And it's looking a lot like your experience here. You're getting told that you can't have put forth your comments in good faith, that it was "tactically made". (Which I interpret as meaning that it's to push an agenda rather than in good faith. I could be mistaken, but threatofrain is not clarifying what that accusation means.)

So, yeah, I stand by my statement that this whole thread proves your point...
I would add that if the recruiter is a 3rd party, they're more likely to fight for the higher wage as they get a %.
I did a lot of hard work $14 an hour digging graves. Now I hard work remotely in a chair as a developer after meeting the right connections. Hard work is like saying if you put your foot on the gas you’ll win the race. It’s part of it but without the rest you’re likely in a parking lot with the engine off stepping on a pedal. I couldn’t have changed my life without my parents letting me move back in for a bit. The more you struggle to survive the more distracted you are from changing your survival strategy.
Right, yeah that's more important, there's no way to get a runaway chain reaction with an RTG
Isn't it amazing we're still all poking around how to best represent business logic in software when this has been the whole damn point of what we're doing for the last 30 years at least? We got pretty good at the pure computing stuff pretty quick, but like hell we can all agree on how to represent that a food purchase over $100 by a user in Wyoming needs a 5% tax added.

Money doesn't come from taxes and debt.

It is created de novo within a computer system.

It is conceptualized, according to intellectual paradigms, as originating as a 'debt' and being "paid back" by taxes.
But this accounting is fallacious. There is a movement in economics called MMT which is going to challenge these paradigms.

Not mentioned here but important, I strongly prefer and recommend an opinionated framework like django, rails, (possibly ember) over mix match frameworks (express, flask) because they have already thought more about most design decisions than you want to (or your engineers). Especially for an early stage startup, the performance, scalability, or reliability of your stack isn't going to kill you. A long time to market will kill you, reinventing the wheel will kill you. When I see django apps built and developed, a shockingly high amount of effort is dedicated to actually solving business problems vs other less opinionated frameworks.
The answer also used to be "of course schools aren't government-run daycare"; but here we are. It may not be the importance of the constitution which is changing.
Kinda like how a waitress at a $100 plate steakhouse is making a multiple of the one who works at a greasy spoon diner.
No. I personally know law enforcement officers who go above and beyond, often getting warrants they think they don't need to err on the side of caution.

So. Do you have a source for that?
Germany, between WWI & WWII, officially has no military to worry about. Was able to create a Europe-conquering army very quickly.
My point is that this doesn't necessarily lower costs for anyone. DoorDash ect can move fees around so they aren't "per-order" fees.
> lol the CSS Box Alignment Module spec started in 2012

lol and in 2012 it didn't have even half what it has now

and the last change to that spec was only a week ago

> I am sad that Safari doesn't have ~33% of CSS Box Alignment Module after a decade

gap wasn't in the spec a decade ago. I, for one, am glad that Safari actually waits for the spec to stabilize bit instead of rushing headlong into something that will likely change.
Ramanujan is certainly a better example than Newton or Aristotle. There were a lot of geniuses I would highlight over them if I was looking for individual talent.
> Given the importance that some countries give to winning the games, e.g China and Russia, might they push to have more MtF athletes of their own.

Are you suggesting that they might force some of their athletes to transition in order to gain an advantage at the olympics? These societies are not friendly to trans people in general, so I have some doubts they would elevate people who pursued transition themselves.
Because those are intermittent power sources. That is, there are times when the wind isn't blowing, and sun isn't shining, and there is no battery technology (now or coming) that is capable of storing enough energy to bridge this intermittency gap. This is why solar and wind need fossil fuel back-up. Natural gas companies are some of the biggest proponents of solar and wind projects.
A film you may find interesting if you haven’t seen it is the Brazilian crime thriller “Tropa de Elite 2 – O Inimigo Agora é Outro”, which not wishing to spoil anything, was a fascinating exploration of how systems of corruption can remain even as everyone involved gets moved out; the vacuum is filled as quickly as it’s made.

Cloudflare is a great service but I hate that I have to use it due to factors beyond my control.

