there are many reasons to be against a job guarantee but the presumption that every potential job nowadays requires a 7 year degree is a particularly bad one.

In 1934 people were trained on the job. This was as true in the WPA as it was outside. What changed is not the newfound impossibility of doing that, just the reluctance of employers to pay for it and the willingness of the government to ind

mating has historically almost always been a pretty hostile and unfair experience. That is why female ancestors outnumber male 2:1.

During the depression this was done with a job guarantee. Instead of paying people to sit on their ass they paid people to build stuff like the Lincoln tunnel, which was preferable for them (and even for us, we still use that stuff). UBI is

I think you might be proving mine actually. "Vices and virtues" are pretty much irrelevant to systems thinking but they are the bread and butter of tribalism.

Having systems thinking is a bit like being Cassandra: doomed to know the future yet doomed never to be believed. What's odd is that you'd think tribal thinkers would respond to a track record of being proven correct but they emph

one of the reasons I find it hard to leave a high paying job is because "underpaid" has always been the best predictor of job toxicity. In general (with a few exceptions like finance that are generally up front about what they are

these are usually worse, especially if IT is treated as a cost center and the SME is run by people with autocratic tendencies. half of the questions on /r/cscareerquestions are about how to deal with working in this type of compan

not sure i hold out much long term hope for them either. both of these companies can eventually make money in a way that isnt shady - just not enough money to satisfy their VCs.

the fact that there are 3 "hopefullys" in the paragraph that explains the strategy doesnt inspire much confidence. I dont think there is enough money in package registries to pay for all of the VC investment in astral.

unlike ruff, uv doesnt benefit that much from being written in rust. its main benefit is that it is well maintained and does everything you used to need a string of tools for before.

The definition is you write or amend a test before making the code change that makes it pass. That's it. It says nothing about the type of test you write. Personally i do it with literally every type of test that i write - acceptance,

TDD only really works if the test in some sense mirrors the specification. Sometimes people manage it in which case it resembles a mini superpower but mostly they do not. If it mirrors the spec then few people would change it to be wrong to

They created an environment to expose LLMs to problems and test their performance which were immune from benchmark hacking using puzzles. Your comment was about how this was unreasonably hard (for coding challenges). Anecdotally Ive seen LL

It is weirdly easy to create a language that expresses specifications that is more complex and difficult to understand than the code which implements it. E.g. Z notation.
