Similar to this, I'd recommend people check out Codewars, which has challenges that you then submit and get compared/graded against others' solutions. It's a real neat way to learn other ways of achieving some solution t

Been using Insomnia for a few months now, some things I really like: 1. Env switching. I believe this is available on other clients, but it feels very intuitive in insomnia. 2. The ease of using results from other calls and making method ch

Are you kidding me? $6k deductions is about $2k in rebates. A $150 accountant fee would take care of any paperwork. Taxes aren't that fucking hard.

Mortgage interest and property taxes are costs on top of the actual cost of the house. My mortgage itself isn't tax deductible.

Deus Vult is an expansion to the original Crusader Kings and predates the stupid meme by well over a decade. Any relation is one foisted upon later on.

PPA/CPA? There's a big industry built around letting others market for you based on results alone.

This is a good one. It never occurred to me the hoops one would have to jump through to hire someone in another country by the books.

That is also a defining game mechanic, which sets it apart from other games.

For what it's worth, this submission is a comparison of Phoenix -- a framework explicitly inspired by Rails and which has some core members who were/are Rails core members -- and Rails.

I think you're missing 5) Because it is hard to find a reliable 2nd job where the hours do not impinge on a 1st job, especially when low-wage/unskilled jobs tend to schedule in ways to make having a 2nd job difficult (e.g. not con

They've been trying it recently, there have been 3 other hosts (that I've seen) in the past 2 weeks. My own personal opinion is that they've only achieved at making Scott look better.

It occurs 2x a day and there are around 80k people who log on at those moments -- I don't feel this is an attempt at marketing.

I hope someone does this. I've been playing HQ for a few weeks, and it is deeply clear to me that their success has much to do with his hosting. When someone else fills in for him, it's sometimes painful to watch. Scott has some &

You have choice. I live in this little place that the Internet hardly knows called Berkeley, CA, home of one of the original 4 IMPs of the very first networked connection -- and my only choice above 20mbps is Comcast.

I read about these only in response to the situation a lot of engineers were in at Uber -- was this a thing prior?

The difference is that in most situations you can sell vested options on a secondary market, Uber made it a contractual requirement on vesting that they could not be sold on any secondary market (they could only be sold back to Uber for the

I remember reading about a nightmare scenario of earlier Uber employees having to give up hundreds of thousands (or possibly millions) of dollars because of how their options were taxed. It has since changed, I believe, but it used to be th
