Even though there is, today, half a dozen startups dedicated to solving just that (Deel comes to mind), yes, it definitely is reasonable. I just don’t appreciate people sanctimoniously dishing out lessons all while not applying what they, u

It’s mostly a problem when the main purpose in hiring remotely is to aggressively save money.
514.
by ElFitz 3y ago
I would agree with that. Except the guy touts the merits of hiring from anywhere. He seems to think he’s somehow better than all the others he criticises (I, personally, favour remote work. Just not holier-than-thou hypocrites). All while h

Then how about hiring people in Canada? Unless Canada somehow has worse education system than the US? Or, if it’s really only about education systems, Finland? Seriously, if it’s only about education, you can do better than the US.

Perhaps he should put his money where his mouth is: https://careers.airbnb.com/positions/ Because "US, except these states" isn’t exactly hiring "from anywhere".

Maybe we’ll have to create something where like-minded actual people share links to content they found interesting? Perhaps this thing could be tailored to a specific community? Or be, itself, a community of communities? I may just be onto

> Civil torts are not contained within any legal code, and as such cannot be illegal. Doesn’t that depend on the country? Would it also be true in civil law countries? Or only in common law countries?

Sadly it doesn’t enable you to totally bypass Xcode. And JetBrains is sunsetting it: https://blog.jetbrains.com/appcode/2022/12/appcode-2022-3-re...

Personally, my biggest gripe with the Swift DX, or anything DX related on macOS, actually is with Xcode.

It’s funny how I used to think that operating systems, databases, and cloud systems, as these kind of arcane things that were somehow apart from the rest of software. I could not begin to grasp how they could deal with running programs, acc

Bad UX. Mediocre DX. Average documentation. Unreliable tools.

Oh! I thought you perhaps were making assumptions about where I could be from and had some specific event from my supposed city / country in mind that I would have completely missed. You intended a more generic meaning than that.

It’s always amusing to realise how few understand that laws and rules only apply to those they can be enforced upon. It may not be the spirit of these rules and laws, but it is what happens in practice. International law is the best example

Yes, they do. But usually not for Kurzsegagt. Kurzgesagt, here, is an example of professional content without much, if any, fluff. Contrary to lots of content, professional or lot, which relies on artificially increasing it’s without adding

About almost any information? Yes and no. Value isn’t absolute. Value is in the eye of beholder. But when a video is about one specific topic and people start posting timestamps along with it to tell viewers when to start watching, it means

I, for one, used to actively choose to mute the TV and go to the bathroom during ads. It wasn’t happenstance. And I fail to see how doing so somehow meant I was taking without putting back. The tv channel got paid the same. Advertisers just

To use one of your examples, Kurzgesagt’s value is as much in the provided information as in the way it is provided. Unlike many supposedly professional or amateurish YouTube videos that just artificially elongate their introduction by repe

Python seems to have won over the Data / ML world. So I’d wager they use what they and their intended audience know.

Yes, but most countries in general have lower tertiary education rates. If I too were to play the data cherry picking game, I could point out that Norway is at 55%. How does that prove anything? It just disproves your unfounded assertion: &
