Incentives around higher education are perverse in the US in almost every regard, so I’m not sure that teachers are that much of an outlier (especially for their domain, education). As to why teachers stay - I’m not sure if you’re aware but most people tend to live in the regions they’re actually from, where they have family ties and social bonds.

Applying some sort of rational actor economic heuristic to civil servants in a service profession seems a foolhardy endeavor. I mean, I’ve worked for big companies across the country, none of which were any better run and some of which were not better resourced than a failing public school, and they all had their fair share of people toughing it out too. What binds people to a place socially and materially, especially among more working class professions, is different from white collar workers.

Quit. Period. Maybe find a new job first. But don't stick around.
This shouldn't come as a surprise, since Apple is well known for being authoritarian with its platforms. It just so happens that most of the time its values align with those of the users, which is why it's so popular.
I personally prefer Sublime as well, and I looked into VSCode, but the VSCode monoculture also means that VSCode has the best plugins. When it comes to graphical editors, Sublime's golang and Rust extensions are so bad.
How much are people keeping in checking accounts to make that worth it?

Realistically it's better to move as much as possible to a dedicated savings/investment/brokerage account instead, and if you're doing that then why not just write checks against a single combined account?
I think I do, though not for the reason everyone else seems to be posting. Like I do hate my job, like most people do but that's not why.

I think it would force me to get out of my comfort zone, find something new to be excited about. I'm pretty sure I'm to comfortable at the job I hate. I guess it would be interesting to see what I end up doing without work sucking up time. Maybe ill find time to be excited about programming again. Maybe get good at something that I want to be good at.

The redis cache client in Django is effectively an ORM - but a much lighter one. The cache client is also doing compression and uses msgpack for serialization.

Agreed. However, Android has removed Gab and other free speech apps from it's appstore, too. Although you can circumvent android easier than iOS. This is a tough call -- security versus freedom, and I don't know what the right trade off is. I'd still counsel my parents to use Apple.

Because the “uprising” is a mostly US/Jew orchestrated fabrication that fueled and leveraged underlying resentments not dissimilar to the MO playbook for the “Arab spring” or more recently HK.

The aim is to weaken Iran’s influence in the Shia south (remember, Iran is Shia) where the vast majority of the oil infrastructure and national center of power, including population resides.

This is a continuation of the degenerate Obama administration communist “community organizer” perspective on statecraft and nation building. If you know anything about his perspective and if you ever were to see his sealed writings from his academic career and education, you would see his grubby communist regime emulating social engineering hands all over this stuff.

It has taken a bit of a more common tactical subversion approach, but this still has the comrade “community organizer’s” minions’ fingerprints all over it.

I’m sometimes surprised I don’t see more blame of retard Bush for causing all this mess, but besides people having no real wherewithal for protracted attention and focus, reality is that what the Obama degeneracy hangover is currently doing in Iraq, is really no different than what retard Bush did simply because the masters of America didn’t like the dictator they installed anymore.

It’s all fun and games though. Fun and game, my friends.

> my tone sounds combative

That's because your tone is combative.

Certain things are expected of students, and some children are not willing or able to do those things. That makes them a bad student; the same way that someone that won't run would make a bad soccer player. It doesn't make them a bad person. It doesn't mean they can't become a good student by changing their behavior. But they _are_ a bad student.

You can argue that what is expected of a student should change, and you appear to be doing that in a roundabout way (by calling the current curriculum "stupid, boring, authoritarian bullshit "). But that doesn't change the fact that individuals who will/can not participate as expected with the current expectations are, by definition, bad students.
Who should decide?

Of course not. And there are better jobs than software engineer. However, I do believe it's possible to stack rank jobs, and Software Engineer must be in the top quintile in terms of quality of work-life.
Your now() in tests depends on current moment.

You cannot test how your code behaves when midnight passes, when daylight saving time changes either way, when it's 29th of February, etc.

More importantly, you cannot reliably (let alone quickly) test how your retry and timeout handling works, especially if two threads interact, or when you do (stubbed or mocked) remote API calls. All these things are the daily bread when working with Google's services, and basically at any setup with multiple (micro)services.
I'm a third world sweathop worker. I was forced to make clothes here ever since I could walk. There are hundreds of people packed in to this tiny windowless room, and every time there is a fire I die. My coworkers can't even afford alcohol. Every time I hear decadent American line cooks complain about their working conditions, all I can think is, they have it so easy.

I'm not sure about iOS, but Android still allows installing unsigned APKs (F-Droid and similar platforms work because of this), and what has already been installed stays on the phone until the user removes it.
I agree with you that line cook is a very hard job and I have nothing but respect for all the workers out there facing daily harsh conditions.

Having said that, I also understand that mental problems caused by stress at work, the abuse and pressure some intellectual workers face is as real and dangerous, however is less visible.

That's why I think that people reading this should not underestimate those dangers and look for a change from those conditions regardless of whether they come from mental or physical sides of our jobs.
It compiles to both CPU and GPU. GPU is faster and headline numbers are for GPU.
Yes, that would be constructive. My fear is that often, these threads devolve into devs enabling each other's entitlement rather than illuminating it.

Yes, this illuminates the point even better. Software devs are among the best treated first world employees. In a global perspective, most (but not all) complaints are laughable.

This is an amazing phrase.
The minor hassle involved in making Windows 10 a far superior option to Windows 7 can be completed in about the same amount of time as it would take to manually install one of these third party "security" updates. It's just turning off a bunch of ad tracking settings if you're bothered by them, and uninstalling a bit of preloaded rubbish and you aren't relying on a third party to inspect code and port patches as best they are able.
Because it's a cozy job in the US? Software Engineers face horrible working conditions in a lot of parts of Asia, far worse than your line cook example.
Whatever works for you is great. I’d just suggest you be careful that you don’t first establish yourself as somebody who will tolerate bullying. Once you’ve laid the groundwork for that, undoing it can be much harder than just avoiding it in the first place.

That sounds like a feature, but it has a very important downside.

One of the biggest reasons that politicians hesitate to send in the troops is for the very reason you mention. Killing from afar with no accountability or political downside is a recipe for permanent warfare. In fact, there is a significant upside to them from the defense contractors.

You could argue (and many have) that we have already seen the start of this with the US drone program.

If you're that young (18??), you can almost definitely afford to quit tomorrow and look for something better.

It very probably is the opposite. A lot of people who end up working at 18 are doing it because they need the money and their support network is poor.
Not only that.. if you click on their link to 'expert networks' to talk to.. one of them is apparently completely staffed by 20-somethings that look fresh out of college. Doesn't inspire the idea of expertise.
It wouldn't. I didn't say that.
1. There is no lower-bound on wealth at which people stop needing loans. Arbitrarily poor people can benefit (a lot) from loans. The main issue is that people who are poor in rich countries are more likely to be people who make poor choices.

2. You did not address my point that if there is no way to stop people from getting illegal loans (loan sharks), it's better to give them loans at the market rate rather than the even higher rate loan sharks must charge because they operate outside the law. This consideration is very similar to legalizing drugs.
Apparently I was wrong! They got it super small.
