I've experienced this first-hand in a Rails app, last week in fact. The result was a messy, hard-to-understand hierarchy of classes and abstractions--just because two workflows shared some similarities. Usually I find this happening wi

Unless Rust itself solves a problem specific to your startup, I'm not so sure. I like Rust, but the language seems very complex compared with Ruby or JS, so your talent pool will be considerably smaller and probably more expensive.

It's not a trope. If you cannot learn to resist things and have a strong constitution, it will just be something else that swallows you up. > Only a minority of people can withstand an onslaught of determined, highly paid profession

The employer holds the leverage in the relationship. This negotiation is a fairy tale. At least being a contractor you are guaranteed this right.

It would have to be codified into law. It's funny that on the one hand they're vilified for taking advantage of drivers, yet are to be entrusted with offering a flexible work schedule for employees.

And the workers get flexible hours. You're only telling part of the story, making it seem as if there are no benefits whatsoever to being a contractor.

Contracting rules are very much on your side, being able to work the hours you want. Being an employee would give the employer more control over you. I don't understand why people don't get this. Contractors really valuable this f

What if I don't want to be an employee?

I don't think the Boston bombers or people using trucks to run people over are geniuses. Even the Batman killer was building bombs in his apartment. It's not rocket science. You may reduce the casualties with a ban and confiscatio

It's not, though. Something has changed. My father literally used to bring his rifle to school for the target shooting club (not sure the exact name). If you can blame guns, then you can also blame the internet because that's wher

by ahallock 4y ago
So guns are what caused this tragedy? The mere existing of them in the US causes people to lose their minds and go on rampages? We need to get to the root of the problem because people will find another way to enact their evil. Look at Bost

It really is this simple. I never do explicit diets because changing food AND calories can lead to quick failure. I just continue getting the same food and reduce the amount--small fries instead of large. Next time, half the small fries. In

Netflix was doing great, then other services came along. Local restaurants were doing well, then covid hit. Most things have a life cycle and black swan events happen. Can't be avoided; you can only have a contingency plan.

This is spot on and how whales take advantage of retail. Or influencers dump on their followers.

The why is easy. I mean, you basically have infinite entertainment and information at your fingertips. And it's all tailored to your interests. This is unprecedented. I don't think anything comes remotely close in human history.

Can someone re-create Simple with this? I loved that service.

Felt inspired to look at this again and there is a project called LunarVim which advertises giving you an "IDE" experience out of the box. Looks promising!

You are free to buy a different phone. No lack of competition in this industry.

How many are ending up in landfills because people aren't using them?

Do you have a discernible point? Young (and old) people have access to the internet to get informed on things like this.

by ahallock 4y ago
I've used Vim for 20 years. My main issue is that, while I love the text editing part, setting up something aesthetically pleasing with IDE-like features takes a lot of effort -- especially when you're dealing with multiple layers

College is one those transitional experiences, a short retreat after high school, before you are thrown into the "real world". You can let loose, party, be free--and learn some interesting things along the way. It's a luxury

We have people in our neighborhood posing as repairmen trying to get inside houses. I would like to have a buffer between me and the person at the door. Police might not do anything about stolen packages, but they will take incidents like t

I didn't find that phrase passive-aggressive at all. I found your verbose ramblings to be a huge distraction from the conversation, though.

We really need small businesses. I would hate to see them go extinct and only be left with a few mega corporations. It would be a shame to lose the local pizzeria serving up authentic, quality food and only be left with Little Caesar's

I've used Vim nearly every day for the last 20 years. Thank you for FOSS. RIP.

I think you're exaggerating/generalizing quite a bit. Although, I agree about the legal sex work. I'm also thankful there's no public nudity at the beaches here. The people you'd want to see naked won't be, and

Yeah OP is spreading FUD and some imagined version of the US rather than the reality.

I mean, this has always been the case, though, so not sure what this long, rambling comment has to do with the decline happening today. I also think you're being hyperbolic. No one, except fringe groups, treats sex that way here.

You just proved the parent's point.
