> I am of the view that rights are things that are granted by some authority, not something you acquire by simply existing.

That's an interesting view, and not one that is supported by the US Constitution.

> First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This doesn't state that either Congress or the Constitution is granting the freedom of speech, or the right to assemble peacably, but rather states that Congress may not make a law that abridges those rights. The right

> Fourth Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Again, the right to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures is something that exists before the Constitution. It isn't something that is granted by the Constitution, but a pre-existing right that may not be violated.

> Ninth Amendment: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

This is the most direct counter-argument, that rights exist outside of the enumerated rights. That some rights are explicitly enumerated may not be used to imply that those are the only rights that exist. If the Constitution and authorities derived from the Constitution were the source of rights, then there couldn't be rights that exist outside of them. But instead, the Constitution states that there exist rights outside of those mentioned, so they must have been pre-existing rights.
Why go samples all the files from all over the filesystem if they are deterministically created from a piece of code you've got a copy of?
I like the idea presented here but I think a mix of approaches is needed.

After the author's chapter 2, "Chapter 2: Suits (String concatenation, Int vs literal string)" I would want to extend it to say on top of strings and ints we also have booleans, floats, null, and any other primitives and why they're useful (maybe these show up in the lessons, maybe they don't).

I'd do the same for chapter 3 too. After learning about arrays I'd want to include a section on other objects that are common, maps, sets, linked lists etc.

Both styles need to be mixed together imv.

I read the title as "Badger leads archeologists to hoard Roman coins". From what I can tell, "scarce money" i.e. the gold standard is a pyramid scheme and it is entirely plausible that the empire expanded its borders simply to acquire more gold/silver as it is so easy to hoard and thereby take out of circulation while simultaneously being needed to pay the soldiers.
The pyramid scheme stops as soon as you are unable to conquer more land that is bearing precious metals. You can no longer pay your soldiers and they might turn against you. This is especially bad if you are simultaneously being invaded and your main force is busy fighting a war.

By the way, we aren't enlightened creatures that are beyond this sort of pattern. Urban sprawl is exactly the same thing. Plots of land sit empty for speculation, which forces people to move further away from the center.

It is a distinctly a US term

There is an articulable enough reason that requires history to know why people would gravitate to that term, now, and why it is not the end all be all of consensus.

Basically, somewhat unlike White, Asian and Black, there are no specific phenotypes or looks that encompass people from Latin America. And Latin America doesn't encompass all parts all of the other Americas or the Caribbean, to all people depending on who you ask. So since

A) White, Asian and Black people can be from Latin America, plus

B) People can be from other parts of the Americas that are not always considered part of Latin America

C) The United States lacks a shorthand to address that population who lacks an adequate form of representation within the United States

then D) some people that want to signal that willingness to acknowledge these realities as Latinx.

But yes, it can be ignorable as it doesn't reflect the wishes of people with heritage from Central and South America and some parts of the Caribbean, but understand that perspective too is because many people from any distinct country in Latin America don't come from a diverse place to begin with as its mostly just their countrypeople with its own unique phenotypes (or not giving representation or to other people in a caste system), whereas in the US there already is a history of grouping people by race for better or for worse for any reason, and the idea falls apart fastest when it comes to Hispanic or Latin America groupings.

White, Asian and Black terms have the same problems when you dive deep enough into it, but the history of migration to the US by those groups makes it easier to ignore that for those groups. For example, if 25%+ of our Asian population had stopped in Peru for a few hundred years before coming to the US, then yeah we actually might be saying something like Axian by now, and there are many people who do wish for more nuanced representation.

> Who believes the former person “would not be able to answer questions about [the subject]”?

All the people who believe that "teaching the test" is not real knowledge.

For example, would you hire a lawyer who flunked the bar? How about consult a physician who couldn't pass his medical boards? How about get on an airplane with a pilot who flunked flight school, but "really knows how to fly"?

And yes, there are bad tests. But there are also good tests, and they work. Personally, I've never encountered a person who mastered a topic but couldn't get a good grade in it.

Very interested if you have a source for this claim, as I have been looking for one.
Reminds me of myself too. Very enthusiastic, loved to code and built over complicated stuff (I can only hope I've stopped or do so less).

But I do still most enjoy working with enthusiastic people as long as they've totally failed a few times, to know their own weakness.
“Linter Warning: .keep file not included at /…/“
There are people working on this rigorously, try going through Prof Krishnamurthi's papers: https://cs.brown.edu/~sk/ he teaches higher-order functions because they've found it helps students understand how an API works, he designed his own learning language from scratch (Pyret) and I went through much of his older CS19 Brown course here: https://learnaifromscratch.github.io/software.html because the course uses a web browser IDE, they were able to take stats of all students to see when they started to write code VS when they wrote examples and tests. The tests he teaches are property-based not typical cs101 style tests just plugging in edge cases and hoping for the best. His goal is to turn the teaching of programming from absolute guesswork and wishful thinking into something proven to work which is admirable, most CS professors that I had just taught whatever they felt was best for them when they first learned, not what is provably best for everyone in a large class.

