Cold call job interviews are primarily for people early in their career to get established in the field. You don’t hire someone that way to lead the Golden Gate Bridge. How do you think companies hire for key roles like CEOs?

> they make a lot FEWER such mistakes than would people who could not pass the exams and maintain a license. I don’t know if that’s true. More schooling does not mean more trustworthy or careful doctors. And I suspect some negative trait

Credentialing lowers the skill floor and increase every other kind of friction. Civil engineering or medicine is hardly a desirable career model to follow. Btw doctors make mistakes that kill people all the time. It’s a top 3 cause of death

LinkedIn shows me there are whole parts of our industry I never work with. Long time programmers saw striver kids replaced computer kids. But their level of competency in technical companies is generally high. On the other side of the fence

That’s not the criteria outlined in the quote you just used.

This is an off topic rant unrelated to mathematical ability which is a closed problem often with complete logical information.

It’s immoral not to get a free phone photos app? Come on bro. You’re moralizing, not dealing with wrongdoing or mistreatment.

by groundzeros2015 2mo ago
I would select products and services which are aligned with your values rather than moralizing.

We’re talking about an optional phone app.

Yes, it’s the most useful programming language you can learn.

You comment this almost everyone it comes up. The hardware also isn’t x86! That’s an abstraction too. The point is in C you have greater control of execution and resources, not that it matches the hardware exactly. It’s a spectrum and C i

Can you break down the participants in this story in Marxist terms?

Yes but the syntax encourages patterns which would be uncommon in pre-ES6 JS. I can’t rely on TCO if chromium doesn’t have it.

by groundzeros2015 2mo ago
Js really should have it. I think the shift in style from functional and manual prototype chains to Java classes is quite disappointing.

It’s also embarrassing to see a philosopher summarized in quotes or sayings when their real thesis is probably the opposite of what the snippet suggests, Philosophy is not about clever observations! They are developing systems and arguments

Apple is large. People free stronger allegiance to their cultural and ethnic groups than their companies. They just don’t want to get in trouble.

When you’re in these circles there is pressure to earn even more money (which is part of the employee retention plan). There is always someone richer. There is always a property you would like to buy.

We should track and fix buffer overflows. And you’re right, I don’t know all the ways this can be combined with other attacks related to the shell. But when I design a system the security people at work tell me to assume any bad thing can h

Also a buffer overflow in user space for a tool not serving internet traffic is not a big deal.

Guaranteed destructors is probably the most complex features ever added to C++, more than templates or move semantics.

You just said they don't have enough money for investments. Why would they pay for an advisor? Can you clarify what you're trying to communicate on the topic of "financial advisors" other than a general class grievance b

> wealth inequality which causes low wages This is a tautology. Low wages are caused by having skills which are in high supply and low demand. At my local McDonalds you can make 60k/yr. So that sounds like a decent start.

When I see “stack overflow blog” the brand encodes distrust. I remember when they removed links to meta and replaced them with the corporate blog with low quality PR and political agitation.

Saves money by not renting? This sounds like an Upper class 20 year old activity. Are they not renting a trailer so they can put $200/month in Tesla? The level of discipline and focus to be that kind of super saver doesn’t sound like t

Bad strategy? Or on average not optimal?

What are you talking about? What is “rent”? You can rent an individual room. You can rent a double-wide trailer. You can move to Kentucky. You can work 40 hours (guaranteed 40-50k year). > stop responding to all incentives and deliberat

Nowhere is anyone saying this. Yes if you’re poor you are not in the market for a financial advisor. You’re also not in the market for a dentist or family doctor. These are services for middle class people. This is not a thread about class

Many people go through a “homeless” period of not having a permanent address. Couch surfing. Motels etc. It’s not fun. It’s very stressful. Our systems have a positive feedback loop against financial instability. However there is another ca

I don’t have any reason to think that international economies are not correlated to the US. But also I don’t expect them to be that successful. Europe and South-east Asia have a mafia like relationship with their established businesses and
