My family came from a war-torn country. My father grew up very poor. My mom grew up poor. Both escaped poverty by studying and getting scholarships for grad school to come to the US.

I’ve never been poor, but we were lower middle class early on and middle middle class by the time I reached high school. My parents always scrimped and saved. The cars my family owned were all one step before the junkyard. I never got Christmas presents except for 3 years that I can remember. It was disappointing but not soul crushing. We never felt poor but we never ate out ever and never went on vacation ever. Getting Kentucky Fried Chicken was a luxury.

When I graduated from college, I was unemployed for the first few months and needed to stay with friends. After I got my first job, I was the lowest paid person I knew. I also scrimped and saved like my parents, but I never felt poor. I would track all my spending to the penny, until I had saved enough such that I could forget about the change in my pocket.

I’m now a low-single digit millionaire which isn’t that much in Silicon Valley but good enough for me. At one point a few years ago my wife and I were earning over $1M/year. My wife is now C-suite and I’m essentially retired. We have two multi-week trips a year and my kids have never sat in economy. I haven’t had to think about what the price of things were in 15 years now. I just buy whatever I want, which is frankly not much besides computer equipment for myself. Most money I spend is on the kids. I drive a 10 year old Toyota but my wife drives a Porsche.

There’s the old saying that sticks with me. “My father rode a camel, I rode a Mercedes Benz, my son will ride a Lamborghini, my grandson will ride a camel.” My kids are hard workers at school and we try to keep them grounded but their privilege really shows through in ways that I never expected. They really don’t know the value of money or how much things cost. We don’t really spoil them with toys and such but if there’s something educational like a set of books or lego, I will get it for them without thinking. I need to figure out a way to get them to understand the value of money but it’s very hard. Granted they are still young but it’s an important topic that I need to know they understand because I don’t want my grandchildren to suffer because I spoiled my kids now.
It seems very sad to me to think of it as wasting your best years taking care of your aging parents. I considered it a privilege to take care of my parents to the end. To each his own.
I think the priority should be weighted by the time.

If you can optimise game loading and reduce it by 1 minute, or increase FPS by 0.01%, would you still choose the latter?

Trite example obviously but the gta v loading issue was so bad. Decades of human time unnecessarily spent on loading screens.

Substantial revenue opportunity missed because you can't buy microtransactions during a loading screen.

Btw, we should say Portable Python or Python Portable ?
Everyone here is talking about how great PHP is, but why don't we consider it for use nowadays? I know some people still use it, but it's not really an option most people consider anymore. Is that just because it's not cool or modern anymore, or are there some fundamental problems with it that make it a non-starter?

As example: The comment above explicitly mentioned using GCP. GCPs "free" tier includes a whopping 1 GB of free traffic each month, everything over that is individually billed. (Arguably the correct answer is "don't use cloud hosts for such things, their bandwidth is stupidly overpriced for this use case", not "use a CDN to mitigate that")
> The guy who was interviewing me was sitting their shaking his head like that wasn't a valid answer.

I wonder what would be the proper answer. Also if there is a proper answer, they shouldn't ask what your favourite feature is.

I hate it when people ask questions where they expect some sort of exact question to see if you think in the exact same manner as they do. Just ask me what you want to know or I'll pack my shit and leave.
Asymmetry is the rule in my country for both copper and fibre lines, although it's less pronounced with fibre. Symmetric lines are a specific business option.
On the other hand, mortgage interest is often the cheapest way to borrow money. A savvy wealthier homeowner may very deliberately minimize paying back the mortgage in order to invest the borrowed funds elsewhere.

Mortgage interest is also tax-deductible, while personal loan interest is not. This makes the mortgage the last debt to pay off, not the first.
My comment was just a clarification. Maybe this is just my experience but me and my coworkers using both external and macbook displays. After reading the title I thought it will fix heating without closing the lid
The problem you're describing there is a public policy one, not something to do with the scientific community. Public policy should be implemented with a trial at the start and a "check for effectiveness" step at the end because there is no way to guarantee the research it is being based on is accurate. Statistically, we expect a big chunk of research to be wrong no matter what level of integrity the scientists have.

In other news, Marlboro has found, through rigorous scientific study, that cigarettes do not increase the risk of cancer. In fact, they may help reduce the risk of developing cancer by reducing workplace stress.
Yet AMD's driver support is hilariously awful. I spent four hours yesterday trying to install the Pro drivers for a 6700xt on ubuntu 20.04 using the official drivers. No luck.

Nvidia drivers may be closed source, but it just works.

