Eh, it seems the author never worked for a big organization and when it finally did, it has a pet peeve.

Lemme tell you, every single organization that respect itself, it will tell you, during code review, that you do not use magic numbers in code. It's a red flag, so his "Do this: frobnicate(timeout_seconds=300)" will actually fail the code review.

Here is what you would do instead. Declare a constant in some constants only unit, with explanation what it does and then use that constant, like this:

//constant unit

const TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 300;//bla bla why this is 300 seconds, usually from client requirement

//code unit

frobnicate(TIMEOUT_SECONDS);
You aren’t certain, you are speculating.
It's entirely driven by spite and class warfare.

My impression is that elite institutions generally do not have a higher cost than the reasonable alternatives, so there's no need to justify if it's worth paying more for them as you're not paying more. Their credential value is strongly linked to their selection, but if they do select you, studies there can be more affordable than a "lesser" institution, especially because they are mostly funded not by your tuition fees but rather by the endowments of their alumni, so indirectly through your future income.

The highest cost seems to be for good-but-not-best institutions that have some specific niche/selling point for them but are not particularly selective and will accept almost anyone who will pay their price.

Like, if some school wants to build a reputation for having the best scientists or lawyers then they have to be somewhat selective with respect to performance and have very competitive admissions, but you also need to ensure that the particular young students with most potential can actually afford to study there; but if a school just wants to provide a good education in X and does not care who will enroll, they can just ramp up the fees until the applicants filter themselves out.

Unfortunately Sam wholly misses the point of college: it's a social club / network. The issue is "for-profit" colleges and the common misconception that college is about skills / education, when it's really (again) an expensive country club.

Sadly, the further in your career you go, the more it becomes pertinent who you know, and how many people in your network succeeded and can pull strings for you.

“Yesterday”

Followed by a blog post about why the deadline of yesterday doesn't need an explanation
You sure are interpolating a lot of your own angle into this discussion. Do you think most laypeople would understand (or even remember) the implications of the difference between a 100kT explosion and a 4MT one? Probably not, right? Why do you think the writer would? Is it actually an important difference as far as the narrative is concerned? You'll find that no, it isn't. Even if it were, it's pretty ridiculous to think that expert testimony from the event wouldn't be an appropriate figure to use for a dramatization of the event.
For online you just agree to take that 10-25% on your first purchase for being on their newsletter. So lame, but totally possible because of how it works with the person growing the newsletter subscriber base not having to care about the bottom line.

I used to sell bicycles where everyone expects a discount. Not being weak I would risk them walking away. Typically I would explain that we don't have much mark up on actual bikes and would also point out that I had spent a half hour or so on them so they can get the perfect machine. I would also explain to them that next week they would forget the price and that in ten years time they would see the price paid as a bargain.

I would then say that everyone likes a deal and that I could do them lights or a D lock or a helmet. I would explain that he brackets for the lights or the lock can be a faff to get right, and that if they took my deal, then we would get the chosen extras fitted properly and now. Usually this was enough for them to get the free lights, paying for the helmet and D-lock. So, by not being weak and being honest about 'my boss killing me for discounting', I would get full retail plus the upsells and a loysl customer. Nobody walked off with this stance which was great.

Naturally we had mountains of the accessories offered so it would cost $10 - $20 in parts that cost less than trade price.
For what its worth, 20% off of the retail price for a used item on CL seems like such a huge risk to me. I have gotten enough stuff off of CL where I didn't discover some issue with the item until I got home that I now generally won't even consider a listing that isn't 50% or more below retail (I mostly go to CL for "bespoke" stuff though, so often there is no "retail" price to compare to). When you add in the time and effort to respond to listings and then drive out, etc... it makes even less sense.

So you most likely are getting those responses because a large chunk of the CL buyers are in the market for prices at that level. A 20% discount feels like something you can get from the retailer if you just wait for a sale. But I guess, CL is popular enough where if you have the time to wait it out, you might eventually find a a buyer. But still seems insane to me that anyone would take that deal considering the risks.

Also, FWIW, there is no reason you can't counter offer in those cases. Considering the amount of time and effort it takes to meet in person, it is probably better that the price be pre-negotiated via e-mail before meeting in person. I certainly would never show up in person and try to get a lower price on the spot. The few times I have lowballed via e-mail (I was/am looking for a really niche item, and the only suitable listing has been sitting on CL for weeks) I got counter offered. It was still too high for my tastes, but the listing is still there so I might try again in a few weeks!

Can someone comment on how https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/ works.
I had to teach myself negotiation because I am not natural at it. I finally figured out a useful hack. My magic words are “What’s your best price?”. I ask it with a friendly, confident tone, as if it were my best friend on the other side of the table. This approach has conservatively saved me tens of thousands of dollars over the years and it is very low stress.

