And the top 1% earn 2x as much of the income as they did 50 years ago, but don't pay 2x more of the share of income tax. Meaning that income tax is less progressive now. Also the 38% number that right wing groups like to throw around i

Income taxes are much less progressive than they were half a century ago.

Almost everyone I know has some kind of side hustle. Whether it's a job, a business, a serious hobby whatever. And unless you hire a 22 year old with zero responsibilities, you're never going to get 100% from anyone. It's abs

The federal government directly issues loans now, and they won't give you $250k in student loans. The private lenders who will don't have government backing. So if they give someone $250k for a basketweaving degree, they are unlik

In our current society it's certainly not normal for an adult to be climbing around on a playground alone. And it's not insane for a parent to approach such a situation with caution. And regardless of whether you agree with the OP

In most cities in the US, decent housing near public transpiration that is big enough for a family is expensive enough that it's not really a viable option for most people. Beyond that most cities in the US only have a few areas that a

It's a lot easier to learn complex math and CS topics with a guide than with other people at the same level. There's a reason study groups often end up in the math lab asking for guidance.

I worked for almost a decade before going back, and I had the same experience. As for debt, there's no need for crippling debt though if you go to a state school and are planning on working as a programmer.

There's a huge difference in degree between the ability to keep up to date in CS once you have a foundation and building that foundation from scratch. I worked for years as a programmer before going back for a degree, and I've hir

I don't think that's really common though. We thought the playground was for little kids even though there was plenty of challenging terrain for us at the time.

If you really are doing hard realtime--absolutely no dropped frames, hard limit of 11ms per frame every time. Then you basically have to program in a way that completely avoids GC. Or use an incremental GC that you run when you have time. S

I was a kid when we still had dangerous steel playgrounds and by the time I was in 5th grade, it wasn't cool to play on the playground. Middle schools never had them as far as I know. So around 10 seems to have always been the max age

by learc83 7y ago
That's all true. But at some point if you really need to avoid GC, you end up writing in a subset of C# that is so limited, it's really just C. Most people don't have those kinds of performance considerations. I use C# for so

Plenty of people, myself included, write games in C#. But it's soft realtime so occasional frame drops aren't a huge deal. And we are constantly doing our own manual memory management with things like object pooling to avoid the G

I write games in C#, but I've worked in embedded systems. The thing is most methods for avoiding GC are just round about ways of doing manual memory management. And games are soft realtime, so a dropped frame every now and then is gene

For the vast majority of realtime tasks accuracy of a few tens of nanoseconds is fine, but random 50ms delays for GC aren't.

Embedded systems often have real time constraints that don't mix well with most garbage collectors. That being said, there are plenty hobby (and commercial) projects where .NET is perfect.

Housing prices (both buying and renting) are rising faster than inflation or wage growth and occupancy rates are high. That means demand is outstripping supply. We aren't adding housing fast enough to keep up with demand. And Atlanta a

Then you can't use those places to generalize Atlanta. The fact is Atlanta isn't adding housing fast enough to keep up with demand. That is the same problem San Fransisco has. It's just not nearly as bad. >If you own a hou