Of course the answer to everything is 'just be motivated and dig deep into X then you will learn as you go' like building a program from scratch, or how some mathematician's learned by being fascinated with various topics and purely researching them on their own for hours on end. For some people this will work others will just give up when it gets too difficult, I find it's something you can do after 1/2 of a course, you have just enough education to be able to read the documentation and now you can actually teach yourself whereas before that just attempting cryptic docs about types and objects good luck.

Then of course there is getting paid to program, which requires specific skills you would never get doing ad-hoc hacking around for fun. You actually have to go on Kattis or Leetcode and bang out countless tiny algorithms where each one you have to defend your architect choices with analysis of it's complexity to a room of professionals with vastly more experience than you, and this is of course what most people want when they tell you 'teach me how to code' it's really 'teach me to make money from my laptop like you do'.
This is amazing. Beautiful design (both in light and dark mode) and very educational regarding music theory. And a lot to it (if you click beyond the linked page).
Yeah, it's such a cliché. Using too many foreign words is such a faux pas, it reveals the bourgeois character of the speaker. No no no, a real connoisseur of the English language won't have such a lassaiz-faire attitude and accept just any fancy word du jour. That would be so gauche indeed. Au contraire I'm blasé at such attempts. The real English entrepreneurial avant-garde clique has so many choices a la carte, so much joi de vivere in this je ne sais qua of a deja vu. Touché
While this happens to be a great concern of mine, but I'd say it's a pretty different issue than the discussion of OAuth.

Although since we're here, discussing numbers of lines code—how much do you think web browsing performance has to do with browser complexity versus the websites themselves? I've always assumed the primary issue was the latter. Does e.g. Hacker News have higher system requirements in Chrome 97 vs Chrome 1.0?

Browser complexity worries me for other reasons—namely, the web isn't really a standard if there's only one implementation that matters, and because browsers are so complex, no one can really hope to create a new one.

What did you run?
When we say pyramid schemes are not sales businesses, or NFTs are not art, I think we sneak value judgements into what should be objective definitions. If we were to have a definition of a sales business in the dictionary, it would not read: 'A business based around sales. Except for pyramid schemes because they are bad.'
Even worse than those posts are Facebook's new Reels (i guess their tiktok competitor). Insanely click-bait, usually some suspenseful caption and/or a cover picture that's somewhat sexually suggestive. I keep trying to hide them from my feed but Facebook just keeps bringing them back.

In hindsight, the quality of teaching actual coding at my uni was pretty poor. But coding in general is pretty hard to teach well in that setting.
A relative of mine with the background to have an opinion on it once told me about how companies were vaporizing millions and billions of dollars for not properly cooperating with regulators and it was just baffling to them.

Current gen chatbots for support for companies are infuriating and only helpful for the most clueless of users, which I suppose is probably a decent chunk. It’s like when you call a company because you need help that you can’t resolve yourself through their site and are then forced to listen on hold to the phone menu system tell you a dozen times that you can do everything you need on their amazing website.

Also, developers: please don’t try to make the chatbot seem human to fake users out. It’s almost as bad as the fake typing sounds for Comcast support. Making users jump through hoops and tricking them just makes them hate your brand and your products, and makes them even more irritable when they do eventually get to speak with a human.

Also, end the auto pop-up “can I help you find something???” chat bots on websites. It’s like someone had the idea to take the worst part of retail experiences and find a way to make that even more useless, then deployed it everywhere.
I think the saying has lost its meaning when it's misquoted.

Correct phrasing: "Nobody leaves because of their paycheck."

Money disparity among coworkers absolutely can lead to dissatisfaction with the employer. Bad culture of annual raises can lead to dissatisfaction. Money disparity with competitors can lead to dissatisfaction with the employer.

So, yes, people aren't leaving because they're getting a paycheck, but that's too pedantic, even for me, because it obfuscates the issue so much people misunderstand it and then misquote it.

I can easily get a job 3x my existing salary. But I do the work of someone 8x my salary but nobody is ready to give my that jump because that would disturb the "industry standard" (read HR KRA).

Also, the low pay in my current job gives me a freedom to do what I want how I want it done. Because even they don't want to pay 3x salary to someone else either.

In return I get massive work-life balance. And I get to pursue my hobbies and interests apart from getting to spend quality time with my family.
Most of these words don't have a 1 word equivalent in English but the full range of meaning can be easily captured with a short definition.

Yiddish has good examples where words actually do not translate easily. EG, schmendrick and schmuck both translate as "a fool", but have distinct shades of meaning that aren't trivially explained. "Nu" is an interjection that has several specific meanings that require long examples to explain, EG: https://forward.com/culture/12736/just-say-nu-01335/

> because what kind of indicator exists in the unix socket when at the application layer the protocol client drops messages with no fanfare?

