Can we stop with the hyperbole? Even at current rates with a bit of rise, the lowest livable salary is doubtful to go over 100K - heck I can budget right now to live in California (with no savings) at 50K. The rich aren't that dumb. Th

Why lump git into this?

by adjkant 8y ago
No, because the quality of life is not similar. I think the parent of your post implicitly used that quality of life and poverty rates between the two are (relatively) comparable.

Okay I don't think either of these are really that bad but in no world can you justify a bad action by saying "they made URL's ugly". No.

$10 on $100 is far more than their fee. If you signed up, bought on Coinbase and sold on GDAX at the same price you'd make $8.51. Small but indeed free money if you know what you're doing.

I see a lot of people that are pro-JS are coming from Java/C++: Re the Javascript advantages of JSON and quick writing: Python! It too has its flaws, but so many fewer and writing in it is a breeze. Python 3 is only getting better to,

by adjkant 8y ago
Try Python - JSON works very well with it and while Python has its flaws, I think it's a much better language to use.

by adjkant 8y ago
I don't think JSON is a signifier of that - we had XML before and you're always going to need plain text types of files like that. Python also plays well with JSON. It's just Java/C++ types that don't play easily wi

Vonnegut when read carefully. Slaughterhouse-Five, Galapagos, and Sirens of Titan are three of the better ones I have read. They all connect tangentially to the same universe, so reading more Vonnegut also has cool pay-offs and tie-ins.

A CS degree with an AI concentration closer to that of a masters student than an undergrad. While I think the importance of this degree is small, there are jobs that will prefer that.

This is a great introduction to Racket as a language for building languages. For those interested further, there is a lot of work with Racket in this respect. A recent paper previously hit the front page of HN on "Domain Specific Langu

They recently switched their pay model to upfront quarterly, which gives them an influx of cash short term. Not a good sign for long term but it will keep them afloat and allow everyone to burn VC money for a bit longer. In their minds, I&#

Flask is an absolutely amazing experience for small-mid sized projects. You have to hand roll and pull in things for bigger projects, but I think it's great when you want "just what I need and nothing extra". I'd be curi

In crypto, yes, and there are tons of bots out there, many taking very different approaches. There are a few very big ones that are quite easy to spot if you sit and watch GDAX for 5 minutes. It's too high risk for most big firms to to

I think if you look, the bias is clear there. The ending is a clear conservative dog whistle as far as I'm concerned. I see no reason that the mention of a possible presidential bid and a statement against Trump is relevant to this oth

In this case, it's possibly the spin of fox, or at least their intentional inclusion, to act as a dog whistle to conservatives about liberals (mentioned as possibly running for president) wasting money to fight some imaginary thing, at

This is pretty well designed - many CS ethics courses (of the few that exist) don't cover nearly enough. Seeing stuff like gamification, ethics of profit and behavior when in position of authority are some surprises I don't typica
