You also must have not used marijuana within the last 3 years (even medically or if legal in your state), and no illegal drugs within 10 years. This lost a lot of applicants when they recruited at my college

That’s interesting. Shows the importance of discussing salary openly which is still pretty taboo in some regions. If this weren’t protected I have no doubt companies would use ad targeting tech to show different rates to people This almost

That’s true, and makes a weird incentive for advertisements. Ads revenue is apple-tax free

Knowing what you’re buying is hugely useful for improving ads. It provides a ton of information about you, better targeting, retargeting, ad attribution and efficiency metrics, etc

I think it is possible to do tracking responsibly. I don’t really see a problem with server-side anonymized tracking used to improve the product. (But yes, the blog author also talks about FB and Google pixel tracking, which is very differe

Yes, 1/3x + 1/3x = 2/6(x + x). Units are absolutely necessary, and 'fractions' don't make sense without them. '1/3' without units is not a 'fraction' but instead is 0.3333, a number on

He leans pretty authright. I don't think he would be very popular among most people here

Oops you're right - too late to edit it. It should say "neither Rust nor Go are supported for end-developers"

Yes, that is true. But those all will occur too (or so this theory says), you just happen to, right this instant, be a coherent one.

Is that true? Increasing a level in a few companies on https://www.levels.fyi/charts.html is a similar magnitude increase

This is getting off topic, but what would probably be best here is a test and set operation: setBalance(expectedBalance, newBalance)

I don’t see how this analogy holds. Gravitation is a physical effect, of course it can’t be produced by software; feelings are not.

This is an interesting idea! Although it may be tricky to know when something is 'run', but there are ways to solve that. A use case we found useful was: while working, I can ping my coworker and say "I'm having some deb

Hey sorry! What OS are you using?

Thank you for this! It is very true we need to focus on 1 or 2 key features. The real intent of 'pull up a chair' is to be able to discuss WIP code together and help decide and debug. Working next to my coworkers I often show them

Yeah, you could do this in '1 line of code' if you just made another wrapper.

I don’t know how “meaningful” it is, but one thing I did that I had a lot of fun programming was making a cheap home automation system. I used $6 RF outlets, a $2 RF transmitter, and connected it to my raspberry pi, and now I can turn on a

How is this a valid PoS blockchain at all? Its just one centralized node choosing the winner? What stops anyone from proposing a fake winner? How is consensus reached if there were multiple nodes choosing winners?
