A 1 week take home project doesn't give experience, doesn't test how well the student works with others, doesn't showcase communication skills, etc. There is a LOT more to development than coding

I think a ton of reasonable people would do that. Getting a job as a developer is reasonably difficult without connections or experience in the field. Many of us have degrees or years of being a geek before we get our first job. I think tha

That's a 1080p display and only $200 difference... still very comparable value propositions IMO.

Given the build quality, screen, performance, and battery life- Apple isn't really premium pricing anymore. The Dell XPS 13 starts at 999, the Lenovo X1 carbon starts at 949- at equivalent pricing- and the new Air outperforms both of t

I never understood terminal file managers... If I want to find a file, I use find or fzf. If I want to list files in a directory, I can use tree or ls. If I want to move files around, cp and mv work great. If I want something more rich or d

which is still a pain in the butt because you have to own, find, backup, and completely wipe a thumb drive to do it. Or you have go to the store because who uses thumb drives anymore?

IBM has nearly all of it's developers on Mac at this point. I came from using exclusively linux for 10+ years and have decided to switch my personal machine to a Mac and my phone to an iPhone because it's been so good. Mac has eve

I use it for exactly what I've always used function keys for- brightness and volume. I also occasionally use the emoji picker or app specific stuff. For example- my markdown editor has Touchbar selections for code blocks and all that s

If you spent an hour at the gym every work day you would be in phenomenal shape- I absolutely do not agree that this is a harmful idea.

There's only a handful of states that actually matter in an election. Do we have these numbers for Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania?

We use Tekton where I work- which is really great in a K8s context.

Seems like a sane way to polarize people and build the perception that BLM is a partisan political movement more than a social one.

She showed a graph of 'hope for success' versus 'predicted probability for promotion'- it's just outright silly to attempt to represent something as complicated as this on two axises. Any attempt to quantify somethi

Display + restrictions on internals/construction due to size constraints will make up a large part of that cost as well. I'd imagine that the chip itself is a pretty small percentage of the price of an Apple Watch.

Experience with their tech stack is a good start :) I used kubernetes for my home server in college- it's a terrible idea and added unnecessary complexity for my use case, but my experience there got me a job where it solves more probl

Why not explore the possibility that police departments who are more likely to be shot at are both more likely to shoot somebody and also more likely to take 1033 funding? This seems like a pretty obvious possibility to consider.

Centralized industry also makes it much easier to enforce regulations which control disease, and it justifies expensive research on things like pest and research prevention that wouldn't be economically feasible to generate returns on

I think you're confusing multiple separate issues here. Efficiency in production and total amount of production are separate concerns. You don't aim to lower total production numbers by decreasing the efficiency of production. It

You ever heard of economies of scale? Big businesses are inherently more efficient in many industries because of this. A good example as it relates to farming is the ability to use larger pieces of heavy equipment across more land- rather t

I'm hearing an argument here that charitable giving is somehow inferior to taxation- or that amicably receiving charity is somehow less dignified than asking the government to take it for you through force. That's really what I&#x

I think the best parts of society come from collaborative and social effort- where people agree to share resources in pursuit of a common goal. I don't think the entire point of society is to force people to participate in your choice

The government deciding who lives and dies, however, is fine and OK?

It's better to force somebody to give you what you want, than to agreeably do so?

I don't understand why people have so many issues with charity... you want the government to forcibly take money from the rich and give it to the poor- but when they do that organically- it's somehow worse?

Just did some research, and you're right! TLS obscures the URL by default. I didn't know that. Only nuance being that an attacker can draw conclusions about the length of the URL- which won't be very helpful on Github.

Maybe in the west that'd be true- since we can freely trade information over the public internet, TOR doesn't have much utility. Let's say you're in a more totalitarian government that censors more information- TOR might

The state could easily track who accesses that GitHub page, if they control the ISP.
