Then why didn't they just approve and get it over with. Seems they want to wait a while, see how their stakeholders feel about it in a few months and then either approve or not. Or they want to send the message to ethos that they want

I'm pretty sure all of them worked pretty hard their entire lives. The possible exception being Neumann, who is just a lucky guy really. But yeah programming ain't glamorous. Get into some other profession if you have what it take

They are also owned by Mr Bezos, who also owns something called Amazon Prime Video. Looks like Netflix needs to buy it's own newspaper.

Although I like some Bach or similar while coding, I don't listen to music or even bring headphones anymore when at work as the temptation to listen to more distractive music is just too big. If it's too noisy at work I pull out p

You don't need any for python, really. You can run pdb in your :term split, which is nice. Other than that you only really get the vim advantage over IDE if you practice.

PHP and MySql Web Development and Real World Haskell are what you might consider formative for me.

I don't know whether we do increase in intelligence anymore there are problems that increase in the most intelligent populations that might put a limit on it. As to whether some part of intelligence can be accounted for with epigenetic

i think you're not wrong in the sense her living standard would be higher in a lot of ways in emerging economies. it does leave the question where the us should source its service workers from.

Yeah being software engineer in europe is not much fun. It can be worse than just 'not making as much as a bricklayer'. for instance, your house might not be a house, but an appartment in a run-down area of town, much like the McD

She's likely not too bright. Of course there's going to be problems with her decision making process. Can she be blamed for it? Not really, because intelligence is mostly genetic.

That's just one type of consulting. Perhaps a very important type but governments tend to hire them for far more mundane reasons as well: government workers at some places rarely (never) get fired so it's more efficient to hire a

Dutch universities have funding outside of ESA or Europe. A lot of it is determined at the national level. there have been more academic collaborations recently between the two countries. The article doesn't mention ESA so i think it&

All this talk of how everyone is cared for feels so cozy. I can understand the desire for tight knit community. Everybody working for the greater good of all. Everybody equal, why should anyone dream of more? No one left behind under leader

I don't doubt it. Hopefully the damage will be limited. Maybe better wages are possible when things get better. Not many people can sleep on a bus though. having two sleep deprived drivers might not be that much better than one.

The thing about the tacho is true. On my trip from NL to Austria all of us had to get out so the driver could take rest at some point. This particular regulation doesn't force bus companies to just double the labor cost, though.

Argentina's economy is going down the drain atm. Labor cost is a big factor in transportation so keeping two drivers might be making the things too expensive. Independent of this, buses are safer than cars, so safety wise the argument

I don't think we should dehumanize people just because they are on the other site of the debate. To address the point, there are good reasons for deprioritising safety given the economic climate.

There is a reason the author is on the board that gets to decide this. I wish the relevant people would just pocket the money and book a plane ticket to an offshore location, rather than bragging about it on social media. That way at least

It matters how you say something. This doesn't leave much room for discussion. That's why this would attract criticism. Even though your points are valid they are not beyond discussion. Personally I prefer interpreted languages, B

Second time I saw an ad for this product on this site. Don't get me wrong. I like the idea of innovation in this space. But I think they should just buy advertising space.

I tried replying to your article. Since I now notice it's been six years, I wonder whether you did anything with this? I don't think professional mathematicians would say you shouldn't pursue it. The opposite, actually. If pe