I was disappointed that Cloudflare didn't automatically detect the traffic as malicious but feeding the bots a captcha almost completely mopped up the problem.
No one would become a meth addict if better drugs were cheap and legal. Even meth addicts would probably prefer some nice cocaine. Eventually, the most effective treatments for addiction will include supervised doses of psilocybin. Research is difficult when the law interferes, however.

Dear Woodworker,

Have you ever:

Wanted to build something, because you cannot find it “retail”?

Thought of making something custom for a specific need?

Struggled to find detailed plans to build your dream project?

These are the problems I faced years ago when I started woodworking

... and it is the same problems many of my students are still facing today.

Now if you've always dreamed of being able to build whatever you wanted...

Ted Mcgrath is a certified master woodworker, trainer, author and member of AWI...

He believes in the core principles of simple in woodworking - using detailed plans for maximum effectiveness for minimal effort.

He runs a woodworking technical class and has regularly publishes books and articles on woodworking.

Instead of spending days, months or years looking for something or spending a fortune hiring someone to do it for you...

And you crave the satisfaction of creating something beautiful with your own hands,

Then this may be the most important letter you'll ever read...
Unless you absolutely cannot afford to, I firmly suggest to invest in a solid English translation. A bad translation is a deal breaker. For Seneca's works, I recommend these:

→ 'Letters on Ethics' (University of Chicago Press) – I consider this to be the definitive English translation; it's done by two of the foremost scholars: Margaret Graver and A. A. Long. This has the full set of 124 letters. It reads extremely well, has a solid introduction with excellent notes throughout, and it's also wonderfully typeset. It can't get better than this. (This costs about 40 euros; if it's a tad pricey for you, see the alternative below. )

→ 'Seneca: Selected Letters' (Oxford World's Classics) — This is a curated list of letters by a reputed scholar, Elaine Fantham. A compelling aspect about this edition is that at the beginning of each letter there's a short summary of it.

→ 'Seneca: Dialogues and Essays' (Oxford World's Classics) — This contains some of Seneca's famous essays on bereavement consolations, on tranquility of the mind, and more. Translation by John Davie; it reads very well. (I also consult an alternative excellent translation, 'Hardship & Happiness'; this was also, like the full set of letters above, commissioned by Chicago University Press; and translated by several scholars.)

And FWIW, I've written[1] last year about suggested English translations for broader Stoicism-related works. Translations matter.

It definitely depends on the context, along with thousands of other words in the dictionary.
It is illegal in France to insult someone on the basis of their race, sex, etc., etc. Even non-public speech of that type. 500 Euro fine. Up to 3000 Euro for repeat offenses.

I believe a couple provinces of France still have blasphemy laws.

And, then there is Holocaust denial...

For better or worse, the US legal system is far more liberal than France’s when it comes to speech. (As for the relative sensitivity of individual citizens of either country to foul language, I don’t know. Depends where you are, I guess.)
Yes! We use a Google Sheet to track subtasks of issues. Now maybe we won't have to. Breaking every subtask into its own issue is too much and using the Project tool has a similar problem where it can become overwhelmingly noisy. Spreadsheet style lists are the cleanest way to see a lot quickly.
By normalization I mean a social/cultural change, not necessarily a legal one... though the two are linked.

I mean a culture where being a sex worker is not something that most people hide or gasp at. Strippers are, in some places, semi-"normal." You can date an ex stripper, in some circles. Ex-prostitute is, generally, a no-go.

>>I, and likely most people, would be against that

Yes of course. That's what not being normalized currently means. Normalisation would be a change in these opinions. Homosexuality was also "most people against" very recently.

Also, I didn't say that I think this change is coming. Quite the opposite. The current trend is in the puritanical direction.
I think you're misreading the SCOTUS case: the issue at hand was that she bad mouthed the team she was on, not "bad words" in a vacuum. If, in France, I had published a video describing a teacher with "bad words" that became known to the high school, I'd have certainly expected consequences on school grounds.

For me it's the gameplay of this generation that didn't age well.

Developers were:

1. grappling with an entirely new dimension of gameplay

2. investing enormous amounts of engineering work into making 3D world run at all on these systems

And it seems to me that the result was that gameplay the gameplay for this generation at least for action-oriented titles, generally was a big step back from the 16-bit era.

