   The problem domain is only a means to an end. It could be anything, but payroll in this case might be where somebody sees an opportunity to take advantage of just for access to what they really want. I don’t understand why people (and the o

   I read the comment. He’s telling me that people are passionate about things that they’re obviously not passionate about. It feels like gaslighting. When I read job descriptions that tell me I’m supposed to care about some guy’s boring compa

   I’m sorry but I still don’t agree > imagine a scenario where someone has been working for years as a payroll administrator or someone who’s been a consultant working on implementing payroll systems for decades These people hate their job

   I know, but it’s still useless advice. It reminds me of people who do competitive programming as a hobby then act smug when anyone complains about technical interviews.

   > Do things because you have genuine interest in them... Don’t start out with a singular goal of making money. I really hate advice like this. Have you ever seen a business before? Have you ever met a person? Pretty much no interests are

   I don’t think there’s a single poor Latino person in the world that believes their life is better because they are better represented by pop stars at the inauguration. What are you even trying to say?

    “Conservative” in the sense that they want to preserve existing power structures, not that they don’t want to jump on new trends. Look at the mainstream coverage of the GME fiasco, for example. That’s why they love “progressive” ideas that

    The concept of a singular “white” is an American invention which ignores the fact that intra-white oppression happens all over the world. In the UK Irish people were traditionally oppressed, now Eastern European immigrants are treated poorl

    I think this is a problem that will solve itself as global inequity is reduced. When there's no cheap third world labor the average person won't be able to afford to fill their home with Chinese knick knacks, and there won't

    There’s already a trend in certain high schools where kids start doing competitive programming, hackathons, blog writing, etc. way before university starts. By the time they’re college freshmen they’re ahead of the average new grad already

    For a lot of young people, the only paths to a regular life are either work hard for 5-10 years, live like a poor student, save the majority of their money and gamble that life will be affordable at the end, or just gamble away their money

    The bigger number is the important part. I could spend 3 years unemployed in my Canadian city then work for a year in SF and my savings account would be bigger than if I spent 4 years working locally. That's a huge QoL difference. I&#x

    Thanks for sharing this. It's embarrassing to still be a Canadian. Feels awful to know half my coworkers make so much more than me just because they live a few hours further south.

    $75,000USD a year is barely enough to buy a small condo in regions of Canada where 1/3 of the population lives. I don’t know how anyone could possibly believe happiness ends at $75k.

    I used Racket in an intro to CS course a few years ago and was told it’s designed to be a teaching language. Is there any reason to use racket over a more popular functional language? Does anyone use it in production?

    To those who say BMI is misleading, consider that athletes of average height weigh around 150-160lbs when they have a lot of muscle and very low body fat. If an average man didn’t work out at all (no muscle) and had low body fat, he would p
