Surely this is just normal for a big country. USA, China, Brazil, Indonesia, Russia. There are some outliers - Germany, Japan, France, but they're stagnant with falling populations as people want to leave them. There are also some smal

Its interesting that he mentions short job tenures. I always thought it was weird how common job hopping is in the Bay Area, I thought job-hopping employees was perhaps a good thing rather than a problem. It does mean its easier to build a

To me that isn't an improvement. It may be "statically typed", but it isn't clearly typed, the first set is not slow to enter or read and is 100x clearer. To me var is only useful for writing generic lambdas & simila

You might want to look at other corporates esp banks. There are usually lots of people moving from London to NY and back again.

Creating a startup is very tough, If you have a great job I'd be careful. If you can I'd try to do something small as a side project first and see how much money you can make. A lot of people here are good coders but have no clue

Big banks a such an easy target these days. Everyone in hates them and politicians love that because they can extract big fines. win-win-win. Until all the banks go under at least - US banks are mostly solvent still, European ones look like

Did the fake shipping code have a destination as your house? I'd expect they'd be able to check that.

Its kinda interesting to see the related articles on the same site: about how many of the smartest scientists are more successful doing other stuff (like finance). https://www.nature.com/news/life-outside-the-lab-the-on

Agreed its usually quantity over quality. California is perhaps freshest and tasiest in the nation, with the healthier lifestyles, local farms and Mexican influence. You should try the midwest.

abebooks (part of amazon) sells a lot of international editions. https://www.abebooks.com/books/Textbooks/international-editi... It makes sense to sell the same book at lower prices in parts of the world where the

I bought a second hand Xeon E3-1246 v3 (8 VCPU), 16GB memory for $250 on ebay. That's less than it costs to rent an a1.xlarge for 6 months. Hardware is so cheap now, esp with SSDs and memory getting cheaper. Don't automatically re

Thanks for the replies on this. I was really thinking of my friends and family, I think I know most of what people have had, including abortions, mental illness, cancer etc. I can now see how others can have serious problems with abuse, har

You're right, it also highlights another of the problems, the new insects cause more problems than the old ones they're replacing. Seems we lose stable populations of friendly insects we're familiar with, and replace them wit

BTW does anyone have a good guide, book, tutorial on doing code reviews? Everywhere I've been its kinda adhoc with no rules or guidelines. Often code reviews come in after someone has put a few weeks of work into something and its too

I'm not clear on why medical records are so sensitive. I can understand some people might want to hide HIV status - but is there anything else? In the US people have wanted to hide prior conditions from insurance companies, but I would

Honestly I hate these self-absorbed, live-is-tough posts by Software Developers doing creative work in a nice air conditioned office. Get a real job, try milking a few hundred cows at 6am, work as a cop in a bad city, or outside in construc

Its amazing to me how many shops I walk past are completely empty these days. I don't know how they can afford to keep the lights on, let alone stock the place. I myself swore I'd never buy clothes and shoes online, but have start

Presumably this is to pay for all the points people get by using cards, not to mention the sign up promotions. I like how in Europe and Australia interchange fees are capped. Even if it means they live without such bountiful premium cards.

> You'd have to rebuild EVERY SINGLE THING on the system to build with that new kernel like containers? surely this is the same thing as you suggest, and is a good solution.

I was going to agree because I thought you said 1-2 hours/week. There is no way most parents have 1-2 hours free time every day.

Its a sad day for NYC I think. The only exception to that is Queens, I agree its not great to put a corporate office there, it should have gone to Manhattan like every other big office building.

Reminds me of when I did an accountancy course and the instructor was talking about engineers being blue collar job as it was very practical and you could work without being a member of an official professional society. Kinda true.

Me too. I spent years complaining about databases and all the structure and rules and inflexibility. It was initially great to go to NoSQL backends where suddenly you're free. Now I really miss them :(
