As a frontend developer, IE and Safari have always been awful and give the most trouble. They also pretty much always lag behind Chrome and Firefox when it comes to new standards.

Rather than targeting your frustration towards developers who don't want to or have the time to bend over backwards to accommodate terrible browsers, how about directing that energy towards encouraging those browsers to catch up and stop holding back the web?
I picked bubble sort, because it's literally the example from the first sentence of the article:

> David Hansson, the creator of Ruby on Rails, admitted in a tweet that he wouldn’t be able to write bubble sort on a whiteboard.
>Oil doesn't extract and process itself, and there are many reserves of oil that will never make sense to pump.

True, but the most desirable wells to oilmen once drilled do actually produce oil at such a high rate naturally without further energy input that they need to have their flow rate restricted in order to become manageable. Processing, maintenance and further drilling can then be accomplished from revenue itself without further capital investment.

Relative to other things on Wall Street, it might as well extract and process itself.
> California's marginal tax rate was over 50%,

Is that really true? This official calculator [1] says I'd have to pay only 16k on 200k income.

And this source [2] says income tax tops out at 13.3%.

The Simple Genius of Planning Your Day the Night Before
Graduating in Europe with Master's that cost me nothing, I always feel so bad thinking about the debt my coworkers who studied in the US have to repay.

It's just so wrong and stupid. On top of that I can always go back "home" to get free healthcare too.

US is (at times) so much better when you are an immigrant.

And then so many (who actually have student loans to repay and expensive healthcare to pay for) feel sorry for me because of discrimination (perceived only by them!)
And yet Europe has massive youth unemployment throughout large regions, there is poverty, there are problems. Why are they spending money on trivialities like circus performers in Africa: a place Europeans don't live?

If you can't see why many people would be upset by forcing taxpayers to cough up money and then spending it on that, I'm not sure what to say. Resources aren't free.

So this is NOT Visual Studio but rather VSCode? Do you have insight into why Microsoft keeps making misleading product names? Would it be so horrible to name it VSCode Online instead of Visual Studio Online?

gunicorn (Python, in case you’re lucky enough to not have run across it) forks after creating listener socket(s). Every child does the epoll thing. When awakened, they all call accept4 and then all but one gets -1.

This happens right now and “powers” a stupid amount of the economy. And it’s wasteful.
Eh, there's Stellar, Nano, whatever. There are solutions, the important thing is that cryptocurrencies start having uses other than speculation. It doesn't matter which one is useful as long as one is, and I'd rather use Bitcoin now than use Visa because of a theoretical fear that Bitcoin might not scale to millions of people.
Option 3: Make the schools co-obligors on the debt. In a default, the school pays. I suggested that to a congressman once; he nearly spit out his drink.
Ok, but why does a scooter have to send any position data out to accomplish this?

Why couldn't a scooter just figure out its own position and limit its own speed if it's on a boardwalk?
Why not just do it like any other developed country on earth, make the universities public and drop tuition altogether. Works very well here in Germany.
This is fundamentally incompatible with the idea that everyone should be able to afford to go to college and private institutions need to foot the bill for the costs. We as a society prioritized availability of college education over costs. In order to get both you would likely have to change to some income percentage based repayment system instead of traditional loan repayments and that probably wouldn't be possible unless the government is heavily involved.
I've worked with organizations that encouraged their staff to promote their company on social media. This seems fine. However if that staff member then went out and created 10 profiles for made up people, that would be different. So I think that's where I'd draw the line. Are you posting as yourself on social media, or as a bunch of sock puppets?

Its sort of the Citizens United argument we've had the US. Does money = speech? I would say it doesn't and democracy depends on opinions being represented in good faith, and not just who can purchase the biggest megaphone.
This is infuriatingly stupid. Not only does that waste your time (which we can be uncharitable and say they don't care about), but it wastes their time! i.e. costs lots and lots of money.
It also doesn't help that, at least it seems that, most organizations are, or are close to becoming, manager top-heavy these days.
Upvoted. With docker compose support, I'd definitely move away from the increasingly crusty Cloud9 service from AWS.
Same here. I paid roughly $5k/year for undergrad and about $10k/year for grad. After graduation, only reason people ask me where I went to school was to see where it ranked in college sports. Since my school barely registered, it's easily dismissed. Even better for me since I don't follow sports.

