It may or may not be fraud as the letter of the law, but this is definitely the shadiest part of the story. Also a pretty lame thing to do.

It would have been much more elegant to add some crazy overpriced option to your pizzas where you could make a huge margin. Like "gift wrap +$100" which would mean putting a $0.01 ribbon around the box. You could make much more money this way from Doordash with less hassle than switching certain orders to plain dough.
It seems like there's a bunch of coastline restoration and mangrove planting happening as well. Has that not started in earnest?
Safari has done it for a long time, Chrome and the others more recently.

Even back in 2012 people were raising the question of whether shared caching of libraries from the public JS CDNs was effective — due to too many different versions in use, and content being evicted from the browser cache sooner than most expected

> willing to pay $5-10 premium to not have to pick it up from myself

You're going to have to pay a lot more. The model can't be sustained at this price. Once the driver pays for gas and (over time) wear and tear on the car, even with healthy tips this ends up being sub-minimum wage. We got used to that price when VC money was subsidizing it and gas was half the price it is now.

Yeah you can read someone's personal account on how they are able to clear $20 an hour regularly doing delivery, but they have to employ all kinds of strategies to do so, including taking multiple orders at once, purposely ignoring orders that are unlikely to have significant tips, and completely ignoring entire sections of the city that aren't "hotspots" with tons of restaurants cranking through orders. Not to mention they are still probably undercounting the cost of wear on their car, and most people touting their delivery driver profitability are probably exaggerating.

This piece touches on the inherent tension between originality and selling out (or selling to the masses) that I've definitely seen in comic circles. So many aspiring indie artists/comic creators who think Patreon is their easy ticket to a passive and liveable income when the stark reality is much different.

It's why my first piece of advice to any creative is to have a dayjob that maximizes their free time to create freely without financial strings. Even if burnout or predatory publishers don't get you, following the whims of trends is a slow creative death that's far more insidious than the other two.
But pizza places have been doing delivery for decades with employee cars. Why is it now "bad" when a tech company does it? The scale?
In 2015-2016 SF Haskell meetup used to be hosted by an ed-tech company that used Haskell as the main language, so maybe viable.

Aside for anything else, backwards compatibility is good (repeatability for a certain behaviour). And it doesn't seem relevant as to why you'd completely ignore it when discussing cache eviction compared to Redis.
It produces best performance OOB with minimal API way of registering your endpoints. Which is expected to be the default way for many newcomers to the framework. On 5800X, hello world with some logic and cached JSON output (not raw bytes but actual response object so no cheating) produces over 4GB/sec when benchmarked over localhost on .NET 7.

Yeah same. I grew up on old-school straightahead jazz, prog & classic rock, and chicago blues, similar age as you. I love new music.

The technical quality of modern hip hop and pop are just astounding. There are literally dozens of producers working right now who would have been singular TITANS even a generation ago. Thanks to the black church "farm league" world-class virtuosic drummers and singers who are expert improvisers are easy to find as session musicians and it has completely changed how ambitious producers and songwriters are able to be.

And jazz now is fucking wild, it's unreal. The influence from hip hop & electronic I saw coming but metal, of all things, being a big one I did not. And the jazz/pop crossover influence is as fertile as it has always been. People need to get over their fear of autotune and let themselves have fun because it is.

Sure yeah most music is not particularly interesting but that has literally always been the case. But right now there is more variety than there ever has been, more skill going into making it, more good shit happening than there ever has been I think.
The cost per mile for the class of people making these comments is not the same as the cost per mile for the guy doing delivery work.

You probably drive a nice new Camry or some other vehicle that is far from the "floor value for A to B transportation in a given mechanical condition" and will fall in value precipitously as it hits various milestones. The delivery driver has some 15yo car with over 150k on it where value is purely dependent on mechanical condition.

You probably replace your tires when your mechanic tells you. These delivery driver runs them until they're bald.

You take your car to the premium mechanic. The delivery driver has "a guy" who does 99% of his basic maintenance for cheap and only ever has big stuff done at the mechanic.

