That's rough. Of course some amount of thoughtfulness towards "smallest reasonable change" is valuable, but if you're not shipping then something is wrong. As for the "comments on every detail" thing... I would

Sure, but you are rational and see an opportunity to beat the market full of dumb, greedy men! I'm poking fun at the line of reasoning of course. Those who find the opportunities to invest 10 for 30 tend to win in a free market system.

If the increased productivity from wage increases offset the price, why would you need the price control in the first place? You could start a business and have a competitive edge by offering low-skilled workers relatively high wages.

I don't disagree. I brought it up specifically as a constructive criticism of the original McDonald's argument of choosing other restaurants. It's easier to illustrate economic concepts when only one parameter is changing (e.

Huh, perhaps Samsung should double Apple's prices. By your logic, that should make them wildly successful, no? A better example of quantity demanded paradoxically increasing with price is in the designer hand bag market. The value of l

by nosefurhairdo 2y ago
Correct. Generally in economics we discuss individual effects while holding other effects equal (ceteris paribus). To illustrate, if a McDonald's location can sell 1000 big macs a day at $2 per burger, do you expect they'll sell m

Your source agrees with me. I made no claim as to the significance, only the direction of the effect. Additionally, this research has historically yielded mixed results (likely due to the difficulty of isolating the effect of minimum wage i

It's remarkable we even need to say it out loud: increasing the price of labor reduces the quantity demanded of labor. Believing otherwise requires magical thinking.

Many people think overpopulation is a legitimate concern. I suspect the argument would be "who cares about social security if we kill the planet" (or something along those lines). Not my view, just suggesting who might believe the

The packages referenced in this article do not have known security vulnerabilities in the latest minor/patch versions of their previous majors. So the author is still complaining about an unnecessary update.

People can take you to court for anything; pip is good way to protect against claims of wrongful termination. I agree in principle that at-will should make this unnecessary, but the reality of a litigious society makes pips a good move.

This is a good point. I am fortunate to have a good manager who recognizes the unfair burden. I have missed a pagerduty notification before, which my manager dealt with. The incident did not appear to affect my subsequent performance review

Is the argument here that every software team should have engineers whose normal working hours have 24/7/365 coverage?

I've been the on call engineer on my team for 75+% of the last year (most of my team is contractors, new hire not onboarded to on call rotation yet, etc.). It's not an issue because we don't break prod. I also feel I'm w

Tl;dr: single page apps (react) are bad, perform badly, have bad tooling, and have a bad ecosystem. This is a tired critique which fails to mention even one reason why one might choose React (or other SPA framework) in the first place. I wo

Computer Use API has wild potential. Imagine agents that can navigate any website or application. Exciting times.

Yeah I was confused by this point as well. Especially because many of the recent Typescript releases are just improving performance or handling more cases (without needing to learn new syntax).

Tattoos can be extremely expensive; I personally know many people who struggle financially and spend what's left on tattoos. It sounds ridiculous, but so does blowing lots of money on sports betting.

The same argument could be made for alcohol, cigarettes, credit cards, luxury goods, lottery tickets, tattoos... If you banned everything that some percent of the population could use to harm themselves, you might be disappointed by what&#x

There are countless activities that could be deemed "not socially valuable". That is far too broad and subjective a metric to determine whether something should be banned.

I'm being critical of laws that allow governments to censor and invade privacy of their citizens. "If it's legal then it's okay" is a non-existent standard. By the same logic one would support stoning homosexuals to

React-dom/server APIs are great for this. Writing jsx (as opposed to template literals as in OP) is generally a nicer DX, and you can keep the setup fairly minimal.