By the way, guitar center doesn’t really negotiate much anymore. They tend to price guitar more realistically than they used to. 10 years ago you could pretty much rely on getting 40% off or so from the price tag, but they’ve trended away from that in the last few years.

>not a eusocial one! Oh gods, no

That might actually be a very good starting point because eusocial species show something that's missing from the "I want a robot girlfriend" / George Hotz style takes, which is that intelligence is a collective effort.

Less anthropomorphizing and thinking of intelligence more of trying to bring individual actors together and building tools for this seems much more realistic. Sort of an updated, actually working Cybersyn.

I am simultaneously encouraged and disturbed by the idea that, say, 365 desktop native Outlook might be rewritten as a cross platform Electron app. Encouraged because if I could have 365 on Linux I would transition overnight, and disturbed because of the thought of grindingly slow Office on Windows (Teams already showed this tendency).

You could do that at places that check receipts such as Walmart, but not Costco as they can just terminate your membership.

Having units as part of your types improves legibility for whoever's writing code too, not just reviewing. You won't make (as many) silly mistakes like adding a value in meters to another in seconds.
The big tdd misunderstanding is to believe that it provides good test coverage.

TDD is about designing how a module is going to be used before actually implementing it.

It’s about considering the API as a product, rather than a side effect of the implementation.

It’s about putting oneself in the user’s shoes, instead of making it as easy as possible for the implementer.

Test coverage depends on the implementation, so you can’t design tests that will ensure 100% test coverage before implementing the stuff.
The realpolitik of the modern world is that you can't mess too much with any nuclear nation, no matter how much it sucks. All you can do is get your own nukes and make the red lines very clear, and cut off trading and diplomatic ties to the extent it won't be treated as a declaration of war. Unfortunately, the decision of x vs. total nuclear annihilation is very heavily weighed towards x, no matter what that x may be.

I'm starting to feel that our sense of morality is not well adapted to a world where a despot can end civilization with the push of a button.

> It was clear that Trump was not in control of the surveillance state: it was working against him

The Russian collusion narrative comes to mind. There was so much momentum behind it that at the time I assumed it was true, as well. I naively believed there was a class of patriotic, more or less selfless bureaucrats in the IC and DOJ (Comey, Clapper, etc.) that was more intent on preserving the democratic system and the stated principles of their organizations than pursuing any political agenda.

The results of the Mueller investigation and subsequent disclosures have thoroughly disabused me of that notion. I didn't realize just how stacked the deck was against Trump until watching them successfully bury the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election [0] where they astonishingly managed to discredit and bury a massive news story without ever denying any of the contents were true by saying nothing more than "it seems like something Russia would do".

Also public land-grant universities have been a great success on the main (even if recent events dim that a bit). Direct publicly provided education unlike universe healthcare has been a thing in the US, including being completely free in certain times and places (CUNY, for example).

I was traveling near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon Park. It was late in the evening (around 9PM or so IIRC). Wanted to crash for the night. Found a nice hotel in that cluster of hotels just outside the park. Walked up to the desk, asked for the manager. He comes up. I explain the situation to him: I've been traveling all day, all I need is a warm shower and a bed, and I'll be off in the morning.

He looks at me, writes a figure on a small sheet of paper and slides it over. I look at it, nod and slide it back, thanking him. It was almost half off their advertised rate.

Bonus: he asked me to park in the "employee of the month" parking spot, since that employee wasn't going to be working that night.
Cool. Not really trying to criticize it; just noticing that it doesn't work out of the box, and I personally have never had the time to fiddle with it to see if it can be made to work.

However, since we are in the thread I googled it with duckduckgo.com, and then followed the top blog post results, which involved:

- install "Package Control"

- use that to install Package → LSP-typescript

- restarted Sublime Text 4 (just in case)

But it still didn't work.

(For any reasonable value of "work"... I mean it didn't highlight errors in TypeScript as a typed them, and "go to definition" didn't jump to the correct definition, but rather offered me a list of every place in the project where a symbol with that name was defined (including the correct one, but also several incorrect ones).)

So, maybe I'm doing it wrong, or maybe it doesn't work.

I'd love to be wrong, though, and see an example (blog post, youtube, whatever) of Sublime working for TypeScript development with all/most of what VS Code offers out of the box (even if it involves some configuration steps).
I'm guessing that there are just many data sets, and each one is in the TBs of size.

It seems more likely that 50k is the actual cost and you're getting a 95% subsidy. Which seems reasonable - should a government be expected to subsidize international students? Not sure where I stand on that.

Besides which, I think EU countries do subsidize students from other EU countries so an Irish person can study in Sweden, for example, without paying high fees (need to confirm this).

Also, $50k is way higher than I expected. In my old university, NUIG in Ireland, it would be more like $15k/year for international students.
