There really isn't. In a negotiation knowing the price paid for a product previously, or in this case a person, is a distinct advantage to the person paying. And will do nothing else but perpetuate low pay for underpaid people. Think

Really? What about the checkpoints that are set up within this zone stopping and questioning people without reasonable suspicion or knowledge that person crossed the border at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ea_VMY0UnA

There are a lack of resources out there for things like this. Especially with functional programming. This is very well done explaining the fundamentals of FP along with having people actually write code that ends up showing them something.

Yes, that is what I consider when I get my car washed for $10. I could do it myself, but my time is worth more. It is also why we moved from COLOs to the cloud. When a service is 10x your entire AWS bill the metrics of "Is my time wort

I live in NY and have lived here my entire life. I am very pro union but not pro NYC construction unions. If you have ever been on a job site, there are arcane rules that pad their pockets. Want to plug in a computer in a finished room? Sor

Not really. By the end of the year with their schedule Chrome 64 will be out with 9 month validity. Then who knows after that. So it is at the most 18 months.

I really cannot believe anyone actually though that Google was serious about bringing fiber to a huge area. They cherry picked cheap and easy areas to install. Their purpose was to light a fire under the existing telcos in order to protect

It was always everything/nothing. Because back then websites usually had some kind of purpose or category which usually was reflected in the domain name as well. But then sites like Stile Project and others mentioned there came out jus

I bought a shotgun to shoot clay, and then I was given another shotgun that was 70 years old from someone who was cleaning out a relative's house that just died. I now own 2 guns bringing the guns per capita in my household to 1. Guns

I visited Fog Creek in NYC once and as you know Joel Spolsky is a very big advocate on giving devs a good work environment. However he is also a big advocate of hiring good people no matter where they live. They had a policy that they had t

Memory is indeed cheap but the problem is when you run Ruby web services you have every worker taking a minimum of ~400mb. This doesn't sound like much but then with micro-services and other APIs also using that much RAM per worker it

I believe this is not just a shift in spending behavior by age, but a product of people waiting longer to have children. Cooking a meal as a single person or couple is harder to justify vs a restaurant. When cooking it becomes more cost and

There is a difference from general noise of a city and having transient people coming in every few days. People that are on vacation might be up later, making noise later or worse there could be criminals coming in. Sure you may have a prob

Well that is unfortunate. The people of NYC should not have to live with many places in their own buildings operating as illegal hotels. Why should New Yorkers have to tolerate illegal hotels with arbitrary guests in such a densely packed c

If Airbnb had rules regarding non-share rentals that restricted repeated listings of them they wouldn't have this problem. Yes this law is slightly heavy-handed in that it blocks someone that goes on a trip from time to time from booki

It seems that the bulk of his complaint was not with the Surface, but with the unreliability of the whole tech stack. There are a whole myriad of communications systems set up and he said in his full comments that they often do not get the

We weren't free tier spammers either and we paid them a good amount of money for Mandrill. They changed their TOS to make it not possible to send out bulk mailings without using their managed and much more expensive MailChimp service.

I tried the Playstation VR. It was definitely cool and better than mobile VR solutions but motion sickness is a big problem. I played a really intense space fighter game, and I had a headache for a while after. I am not especially susceptib

Palantir likes to promote these minimal links to the CIA quietly to increase the feeling that they give to their "forward deployed engineers" that they are some Seal Team 6 of developers. Their office in the Meatpacking district o

I think OP has made a mistake calling it a framework as it is not a framework, it is a library. People have added more libraries to it. On the contrary, yes Angular is a bonafide kitchen sink framework missing the major advantage of a frame

The problem with "by hand" is now the dependencies or environment needed for that app to run are only in the brain of the person with that hand, or documented in a separate document that is prone to being out of date. With a build

I am not sure if I agree with the floppy being abandoned at the right time. This was at a time where the cloud would be emailing something to yourself, no USB drives, and CD writers that were expensive, and burnt a coaster half the time. Al
