It's like playing an MMORPG-style videogame where the developers keep raising the level cap. The higher the cap, the worse off people who are just starting are (and why in those games developers keep having to provide a "catch up

npm link almost feels like a troll attempt. Running 2 packages locally together is one of the most basic features I can think of, and it works so poorly.

Thats why we never replaced our homegrown, predates-npm package manager. It feels crazy to be maintaining our own when there's such a popular 3rd party one out there, but honestly...it really sucks. Migrating nearly a decade worth of c

Double worse because being diagnosed for a lot of these issues is just a matter of telling your doctor you're feeling a little down and crying a bit more than you think you should. All of a sudden you're diagnosed with whatever (w

Studios, or with multiple minimum wage salaries? Or a lower end one bedroom home (turns out there's a range). Other options include overtime or getting multiple jobs. And while it shouldn't be an option, unreported tips and under

by shados 7y ago
Yeah this is a bit confusing. If minimum wage was enough to afford a 2 bedroom, why would we even bother building 1 bedroom and studios? So people who could otherwise afford 2 BR downgrade?

Also not OP, but... Getting things to be accessible (in practice: not just what some tool spits out in a report, but making the app/site useful to a real user with disabilities using a real browser of some sort) is not that bad as long

Yup absolutely. My dinky shitty rent controlled poor neighborhood apartment in Canada was better built (by a LOT) than my expensive new construction in the US. Im so sick of being involved in all my neighbors private conversations.

Just the typical music events (not the small solo musicians but when there is an actual show) they hold every now and then, or when the flea market gets pretty crazy can definitely make it hard to watch TV even with windows closed in my exp

When talking about NIMBYs who block these initiatives, what everyone tells me is that they're rich affluent white majorities, so my post was very much about how to handle those. No one ever talks about ethnic to minorities pushing back

I mean, just the noise from the events in Davis Square can be heard from half a mile away, so most decibel meters would flag that as "pretty loud".

by shados 7y ago
It will depend on what you're used to, but AFAIK, virtually every city in the US has a noise complain/non-emergency police number/311/whatever where these type of complains are some of the most reported issues.

The order of: announce train station, wait a bit, start building project and change zoning (with that "wait a bit" gap being critical) makes things work a lot better. Property value skyrockets for a while, and people who arent hap

Not wrong. If we take tobacco laws, with the cancer side effects, frequently going "omg don't expose the children to it!". Really, the reason people pushed to ban smoking is because its fucking annoying and little more. &quot

Yup. College is often an apprenticeship too (just super expensive) anyway, with how common co-op programs are (which are basically just apprenticeships)

by shados 7y ago
The amount of time you hear "I dont use anything I learnt in college, its all about experience on the job!" definitely screams "we need to encourage apprenticeship-type learning over college".

There is definitely survivor bias, you're completely right. At the same time, I know for a fact that if I had my name at the top of the list of a well known open source project, I could tack an extra 50k/year to how much I ask for

All the problems :) We have a lot of products falling under the same umbrella. But keep in mind a lot of these are small (a few thousand lines of code), and that includes internal apps (built on the same stack).

The button was the example of something that is okay to share because its not business logic.

Thats kind of like saying we shouldn't have tests and type systems because people should just learn to code properly.
