What? Economic liberalism is about the free market, private property, reduced regulation, etc. etc. Which are traditionally the pro-business republican positions that one of the above commentators mentioned as leaving the republican party

Just because the US Democratic party is associated with economic liberalism doesnt mean it isnt right-wing.

So I've been messing with Fn + Clojure + Graal Native Image and I'm seeing cold start times around 300-400ms and hot runs around 10-30ms. TLS adds something like 100-150ms on top of that. I was excited about seeing improved docke

the noodles are something like 10-12" long so you don't really end up with tiny bits of spaghetti. It just makes it easier to cook in a smaller pot.

I guess I've never tried doing it one noodle at a time or something, cause breaking a bunch of them at once results in them broken in two. Maybe they prevent each other from snapping back enough to break again?

Not all bad ideas are so easily brushed off as being "totally laughable". For example a common and particularly insidious one that gets a lot of "logical" people who think of themselves as good critical thinkers is tyin

honestly i was so skeptical of discord at the beginning because as someone who was a regular vent user it really struck me as a niche thing. But they've done a great job to branch into non-gaming communities to get enormous growth. I

8 years is a long time though, and could potentially be more than one company.

rationals might be a better solution since they could use whatever divisor they want without throwing away precision. I'm not very familiar with MS apis but if they provide some facility for telling you how many 'ticks' ther

Pretty good...Do you get less points if you take longer? I didnt really quite get how the points work. Maybe indicate that visually if that's the case. Another thing is sometimes the clips start in a breakdown and unless you're f

I don't know about that. Lots of people go to therapists and just talk about mundane stuff too just because they feel more comfortable having a "clinical" conversation about whatever's on their mind (as in someone who i

I made the same assumption but I think maybe they meant higher end of typical six-figure salaries, as in ~$180-200k. 900k for an individual contributor who isnt a very very particular addition to a team seems a bit high...

Sure, but i found - as you mentioned - groceries, including conversion to USD, to be more expensive in Toronto than LA. Eating out was definitely cheaper. Rent, for an equivalent place in Toronto is, I think, slightly cheaper, but probabl

Sure but Toronto is expensive and they pay isn't very good considering. If it were people lamenting only being paid $300k instead of $400k then we could be like "it's just money!" but I heard when I was there a few mont

> offering the upper end of the six-figure range for an individual contributor with exceptional skills how does one find companies with this sort of pay scale? (edit: maybe I misunderstood what you meant by "upper end")

I agree with you. Apple, while being an enormous company, will likely be unseated if (or perhaps when) the iPhone ceases being as popular as it is. Google, Facebook, Amazon (maybe to a lesser extent, maybe not) seem to have become more lik

I honestly don't remember, we're talking like 15 years ago or so. If he was using gameboys around that time it's certainly possible, there couldn't have been too many people doing it.

When I was in my early 20's (in the early 2000's) I did a lot of DJing at raves, one thing that really stuck with me was one night the 'DJ' after me had a toolbox. He plugged it in to the mixing board and opened it up a

Because they can make $24 million by selling some rich people citizenship. Normal plebes like us have to go the usual route of getting a job, getting permanent residency after a few years, and then applying for citizenship.
