   Air traffic control is kinda like that. English is not the required default, but must be used upon request.

   > Unreasonable management seems to be giving developers PTSD here. It's inexperience all around. Also, most places have no clear long term track, so people bounce after 2 years rather than growing to understand each other. Managers

   But then you say go for it and get upset about all the time I spend getting a passport, booking flights, and figuring out how to transport the ice cream back. I’m kidding, of course. It really depends on how well business and development un

   Isn’t the flip side to that Cambridge analytica? A bunch of anon accounts devoted to pushing an agenda? Maybe not. It sure seems like a knife edge to balance on. I agree with you, I like the ability to create random one shot accounts to com

   From my vague systems experience, it makes sense. If everything works, you have time for random nonsense. You want a sysadmin that’s playing video games all day, because everything is in great shape. Not a constantly stressed , jaded, angry

   There are a few skills that an undergrad history degree will do for you. Off the top of my head, critical thinking, organization of disparate concepts and events into a coherent whole, and writing well. One of the best programmers i worked

   Well, it’s probably not that bad. I think it’s more like google makes everything work ok, apple tries to really nail core functionality and let the rest slide. Music interaction is a great example of the trade off.

   Wierd. I’d always thought of go as a slower Java with an shallower pool of good libraries and weak dev tools. Is the compiler and gc that good? Maybe I’ll have to give it another try.

   Not at all. Each actor should extract maximum compensation for the value they provide for their efforts. Europe underpays at every level so it’s “cheaper “ but not an accurate representation of fair market value.

    And then the account can be sold. Or you can post for money if you’re more interested in renting.

    I understand your point. But if a pipe only carries 10 gal/min and the new building requires 20, it’s on the developers for the upgrade. And to clarify, by new installations I mean paying for half a mile or more of infrastructure. Not

    I lived in the sticks. To connect to a utility, you pay the initial cost. Stuff like utility poles or pipes. The maintenance is covered by the community. Perhaps it’s not like that everywhere. But from that background, it seems reasonable f

    Bill Gates said something like that. You always over estimate what you can do in a year. But you’re always shocked at how much happened in seven.

    I'm really happy to have my freedom of speech. I don't think i would do well under the classic Puritan model. I do sometimes wonder if there's room for a special class of formal speech for journalism. Grant rights perhaps for

    As one of the likely cheerleaders, without the tax credit, it’s not UBI. (In my humble opinion) This is pure charity.

    Check the terms and conditions. Their commitment to paying a portion of your legal fees if you’re sued is proof enough of their confidence.

    It’s weird at&t is in such poor technical shape that they can’t control a single ip address, and then just use that. This was an organization that sustained five mines of uptime for decades. Crazy to see a fallen (or broken up) titan st

    There is room for both. Code review of high quality code is enlightening. Some percentage should be blind. It’s a classic exploration vs exploitation trade off of your time.

    Much like "computers" used to be rooms full of people doing calculations, "AI" is here, and it's large organizations running on people. It has been with us probably since the dawn of agriculture.
