Not to mention that IQ is such a blunt statistic. There's a guy I've known since 1st grade who I'd assert has a way higher IQ than me. When we were in high-school he was 2 or 3 years ahead of me in math and still breezing thr

Those `rare edge cases` you're marginalizing represent real people's lives. http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article41364675.html I gotta say, It's a struggle for me to read these threads and se

I remember reading about the F-35's catastrophic problems and cost over runs on slashdot when I was in highschool. I'm nearly 30 years old now. It seemed like an unsalvageable boondoggle back then. Glad the government appears to h

Right? I've got Google Fiber in my house and it's awesome. The hardware is solid, installation was fast. It's cheap and more reliable than my last TWC service was... Not to mention when I called to cancel my TWC service the &

Bir Tawil probably doesn't require a Visa. You might find the fiber optic infrastructure a bit lacking though. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bir_Tawil )

Good point. I've been writing a lot of coffeescript recently, and the `is` operator insulates me from that whole situation. re [1] - javascript isn't the only language == isn't bad and wrong everywhere!

What's spice? I'm assuming you're not talking about the substance from Dune, but following up with knife combat makes me wonder a little. Quick googling says it can refer to synthetic weed. I struggle to imagine something lik

To get you started, I'd like to compare my problems regarding `if <Constant> = <Variable>` with yours. This assumes you aren't the kind of lunatic to actually assign a constant inside of an if's condition. 1. I ca

I wrote a stock screener when I graduated from college years ago. It's an ensemble of technical analysis, moonbat garbage and horseshit. I ran it looking for a mixture of absurd dividends and lowish beta. CLM's just what I settled

I have no idea. From what I've made on the dividend + buying it and selling it, it could go to zero and I'd still have made money on it. Admittedly I bought it without much due diligence. Just wanted something to park my savings i

CLM. The dividend has paid my water, fiber and half my electricity every month while I've been out of work. Pretty nice!

Advocate for those affected by automation? That's like the teamsters advocating for bicycle couriers who lost their jobs to UPS. I don't understand how that would work. Good luck though.

This reminds me of the "you're holding your iphone wrong" explanation for the signal problems.

I'm not the parent, but I remember reading good articles - going back to them some time later and finding them deleted. Can't really recall the specifics but I bet they were for esoteric programming languages or something. http:&

Thanks for the reminder. I started college in 2007 and there was still an echo from the dotcom crash in the air, but I didn't have to go through it. It's funny you mentioned that a lot of people moved to law. That industry should

I'm glad to see someone voicing this opinion. Empathy takes looking at why you're dismissing the plight of other people and seeing how hard you have to futz with the multipliers before you can't dismiss it anymore. If us tech

I assume market rate seafood is going to be overly priced, I assume market rate salaries are going to be middling and uninspiring. I wonder why I assume the phrase "market rate" is a ticket to frown town?

Could you correct my intuition? Seems to me like increased trade could cause marginal, maybe ephemeral productivity increases. Couldn't a mining company that can now afford more drill rigs because of cheaper imports be more productive

Hey that's awesome! Thank you. I normally shield my eyes from the fancy new C# things like PLINQ and others because my hobby projects tend to sit in the Unity3d ghetto. Really cool to know they adopted that though.

This is a provocative piece of information, but I think there's some truth in it. When I burned hard out at my last job, I resigned and decided to take some time off. Writing code felt disgusting. I had a timeline when I was going to g

My last full time job was coffeescript. I could take or leave most of it, but returning to C# for a hobby project has made me really miss the null soak ? operator. I'm sure the craving will go away with a few more days of messing.

This was the same philosophy behind python 3, released 8 years ago. Still amazes me how slow the shift from 2.* -> 3 has been.

The lack of money printing wouldn't prevent groups of people from coalescing into big blobs and gaining a competitive advantage. In fact, I'd assert it makes it even worse. Imagine a sufficiently large alliance in your idealized g

I'd be interested to know the parts of Eve's economic system only 'kind of work'. I just checked the isk price of plex, it's only about 40% higher than it was 3 or 4 years ago when I last played. The yearly graph lo

Well, a technology expert is - in aggregate - more trustworthy than a politician because their incentives align with yours. This isn't to say that every technology expert can be trusted. The hope is that many eyes looking at the proble

My coworker and I just tested this. It doesn't say when you've sunk a battleship. This took us to frown town. Also, it doesn't show you the borders between _your_ battleships if they're touching. Makes using the honor sy