What I did find more interesting is that it all depends on your work ethic and how you carry yourself at the workplace. My lack of interest in sports has hindered me at work slightly because I'm not part of certain groups at work. I've come to find out that they all participate in fantasy sports and meet on Saturdays to talk sports and a little bit of work gets involved. Usually I wouldn't care but some important work-related decisions have come out of that.

And also, even if the sort was important in my app and there was a superior compelling reason to rewrite it internally (one common case is computing 2 things at once), I would probably google what people in the domain do and think first, try to find a few blog post from people who implemented a sort to look at tradeoffs (getting a feel for the politics is in the domain: they probably critiqued each other's "real life" loads, optimization goal: memory vs. CPU vs cache), and then find something on github that I can follow, and do my tweak on.
> It sucks that as BEVs chase ICEs and become more prevalent that will drop demand of oil and therefore oil will get cheaper.

Well - that's kinda good news (if it works that way) for me and my Jeep...

I'd love for there to be a real practical BEV Jeep (or similar off-road vehicle) - but the truth is, the battery tech just isn't there yet.

There is no way to fit a battery pack into a vehicle the size of my 2004 TJ (which is a classic 2-door style Jeep - smaller than the 4-door JK and JL models most people have bought since), while still allowing for a 100+ mile off-road trip.

One relatively recent attempt (which was a 3rd party conversion of a JK - and far, far outside my budget) only got 70 miles or so on a charge - and had to be trailered out to the trail at that.

I certainly hope that the technology gets there, though - the upsides of electric motors for off-roading would be phenomenal. But until it can take me to the trail, do the trail, then get back to pavement on a single "fill-up" - it will continue to be a non-starter for me and others. Ideally, current top-of-line BEV vehicles would need to double (or maybe triple) their range to be able to apply that to off-roading and gain something close to ICE.

Either that, or some way to carry a small and fast way to recharge the battery while on the trail. With currently off-road vehicles, you can carry cans of gasoline with you easily for such needs. That's just not possible (currently) with a BEV type of system.

It's very weird how some of those tech interviews are done. I've luckily never had to do one of those, but from the YouTube videos of training interviews and example interviews, almost everyone seems to be asked to implement a slight variation on something to be found in a Data Structures & Problem Solving book by Weiss. Great if that is what you'll be doing all day, but regurgitating some way to get the smallest number in a list or making a directed graph for a word morphing joke hardly represents anything other than a persons skill to repeat what someone else did and wrote down decades ago.
Saying "just to pay the bills and survive" implies you are barely scraping by. We're still talking about 6 figure IT incomes correct? I think that's a little dramatic.
It depends on what area of the University of Chicago you're talking about.

For those interested in background on this, Paul Tough's 'The Years that Matter Most'[1] has a lot of really interesting, surprising facts about college admissions.

Many of the ideas touched on in the comments here so far are covered in much more detail in that book. One interesting fact is that although there is a lot of publicity from colleges about reaching out to lower income students, there are massive incentives (often necessities) for admissions offices to take less qualified kids who can pay full price.

Overall, I found the book a nuanced and surprising view of the realities of trying to manage college admissions, and of trying to deal with inequality in access to higher education.

It was part of the first beta release that the new iTunes wouldn't support XML exports. So there was warning that it wouldn't work. Public API's doesn't mean "something will never change". It should mean that API's won't change between minor version numbers. The entire purpose of semantic versioning is that there might be major breaking changing when there is a major release.

Apple did in fact provide a method to share music between apps and some apps do take advantage of it. Do you really think that Apple didn't need to do a major overhaul of iTunes?

