I highly doubt that they would actually decrease the price. They maybe wouldnt increase it, but unlike the bargaining on a fair, the seller can not see that the prospective buyer is really struggling to make ends meet, and sell it at a loss to help them out.

Off the topic : A decent suitcase, without battery, costs about 225 USD, as per their website.

In India Rupees, that about 15,000 Rs. In India, the costliest similar suitcase, from a well regarded brand, VIP is about 10,500 Rs. ( https://www.vipbags.com/product/fairway-graphite )

Are suitcases so costly to produce? Or is the cost the cumulative effect of overheads?

15,000 Rs. is the median monthly income for many jobs in India. Especially service jobs.

What is it about Away suitcases that demand such high prices?
It's important to dress the part when you want to achieve something working with others. Put on the mask and try to become that role.

It's also important to not get attached to the image that comes back as projection from others.

Dressing casually in all situations and all groups is a sign that you are fixated to some self-image, exactly the same way as always being Dapper Dan is. You will self-select yourself into a some group and role in it without knowing it. The role you are most comfortable in is not what you really are. It's just where you are most comfortable. Challenging that may be stressful.

There is no role that is 'real you'. What you 'really are', or finding your 'true self' is pop psychology. Being comfortable and constantly adjusting to situations and roles is the best we can do.
Has anyone experiences with asciicast2gif?

On the surface this looks just like what's needed to make this work for me:
I like the recording tools, but don't want to be forced to embed a player from a third party service.

Looks like asciinema2gif relies on PhantomJs which brings withit an entire browser and is also no longer maintained.
This looks very bloaty for a tool that should convert terminal input to a gif file.

Is it working relieably and reasonably fast?
A forced choice is only a severe limitation if it’s significantly worse. That’s currently a guess as there are no iOS comparable options to consider at this point in time.

Further, Google has a competitive interest in eventually crippling their iOS rendering engine.Then again I don’t use desktop Crome so that could be my bias talking.
To everyone saying that code is a liability and not an asset, and that it's worthless, how do you explain that there are online marketplaces making millions by selling "code" online, such as ThemeForest, CodeCanyon, Unity Asset Store, etc.

I guess it is harder to make a platform and just sell it exclusively to a client than making a platform and offering it as a product for many other developers. In this case though, he might just be able to sell a few hundred copies of his code for like $100, which is not a lot of money, asuming the platform is fully functional.

So what are the axioms for Western philosophy?

EDIT: Ludwig Wittgenstein's work is pretty axiomatic right?
Sure but that is assuming:

The very best case for the non-college trajectory which is that you were able to work on real, cutting edge problems from your entry into the workforce and had the discipline to learn the important parts of CS fundamentals required to work on them.

The very worst case of college education - doing only the required for the degree, no side projects, industrial placements, or advanced topics.

Yes, a good autodidact doing genuinely interesting work is going to be a more valuable contributor at 22 than someone who has spent the last four years doing a CS degree by the numbers. That's not a good example because those are two different people. Many people who enter the tech workforce at 18 may spend years doing paint-by-numbers business applications using a single set of tools, those people aren't going to FAANG jobs.

Without any further details I would suggest that this is entirely a communication issue and not one of code quality. "Good code" is not really something that can be defined, and learning general design patterns might help you in a general sense but I don't think it's going to fix this problem you're currently having. If your team is outright rejecting your PRs then knowing one other pattern or learning functional programming are not going to help you.

Next time you're writing something of any significance, speak to the people on your team who will be reviewing the PR. If you aren't sure of how to design it, come up with a design collectively. If you do have an idea, ask them to approve it on a high-level before you write any code. The entire thing should be a collaboration, not you coding for however many days before finally exposing your code to your team in the form of a PR.

This can be easier said than done, depending on how communication works at your company and on your team, but if your team and the people reviewing your code won't guide you a bit before and during your implementation of something then again I don't think knowing a couple more patterns is going to solve this problem.
r/askphilosophy
I've been coding for >25 years, and leading teams for most of that.

I've never met a developer who could consistently do good work for over 40(ish) hours a week.

My rule with my teams is that I expect them to be "present" (even if remote) for 8 hours. The norm is about 6 hours of that to be actually coding, the rest is communication (which is vital).

If there's an urgent deadline, I'll let people stay to about 10 hours. After that, though, they're just going to be damaging the code base, so I send them home. And at this point, this became a scheduling fault rather than a developer fault. And the developer gets time off in lieu if they do >8 hours.

I've learnt this set of rules from experience. When I was younger, I thought I could code for days straight (and once pulled a 36 hour marathon, which was a disaster). I was wrong. I've watched lots of other people do the same.

If you don't believe it, try it. Pick a project and work at it for 12 hours straight, and compare your bug count / code quality in the first couple of hours to the last couple of hours.

It's actually kind of ironic that the OP indulges in such blatant well-poisoning, when that's exactly the kind of fallacious argument that ruins public discourse.

