I think the specific situation with Twitter is that it takes a lot more people to create and update a system of this size than it does to merely maintain it. They simply no longer have the capacity to make a large new product at this point,

In comparison, it shows that merely showing your face but otherwise not solving the problem, can be even worse.

It is. The way the two are defined/called us different, making refactoring a nightmare if you ever have a subroutine that later needs to be converted to a function to return a value. There's a reason other languages don't mak

I'm well aware of it. That's survivorship bias; it's literally the oldest one, and it's super dim, and it's never power cycled.

Ah yes, people, famous for living less than checks notes 2,500 hours.

And don't forget subroutines vs functions. Yet another pointless distinction that makes things harder and resists refactoring.

Oh it's even worse than that: learn.APPLEmusic.APPLE/APPLE-music-classical Three repetitions of "apple"! And the learn subdomain is meaningless. I like that they're using their .brand TLD but their URL strategy stil

That wouldn't do anything, as there's still a shortage of houses. They'd need to collectively invade and stop all the people involved in preventing housing construction, which is a LOT of people!

You're making too many assumptions from such broad data. No, houses don't generally fall apart within 50 years. But most houses built 50+ years ago are small by modern standards, and many have been torn down and redeveloped since

Being a subsistence farmer is terrible though. There's a reason 99% of Americans stopped doing it just as soon as they were able to. It's certainly not a comfortable retirement!

Your comments here are way less constructive, fwiw. Those in glass houses ...

There's two sides to every trading relationship. Even if the UK tries to reduce bureaucracy on their side, there's still all the bureaucracy on the side of the other countries they're trading with. And they literally just t

I think the problem was in the gateway to USD. If they only accepted crypto, and paid it out to the sex workers, then it would work. But in the real world your average John has a credit card, not crypto, and your average sex workers can&#x2

Have you heard the expression cutting off your nose to spite your face? That's exactly what you're doing here. Yeah, maybe some elites will get to renovate their houses. Who cares. Large apartment buildings would get built with hu

That's literally just how banks (and economics) work. Been like this for thousands of years. Every time a loan is issued, dollars are created. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_creation

Did you know that most dollars in circulation were created by non-governmental actors like banks?

Flat out they shouldn't have owned these if they wanted a safe investment. US Treasuries and similar would have been a better choice.

Retaining data that you said you had deleted is a major liability, especially now with GDPR.

It sounds like your underarching problem here is housing costs.

That's not how office space works though. Only about half the square footage max is actual office/desk space. The rest is hallways, meeting rooms, kitchens/cafes, reception, various amenities, etc.

Cars kill way more people than bicycles do though. Regardless of your perceptions here, this mode shift is overall safer.

All those immigrant tech workers in the US are assuredly adding more to the economy than they are taking. (And yes, they are immigrants on the path to US citizenship, not expats.) Your argument makes no sense.

If you click the button to delete that data, though, it is actually deleted.

It doesn't matter if it's a marker of quality, most high-paying jobs require a university degree. That $80k BS in Psychology will open a lot of doors to you across a variety of industries that would be shut if you only had a high

I remember when Perl cgi-bins blew my mind. A webpage wasn't just static HTML and images anymore, it could be a program that did arbitrary things! Nothing new under the Sun.

This is gonna blow your mind, but most developers don't use React at all. Hell most developers don't rarely if ever do frontend web development.

React and PyTorch are just libraries, with plenty of competition. The industry wouldn't be that different if everyone was instead using Vue or Angular or whatever other frontend JS library would've come along had React not. You&#x

A degree from an accredited university is a real valuable thing to have with a wide degree of potential applications. A boot camp doesn't give you anything like that.

You think it's mainly those factors and not simply greater use of insecticides?

Wow this is bleak. The supply of rideshare cars is clearly eclipsing the demand here, yet it doesn't seem like these workers have any other jobs they can do either.