Of course it's Apple's advice and common sense not to upgrade your OS until the apps you use are updated to support it.

This is all modern software engineering 101.

As a developer there are a few expectations.

- depending on private method may break your code with any point release. The vendor has no obligation not to break code if you depended on a private API.

- If your code breaks calling a public method during a point release, it is a bug and the vendor has an obligation not to break public API's when releasing a point release.

- If the vendor makes a breaking change during a major release (x.0.0). It's the vendor's responsible to communicate the breaking change and give enough notice to developers/users about breaking changes so that either the developer can fix their code, the user can find a replacement app, and/or the user not upgrade.
Then go dig holes and make less money and he can continue on with his life. No one said an engineer was worth more than a ditch digger, just that an engineer is going to be economically better off. I'm an engineer who dug ditches in his youth but also took the time to go to school and put off having a family until it became economically viable to have one. Communism doesn't work it, it kills passion and leads to authoritarianism. Capitalism isn't going anywhere.

I think most people would say you're correct about the Econ department, but that isn't the whole university. Plus, it's not like U Chicago is that far off from other universities when it comes to tuition and fees. They cost $58k, but Columbia University is already above $59k, Dartmouth is $55k, Penn is $56k, Duke is $56k, Brown is $55k, Tufts is $56k,

There are plenty of liberal schools whose sticker price is going sky high.
If someone told me they'd give me $1 if I throw away a dime, why wouldn't I just keep taking their dollars all day long?
Isn't this basically how property taxes are levied?

A home gets assessed and taxes paid based on the current market worth, not just when sold.
I wouldn't be able to write a bubble-sort specifically.

But if I were asked to "sort" a set of numbers, I'm sure I'd come up with some unholy combination of bubble, selection, and insertion sort that got the job done.

I always have to consult the books to remember the difference between bubble, insertion, and selection sorts. But even without documentation, surely people can write a list of numbers (ex: 9, 4, 5, 3, 2, 6, 0, 1, 8, 7), and then tinker with an algorithm until that list was in order? (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)

------------

Here's the thing about programming: you don't have to travel very far before you get into the "nobody knows the answer". The internet provides enough information for the first ~2 months on the job. Specialized books on your topic (ex: GPUs, HPC, OpenMP, etc. etc.) may cover another 1 or 2 months of training on the job.

After that? Nobody in the world is doing what you do. Nobody has to work with your particular configuration of tools, your particular problems (performance? Bugs? Architecture?). Your particular office politics. Literally no one else in the world. And yet, you'll be responsible for coming up with a solution that works, even without any guides.

That's why people like testing people "without the internet". Because in most cases, there's no guide to tell you how to progress a real project in the real world.
One secondary effect might be to reduce the percentage of minority students at 4-year universities, if those students are more likely than average to rely on loans to attend. Opponents of the policy change would ask some very loaded questions about that in any public debate, and they wouldn't be wrong to ask.
Does anybody have any recommended marketing firms for these campaigns, aside from Cat@Net mentioned in this article?

It has been incredibly hard for me to google, and any PR agency I've worked with isn't equipped to do it.

Software firms have been decent but are still developing everything from scratch. They don't have automated ways to manage many profiles at once, so you end up paying for that and then still having nobody that speaks English well enough to control the accounts or even pre-write their statements.

And other ill-equipped groups such as in Malaysia and India - and also cheap labor across Europe - are not good enough at colloquial American English

> Cat@Net strongly denied it was a “troll farm”

Exhibit A, it is incredibly hard to google for troll farms
Same here, got free education in my home country, upto a Masters.

You can store those information inside a SRS system which lets you remember those algorithms essentially forever.
Because a housing crisis leads to skyrocketing home values. They benefit from increased housing prices.

Further, any countering increase in property taxes is dampened by Prop 13. So there is very little reason to sell and cash-in vs just holding on for longer as the problem worsens.

