Are there any alternatives that are cheaper though?

Thats an absolutely terrible and ignorant and draconian policy.

These letters from his public defender seem horrible.

sounds like code that could be useful to this day at least the concepts. That's the downside of closed source. It's gone now.

I've found I can really dig in to any task no matter how trivial, offered to me at work and get enjoyment out of it. The work part of work is the funnest part. The issue the makes work unpleasant is PEOPLE and the inherent complications that accompany that. Managing up and managing down. Politics, poor leadership, meetings to plan other meetings, open offices, promotions based on allegiance instead of skill, office parties that are a pretense, I could go on etc, etc. If I could just work...that would be glorious, but people always seem to get in the way. Maybe like Sartre I'm a misanthrope and 'hell is other people' for me. This emphasis on 'teamwork' over creative individuality and self-expression these days really just bugs me. It's also early and I'm just drinking my first cup of coffee.

I really like this take. Especially the idea that OOP is used for specific OOP use cases and not applicable to solving every problem at large. Data Processing is a great example

'easily'

Why not just relocate silicon valley to Pittsburgh where rents are cheaper?

Problem solved!

So much plain and simple arrogance and ignorance in this thread. Mind blowing.

14 bil year is a bargain for what this city provides.

Completely agree. Walking around San Fran the lack of public restrooms and reticence of shopowners to let you use their private restroom made me want to poop on the street.

Santa Monica had a bunch of public restrooms and you NEVER see poop on the street like on San Fran.

You absolutely did if you look at your comment. But whatever helps you sleep at night sir.

This is a classic "Appeal to worse problems" logical fallacy. Because other situations could be worse then your problem is irrelevant. It goes all the way back to your parents telling you that your problems are irrelevant because there are starving children in Africa.

Here's a wiki on it. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Not_as_bad_as

It's one of the purest most common logical fallacies used.

My Android back button and this page did not get along.

The issue is that the U.S. isn't overpopulated. India, China are tho.

PG never fails to stimulate ideas.

I'm in New Orleans. Our cities form of status is totally who you know. Money is not as big of adeal. A billionaire has less clout than the owner of a operation that designs Mardi Gras floats or the bartender that is the lead of the Krewe of Elvi.

I think that is what you would call "Soul" possibly.

After travelling to a bunch of other cities and seeing unfettered capitalism destroy communities, neighborhoods, housing markets, livability, and peoples lives..it's a pretty refreshing place to be.

On the flip side our economy is absolutely terrible.

It's mostly dead end jobs for the bottom 60% of America. Employers don't take care of employees and treat them like expendable machines.

There's no upside to entering the working world so why not just declare disability.

I think you're underestimating how hard these people have worked their whole lives. The issue is not one of not working. It's one of lower class wages. If you work your while life and do all the things society expects of you but still end up screwed. That's a systemic problem not a lazy person problem.

The ocean may have diluted it a bit.

I like this best.

It enables you to build your feature and then squash the commits into one idempotent feature commit which keeps commit clutter out of the git logs.

Just keeping your branch rebased daily, one will have minimal problems even on big teams.

I personally love developing on my own branch and having the freedom to experiment without messing stuff up.

Is Safari the new Internet Explorer?

I mean yeah but this is javascript. Only 3 phases of transpilation is for noobs.

brainfuck->typescript->es6->via babel->es5->postCss plugins->sass->css->transpiled to react components->transpiled to an Angular 2 project->to webcomponents->transpiled to ArnoldC language->transpiled to a Turing complete Shopify liquid template-> commonjs and browserified->rails sprocket pipeline->then piped to /dev/null

It's not easy being a Javascript Ninja/Rockstar.

I travel a lot and one big advantage of travel I've found is not necessarily all the 'cool adventures' but the fact that you're around strangers all the time so you're allowed to experiment with your personality.

At home you become one version of yourself and people know you and treat you as such and you respond in kind. Everything becomes sort of routine to maintain the status quo.

Travel is amazing because you literally have no preconceived notions or expectations from other people so you can experiment and be different versions of yourself and no one will be the wiser.

You can learn a lot about yourself and others this way.

It's also extremely liberating.

Man I wonder what the plain text transmit speed would be for a sattelite.

Talk about avoiding all government censorship. lol.

Are you blind?

Until recently America had child labor and would lynch black people. A FEDERAL judge in my hometown of New Orleans is famous for saying "We like to try our niggers before we hang them".

Human nature is human nature.

We live in a 'veneer' of civilization.

Underneath are still the same old animal instincts honed over millions of years of evolution.

Don't ever forget that. Or forget it at your peril.

Are you being serious?

In Mexico the narco terrorists pulled innocent people off of a bus and made them pit fight to the death for their amusement.

In the middle ages they would impale you on a spike so that you died slowly over days.

In Rwanda one tribe butchered 5 million people of another tribe with machetes.

An that's just examples I can think of off the top of my head.

And you have trouble believing that a few cops wouldn't let a mother comfort her child?

YES! Exactly this.

Passing down of beliefs and behaviors is almost more valuable than passing down money.

You're embedding positive or negative behaviors into someone's personality.

1>Passing down the belief that education is valuable

2>Passing down the belief that investing in the future is more valuable than short term spending.

etc.

Also having resources in general is a massive benefit. 1>having security allows wealthy kids to take more risks/reap more rewards.

2>More free time to learn and advance themselves

3>ability to take low paying jobs purely to make connections/build job skills

4>Status is a language that every one understands at a primitive level and so just getting more respect in general which means better promotions, better mates, etc.

Man when I realized that people were really (subconsiously) seeking some biological imperative based on child survival from superficial materialistic characteristics instead of a best friend type to spend their life with in a mate it really messed up my head about the dating game. But you got to do what you got to do.

Once you commit years of education to a particular field and years of worktime and experience the 'momentum' of your direction in life can get pretty hard to shift.

You passion for being a veterinarian turns to 'just a job'.

I agree with this article and love it but take it one step further.

I think doing 'what you love' is a failed premise for several reasons.

a>When you turn your passion into a job your passion becomes a job.

b>You only 'think' you love it. Your social circles have conditioned you to love a certain subject. An inner city kid is going to be more likely interested in the NBA and Rapping, than social media and solar power. Just like the average person from the middle east will be more interested in Islam than the average person from the South. (Stereotypes can be proven by statistics.)

c>You will change. As you get older think of all the new things you've fallen in love with. New passions. New interests. And the things you have fallen out of love with. I'm not convinced people are static enough to love 'one thing' for 40 years.

I think what people really want out of a career is freedom. Intellectual freedom, freedom to manage their time,prestige, respect, expertise, etc.

I think these are the things one should be pursuing instead of doing 'what you love'.

Chastity? What planet are you on?

LOOKS ARE WHY WOMEN WEAR MAKEUP and mini skirts. If chastity were their test they would be doing exactly the opposite.

You're not getting turned on by porn because the woman is 'chaste'. You're getting turned on becuase she is HOT.

Looks, indicate fertility and health, and are widely know through out all of biology and the animal kingdom to be used by males to select fit mates no matter slutty and how many litters of animals the female has had. It indicates genetic fitness.

For men success is the test. It indicates accumulation of resources and ability to survive.

Plus, sex is a powerful primitive desire and no (matter what they tell you) they're all "bicycles" as you describe it, just like you would LIKE to be.

If mens test is success, the women's test is her looks.

And attractive young girls are men's equivalent of the rich handsome finance studs.

If we're going to allow men to be selected for we also have to allow women to be selected for.

In the spirit of honest natural selection leaving your sagging wife and marrying your young secretary is good for humanity as a whole.
