   I'm not sure what you are saying corresponds with reality..

   I'm pretty sure that ember had an internal object called Ember.State at one point and another called Ember.StateManager to (naturally) manage the relationships between states. This was a few years back so I can't say what's h

   I almost don't want to say this because I'd hate to discourage anyone from going back to school, but school isn't necessary or sufficient for having or gaining an education. Nowadays especially.

   Having actual tangible wealth is not necessary. One can opt to join the army and fund college via the GI Bill, for instance. And generally, opportunity cost tends not to be super high when you don't have skills or an education.

   I'm not exactly sure it's possible to describe killing processes much differently.. I mean the Linux command to kill a process is 'kill'..

   Ah, I hadn't considered that. Still, not sure if I buy that the term 'pact' automatically has a negative connotation due that one usage..

   Why would this be insensitive? 'Pact' just means a formal agreement.

   If you're not hellbent on Java, I'd give Rails Tutorial a try by Michael Hartl. It gets one up and running fairly quickly, end-to-end, without the complications of learning an IDE.

    They actually had a successful 1km test.

    It's not like they give you 100k RSUs automatically each year, but I think the math tends to average out so that that is basically what is happening. For instance you may get 100k-150k initial allotment and suppose you get promoted in

    I think he was non-ironically referencing mchurch to rebut some of his claims..

    From my understanding, they don't really recalibrate pay scales at the bigcos based on location.. but this is purely anecdotal evidence.

    I think people are actually really out of touch with bigco pay scales. 250k is pretty easily achievable in a bigco. At Facebook you'll hit 250k+ in total comp at level 5, at LinkedIn you'll hit 250k+ in total comp at Staff level.

    My personal observations (at a bigco) suggest that it's not super unusual to have 200k-250k total comp at a bigco after a few years.

    I don't think the commenter is saying that climate scientists should rephrase their findings using risk & mitigation models.. at least not the way I understand that comment.

    Yeah but someone can still get between cloudflare and github pages since the traffic between the two end points would still be unencrypted and thus open to MITM..

    I would personally try to be nicer to said individual and at the same time not really worry about it. Life. Sometimes people won't like you.

    'Self-taught' isn't exactly a drop in replacement for 'autodidact'. You'd have to say 'self-taught person' or something, which is more awkward as a phrase.

    I have an exceptional deal on my 2 bedroom in Mountain View which costs me around 2400/month. I believe the current market rate for my apartment is something like 3300. If you're willing to live a bit further out (like Milpitas&#x

    Did you accidentally flip the second part of your analogy? It doesn't really make sense to me as stated..

    Thanks for the link! I love Ted Chiang but I hadn't come across that one, it was a terrific read!

    I concur. And it seems to me that the feedback mechanism is destroying SF.

    You know, it's quite possible to treat adults as independent agents who are responsible for their own actions and yet acknowledge (and possibly even be sympathetic to) the fact that these same adults can be subject to external forces w