These people (the ones who understand the economics of what they do, which is most of them) don't maintain their cars like techies do. They take a page out of the age old "pizza delivery" playbook. With the highly variable nature of distance driven and compensation these people are generally well aware of operational costs vs gross income. You kind of have to be.
This is assuming that people make art as a career. I just released my first music album this week (NOT going to post a link here). I did it for me (well other than the lullaby, which I wrote for my daughter). Art as passion project is still alive and well, and I'm totally fine with chasing the long tail, and going full word of mouth and obscure stumble upon style suggestions to find new things. Certainly works better than listening to marketing.

Yep. I do not own a mobile-phone. Never had a "smart"-phone.
Finally cancelled my last GSM subscription ~2003 after having not used it for long. Reason: the RF gave me headaches & concentration problems. Yes, its the RF. At home, everything is wired. I try to limit wireless exposure as much as possible.

I have a fancy landline with phone book, speed-dial and answering machine. And email. And a postal address. Never lost a customer or a friend over not being reachable 24/7. On the contrary. Most people react with surprise and then envy when they discover I have no mobile-phone. Highly recommended.
Let me throw in a key skill for (Great) Programmers - the ability to approach a problem in a logical, step-by-step process. This facilitates design and makes debugging possible. Experience colours the debugging process by broadening the range of "how the #!&!%! did that happen" that merit consideration. It's easier when you have seen the problem previously.

And such programmers work within themselves to keep things as simple as possible. As Kernighan said: "Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?"
Raspberry Pi is only supported with Windows. We intend to support RasPi + Linux in the future. So any time you invest in Redbean today, will pay dividends as support expands in the future.

Yes, the main killer factor for programming is being able to pair your coding skills with another skill (e.g. business/domain knowledge, management, marketing, etc.). Many programmers don't do only programming as time moves on. They add other skillsets or branch out.

H/T to the always-excellent The Browser for alerting me to this one. The summary from the email:

Our tech-obsessed society constantly produces glossy "dongles" designed to "fix" the world for disabled people, while mostly ignoring the needs expressed by this very group. Meanwhile, disabled people have always repurposed objects to make the world more accessible. Rubber bands, silicon trivets, the perfect tongs: all of these and more are constantly put to ingenious use.
I think this is a big part of it. I was an early adopter of iTunes, and it simply chokes on the volume of stuff I was putting in there. With streaming platforms, much of your collection is out of sight/out of mind I find.... I've returned to purchasing albums on vinyl and compact disc. Streaming isn't for me.

a) traditionally, the delivery driver keeps the entire tip in cash. there's no bullshit "delivery fees" added to an order which actually don't go to the driver.

b) it used to be a lot less costly to operate a basic car in the US/Canada on a dollar per mile or km basis
Teens said this exact same thing over a decade ago when I was in high school as a millennial. Line-by-line actually. It's all a bit overdramatic.

I didn't do anything special and I ended up okay and happy. My wife and I both went to in-state schools in a red state. Had in the 10s of thousands of debt between us but that wasn't undue burden by any means (It was worth the investment actually!) Not saying everything is amazing but it reads to me like excuses.

For instance, "I'm in debt with a degree that I can't get a job for." Who cares? Most people get their next job due to their last few, not their original degree. You wouldn't be the first person to pivot your career. But it's easier to have an excuse.
I’m also in the embedded space and I totally agree with you. I have 12 years of experience and I’m still getting better and learning new things. I worked with some people with >30 years of experience and they were by far the best and most knowledgeable programmers I’ve ever encountered.

Maybe it’s because embedded programming doesn’t change as often as other areas, such as web frameworks. The experience I have from 12 years ago of reading data sheets, interfacing I2C sensors to a PIC32, and debugging by turning on LEDs is still relevant today, even though I have moved on to much much more complicated projects.
Or through a free online course like deeplearning.ai or fast.ai, and a few personal projects.

So many PhDs I've worked with have known the literature but couldn't produce something valuable to save their life. That might have been the nature of them being over billed on projects and spread too thin, but I do not think that is a requisite for building models. It certainly isn't for the rest of the engineering pipeline.
It’s the “oopsie whoopsie” part of the message that reminded me of the same article.
Er, what? The VS Code extension gets updated all the time, it was updated in tandem with .NET through to .NET 6 and is currently being developed for .NET 7.

