As much as I'd prefer to be a baker or tradesman, I know you're not going to pay me anything near what you get for coding. Gonna fake it until I make it, maybe even be a very mediocre or bad coder, but at least you'll…
Fair enough
It's good you wrote this up to bring attention to this, but did you really have to torment the CSR by saying you'd go to social media about it as some kind of bargaining chip? You're right it's not on them, it's on the…
But Asians are being systemically held down by affirmative action and racial quotas. Proof that the power of systemic racism is very real no matter your income or class, or no matter if you're a minority or not. You are…
An expense for businesses and households that can afford it (and they'll surely write it off their taxes), is not equivalent to the impact on poor people who will be put on the street if they aren't already homeless.…
The young and poor can't afford to increase their cost of living even further. We're already burdened with debt, a shitty job market, unable to afford housing, and are having trouble even finding love and having…
I really don't believe that is the best alternative. If $1000 is really enough to get enough laptops for whatever number of participants there, then you're better off using half or less of that to upgrade with SSDs and…
I have to deal with this problem living in a room with no AC/central air and I have some tips that may be useful for others in the same situation. 1. Put a frozen water bottle under your shirt. Keep backups in the…
I am kind of fascinated how people without computers end up at a coding school. Are they paying to attend? That said, I have an elitebook 8470p and assuming they have ssds and enough ram, they should be fine considering…
>I also don't understand the article's interest in decoupling programming from math It's an unfortunate side effect of America's long acceptance of anti-intellectualism. And people like this perpetuate it by coddling…
It offers a Pepsi instead.
Lots of great advice in this thread. I hope you don't get overwhelmed thinking about what and how to apply them to your own life. Just remember that it's better to do something than to do nothing. That you're still…
You just need to buy a coffee sack or something similar to it and a big pitcher. 1 cup of ground coffee (coarse ground preferred but regular ground coffee works too) to 4 cups of water. Or 1:4 ratio of your preferred…
If you go for a thinkpad, I advise going for a model that still uses the dual battery system. Some models I can think of: t480, x270, p51s, p52s. Since you'll be running Linux, you'll need all the battery power you can…
You could try giving them money. I'm poor and after the reality of covid hit and I was out of a job, I confided in my best friend to give me a loan of $5000 in order to give me some sense of security, so that I could…
