I believe you interpreted their comment as a sort of let them drown in hedonism moment, but from what I'm getting it's really just encouraging giving your kid space to find the joy themselves. You can encourage new forms or method

Even then, you don't have to throw money at the problem right away. If you feel you can save time and money by using Rust instead of PHP (just using the two languages as examples, not a specific indication of Rust or PHP's resourc

The problem you are trying to solve is not the elevator operator. The elevator operator is a byproduct of a rushed cheap solution to the problem of crime/access to top floor/whatever the actual problem is. Therefore yes, a retrofi

All jobs rely on attention. In this example, a security guard having to divert attention to interact with guests at the elevator is going to be distracted far more. But again, this isn't about the security man!!

We can't simultaneously claim those in the position know best (Cohen's take) and then dismiss their self-perception because it doesn't align with our perception of their role. Further, how can we trust our perception is the b

What a brilliant summary of this thread.

So using your example, maybe there is something at the top floor that needs guarding. Someone manually pressing the elevator doesn't fix this, he becomes another weak point that can be easily socially engineered. One alternative soluti

Bullshit isn't a quantifier about how entertaining a job is. Unless the job is specifically about entertaining I suppose.

You do realize that economics relies entirely on humanities, right? Psychology, sociology, philosophy, etc without such fields economics cannot reach any of the conclusions they have suggested since the field's creation. But it is hyst

Ask yourself: what problem is that job solving and how effective is the solution? A security guard who has to manually press elevator buttons is not solving the problem effectively. Are you more secure that the guard manually presses the el

I'm sorry but someone who is unable to determine problems with a tool they've used for 7 years is a huge red flag. That sort of blindness to frustrations is legitimately a massive problem in this field.

The problem is that a lot of developers consider things forever tools when they are not forever tools and not even close. SQL is one of the forever tools, but even in your short list I would absolutely strike down two of them as "forev

The average is still 100k. Acting like all engineers are somehow the rare FAANG hires who are making 250k+ is absurd. Further, you ignore the context in which "the wealthy" is used, which is describing those who profit directly fr

Your logic doesn't work because salaries are not attached to performance.

That's the catch though, these absurdly high levels of testosterone have not proven better quality of life. Especially for those who aren't suffering from a severe lack of testosterone (far beyond the aging process). I didn't

It certainly exists/works, but is it productive? With my time using Tamagui I would go with no. There are just so many traps everywhere. 99% of it isn't your fault, just the name of the fragile RN game. Install another package her

You do realize you still have to write a lot of native code in cross platform apps, right? It's what all the most used apps do. This idea that individually you can be more productive on a cross platform app has no basis in reality. You

Seconding this. The cross platform experience has been so abysmal for so long, that I question whether the benefits of "easier to support" are even real considering the generally worse experience, longstanding bugs that are harder

Your equation isn't complete. You can't only care about getting 95% of the way there if the final 5% takes substantially more time than it normally would or worse halts development entirely.

Not sure how much weight this really has in a market such as mobile phones in which additional external competitors are never going to become a reality.

You'll want to look at worker's share of corporate income for the full picture of wages and prices, and that has not recovered since 2008.

None of those things are exclusive to social media, some of them aren't even bad (gossip), and the rest have equal positives (misinformation = abundant information, bullying = uplifting each other). I always question what intention doe

You contradict your own argument. You recognize Facebook finds ways around it and previously used egregious bullshit, such bullshit that Apple tolerated for years. Yet somehow you believe Apple will protect you, again despite them failing t

Yep still the case. Good if you're already using cloudflare and therefore the at cost pricing can wind up saving you a bit, otherwise you would be better served with the likes of porkbun or namecheap. Gandi used to be another before it

Now would be a good time for Cloudflare to announce they've (finally) added .app and .dev support. Nonetheless, Squarespace isn't bad but I found their domain pricing to be overpriced to target the specific market that doesn'

I think you might just not be allowing time for the seed to sprout. You should be proud of doing some of the hardest tasks already, so focus more on planting the seed and letting it grow by regularly showing up and watering it. So much of n

How popular was your small east coast college library? I have a theory about this. Which is that the upper/upper-mid class in particular cares more about the image of a pristine library than they do the actual effectiveness/reach

They can transfer the information if they want, API changes don't go through for another couple of weeks and archives do exist.
