You can be in any situation and still live in a shitty situation. That's why many philosophies boil down to: you're going to be dead soon, you might as well start enjoying it, and if you're not... well... you know what to do.

As far as I'm aware there are 7 billion people on the planet... Yes, the middle class in America is losing people to the upper class at a 2:1 ratio to the lower class, if this continues 66% of people will be in the upper classes in the

I always assumed it meant the 70 million richest people on the planet, you know those rich people with college degrees who have time to hang out in parks and complain about how the world no longer treats them any better than anyone else. It

Ruby has very similar expressive power to LISP... I'm pretty sure that what PG was trying to say was that given two languages X and Y that if X is more powerful (expressive) than Y it will be better for startups. Not that if you don&#x

where are the assembler startups if more powerful languages don't give benefits?

Note the number of projects being witten in assembler, then try to calculate a rocket trajectory without calculus. More powerful language is the driver behind many advances and is generally considered to be the primary difference between hu

Definitely, once you've been around the block a few times you realize that it's the same everywhere. Eventually, you just find the biggest pay cheque you can, and do the routine of putting on your coconut headphones, sit down at y

Yeah it's like those people who have been working with J2EE for 25 years at Big Company X that is now bankrupt, and constantly complain about the lack of GANNT charts, or whatever the hammer and chisel tools they use to make J2EE apps.

I haven't see many places that that only have incompetent managers and no incompetent employees. :) Or alternatively, what does it say about people who have seen this culture for 4 years and are still there?

I got prime pretty much for the new Top Gear, everything else is just gravy. And now that I know I can return stuff I'm probably going to start buying clothes through prime.

It's the value of certainty that people are buying. Think of it more like 'Shipping Insurance', delivery fees are an unfortunate unavoidable thing, like car accidents. However, by purchasing 'shipping insurance' one

Too much typing / line noise.

Yeah, I hear you I get funny looks every time I make fun of 'whatever driven development', 'microservices', etc. It works well as I generally dislike working on teams that are just following fads.

I believe this is what foreign keys are for, and also, they are usually both ints/uuids/etc so generally they are interchangeable. I fail to see how customer.id = product.id is any less obvious of a bug than customer.cu
