If you book at least 2 weeks out and travel off-peak you can get the Amtrak trip for about $50. Otherwise it’s $70-100. Ignoring the costs, I find the quality of life on the train to be far superior. No traffic, you can walk around, there a

He was a jerk in 2007, he still is, but he was one then too. Heck, he was probably a jerk in 2003 too.

I agree that people tend to over-extend themselves financially, but is that a symptom or a cause? My take is this: There's no clear path to home ownership, so you put off having a family. Because you put off having a family you don&#x2

Your little diatribe has little to do with the article. Happiness is obviously a state of mind and any of us can be happy with any amount of income above abject poverty. That’s not the point. This isn’t a morality parable. The point is th

Yeah, definitely one of the doom mods. I'm not familiar enough with the history as I was pretty young when doom came out. Hacking on Doom and Marathon mods was my first experience with programming of any sort.

The leveling and statistical stuff is so lame anyway. I feel like CS and TF, the point was to dick around and shoot people. It was cool because you bought half-life and could play these two totally different games (we referred to them as “t

Even if this were the case, luckily no one really talks on their mobile phones anymore, it's predominantly FaceTime and candy crush. I would also be interested to know if the tumors are predominantly on the right side of the head near

Running slower than it is supposed to or broken down frequently. So, the trains still come every 3-5 minutes, but it takes (for example) twice as long to get there sometimes (track problems causing them to run trains slower than normal, or

I mean, wouldn’t it be better to say the startup fantasy might make you happier? It also might make you miserable, I’ve seen both and I’ve been both in the same situation within the same day or week. We spend a lot of our lives holding out

Arguably, students are a great investment, just not for money.

A recursive descent parser to convert between A and B is trivial. But there are implementation details of functions vs code writing macros that are important. This is not about syntax at all.

Both of these examples would require implementation of a regex engine to provide the same set of functionality. You’ve just given the syntactic sugar next to the ast parse, parsing a regex into an ast representation is fairly easy and can b

Yes, it is a societal force, not something that you can change with an HR policy. In fact it is a law in most western democracies that you don't discriminate against women and minorities. This doesn't mean that those people aren&#

In that case I agree, the initial hypothetical is wrong because it isn't about same job/position pay, it is about likelihood to get promoted to a higher paying position. It is about women being stuck in the same position, while me

by ohyes 9y ago
Your statement indicates you don’t understand the issue; women make less money than men overall. It’s not about same job pay (4% difference there), it’s about the glass ceiling. Women are less likely to get promoted to higher paying positio

“Lies, damn lies and benchmarks” I think is the saying. Python itself is a slow language but it has a lot of fast packages, so it shows poorly when you actually write your benchmark in python. Haskell is a faster language but because it is

Eh, Uber is driving taxi companies out of business with billions of dollars in VC money. Offering a dramatic discount in a unsustainable way to ruin your competition is anti-competitive and pretty unethical. In NYC 88,000 is a livable wage.

That’s how I meant it, that the advantage of microservices is bite size pieces of work, so 10 people on the same service sounds like they’d step on each other’s toes. I run a bunch of services but they’re each debugged enough to be fairly l

That’s valid, there are times I wish we had some bench depth.

It’s not snark, it’s also not any argument. It’s genuine incredulity. I seriously cannot imagine the situation where 10 people work on the same minimal function piece of code.

Draw a box around it. Given a large enough domain any solution will have certain flaws. If the domain is large enough without encountering the flaws, the solution is still useful. If you can enumerate the flaws, you can note them and come u

Jesus, 10 people on a team? What are you doing that you need 10 people to work on it? I manage like 8 services by myself.

Indeed, I would personally prefer to live in the world where our leaders are idealists trying to make the world a better place rather than war-profiteers.

9/11 (an incident of mass murder) caused the US to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, surely that sold enough guided missiles, attack helicopters and radar systems to make the quarterlies for a few years. It also sold a ton of those bomb sea

Teaching what, exactly? I don’t see why anyone would need a specific “teaching language,” in the first place. You don’t teach a language, you teach concepts. You teach about variables and call-stacks, function calls, how the hardware works,
