Sorry I edited to include my point there. If you don't have 30-60 minute check-ins with juniors, they're not going to have the same rapid feedback that they'd get from in person mentoring. And very importantly, I'm sayin

I'm not sure what your point is. Even if they made just $10mil, fining them out of existence (and giving precedent for such a big fine later) is still a good thing.

NYC is the only city I've found that seems to be good at #2 and #3. #2 because route finding is generally pretty easy to follow so scamming people is harder. #3 has been much much better since its been made illegal to get to the destin

Half of your cost is your $50k car choice, though, and doesn't include resale value of around $15k (I'm looking at 2013 highlander prices. It's probably more because you chose a bunch of upgrades, see below). Drops your yearl

Maybe AdGuard? Maybe they have 2G internet? Something isn't right, and I have a hard time believing it's NYTimes given my experiences with their website.

You're conflating two different topics: 1. "Its easy to find many examples of apps that were challenging to build even just 10 years ago, that are somewhat trivial now." Correct. It's easier now to build apps that we use

I think it's supposed to be saying "With that knowledge, [we are claiming that] Meta deliberately assigned these employees to develop, in a matter of months, Meta’s copycat Threads app." I wouldn't be surprised if Elon i

I see it as four categories, from least employees to most: 1. Desperately trying to make short term cash, and are trying to do their best with fewer employees than needed to maintain the current product. (Twitter is here). 2. Enough staff t

It's not really possible to say how many people are "working on" Threads, I bet. Threads is using Meta infrastructure. Should all those employees count towards Threads employees? How about HR? Legal? Internal tools? Building

It's clearly a text-forward port of Instagram. Using any Twitter "trade secrets" would probably be counterproductive. So unless Twitter is claiming that Instagram stole trade secrets (ha), this seems like desperate litigating

2 pounds per week is a typical recommended max. 3 months is 13 weeks. So 26 pounds in 3 months is fine.

I don't know why you think I said high level mathematics knowledge is required to learn FP. I simply said that in my experience, those who found FP easier to learn than imperative programming tend to be those who have a background in

> FP is much simpler to learn, so much better suited for newcomers. I can't see how this is the case. Assignment is just one tiny piece of learning how to program, and is almost never a pain point after a small amount of instruction

Because when we're talking about CS education, it's usually in preparation for a software engineering career. Whether that should be the case is another story, but that's the reality.

> People had more money Where are you getting this information? Raises are not keeping up with inflation. A few thousand in stimulus dollars years ago is not driving anything. PPP money didn't increase wages.

by whateverman23 3y ago
Inflation is happening because corporations are realizing that they can just keep raising prices and people will just... keep buying things. Rinse and repeat. Record corporate profits are the key indicator here.