On the broader issue, while I don't agree with gatekeeping, I do think it's important to educate people about when social media is at its best and when it's at its worst. Among relatively small groups of people who already have a fairly strong connection - e.g. families, clubs, hobbies - but can't readily get together in person, social media can do a lot of good. Corporate accounts, or accounts with a million effectively anonymous followers? Generally garbage. Note that these distinctions are easily made based on structure, not content. Without getting into the issue of who should do what about these less beneficial structures, I think we'd be better off without them.
Why aren't there more recent books on L-systems? I was very surprised at the scarcity of them considering the popularity of the topic.
not sure this counts as flamewar, so i'm risking some sanctions, but still..

languages can be concise and code can be about the problem without any magic. looking at code for the sake of satisfying language limitations means not looking at the code for solving your problem. it may be comforting to look at boilerplate because you're familiar with it, but it's taxing away your ability to grasp the substance. visual locality matters because that's how our brain works and there can't be visual locality with boilerplate. furthermore everything that's visually remote has to fit in our very limited capacity to mentally juggle concepts, that's why locality and generality (fewer concepts to juggle) is important. golang lacks both generality and conciseness. i have no idea why it's found the audience it has beyond my initial angry comment and maybe also because it's "new".

> Like it or not, I've most likely been referred and/or gotten deals through due to my Omega Speedmaster, my Burberry winter coat, hade made expensive leather shoes

I hate to break it to you (or maybe you will consider it a good thing), but no one took the time to notice those minute details about you. Store bought leather shoes that are well-polished look virtually identical to handmade. Unless you hold your watch up to people their faces, few are gonna spot its an Omega, let alone that the make is a Speedmaster (cheers btw, I love the moonwatches).

People will spot that you take care of your appearance and try to go for a sophisticated style, but beyond that few will notice the minutia.

Hell, I can do you one better: one time when I was at my parents for an extended stay I decided to buzz most of my hair off whilst they were shopping. I had pretty long hair.

When I was a young boy I was obsessed with trucks. My father was friendly with a local rigger and we visited his yard. It was heaven with trucks, cranes, and machinery all over. But the centerpiece was his heavy hauler Peterbilt with a large multi axle lowboy trailer. He put me in the driver's seat and I vividly remember that arched "corvette" dash covered in shiny polished gauges and switches and the high up view. Felt like I was sitting atop a building. I wanted to be a trucker! Well it don't quite work out that way but still to this day I have a great appreciation for them and went to a few antique truck shows. I even bought a 1961 MAck B61. It's a slow yet fun resto hobby. Everything is massive and takes considerable effort to manipulate.

Setting aside that many here are self-taught (or haven't even reached university age yet, the first class when I went to university had an interesting bimodal distribution: half the class already knew how to program well, the other half had no idea), there are other reasons why an article like this is useful:

* Some might not have learned that particular piece of knowledge, either because their particular OS class didn't cover it, or because they skipped it;

* Others might have learned it, but later forgotten all about it, or at least some of the details;

* Even if they do remember it, this article can act as a reminder ("pay attention if you set thread priorities, because priority inversion").

After hearing stories from my wife, who works at a daycare, I believe the crappy pay for childcare professionals is holding down the skill level. If a childcare worker can learn the basics of childhoold developmental psychology, education, and some medical techniques, then what's stopping them from just getting a more profitable college degree? Some people with bachelor's degrees come in, but they don't stay long.

Only after working in childcare for 16 years did she land at an employer who required all workers to pass a decent certification course at a community college. If daycares paid better, they might retain skilled workers.

Having watched a bunch of videos about their clothes out of curiosity, I have to say they do seem to make use of decent-quality materials, with the caveat that Gore-Tex never lasts as long as it's supposed to, and it's completely impossible to repair once it starts delaminating.

You spent a decade developing this knowledge and techniques while on the company's payroll, under the company's direction, and for the company's purpose. This is their IP, and this ownership is almost certainly cemented in your employment contract. If after 10 years of benefiting from, and contributing to, the company's operational and technical knowledge you start working on something that "looks very similar", it is in your best interest to consult a lawyer.

Edit: Before we start sorting what the company does or does not own (e.g. "the company can't own IP for this e2e test harness setup!"), it is useful to ask yourself if 1) you're prepared to defend these points in court 2) you can afford to do so against a corporation, and 3) the ROI of that is justified.
>All of today's ad-tech is set up and developed for that purpose. Whether overtly or covertly, it is the singular purpose, because the case is so clear cut: We are distributing the share of the pie between companies and consumers.

That's not entirely true though. Better ad targeting increases the "size of the pie" by increasing the chances that a consumer will find something that's useful to them.

>At this stage, it is entirely rational and ethical to consider the entire ad industry as hostile.

At that point, why not consider the entire software industry as hostile? They're the ones that enable this, so clearly they are also the devil. Life is not this black and white. Ads do serve a useful purpose, to which degree cookie based ads do that, I'm unsure, but it would be very difficult to start a business without any kind of advertisement.
It's not really an applicable argument here. That's a general time/availability/word situation discrimination, which I think I would be ok with, to a limited degree.

I was arguing against people based discrimination, without any meaningful relevance on availability. Again, I think reasonable and reasonably qualified discounts are ok, but not increasing prices for the same product and service.

I was answering the question about following someone in the other silo (not possible), not implying that the siloing makes data exfiltration absolutely impossible.

Note however that for the Chinese silo, they can just open the front door, whereas doing the same for the international version would endanger their profits.

For the surveillance agencies, hacking the database is probably easier than setting up an official channel that too many people would have to know about and agree to.