The truth about communism.
A lot of Nazi's really did believe that they were in the right. That Jew's really were an inhuman invader presenting an existential threat.

Of course that is an incredibly fragile idea to hold. There needed to be an institutional structure that tied those views to everyday practical and emotional needs. You hold those views because your power, prestige, money and family safety depended on holding those views. You suck up to you Nazi boss, whos suck's up to his boss in turn, all the way up to Hitler. And weirdly this is how a lot of companies act. Deep down everyone knows that the corporation is a lie. But slowly and surely your words turn into a stream of carefully crafted shibboleth's and cultural references. And you get a promotion and a new car. Your family is safe and your place in the pecking order confirmed. And every few years a new set of words enter the vocabulary that clear out a few oldies and cycle the structure.

The problem here is not politics per-se but top-down command structures that allow viewpoints to be weaponized for career promotion.
R=1.1=everything goes to shit is not a valid inference. R is just the derivative of the case graph. It can and does change on a daily basis, says nothing about absolute levels, and says nothing about how it will evolve over time or what the actual peak levels of infections will be. You can find "exponential growth" in nearly any graph if you want, look at a sine wave for example, and viruses in particular are a curious choice to describe this way because epidemics show S-curve logistic growth, not exponential. It's very confusing to people that it's so often described as exponential because that implies unbounded and very rapid doubling until a day/serial interval before saturation half the population is infected at once, whereas we know that epidemics don't do that in reality.
Your idea of business and what entrepreneurs want is simplistic. You must know it will be easy to find people who don't fit blanket statements like this.

Even if you think this is the natural inclination of the public corporation, not all companies have to go public and not all investors in public companies care about nothing the company does besides make profit. It's a world of humans we operate in, not some kind of logical optimal point.
Don’t think GP is having an issue with a +1 from a black coworker, rather that the coworker had reacted in slack using a black thumbs up.

So GP didn’t want to click the black thumbs up to react using the same emoji, because GP didn’t think that a black thumbs up represented him, and would rather react with a yellow or white thumbs up.

GP is then just saying that non-white coworkers probably feel the same about the yellow thumbs up emoji.

Ultimately using emoji is about expressing oneself, and skin colour is a big part of peoples identity (for better or worse). So it makes sense that they want their expressions using emoji to represent their identity.
Abuse only in the sense they were not designed for this purpose. Like people using <blockquote> to create margins.

It is like using a screwdriver to knock in a nail because you don't have a hammer - better than nothing, but not what a screwdriver is designed for.
The working poor not only lack money, they also lack time. In addition to possibly having to juggle multiple jobs and responsibilities and having to waste time on maintenance problems rich people either can delegate or avoid entirely (e.g. car breaking down because you can't afford a nice car and regular maintenance) poor people also spend a lot more time simply waiting/queueing where sufficiently rich people can either avoid the wait entirely or get preferential treatment.

Cooking requires both time and resources. Most healthy ingredients have a limited shelf life and are bulkier (low calorie density) so you need to do your shopping more often. You then need to store them so they don't spoil too quickly (which is harder if you have a small kitchen and no pantry). Then you need to prepare meals in advance and cook them, both of which requires not only dedicated time but also time available on a somewhat predictable schedule, not to mention making meal plans in the first place to organize your shopping, which not only takes time but also mental energy.

Compare this to simply stocking up on cheap meals and throwing one in the microwave for a few minutes at dinner time.
Proposal:

1/ For best journals: a non-replication betting market for peer-reviewed and published papers. Grants to replicate papers that are highest in the betting pool.

2/ Citation index were citing and publishing a paper that does not replicate lowers the score.

(This should be first used in machine learning research)
I don't see why this is so. I like auto removal of trailing space, I don't see why you can't combine that feature and virtual space. Virtual space just means the cursor/caret moves strictly vertically as you press the up/down keys even as you visit lines that are shorter than the current offset from the left margin. If you alight at such a line and start typing text, the editor simply inserts sufficient spaces to extend the shorter line to the current offset before it inserts the text you are entering. If you are entering only spaces, that's fine too but unless you enter something else at some point all the excess space can be trimmed when you leave the line.
Why is it absurd? The most violent ones left Scandinavia and died fighting or settled elsewhere.
No, those two roads connect two mostly distinct group of people, since most people use either an Apple or a Google smartphone, not both, so I still think it’s a fitting analogy. And what is being argued for depends on who you ask. Some are fine with smaller fees, others don’t like the fact that Apple can control who and what is allowed to use the road, which is immense power for a road that connects millions of people.
It might be a problem in the graphics driver, in which case AMD would need to solve it.
The different rates are reflected in the burnout, low pay, bankruptcy and failure - or the opposite - of the developers who launch on them.

