In one instance I watched the craft at low altitude go around several buildings in a way that it would have been literally impossible to draw a straight line to ANY point without going through one of the buildings. That's the only inst

Pfft, they are late. My neighborhood is full of obnoxious drones flying around apartment buildings with no operators in sight and no one will do anything about it, so they may as well have a waiver!

> I even think we could be better without classes Absolutely. Classes are also a big part of why there's still a lot of bikeshedding for some new features (class properties, decorators, private fields, etc). Classes are familiar to

there will always be something to do because once software A is so easy to use anyone can do it, you can jump to support software B that isn't there yet. But if you poured resources in A with the hope of making supporting A your bread

It always baffles me how many units in big cities are on Airbnb. Virtually every lease I've signed had clauses about subletting, with precedents on those clauses being enforced. Virtually every condo building have bylaws against short

Canadian actually. And the "hard exam" was just which type of math I graduated highschool with and it only decided if I could go in engineering or had to settle for something else. The people working at McDonald are doing it part

Yup. Which is partly because of near infinite free money that no one is really responsible for. Hindsight is 20/20, and not being American I don't have the whole history...but what I'm picturing with this situation is: "

> Instead, pick things that are either tiny or decoupled from the release process Totally agree. What I've seen work is when engineering managers work on non-critical (but high impact) improvements, on initial prototypes (so that th

Lots of anecdotes here...I'll add more. I worked primarily in 2 type of companies as far as this topic goes. The first (and in my sample, more common) kind was engineering managers as pure managers. You had tech leads which were really

Something Ive never understood (not in the sense of I dont agree. What I really mean is I'm uneducated on the topic and would like to find out more, but my searches returned little, since it's a pretty heated topic), is why the co

The last part is definitely the right point to make. To me there's no argument that taken in a vacuum, there is no country in the world where you'll be better off as a software developer than in one of the big tech centers in the

> 80k$-140k$ Thats the problem. You used the dollar symbol, but even if its euros, the upper range you gave is 160k. That's way, way too low for an upper range if someone's thinking of salaries on one of the US' coasts (es

It's downright barbaric. You have a service for which you basically can't get a quote, can be collected into oblivion if you don't pay, you don't even know WHO will bill you (or even how many bills you'll get!), and

For better or worse, a lot of people can distance themselves from what the company does. I used to work as a software engineer for one of the largest banks in the world...The department I worked in had exactly zero to do with money, I never

Proper public transit, especially subways, are really the answer to everything... "Can't find jobs!". Well, often it's more "Can't get to the jobs you could do". Public transit! "Need to do more for d

Yeah, we definitely care about this more for our external apps than internal ones, but as we grow and our internal users expect more and more sophistication from our internal tool, it's becoming a bigger priority. It really does matter

300kb is half a second to load for someone with a 5mb connection (which is still quite common in a lot of the world...and even in parts of the US). It's also a LOT of crap to parse on a lower end computer. Repeat with a few libraries,

Bingo. This was the root cause of the current problems. The area wanted the big lucrative jobs, but not the effect of the rich people it will create. There's not a whole lot of solutions to that.

while it would be great to have a standard way to do absolute imports, I almost like how it force people into more sensible project structures and splitting large projects into multiple packages. The "smell" of the ../..&#x2F

This is awesome. I didn't read the full proposal yet, but at first glance it's very close to how we do things where I work (because we needed something long before Node even existed, and never replaced it). The biggest hurdle we c

For all the flack Java gets, it got something right on this topic imo. Take the lowest common denominator of language features (for a time), and have the solution to almost everything be code written with those very, very few constructs. Ye

> Also decorators are only for classes? Why does that make any sense? The generally thought is that you technically only need them for classes (and really, only for class members and properties). For anything else you can just use a high

Ding ding, we have a winner. A lot of languages support custom operators, but some really abuse the hell out of them. Googling for <%-/\-%> is very difficult.

There's a lot of missing knowledge for someone to make the decision that way. Eg: most people, even upper middle class, often don't know basic investing. I certainly didn't until my mid 30s. If I had known even as much as how

It doesn't have to be a significant portion...just a visible one. Think of all the people who work in tech or other high paying professions and own places in NYC, Boston, SF, etc. A lot of them don't have kids, or have at most 1,
