You're barking down the wrong tree. We're talking about the prediliction of one party in the US to bribe one group relative to another, not the other way around. But since you asked, Democrats have well established intention of ge

I'd rather politicians bribe voters than donors. Less chance of oppressive oligarchy that way.

Then again, all the stuff people put together in the past is pretty convenient. Maybe we should consider keeping the good stuff.

Depends on the length of the contract. Super short term contracts (measured in hours): $250/hr (though I might raise this after looking at this thread!) Short term contracts: $200/hr Longer term contracts: $175/hr Retainer: $

I agreed with that...right up to Roe v Wade being overturned. Privacy is going to become a very important issue very quickly as some states start to make laws that will be shockingly backward to most people. And those laws will be sticky a

The US codifying privacy as a Right. Too many parties interested in exploiting the lack of privacy are making the lack of privacy laws painfully apparent. When it changes, its going to be all at once.

Agreed. I chunk slack messaging the same way I do email. I have two channels that I'll take realtime notifications on, but if someone raises those flags without very.good.reason, they'll hear about it. I generally won't se

There have been a sharp uptick in layoffs...but it seems like those folks are getting snatched up almost as soon as they're let go the market is so hungry for talent.

That's great. I knew a woman who successfully went to a top university at 16 after being homeschooled who graduated summa cum laude and got a full ride scholarship to a very good law school. She was intrensically motivated and geared

A lot to unpack here but I've seen homeschooling work wonderfully and completely fail -- within the same household. Homeschooling is not for every family, perhaps not for most families. Parents may not have the luxury of time. Teaching

This is a LOT to put on a PO. I hope they have help.

Googling well is an underrated skill.

Sounds a lot like what JHipster does with Yeoman generators.

I don't agree with the people saying find new friends. I drink, but alcohol makes me feel terrible so I don't drink nearly as much or as often as many of my friends. But I still hang out with them and we still have a good time.

I'm in a similar boat. I feel your pain. I was an engineer and very early employee at a startup. I helped grow it from four clients to many millions in revenue and a successful exit. I nurtured a team of amazing engineers. I felt lik

If we're loosely defining a 'tech stack' as something you can build tech in and share, Jupyter Notebooks (I prefer Julia but Python is fun, too) are the most fun I've had coding cool, useful stuff that I can pass to othe

You need to find other smart people in a similar place but with no skin in your game and rubber duck with them about what you're thinking about. This has a lot of benefits: you can serve as their rubber duck and help solve their proble

I come from a very practical engineering math background. I am really excited about this project because it makes it very clear how everything hangs together in a way that I haven't experienced before. The visual structure of a single

Depends on what you mean by good but there are many that certain enterprises couldn't do without that well outperform competitors and employees would melt into bubbly goo if they couldn't use them anymore -- but they tend to be ve

It's unfortunate that all of this got politicized, but the fact is that nobody knows for sure where it came from nor does anyone know for sure where it didn't come from. I would say it's not a waste of time to review what lab

Date your posts! Mention versions and dependencies where possible/practical. Show me the code! Point to relevant source material.

You're right, poor choice of words. Quite rational market adjustments. However...I did end up going to another dealership that didn't do the adjustments. Since I tend to stick with vendors, especially for large ticket items, I su

I was in the same boat. I usually avoid buying new but used cars are nearly the same price as new (if you can find a dealer that hasn't done ridiculous 'market adjustments'). So we bought new. We had to buy a car that was ju

Keeping money moving is the desired outcome of inflation. Spending money isn't what keeps people in poverty.

I find the opposite. It is too easy to fit Really Hard Problems into one, seemingly innocuous, sentence. The 'reasonable' requirement is a tough one to get people to agree on, especially if they don't have a firm grasp on wha

Luckily there's a mechanism to entice people to give up some of their time and effort to work on things that other people find valuable. They don't have to be passively threatened with starvation or homelessness or other unpleasan
