I've always been heavily involved in permaculture and aquaponics. One of the things I've learned is that there is no such thing as waste in nature. Nature will always seek balance. Combine that with the fact that technologies gr

I saw trustworthy, loyal, and my mind immediately filled in the rest. I haven't had anything to do with Boy Scouts in over 20 years and I still remembered it flawlessly. It's a shame the clean rule isn't found in programming

Asking is different than demanding. They can't use it if they didn't receive an answer. They can ask, and then the candidate can choose whether they want to answer or not. It may be beneficial to the candidate to answer, or they

It's not so much that they can't, it's that they don't want to and it would be unwise from a strategic standpoint. Being an ISP is a commodity business and has really low profit margins. Ironically though, people still

I'm fine with the not discriminating part, it's the asking part I'm concerned with. It seems like censorship and going against Freedom of Speech to me. A better law would be that employers may not discriminate or refuse to h

Unions typically only exist when there is a huge supply chasing fewer jobs. With tech it's the other way around.

I started off with a really low salary because I was working as a developer outside the SF bay area and in an industry that paid really low. Then moved to the bay area. Every company or recruiter tries to place you at maybe 5% to 10% more

I'm surprised they didn't mention Sapir-Whorf in the vocabulary section. I think the implications for coding and UX are huge.

There's also the issue that people who already own homes won't vote for anything that would make living in the bay area cheaper because then their homes would be under water financially.

Yeah, it kind of sucks. If I had to pay $1.5M for just an apartment I would go elsewhere. But unfortunately, all the decent jobs are in the bay area. I tried looking for remote work but couldn't find anything decent that seemed like

Regulations, at least well intentioned regulations, exist to reduce risk to society. However, risk tolerance is rather subjective. It would be nice to allow people to pay more for less risk and have things cheaper if they are comfortable w

Aquaponics has numerous benefits compared to traditional gardening. Plants have plenty of water being on the obvious ones. Also, they tend to be fairly low maintenance once set up correctly. Just add food (most fish can go up to a week wit

I've built several aquaponics systems in my backyard (currently around 800 gallons worth) and have helped build out several others for other people. I have some constructive criticism about these designs. 1) Sand does not allow water t

> reasonable substitute for a 4-year degree You're still thinking in terms of a "degree". Education is not a checkbox on the road to getting a job. That's the old thinking, and it is doomed. A better question is wh

While I understand and agree with what the article is saying, I think a primary driver for other browsers catching up was that they were forced to because developers refused to spend the time dealing with quirks and browsers that didn'

I use OVH. Kimsufi is basically the same company. I think it is their low end alias or white label. I think Kimsufi limits you to 100Mbps which might not be enough bandwidth speed if you plan on server video or other large files to a bunc

Elm. Because it is super clean and easy to read. The compile time errors are fantastic. I feel, if my app compiles then it is going to do what I want. Not so when developing with other JS frameworks. The whole paradigm feels like it is