There are certainly some early 3D action titles that still shine for me though. The PSX-based entries in the Tekken series and Metal Gear Solid come to mind.
Hate how they use the term ‘Blacks’. Seems as if they allow ‘whites’ to stand from a place of objectivity and demand that journalist do too. CNN are moronic
It looks like knowledge worker is more than just IT and software. As the wiki says, it encompasses all those "who think for a living".

Perhaps a little condescending to suggest that people that can't work from home don't think for al living, but I get the point.
The main difference is not taxes, but how loose employment and business regulations in the US are vs. EU. In general, it is much easier to fire people in the US (https://smallbusiness.chron.com/compare-us-labor-laws-europe...)
Asset inflation affects people like me who prefer to avoid debt. I'd rather make interest than pay interest, by saving until I can afford a house. If we had higher interest rates, prices of houses would come down and help people like me.

Our system is set up with a lot of unconvincing arguments about the necessity of inflation to encourage spending over saving. Yea, saving means people buy less stuff, but maybe we don't need most of the crap we buy and would be encouraged to do without some of it if our money wasn't constantly losing value.

Yeah. it never makes sense to make any noise about it either because the people you can reach either don't understand the problem or don't have the power to fix it. It only makes the person making noise look bad.
When OP's approach is implemented effectively code review does not disappear but becomes more of a continuous process. Developers review each others changes and become proactive about seeking review of their own code. Teams that take this approach will typically review all code changes between releases before code makes it into production.

Maybe a better way to say it is, software development usually has a bigger financial consequence. And that consequence scales along with the skill and judgment of the developer.
The article answers a lot of questions raised in the comments. Delivery apps are free to continue charging consumers unlimited delivery fees, service charges, etc. What changes is they can’t charge restaurants more than 15% commission.

I don't know much about transracialism at all, but it makes sense to me if you look at it as a cultural identification kind of thing. Both my brother and I were born in and grew up in the states, but I identify more with American culture while he identities more with the culture our parents are from, so culture at least is a mental identity thing rather than a physical reality.

If it's purely a racial/ethnic kind of thing that's about your genetic heritage, I agree it doesn't make sense to apply the same concept. It's like the distinction between sex and gender I mentioned above, trans people identify as a specific gender regardless of their sex, and I think people can identify with a specific culture regardless of their race/ethnicity. To better complete the analogy, I could definitely imagine a white person growing up in Japan their whole life and feeling a general unease about the mismatch between their cultural identity (Japanese) and their race/ethnicity (white), and in cases where that unease is severe enough, potentially being willing to go through surgery to better reflect their identity. Dysphoria over racial/cultural mismatch (if it even exists, idk) seems much less common than gender dysphoria, but I don't see why you wouldn't apply the same logic to both.
A couple years back is 2019. I'm not sure you know how schools work but suddenly pumping money in doesn't dramatically increase test scores the next fiscal quarter. I think nearly everyone agrees public schools could use more funding, the debates tend to be about "on what and how much."
DoorDash charges a $1 to $2.50 “Regulatory Response Fee”, explained as follows:

> A local regulation has temporarily capped the fees that we may charge local restaurants. To continue to offer you convenient delivery while ensuring that Dashers are active and earning, you will now see an additional fee that we are charging for local orders in this area.

Mission accomplished, everyone!
>I don't see any incentive for these women to go "underground" because they are in no legal peril themselves.

Sure no legal peril, but if a sex worker does come forward to the police about an abusive John or a pimp she risks being kicked out of her home, locked out of her bank account and having her family and friends harassed by police.

This creates a strong disincentive to get help from authorities, which seems like exactly the barrier legalization efforts aim to eliminate.
It is indeed now possible. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Einstein is also a really bad example; there is Hendrik Lorentz for special relativity and David Hilbert for general relativity wo would've probably produced the exact same results maybe some years later had Einstein never existed.

In fact, I can not think of a single (!!) scientist that progressed his field in a truly revolutionary manner; every great thinker that comes to mind had contemporaries that could have substituted for them with only minor delays in progress.