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotne...

Works with
Linux x64, Alpine Linux 64 bit, macOS Intel, Linux ARM64, macOS Apple Silicon, Alpine Linux ARM64, Windows ARM, Windows ia32, Windows x64

.NET 6 is the first where they fully supported M1 Macs, maybe you last looked before .NET 6 released? Either way, VS Code is definitely a supported way to work with .NET.
As a cyclist, I'm super excited about one day being run over by one of these things. The giant vehicle trend is getting a lot of people killed.

It's always fun to mix peppers when fermenting. Could add a couple habaneros if you wanted heat! I also sometimes char half of them to get a smoky flavor. Just make sure some are raw so that it ferments.
It does not logically follows at all. Nothing in what previous poster said prevents analysis of group behavior or treatment. It does not make it impossible to talk about race or gender or age - it only makes it less naive.
There are two WiFi networks pretty much - one for work (provided by Xfinity), another one is an OpenWrt router WiFi, which is connected by WiFi to Xfinity WiFi.
No, but it was undoubtedly produced with the intention to get the most people hooked as possible. Traditional media was just less effective at hooking people because of the limited number of distribution channels and the cost of producing content.
> On those lengths you start to go a little crazy

100% this. After 16 hours, I could have kissed the ground when I walked off that plane. At some point, after maybe 8-10 hours, order seems to break down a bit. People stop caring so much about keeping clean, the plane starts to get really cluttered and nasty, food ground into the carpet. I feel for the cleaning crews that have to spruce up the interior after a really long international flight.

I still remember the first time I flew home from the north, we had taken off from Dubai and were headed to Seattle, which goes over the north pole. I watched that silly map more than I should have (it just makes things slower, I'm sure...) and I was so elated the moment we went 'feet dry' over North America. And then I realized that we still had six plus hours to go, more than if we were starting at the east coast. I was so sad for a few minutes I could have cried.
House arrest? What a bizarre way of looking at it. Today I went and got my car fixed at the mechanic during the same period of time I would have had to vacantly stare at my monitor and pretend to be productive at a typical cubicle job. I have more freedom of movement now than I ever did with the strict 9-5 schedule at an office.
> What's wrong with fad and hype driven development?

The "flavor of the month" band wasn't as good as The Rolling Stones. That's not the end of the world if all you did was buy their CD, and then never listen to it again after the month was up. If you completely rebuilt your stereo to try to make that CD sound better, though, that gets more expensive. (Especially if you rebuild it again next month for a different band.)

Development is more like rebuilding the stereo than buying the CD. It's expensive. It takes time and money that could be spent on other things.

Worse, in replacing dependencies, you may replace a dependency on something that works with a dependency that doesn't work nearly as well. You may replace your Corvette with a Corvair. (And spend time and money to do it.)

If you have battle-proven tech, there is a place for eventually replacing it. Eventually, though. Not very quickly. And when you do replace it, don't replace it with the fad of the month (or even the fad of the year).
when I say that a delivery driver has sunk some huge amount of money into a car, relative to their annual income, it's probably proportional to what I pay for a modern japanese car.

if you make $32k a year, a $4000 corolla is a lot of money.

it is not at all the same economics as the actual historical method of pizza delivery by cheap crappy car, because of the greatly increased cost of fuel (while delivery driver wages are nearly the same now as they were 20 years ago), and the fact that the traditional delivery driver is paid almost entirely in cash.

Big fan of trackball mice, particularly ambidextrous trackball mice. They're the only ones that don't give me shoulder issues. Scrolling still needs to be perfected with this form factor, though. I'm working on seeing if I can make a custom trackball attachment for Steam Deck. The trackpad wasn't as great as I hoped it would be.
how do you reseal after you cut off a corner?
I stopped ordering from any delivery service that isn't directly the restaurant itself. Half my orders were wrong. I had one where the driver dropped off an order with a different name on it; clearly visible. I called out to him saying such, and he yelled back that it wasn't his problem, call the restaurant (clearly, it _was_ his fault, he grabbed the wrong bag).

