> I'd never hire a full time employee who can work remotely. I'd employ a contractor who has to itemize their invoice.

I'm just curious as I've been the employer and the contractor in this scenario - do you think the output between a FTE and a contractor would be different? Do you think it would be different financially?

In my experience, developers tend to behave like a gas that expands to fill their container - people tend to work up to their compensation (whether it's hourly contracting or some form of salary + comp), and no more.
The danger here is to assume that the pseudo-code in the article has anything to do with how the code is actually compiled.

In general for a 'for' loop the difference is only when the variable is incremented.

I would focus on what makes sense for the task at hand and what is easier to read and reason with.
The way to get young/unskilled people to build skills earlier in life is to lower the minimum wage, not increase it.

No one is going to hire a 12 year old for a part time job if the minimum wage is $15. It just increases the minimum skill level to be hireable. But hire them for $7.50 and they might have skills worth $15 by the time they're 18.
The Power of Formatting in Writing
Yah, and replaying the journal while there are other writers is dangerous: it can undo their changes. So you either make the device fully read-only and make your filesystem cope with not being able to do the journal applies.. or you use something like lvm where you can just apply the journal to a snapshot / set of in-memory deltas.

But it's worse than this and the above doesn't solve the problems. Say you've mounted already, the filesystem is changing under you, and assume no cache for simplicity (caching makes this even worse):

For instance, say update A truncates a file and frees up some storage. update B allocates this free space to another file. Update C writes to it.

A different system starts a read, and finds the metadata for the first file. Then it hesitates, and later reads the data from update C in the wrong file.

Most filesystems are not written with this use case in mind-- mount readonly while someone else updates. It's something that I've tried doing with varying degrees of success in the past (sometimes perfect, sometimes with strangeness at the application level, sometimes with kernel panics).
There is no right to not receive another's germs. If we take your argument to its logical conclusion, then the flu vaccine would be mandated. But it's not. So if you say that Covid is different, then what is your threshold or cut-off for when a medical procedure should be mandated?

Why not? if the cost & benefit ratio is worth it, maybe we should. The same for any other diseases you can think of. If the answer is yes, then there are no reason for any of us to refuse unless we have good excuses.

I believe it is against the t&C's for google maps to take a screenshot instead of an embedded map (or at.least it was when I looked a few years back).

I'm referring to a collection of introductory articles covering a wide range of concepts/objects/people, etc. Deep introductions to a subject are great, but to me they're not encyclopedic as they're not really introductory.

Do you disagree about the purpose of an encyclopedia? There's clearly space with web media to include more comprehensive articles, but IMO this should be _as well_.

It's kinda the "if I had more time I'd have written more briefly" concept writ large (at web scale, if you will).
What about five days but 6 hours a day? How is that compared to four day workweek?

This is great for when you have a corporate laptop and you want to separate your personal browsing session from your work browsing session easily. I also like it because I setup a VPN for the browser and have access to some self-hosted stuff.

It also raises the bar for MiTMs to intercept your session cookies significantly.
> All you had to know was that if you are trying to find some large number that is divisible by other prime numbers, the deltas between the candidates will be the product of the numbers.

"All you have to know is .. {this magic}" -- that really reminds me of my freshman year math classes where the TAs would just say, "well if you do it THIS WAY..." (when my main question was how the heck you stumble upon looking at the problem that way, vs all the failed ways)
Your link contained a speculation about the length of time for which vaccinated people are infectious. Mine is a study demonstrating that the chance of transmission to contacts is reduced.

Surely probability of transmission is the key factor determining whether vaccination reduces the spread of the disease?
IMO it is a legitimately useful site, but strictly for beginners, and probably only for html/css. It teaches you the basics and has the sandbox to test things out. It's fine, just not what you want to see when you're looking for actual documentation.

I wrote code to access one California MLS, and learned a lot about it in the process. I learned that at every level, information is hidden and obfuscated! While I was involved, a National MLS association in Chicago was taken to court over its practices and lost. Many MLS are slightly different. With all that said, I am glad its not completely standardized, or worse Federally administered, overall (why? exercise for the reader)
Right, that's my point -- this is unprecedented and thus falls under "Congress needs to allow these agencies to do this" _not_ "these agencies can do this by default."

>It can't, it just answers with snippets extracted from websites it deems relevant, and often the answer is flat out wrong or irrelevant.

I recently searched the name of a YouTuber I was watching, the top "People also ask" suggestion was "Is [name of youtuber] married?"

I didn't particularly care but clicked out of curiosity. It expanded to show a snippet from an old (1980s) NY Times article about a completely different person getting married long before this particular person was even born.

Google AI using other companies' content to provide wrong answers to questions I didn't even ask... That says it all.
Do your photos scale in your gallery?

This is off the top of my head but if your images are set to a percent based width so they scale (mine are) and you know the aspect ratio of the image then you can set the CSS ‘ aspect-ratio’ property (or there are some other hacks with padding on a wrapper div) to maintain the height.

You’d probably want to integrate this into the build process but I have not done this.
To supplement the other reply, a big difference is how they approach the cross platform UI.

Xamarin Forms/MAUI is effectively an abstraction layer on top of the Android UI Toolkit and CocoaTouch.

Uno is its own implementation of a UWP compatible UI that renders everything onto the screen using Skia.

