Make one yourself one with a box fan by taping a cheap hepa filter from home depot taped to the back. It will outperform everything in this market, only it will look a little ugly.

Performance is still remarkably better on the desktop app and will be for the forseeable future. I used to run the software over a decade ago on a modest dual core computer with 4gb of RAM without struggle; try doing that with a modern bro

I have a little trouble understanding the mentality of surveilling the porch. If someone steals your package and you get it on tape, then what? The police aren’t going to do anything. Whoever sent you the package will refund you. It seems l

Those classes at my uni you could get an a by signing your name. They were historically diluted to make them easy for people with difficult majors, and in the process lost most of their teaching value.

From my friends who recently graduated and took these jobs in nyc, this wasnt so suprising. They expected to work 10-12 hour days. The familial stuff sucks if you were planning on shacking up at 23, but most people just work their day then

Find a company that values your brain and input, rather than your typing speed. This should be obvious from who you are interacting with during your interview. Is it some faceless member of HR or the guy with the button?

Seriously. Good luck arguing for 400k total comp in Kansas or wherever when there are local engineers perhaps even senior to you who’ve been happily working for upper 5 figures all their career.

Once you get some wealth you probably shouldn't be running your own investments. You will probably have someone taking care of your portfolio and giving you the bullet points every now and then.

You can easily work part time even with a full course load, and ramp up to full time or more during summers. It’s what I did.

No surprise. The author is a middle aged conservative economist. These people are more concerned with the next 30 years of gains than climate change, as they won’t be around holding the bag when crops start to fail.

And here we are at the highest levels of inequality since the 1920s. For the last 100 years, efficiency has meant squeezing every spare penny of disposable income from the working class. These people don’t benefit from market gains.

A lot of people get by just staging and pushing/pulling commits, myself included. That’s 3 commands, 4 if you count git status. You do not need to dig deep to get a lot of use out of git as a basic remote sync.