Right now for example its basically impossible to make a reliable income just from PC, for the average solo developer or micro-studio, due to the insanely high 30% commission taken by Steam.

Its necessary to launch cross-platform onto consoles, and optimizing the graphics and control schemes for these devices means that PC is not the focus.
You might want to look at SSH certificate authority and stuff like that.

No more checking SSH host keys, validation is automatic and stuff only fail if something is wrong.

Maybe they needed to swing the thin, light and unserviceable way to experience for it themselves and have more perspective now.
Perhaps you should consider negotiating a higher salary.

One of the attractions of tech jobs in the US is that their salaries tend to be a fair bit higher than in Europe, so if you're already earning the same amount, it might be worth it to research what other people in similar positions are earning in that area.

Another thing you might consider is getting a bank account denominated in US Dollars, and finding a method of transferring the money that has a lower spread and / or lower fees. But currency fluctuations between USD and your local currency may still be much greater than 3%, which could have a significant impact.
Where are the articles asking these questions about ICE engines? Ever driven by a scrap yard?
Yes, the GP was speaking about the US at large offering those protections, which it does not.

> There are no cheap cuts of meat at my Safeway.

When I was a kid, steak was a rare luxury.

These days, you can buy a nice steak in the supermarket for $3 (I buy when they have a 2 for 1 sale). Heck, a bag of chips costs about that. You don't have to be much of a cook to cook it, either. Just put it in the frying pan.

A dozen eggs is $1.99.

The expensive stuff is the cookies, candy bars, doritos, etc.
This works until something does go wrong. At least with NixOS you can simply roll back!
The petro dollar is enforced by might and invasions.

Nixon created it when he decided to leave the gold standard after France demanded physical gold as payments.

Iran and other countries under US sanctions use alternatives including barter. Bitcoin can just be one of those tools. But bitcoin mining is more a function of cheap electricity and high bitcoin prices. Electricity is cheap in Iran. 4.5 percent of bitcoin mining is negligible given the context of the sanctions. One would expect it to be at say 20 percent as their is an American embargo on the country.

This just seems to be more of a click bait article for self promotion or company promotion.
I've used Linux since it was first available in the mid 90s.
I use it at work and on machines at home. It is almost certainly more reliable than Windows and MacOS as a server. However, the context here is desktop UI and laptops.

Linux does exceptionally well considering there is almost no money at all going into this use case. But there are many bugs, sometimes due to hardware (e.g ACPI inconsistencies, even Thinkpads have issues) and because of software churn (few fix bugs in their spare time, it's more fun to create something new).

If you wish to pretend that everything is perfect and there are no problems, then you aren't helping Linux either.
It shouldn't be I suppose. Personally, I've written so much in editors over the years that the common GUI behaviour seems weird to me.
I have solved the last "bug" by using xubuntu, which has an astonishingly stable, coherent and well integrated xfce desktop experience. There something similar for Fedora perhaps?
Decent steak is $10+ a pound. Good cuts of pork and chicken are $2 a pound. Beef is expensive.

Even high fat ground beef is still $4 a pound.
In my early 20s, and during the recession, I worked at a gas station. I also bought a house, so even though I didn't like the job or plan to be there long, I was trying to get promoted (entry-level managers made almost twice as much as entry-level associates, factoring in OT and bonuses).

I was seen as a great worker, because I worked when I was supposed to, but I had a terrible time getting promoted. No one at my particular station was getting promoted, so I assumed it was just a long process. The gas station was also hiring a lot of managers from outside the company - people who had more lucrative and prestigious jobs, which were the casualties of the recession.

One day, though, a new, young, single-mother started with the same job (associate) I had, and I watched her get promoted within a month or two. She was a fine worker, nothing wrong with her, but she was not a better worker than I was.

I do think that being a single mom expedited her promotion. You couldn't talk to her for more than a minute without learning her backstory and hearing about how much she loves her son. I think management saw her as an easy person to root for, and I can't really fault them for that. But, she also played the game much better than I did. When she worked, you knew she was working. In subtle and not-so-subtle ways, she'd make sure everyone knew how much she was busting her ass. At the time, being young and naive, I thought it was extremely distasteful and painfully corny. I didn't understand the concept that management really only pays attention when you give them reason to. Either you're fucking up or fucking off, and they need to correct you; or you're shining your own spotlight on what you've done and how impressive it is. Only experienced and thoughtful managers will properly value good workers who don't make a show of it.