You get the same affordances of cross platform .NET, C#, and XAML. Uno gives you pixel perfect cross platform UIs, but loses the native feel, which MAUI preserves, at the cost of writing more platform specific renderers.
By work? It's pure risk-management, do you need it? Is it worth the potential risk/work?
Probably objects that make you imagine about what day-to-day living was like in the past.

If VR becomes widespread, perhaps the first VR headset. Or perhaps niche, quaint items with great craftsmanship (no longer used at all in the future), like a high-quality metal mechanical pencil, fountain pen, or ballpoint pen.

Early commercial spacecraft (SpaceX) would also be a certainty, as the expansion of humanity across space is near-guaranteed (as long as humanity doesn't destroy itself). Perhaps also today's fashion (thinking of fashion museums).
Unions are not allowed to negotiate benefits and wages exclusively for their members. Non-union employees are forced by this to become free riders.

To be honest I'm amazed by the times. Mine (reasonably written C) is 4ms, so 0.025ms is quite amazing. Any idea what magic does rust do inside to achieve this speed?

I understand the initial design of ccTLDs but can we just admit it's mostly a failure?

People use them as vanity URLs and there is little to no consistency in how they are used. .io, .ai and .tv are good examples. Then you have .ly where the local warlord can decide to ban your domain for no reasons.

At least .gov, .edu, .com and .org are somewhat consistent.

Sesame Street still includes their old sketches with corded phones. I'll bet other kids TV does too.

I've found the answer to pretty much every "how do they know that?" is "A TV show". Although now that the older one can read and is in-person school, the answer is increasingly "Books" or "Someone at school".
Yea- if you're not making money, you're usually spending it. Idle time costs more than the $0/hr you make while not working.
Still, it would seem negligent to bifurcate the population into (vaccinated = low transmission; unvaccinated = high transmission) when the reality is exactly as you describe - a forever variable efficacy rate across the board (transmission, infection, hospitalization, death) thanks to the waning effects of the vaccine + new variants.

Having 30,000 vaccinated people pack into a basketball game can't be accepted in good faith when countries are trying to ban unvaccinated people from air travel, working in offices, working in healthcare settings with proper precautions, etc. when vaccination isn't a switch for forever lasting 95% immunity.

Hopefully we can get to a point where a vaccine or something else can put an end to this, but until then telling a large group with variable levels of protection that are they safe is enabling the spread of the virus.
This is a terrible idea, especially if you want to have any sort of romantic life...
There's an interesting dilemma here - if the algorithm were to favor "pages with lots of content alongside the exact-match phrase you're looking for" then it would incentivize content farms that combine lots of StackOverflow answers together. And if you favor the opposite, where there's less content alongside the exact-match phrase, you incentivize content farms that strip away content from StackOverflow before displaying it. Ideally, of course, you'd rely on site-level reputation - is Google just having trouble recognizing that these are using stolen content?
Ahh I see, thank you.
And the younger ones are better? I think this has nothing to do with age per se, more of mind, character, experience. Or class. Or how compromised and corrupt they are. I mean, look at Spahn. Or Dorothee Bär.

Or lets not concentrate on persons, but on concepts instead. What makes anyone competent to be at the top of any branch, resort, ministry? Their staff? Then why not appoint someone from the staff to that position?

It's all non-sense now, a tragicomedy at best. Regardless of party and age.
Most people do just a few of the things on your list at a time. However, life is long, so you can alternate over time - e.g. at some point you can take a less demanding or part time job (or even be FIREd already) which opens up time for other aspects of life. Even then, you'll have to choose just a few that you focus on, but again, you can still alternate over time - say focus on studying humanities for a couple of years, then maybe later do art for a couple of years etc.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Yes. That's a loophole written into the 13th amendment.

You sound like someone who has never worked a minimum wage job. None of the skills you learn in these low end jobs is ever going to help you do anything but work similar low end jobs. I put myself through three associates degrees cleaning cars for a rental company. You know what that taught me? How to clean a car interior in 5-15 minutes. That's not exactly the most marketable of skills.

Fortunately that wasn't particularly laborious, so I still had the energy to do school too. Many people are not as lucky, and these days often have to work 2 or more jobs to get by. Worse, the kind of schooling I took advantage of is increasingly turning from vocation-oriented education to cheap-university-transfer education.

Fern Creek Software | Louisville KY | 100% Remote

Fern Creek is a software consulting company. We build stuff for other people, usually in .NET on Azure but we do other stuff occasionally. The company has been around since I started consulting independently about 20 years ago. Recently I started taking on larger projects that need more people and as a result, started hiring people. Sometimes a 1099, sometimes W2.

This is not super sexy stuff where you will get options that might be worth millions, but likely worth nothing. What you will get is a load of experience on new tech (asp.net core, azure, blazor etc) and a great focus on the best feature of all...shipping.

The job is remote so you don't have to be in Louisville though if you are close that is cool.

Set your own hours and all that, I want pros not people that need babysitting.

4 openings right now...

-Full stack dev (C#, asp.net core, sql server etc) -Desktop dev (WPF, WinForms, Electron, .NET Maui) -DevOps/Automation/QA dev (unit testing, selenium, azure devops) -Mobile dev (Xamarin, React Native)

Live the stress free life, work from home, build some cool tech, make money, be happy etc etc.
