> market inefficiencies In other words, you're telling me both people and organisations are imperfect?! Shocking. Sarcasm aside: really, it is shocking how SW engineers could come to think that any of the inexact, data-free, human

What surprises me is that plenty of engineers have remarked how a basic knowledge of algorithms and data structures has been the key to getting hired, rather than the ability to write good code or solve problems that are similar to the ones

I think the point is that `man` pages usually don't have enough examples. I've started switching to `info` for commands I don't know the first thing about. But a step further in the direction of examples would be helpful, e

I found Lubuntu the fastest. I copied ArchBang's awesomewm setup because ArchBang is beautiful. The result was fast and usable.

Why do you say Debian is a "monstrosity"? What would that make Ubuntu then?

by crasshopper 13y ago
yes, but archbang and crunchbang have nice defaults. As great as Arch's documentation is (best in all linuces I've tried), I still prefer to have some nice defaults so I can get stuff done whilst learning the knobs.

The author was astute enough to see his difficulties as a microcosm of what minorities regularly experience. That seems to have been lost in the HN commentary.

Yes. Look for your username in the top right corner of the T-shirt. It should be to the left of the word "logout" if you're logged in—or if you're not logged in, you'll see in the top right the option to do so. Clicking on your username bri

America is not a pure capitalist society. Of course. That's why I used the word "implementation". But I thought you had some kind of Marxist critique in mind that relates to some of the capitalistic aspects of the USA. (Since that is what

=) You're welcome. Have fun and I'll get back to work as well. I agree that stocks and mortgages don't capture happiness, wars, and so on. For anyone who cares to pick up the thread, steveklabnik has left you with: Marxism is really about

I don't understand your radians/degrees analogy. I'm saying that richer people hold more equity. It has nothing to do with a framework of analysis.

The only thing that matters is your relationship to the means of production: 'middle class' people are proletariat just like 'lower class' people are. It has absolutely nothing to do with your positioning in the table of income. I underst

if you haven't read… Surely you can answer my question why the wages went up and then down. oscilloscope posted a part of Marx's theory that's hopefully topical and has some insight to share with those of us who haven't yet set aside th

very simple - eliminate the tax advantages of assorted non-wage benefits yummyfajitas, that may shift compensation more towards wage/salary rather than benefits. What is it going to do about the unemployed youth?

by crasshopper 14y ago
Fewer downvotes if oscilloscope can explain why "capitalism" (or specifically let's say the US implementation) raised median wages for a period and then, didn't. I haven't read Marx, but if you two have, then maybe you can explain what feat

How many people learning python for the first time have a good knowledge of unix? This is like saying you should become a stronger first time weightlifter by juggling barbells.