When you are a homeowner with an expensive house, you don't want more homes built. That will increase supply and lower price.
As a mechanical point: income tax comparisons should also include payroll taxes. It may not flip the analysis here, but payroll taxes tend to be much higher in Europe.
Gotcha. I'll admit since there weren't any instructions on doing it in the online admin, and in the docs it's not listed as a subpoint, I got disheartened when I reached the docs and missed it being underneath the instructions for Cloud-hosted. I wouldn't have expected a backwards flow for the self-hosted option, but that's doable. It might be more user friendly for the article to have the headings "Create an environment (Cloud-hosted)" and "Create an environment (Self-hosted)" in the "In this article" menu on the side, or for the "Create an Environment" section to tree both on that side-menu, so it's not missed.
> ...People should know which companies make the products they use.

I agree with this. This is a good gesture of FB warning new and current users signing up/using the service with a screaming all caps logo, given the amount of spying, data mishaps and misinformation reputation they are slowly accruing over the years.

Other than that, this logo looks corporate enough that it should fit nicely with Facebook Workplace's logo.
Quite the opposite. Modern security models (which are to an extent necessary on the hostile Internet) are reserving modular sharing to the elite professional developer class, and preventing users and aftermarket developers from remixing their systems. Things like Greasemonkey are being smothered and blocked by walled-garden native apps, signatures, and browser lockdowns.
You can attend a public university in the US for a fraction of the cost. UCLA is $12,000 a year for tuition. You can also do two years at a community college which costs almost nothing like $50 a credit and transfer to a 4 year university for the the remaining two years.
Do colleges make their budgets public? When a program is taking too long to run the first step is to profile. What does the data say on college costs?

> But that is a tangential problem, in that wealthy donors want to give big gifts for vanity projects rather than to, say, scholarship funds.

In the past I've felt quite motivated to give to scholarship funds. It resonates a lot if you yourself relied on scholarships to go to college. But I feel somewhat more cynical about this since I've seen costs spiraling out of control. The actual price of college can have anything bundled in there. I want to support students, but I feel less good about supporting ballooning costs that are twice inflation when I haven't heard a good reason for this.
Obviously people would rather have a home worth 2 million than 1 million even if its illiquid

Executive summary: Send an image of your driver’s license to a company you never heard of, and hope. Yeah, right.
I agree. In a world where good standard libraries exist, and where Google exists, why would a good software engineer write any of the standard algorithms from scratch?

>So, it is zero risk for the lender to give loan to the 2.7 GPA moron getting a worthless basket weaving degree from the local private lib arts school for $100k.

I don't see how any degree LAC, Computer Science, Math etc is worth risking a dischargeable loan for from a bank's perspective. There's no reason to single out LAC degrees, which by the way can be pretty useful.

The smartest thing for any student to do is declare bankruptcy right away after college when they have nothing and risk losing nothing. That makes no loan worth giving, which is the problem.
Walled gardens weren't as normalized then.
The local incentives do not favor building more housing. The alternative is not federal subsidies but statewide policies that mandate higher density zoning.
Throughout history, every time loans are invented to pay for something, the price skyrockets. House, Cars, Education... except credit cards. What credit cards did is flatten the salary curve, filling the gap between where salaries should be if they increased as much or more than inflation and the cost of living, with debt.

Debt is a powerful tool when used correctly, but most people are unskilled in tool use, financial equations and themselves thus, debt is a Market for Lemons.

Consumers do not know what they are buying. They are buying cash and paying for it with future income.

People are generally more optimistic about their futures and irrationally excited about what they consume.

The banks have been allowed to sell cash with impunity. We have to stop that. We're just cooking the books as an entire society.
the market cap isn't asset backed. it reflects potential future revenue
To stretch the analogy to the breaking point, you probably don't want an "artist" to paint your living room walls.
Your entire post feels like a boomer meme. You're just telling people to be happy with their job, ignore feeling miserable, and how much worse they could have had it.
> we know it can be done since it works for social networks in general