Nowadays, I just order for pickup and go get it most of the time. None of the delivery services care about quality _at all_.
"Job security"

Without being too reductive, software is subject to the theory of economic profit and thus tends to ~free.

Churn is the natural response. It artificially create the sort of work that forces users to spend money in the future.
Nope. As a Salvadorean the "they've blown about 1% of their annual budget" argument irritates me...

First of all: "annual government budget of about $5.6B" this is misleading, the government is 100% reliant on NEW debt to operate, there is NO "disposable income" not even a penny...

Heck, the goverment just approved a new $650M debt package to execute a "last resort" strategy and try to pay old debt by buying bonds expiring on early 2023 at below face-value price, because lenders have pretty much lost faith on the goverment having the capacity to pay, so they are "cutting loses".

1% may look like nothing at face value, but when you are even a little bit informed about Salvadorean reality you know that $104M is A LOT of money for a country where the ICUs of the most important hospital of the public network get FLOODED every time there is a couple of hours of rain [1] and rebuilding the whole hospital would cost $170M...

Before the pandemic saved me from ever having to do it again, I was traveling from Portland to Hyderabad twice a year, and I told my manager that I wouldn't go back unless I could stop over in London for a day before continuing on to Hyderabad.

Which indices of the stock market showed an 80% loss from peak value?
Your comment is the pearl clutcher's equivalent of a grammatical nitpick. Of course nobody wants to kill anybody (to a first order approximation). But killing people is rare, far rarer than DUI tickets (google up death stats vs tickets issued stats and crunch the numbers for yourself if you want). The most likely bad outcome of driving drunk is a ticket so that's the bad outcome people cite because it's the one most likely to happen by a long shot.

Here's a tip, you can remove chlorine from tap water by spinning it for a minute in the blender. Then it won't interfere with fermentation.
The answer there is level/competence-based, rather than years-of-experience based compensation structures. If you're only 50% more valuable than someone else, you should make ~50% more, not 100% more. Note that these figures are in total-cost-to-company terms, which might mean your own gross pay would be more than 50% higher if social and per-employee-overhead charges cap out.

Part of the issue is people with 25 years of experience think they deserve more than someone with "only" 15 years and when they don't get it, it's because of ageism or age-discrimination not accurate assessment of value.

Reciprocally, historically this is nothing new. Fame begets adoration. Mona Lisa became famous painting and hence valuable only by the publicity created due to it’s theft. Without the publicity it would be exactly the same painting, only not as valuable.

There are several effects at play affecting an art pieces ”market worth” and ”quality and skill of the art” is only one component.

True. I enjoy documentaries about art forgers, who have followed this logic to its inevitable conclusion. They combine enormous technical ability with an antiquarian's exactitude and a dramatist's understanding of social dynamics to create the illusion of discovery for a market in which perverse incentives abound.
> As I grow older I guess I am growing more fond of statically typed languages. It's easier for my decaying/distracted brain to reason about. There is less mental overhead I suppose

I'm not even sure it's an "older" thing -- it's nice just to have less mental overhead.

The things that used to turn me off from static languages (eg: most of the benefits dynamic languages have) have disappeared. Generics allows creation of some powerful re-usable code (eg, List<T> or RunningAverage<T>). Tools to easily convert any random JSON or XML to concrete classes make it a simple extra step to consume any API.

The benefits are massive. Code-completion just frees your brain from having to remember or deeply think about what's available. Type-safety giving compile-time (or even coding-time) errors prevents so many stupid problems that, in a dynamic language, take a runtime check to find.
There is, in general, a very big gap between private and cost-doesn't-matter commercial. And, no, I can't speak to what flying private is like.

Flying can still be a hassle flying business/first mostly because of cancellations/schedule changes--which can still happen otherwise because of weather, air traffic, etc.--but is less frequent I assume. A lot of the hassles of commercial flight (security lines, lack of overhead space, airport crowds in the waiting area, cramped seating, etc.) can be mitigated to a significant degree however.
Hahaha apparently so.
