Change jobs every 6 months or less, insist on a raise between each one. I'm earning just shy of 300k now. I don't see it stopping in the next decade either.

I disagree with everything that guy says and as of two months ago I am a millionaire before I turn 30. Pessimism is what keeps you from following the herd of lemmings over the cliff.

You get silenced by karma when you have unpopular opinions. You know, just how people used to tell homosexuals to not be gay when other people thought they were freaks because of it.

Yes all those cia funded freedom fighters fighting the fbi funded freedom fighters have nothing to do with the US.

The US is directly and indirectly responsible for more civilian death than any other coutry since the cold war ended. Basic human decency should be the answer to why you shouldn't help kill even more.

I really hope you're making those up because they sound absolutely dumb.

You mean realistic. NDAs are there for a reason.

No. The mouse introduced in 1984 was philosophically incompatible with Anglebarts mouse like device. Watch the mother of all demos and see the difference. Apple: https://youtu.be/S7AL7tkQ7d0?t=13m8s Mother of all demos: ht

Engelbart did not envision the brain dead point and click thing apple introduced (with a single button[0]), or microsoft slightly improved version (with two buttons[1]) and that we have made ever so slightly better since then [2] [3] [4]. W

The minimum ability someone needs to have for me to consider them a programmer is the being able to write a parser using yacc or something equivalent. Anything a person with that ability does is programming because they know enough to real

It doesn't help that most developers are language fanboys who have no idea what actual programming means.

It's a status symbol. To them the Rolex is like a code base written in idiomatic Haskell, the Casio is a code base for a pet shop written in php sprinkled across a dozen html files.

>I'm not sure what changed in the incentive structure for this to happen, and I would like to find out. People started getting paid more for doing this because managers have no idea what programming actually is.

Life shows up in the fossil record more or less as soon as rocks on the Earths surface start forming. The first billions years on earth mostly involved the planet getting hit by large things and the surface melting. Repeat every millennium.

At that point you're just teaching them how to game the system better. It's a lot like anti-money laundering training. You know which people in your company shouldn't be taking it because it will just give them ideas.

In the same way the difference between a stabbing and a murder is one of degree, and 2 inches depth.

What is your definition of benefit? Pushing workers to pee in bottles is not a cumulative benefit to humanity.

The reason to hate on Bezos, Musk et al is the same reason why we hate cancer: an entity that is malfunctioning has found a way to maximize short term gain at the expense of long term survival. Worse, while the billions they have can buy th

Purely hypothetical and mostly stupid: could double spending attacks be a way to overcome the issue of a limited supply of coins and the fact the total number of coins tends to zero as old coins are lost?

It doesn't. -1 could mean you're returning a success. I mean that would literally be true in Forth.

Techbros. People who have had a golden spoon in their mouth since birth and can't imagine a life where they didn't have their hands held to success the whole time. They think that because they are not billionaires they aren't

Unfortunately if we did this we would be in a much deeper hole than the great depression. The economy only works because people have been trained for 80 years to buy things they don't need, throw them out when they shouldn't and r

Might I suggest Jupiter notebooks? They are like mathematica, but don't suck.

Unless you need to do real calculations, in which case qwerty beats the pants off RPN because you are just programming. Calculators are a relic from a bygone era, kept in use only by regulations and a captured market.
