Supply and demand, baby! If a company really likes you, they can always scale up your pay even if you are in a low cost of living place. As a remote engineer in the Midwest, I still make over double what local rates are, despite the remote

I am not really actively teaching them, but I am providing some resources like books. My older son (8) enjoys playing around with Scratch. I think it's great and at this age it's just good to experiment.

I would focus on nutrition and exercise: - hire a chef or use meal service. I know of a few companies locally which deliver premade chicken, beef, etc in all different styles. This beats takeout! - hire a personal trainer at a gym. You prob

I would be very careful doing that at Google. Even if just about anything is accessible, I imagine most access is logged. If you are downloading everything not related to your job it could raise some alarms!

Try asking him if he has heard of the goatse coin. Or maybe tubgirl coin. After googling that he'll probably not bring it up again!

I love this idea! I think this would be a fun idea, except 1) not sure how it would handle pictures, and 2) there are probably some texts which should not be published! Also - noto emoji is great. It is also nice to use for 3d printing&#x2F

I'm not sure if he's joking or serious! In any case sorry this has to be said but no don't give drugs to kids please.

I don't totally agree. As you ask it more specialized and high level questions that may be true, but for beginner level stuff AI is very helpful since there is quite a lot it is based on.

Yup this is a great point. I've seen plenty of kids (well, former kids) from my peer group who had strict screen time limits and are now the biggest social media users I know. Maybe they could have used a little more exposure earlier?

I find it helpful to try and intentionally break the code under test. Sometimes the test still passes, and that is a good sign that something is very wrong!

Interesting... But that isn't exactly true! Centuries that are not divisible by 4 don't count!

Yes, exactly like how a sewing machine helped replace sewers. One person can do the job of 2.

That works… sometimes. Just doing a quick search in the Rust book, 0 results for “rustlang”, 30+ results for “rust”.

I appreciate that zig is an easily searchable name for a programming language. You’d think after Java and python that’d we’d have better options, but no! Now there is Go, Rust, etc etc

by roland35 3y ago
Every month would be the same number of days! Every week day would be the same date every year! And you can have a "year day (or 2 on leap years) at the end to round the calendar out to 365 days. It makes too much sense, that's wh

There comes a point where you are optimizing finances beyond what is necessary, in my opinion. Have a decent plan for your cash so it's earning good interest, then go out and focus your time on the rest of life. Automate as much as pos

From the reddit conversation it seems like people are attributing it to heat. If that's the case I'm not surprised! The glass may look nice and help everyone see your creepy eyes but plastic is much more practical. The ifixit arti

I use LazyVim (neovim) and VS Code for Python work. Pyright and Ruff work well with Neovim, and Pylance works only with VS Code (but you need to enable it, if I remember correctly!) My only issue is I occasionally need to restart Pyright wh

Eh it's either Python or C++ with ROS, and Python is much easier to work with. Adding type checks to method arguments isn't much different than doing it in Rust, and makes life much easier with anything larger a tiny program. If t

Senior engineer is a "terminal" position at most companies, and certainly is not a bad spot. Only around 15-18% of engineers were above that at my last big tech company if I remember correctly. Senior is the last IC level where yo

I assume you mean carpentry, as installing carpet seems like a rough career, especially on the knees! But even carpentry is hard on the body. Endless sawdust in your lungs, nonstop splinters, and of course spinning blades everywhere. We are