I fully agree with the author that geniuses exist, it's just that they all were/are replaceable.
> It is still very tough to outsource software development.

That's what I was getting at. If it was feasible, it would have been done completely by now.
Im not sure what your point is. Your statement

>>> His point was that there are plenty of people that don’t become wealthy even though they work hard and have hustle. And there are plenty of wealthy people that didn’t need to work hard to get it.

is a trivially correct, banal point. The parent comment was implying with his "I know even more people who are rich and lazy" comment something that, while it may be true for the people he encounters, is not true for society at large.

This may be true, but I'd take a slap in the face if it meant another person had a place to sleep at night.

I can deal with slaps in the face. It's mostly an emotional feeling of being wronged. That's different than homelessness.
not really. there’s a lot more to you than just things you synthesize or inhibit.

not to mention development that happens in the womb etc that’s non reversible. hormones won’t change your bone structure or the shape of your hips or a million other things
Yeah I think the whole argument rests on the meaning of words: what does "lone" mean? And the article didn't really get into that, or it was fairly sloppy about it.

Also, I don't think there is that meaningful a distinction between a lone genius and a very small group.

Is what Crick, Watson, and Franklin did any less useful or interesting than what Einstein did, simply because there were multiple people working on it? I'm sure they had to "go it alone" for quite awhile (and there were probably a few more people helping them).

To me it sounds like Katalin Kariko (mRNA vaccine inventor) was something of a lone genius early in her career. Certainly her colleagues didn't believe in her work.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26125003

But apparently the more senior faculty Drew Weissman did and they made progress together. I'm not sure but it sounds like she is the main driver of the work.

My point is that it doesn't seem to matter? Either way, they had to do long term work that wasn't accepted by their peers, and turned out to be extremely valuable.

Though I guess you can say it matters because it's "easier" for 1 person to work in isolation, but it's not easy for 2 or 3 people. For example, they need lab equipment, physical space, etc. Einstein and Ramanujan didn't need that.

Anyway, there is probably useful stuff to explore there, but the article seemed to be grinding an axe and wasn't that clear about what it was saying. Obviously the truth is somewhere in between the extremes, and depends on what "lone" means.

That boils down to an excuse at best and a justification at worst.

Historically, teachers made relatively good pay and were respected. That was when it was a mostly male profession. That changed when it became a mostly female profession.

Conversely, programing was originally a more female dominated profession and not well paid nor respected. Now it is a male profession and very well paid.

Humans tend to pay men better for the same work. We come up with myriad explanations for the phenomenon but it's stubbornly persistent.

I think it's more complicated than "Women just entirely voluntarily choose something else."
I generally use "services" when there's a glob of logic that works with a number of models and other things. For example, you might have some order checkout logic that has to write to a number of database tables, send email and other notifications, and ping a third party service or two. You don't want to tie all that logic to a single model as it crosses a number of boundaries, and you don't necessarily want it inside a view, as it might be run in some other context such as the command line, or perhaps run from different views.

On the other hand, if there is logic that is neatly encapsulated within a model instance or queryset, I don't see a good reason to artificially make a service for it. Generally refactoring into services is something I do when it's obvious what their responsibilities and boundaries are.
Have you ever met a person who eats rice and ramen and whatnot all week so they can make it to their next paycheck(s), and eats next to nothing before pay day because they literally just don't have money to buy food to eat. You want them to quit their job(s), and what, figure out something else in ~4 days before they have 0 dollars left for food & electricity & rent & internet(if they have it at all).

I know a couple people like this, and I know there are many out there in this situation with several kids to worry about. Maybe your aware of this and were referring to people with disposable income and savings, but those people don't really need to do something else because apparently things are working out for them better than the vast majority of people. I don't want to assume too much but this comes off sounding really badly.

Never-mind the fact that these low-paying jobs exist and someone will have to do them, therefore some percentage of the population will be in this situation, often despite working several jobs and dealing with a lot more than most of us have to on top of that. I don't see how anyone can have this view without also implicitly stating that some % of the population are necessarily just not good at doing things and deserve to live through that kind of struggle because of it.
