In a way it’s like how people call themselves “software engineers” instead of “programmer” even if that might be more fitting. You sound more competent when you say devops so you might be able to get a larger salary than a sysadmin.

This looks awesome for a personal/portfolio site. I use matomo for mine and it’s sort of overkill. You have to set up your own lamp/lemp stack just to get analytics and I use maybe 1% of the features.

If the devs use SSR and code splitting and whatnot loadtime isn't so bad. But yea these frameworks get abused because everyone wants to stay competitive and make a decent salary

For the second part, look at prediction markets like Augur.

I live in the Bay and even here physical protests aren’t taken very seriously, just kids trying to skip school and lonely elderly folks who are bored. The money’s too good, the tools will still be built and used protest or no.

Yea I’ve been on a few. Basically I felt that I got taken hostage (no key to the airbnb, no car rental budget, basically forced to stay with colleagues at all times). Meetings all day about company direction and architecture, then our norma

Am I the only one who thought retreats are just a method for the company to force employees to work unpaid OT, cause well, where are they gonna go? Everyone's in some far away destination disconnected from friends/family so you ma

Hah, I wrote one as well to prove it to myself in the chrome dev tools console const pickCar = (switchChoice) => { const doors = [0, 0, 0]; doors[(Math.random() * doors.length - 1) | 0] = 1 let pick = (Math.random() * doors.

What if you bought btc with cash from a stranger on localbitcoins and put it into an empty wallet. How would anyone link those btc back to you? Unless the localbitcoin guy is an FBI agent or something...

While I agree with you, it’s an extremely hard job for the reasons he stated. Low pay, dealing with nasty people, doing demeaning work. It’s not exactly a career most people choose.

Thanks, but I meant as a foreigner you are less likely to be murdered. It is in their best interest to keep tourists safe and happy.

Many people are smart enough not to be swayed by fear based news. You’re 100x more likely to die in a car accident on your commute tomorrow than by a cartel member in Mexico as a tourist.

It is very difficult to get a decent job for many people, perhaps they see it as an opportunity for such.

It’s more like status signaling in my experience. There is a social reason to do it

Then go to a regulated track and drive to your heart's content? I don't like the idea of people just 'clearing their heads' while driving a 2 ton box at 65 miles per hour.

It can actually be quite difficult to set up if you have a non standard configuration.

If there were actually vocational trade schools I would support this kind of thing. I know that in this context it just means the shittier school.

I don’t see the harm in the “influencers” asking. For some places it’s probably worth it to get the cheap promotion.

No just anecdotal, a bunch of people from my cohort work at google and friends now. Obviously the boot camps highlight these grads and it’s worth pointing out many had CS degrees

To counter this, I know dozens of people working as FAANG devs from app academy & hack reactor.

Perhaps they’d be able to make living wages by putting their barn on Airbnb. It will be just like that episode of the office.

As someone who is happy they went to college despite it not directly helping get my current job, I believe it was valuable in that it made me more open to new things, better at developing relationships, and exposed me to different points of

Those “morons” are moving there because there are more opportunities to earn money than in their hometown.

How can you call it unusable when it is clearly being used by thousands (millions?) of people? I would consider anyone who keeps track of some crypto in a wallet (on an exchange or not) to be part of the system, do you disagree?

In newtonian physics you learn that momentum is calculated as mass x velocity. Then in modern physics you learn that light has zero mass so you naively assume light has no momentum. Then later you learn that the original equation you learne

The saying goes bitcoins on an exchange aren't yours. All exchanges (that I know of) allow you to pull tokens into your private wallet, at which point they belong to you. It would be sort of foolish for the exchange to execute trades o