She was also more gregarious than I was, and it'd be disingenuous to share this anecdote without noting that. I think it's part of my bigger point, though. I wanted to make more money so that I could live more comfortably, but she needed to, and the ways we played the game reflected that.
Haha, I was thinking offer a thousand dollar discount at checkout!

Instead of the "Dollar Store", I'd be opening the "Grand Store - nothing under a Grand!"

I'd say cooking a meal typically takes me about an hour if I include cleanup and preparation -- and that's while owning a dishwasher while not factoring in time spent on making meal plans and changing plans because an important ingredient isn't available or just time spent buying ingredients because not everything is available in one place.
> If I grow some cucumbers in my garden, who have I stolen them from?

The cucumbers aren't stolen, but the land is. Ultimately almost all private property in land was dispossesed of common ownership or previous inhabitants. Not that you need to feel guilty about it, but you do need to pay your taxes.

Until this is fixed, people need to stop saying "listen to The Science", in an attempt to convince others of a given viewpoint. Skeptical people already distrust our modern scientific institutions; not completely obviously, but definitely when they're cited as a cudgel. Continued articles like this should make everyone stop and wonder just how firm the supposed facts are, behind their own favoured opinions. We need a little more humility about which scientific facts are truly beyond reproach.
probably, because even today you can drop the program into a container and it will work - I guess a working X11 server is going to stay around for some time too! The only problem is 3D acceleration, but good luck running DX8 and older apps on Windows 10.
No need to be too black and white in that statement. Perhaps a better analogy would be men tend to be taller than women, but there are many women who are taller than men.
Working at a startup is overrated, both financially and emotionally
I made an attempt to compile glibc myself when I ran into the same issue when playing Nebukadnezzar on steam. But that is no easy task. I think it's directly tied into the rest of Linux. Targeting an older version of glibc is much easier.

(Nebukadnezzar recommended using Proton, which worked fine.)
Philosophy is a collection of more or less consistent opinions. It is pointless to debate who is right, because there will never be a sure answer.
I feel you about that. :p Well, what can I say? I thought it was the right thing to do at the time :P ;) xx;p
You're kind of describing poetry. I think Python has a real future with solved packaging if Poetry can get the backing it needs at the language level.
It’s not just a player facing thing either. Substantial loading times can really hurt iteration speed for developers. It’s kinda sad to see fellow game developers defend it as a low priority when it really, really shouldn’t be.
>All I can recommend is, don't let yourself be bullied.

well the shareholders are always free to write the software that earns them their money themselves then.

Completely aside whether I agree with the rest of your post, this isn't about people being bullied, it's simply about tech workers exercising their very considerable bargaining power to pursue their goals which have transcended earning a paycheck, which is their right.

This is the free market everyone in tech loves, negotiating for political leverage is just a higher form of compensation Turns out tech firms love disruption, except when their own work model gets disrupted
The entire class of fluorine-based waterproofers should be banned, since they don't degrade.

Next ban polyester, since the fibers are a major source of microplastics, and since they are flammable (made of plastic after all) they are coated in toxic and endocrine-disrupting flame retardants.
I think you’re wrong. If Facebook defines a community standard, that can be opinion based. But saying someone violated those standards is fact based. It doesn’t matter what the rules are in this case. The rules aren’t the issue. Saying that someone violated those rules is the issue. Whether someone violated the rules or didn’t violate them is a fact. And if they say they violated rules when they didn’t, that’s is an incorrect, fact-based statement which I believe is a case for libel, especially if they say someone broke the rules for things like abusive content.
You don't need to eat a pound of beef for a meal. 3 oz is just fine.

Beef is dirt cheap compared to candy bars, frozen pizza and chips.
3% currency fluctuation in a month is high, but it's more of a random fluke. In the long term I'd expect the trend to be mostly interest rate diff - around 2% per year for EUR/USD.

You should be a lot more concerned about the crazy price frenzy going on with asset prices: stock market doubled in a year, real estate prices break new highs every month, even food prices are all time high apparently. You've lost way more than 3% of your purchasing power there already.
Seriously? You do realize that we're talking about the capacity of the air vs land, not individual trains vs individual planes? Yes, a single train has more capacity than a single plane, but the limit to how many planes can be in the sky is more or less a function of how sophisticated your ATC system is. UK rail hit the physical limits a long time ago, and expanding it is extremely hard because the land is all taken. That's why HS2 is so expensive and slow, yet (was) still being pursued, because it's the only way to add meaningful capacity. Same with Crossrail.
Right, we're arguing specifics now that wasn't really my point at all.
No, he's referring to a time when people weren't antagonistic and tribal at work, just like he said.
