No, in the vast majority of cases it's a strawman or slippery slope argument.

Yes. So many libraries are engineered to solve everyone's problems, you can spend hours, or days, figuring out if it is engineered to solve your problem. It's like searching for a needle in a haystack you aren't sure has y

Not every "job" is a job. I would totally pay someone $0.01 per hour to clean my house each day.

People say this a lot, but I can't think of many projects that fit nicely into a single language. Most projects have certain pieces that are well suited for one language or another - so the game is usually finding which language best

I'm not claiming there isn't a problem, but these numbers seem odd to me. 75% of the square footage was built between 1900 and 1930. But only 40% of the buildings could not have been built today. Is it that new buildings are roug

I think this hits the nail on the head. I would say that more generally, a not insignificant number of OO design concepts were developed in an environment of coding modules meant to be used by other people (either in the form of frameworks

What percentage of home owners are people who have owned their house for a long time (to benefit from prop 13), need zero work done (unlikely if you've owned your house for a long time), and whose behavior can be reduced to a financial

That seems questionable. I haven't met a property owner that is a fan of permits.

I agree that it's a problem, but your distinction still seems generally pointless. If you have a company policy to not hire alcoholics and you reject 1,000 people based upon this metric then 65% would have been an alcoholic.

by sbov 10y ago
This distinction seems relevant only if you target one person, which seems pretty rare. In reality you're going to use this metric on a pool of people, in which case 65% of them would become an alcoholic in 5 years.

If you're willing to limit your search, at least in the US, HOAs in some cities are optional. E.g. when looking for houses in LA, no HOA was a soft requirement of mine. Every house built in the 80s or later seemed to have one, so we

You've got that backwards. There's all sorts of things that make absolutely no sense for business owners to do, so we have labor laws because business owners can't be trusted to not fuck everything up for society.

This just screams for these new TLD buyers to extort customers. Imagine if that happened with .com. Nice domain you have there, Facebook. What is facebook.com worth to you on a yearly basis?

You disagree with most things NIMBY because it is generally used as a pejorative. However, the basics of the term is pretty benign. E.g., people who are pro urban density tend to be NIMBY on things that expand car usage. Then they label a

From what I can tell the mainline Linux kernel has code developed by Oracle, so you don't trust any developers that ever rely on Linux?

I'm guessing you have done zero research as to whether Zenefits would have been violating similar regulatory law in any of those 10 other countries.

In the last housing bubble rents detached from housing prices pretty severely. Back in the 80s, it was generally cheaper to buy than rent - the 20% down saw to that. But things completely flipped with the more recent financial ingenuity.
859.
by sbov 10y ago
And just to clarify, it's 73% of the rental market. If you build new housing and it's all owner occupied, they won't budge that 73% number. It might not be a huge factor but it's something to keep in mind.

This is true for many, many things in the United States. The big category that comes to mind is cosmetics. I'm aware of at least one component - styrene - which has been linked to cancer and is commonly present in fragrances.

About 15 years ago, a friend almost got a DUI for riding his bike while drunk in the SF bay area - the cop was going to cite him if he couldn't get a friend to come pick him up.

I don't see how you can have a free market for public defenders until jurisdictions started suffering consequences due to overloading them. E.g. if convictions started being overturned because of the caseload of public defenders thing

It's not always that they don't care, it's also that the caseload can be insane - some public defenders being assigned upwards of 1,000 felony cases per year.

IMHO software engineering is more about how you go about your work rather than what you work on. You can be an absolutely brilliant developer working on complex software but still not be a software engineer, yet still work alongside and be
