Lie with dogs, get fleas. Joey Gibson has repeatedly embraced some truly horrible people in Portland, and claims ignorance when he is met with fury. He's a provocateur and knows exactly what he is doing. For example, Allen Pucket, a f

Yes - assuming the underlying request uses a GET verb, you can avoid a trip to the server altogether if your cache headers were set aggressively enough on the response to the initial request.

Yes yes, #notalltechies - but as stated above, best thing you can do is to take your wildly disproportionate capacity for earning, do the due diligence and find a group worth sponsoring. edit: Let me explain why donations like these are p

Sorry to hear about your experience, but you make a very salient point and I also agree that you made an enlightened (if hard earned) decision regarding the best thing you could do for your children. In my experience there are thousands of

The premise that NGOs need tech more than they need money is shaky at best.

NGOs are not simply biding their time waiting for the next Tech Messiah to come along and save the world. Their tech problems are terribly boring and mundane. We deal with this all the time. Well meaning techie comes along with a bunch of

Yep - that's been our experience with hackathons as well :( "Oh goody, a bunch of half-finished abandonware ..."

You throw money at people who have the domain knowledge and are actively solving the problems.

That is an exercise left to the reader. Find groups that interest you and are effective in their mission. Ask how you can help and follow through with your commitments. Be humble and aware that initially you will be taking not giving

Go ask the people doing the work - not the folks looking to enrich themselves by "disrupting" (read: injecting software into) every industry imaginable. I mean this is Y-Combinator after all, not exactly a hub of philanthropy.

People are going to shit on the parent comment - but honestly, anyone with more than a few years of experience in a tight tech job market is going to easily be in the top decile of earners. The highly-committed individuals that do the brut

This. We have had a horrible track record with tech volunteers, in part because our mission is not tech-centric, so they don't get any glory. It doesn't mean there isn't anything for them to do - it's just that the sto

Support the people already doing important work - get away from the egocentric "tech will save the world" attitude that is so endemic to our industry. Just get involved and see where you can help.

It doesn't. Courts take hardship into account, but only retroactively. If you had a good job, then lost it, your required payments will not automatically be adjusted. You will need to petition the court for an adjustment - which app

Sounds good to me! No more federal student loans!

by nyargh 10y ago
As a private university with access to federal student loans, you get a firehose of financing, but aren't exposed to any downside from the defaults. Students and taxpayers are the bagholders, and you've already cashed the check.

by nyargh 10y ago
Nothing, if they also accept the downside risk of financing a crap education. The default rates for many private universities are astounding - and the taxpayer helps backstop them from losses via federal student loans.

One of the significant highlights of legalization/regulation is the regular testing of cannabis products, which typically includes their cannabinoid profiles. This helps the end user find the product that works best for their use.

Using the || (or ||=) operator when assigning a local variable from an argument is ruby idiom to specify a default.

by nyargh 11y ago
This is a pretty common ruby pattern to provide a default value if none was passed. I would consider this more of a "lorem ipsum" or crappy test fixture than a smoking gun.