I think you already understand that they are unreasonable people. One answer is that the person who implemented/validated it and the person who decided it needs to be TCP were not communicating well.

It obviously works well enough as is, with the current system, so they probably aren't looking into how/if it works much.

I would just do it whatever way you want as long as you can meet whatever needs they have. Clients often specify that things need to done a certain very particular way, then never really care if it is done differently as long as it works.

I have been told before that a service only uses TCP when in fact when I tried connecting to it, it turned out to be only UDP. They didn't know, and bringing it up to them just made them confused and angry.
There appears to be an interesting analogy between this case and the Apple store. In each, the company flexes monopoly power over their customers -- Apple in selling apps to idevice users (traditionally an open market) and John Deere in repairing tractors. Neither has a complete monopoly on (tractors, phones, apps for phones, tractor repair) but the monopoly is within their sector of a market. Very curious to see how this plays out, as Deere's fortune may set a precedent that impacts Apple's fate.
Germany today is an important country but it has no major capability to attack or defend other nations. China, Russia and the US do.
It's not about teaching people literally how to code. It's about teaching people how to learn how to code.

For example, if you're trying to teach someone Javascript with "this is a variable, this is a function, this is an event listener" they're going to get no where. It should be "how to change the color of a button when I click on it."

Then you guide the person to creating a good Google search query. And I think it's totally acceptable for beginners (and experienced programmers) to just copy and paste at the beginning, slowly figuring out how it all works as they try to get an idea working.
I have 2 yoe and end up doing all of these. Startup life I guess haha
strong disagree because an artificial codebase size limit doesn't make the codebase more accessible, it makes it worse.

Well designed code isn't primarily short, it's readable, modular, extensible and so on. This isn't the case for dwm. Simplest example, to enable extensions in the form of patches you basically have to apply diffs and because everything is just one giant pile of code even applying two entirely unrelated features can break depending on the order of the patch application.

This isn't elitist in the sense of applying best programming standards, it's elitist in the sense of "if you want to join the club you get hazed first"
It's been discussed many times, he's had it appraised and it's not as much as one would think - high 6 figures at best. Would pay for ~5 years at their current spend rate. But yes, that will likely happen and with their retirement savings and social security they'd have to move to a LCOL area.

Basic point is, if my father had truly earned the income he claimed for decades against the lifestyle lived, they should have a retirement nipping at 8 figures; living out retirement in relative luxury and going on fantastic vacations on the regular. Instead they will have to economize and there may be a point where I have to kick in financial assistance.

Fair, the low likes could be vastly under-selling how many impressions they get and their click-through rate. Clearly it makes at minimum some money (and possibly a good amount) for the owner to be so diligently keep the page chugging along, I just remember being impressed how little engagement they get for 2M likes page on "their" items vs the "questions". If you scroll through Kroger's page [0] for instance, they have fewer likes (1.6M) but still get >80/100 reactions on every post including item promotions, though they are clearly better at crafting stories around them rather than plain "check this item, buy it here".

How to Read a Textbook (2003)
I've forgotten the material from many courses I've taken. But I've also discovered that the knowledge quickly returns if I retake a course on the same material, far quicker than it took the first time. The knowledge is still there, it just needs some WD-40 to break it loose again.

> Another issue is when the core product itself is faulty in a way the customer will notice.

Products with (really) rough edges is part of working at a startup. You may be dissatisfied with what you’re shipping but it is all about how much it is solving your customers’ problems.

This should definitely inform whether you stay or go as well as how much trust you can place in mgmt/co-workers.

Unethical practices by no means imply that a firm will fail. For that matter, dysfunctional firms don’t always fail either.
They should all be either allowed or denied. Why are UR-MOM or F-YOU considered offensive, while newer memes and slang that may be even more offensive can probably pass through the radar? Either allow everything, or deny vanity plates altogether.

A mix of a few things really:

- All the coworkers who I was more friendly with left the team/company and now I've been feeling completely detached from the team.

- the stock run-up has provided me with a (false?) sense of more financial independence.

- a handful of life crisis with a dash of imposter syndrome. Zero idea what I want to be doing with my life but being stuck as low level IC for a long time is hurting my already depleted ego - can't seem to avoid the pitfall of comparing myself to others.

All in all, just feels like I need a break and that it's probably time for some changes.
Your comment is exactly what I'd write if I believed in a fully competent government. Alas, reality steps in.

I learned that it was wrong to casually point a firearm at someone before I had the experience of firing a gun. I also first learned to direct my visual focus to the front sights. Knowing that rule enabled me to then gain more nuanced skill and helped me avoid building bad habits.

After 8 years in the software industry, I dearly wish that I’d been able to find such guidance about software estimation when I was starting out. At this point, I’m going to need some sort of therapy to be able to give software estimates.
