Where do you draw the line at anti-science? Where do you draw the line? Where is the line where moderation becomes censorship? There are so many questions to ask. Is book burning (in moderation) censorship or "stopping…
Same reason you “can’t” do that with textbooks. The whole reason it’s cheap is the vast majority of the cost is shouldered by the west. If you were able to execute this arbitrage (and you should be able to but can’t…
What ever happened to exploring computing through just building small, cool, things? Maybe I'm old now, but this trope has been parroted here and elsewhere as a panacea. Need a job? Contribute to open source for the CV…
> but I've come to accept that the only way to not be bullied or harassed online is to not expose yourself too much online I've been on the internet for almost 30 years. This is something that we've lost in the last…
You're missing the point of the pension and social security. There are, and has always, been a large portion of society making "just enough". Maxing out your 401k requires 19,500 dollars of pre-tax income you can dump…
Regardless of your feelings you're missing the point. The middle class is the bellwether of the economy. Though, I don't think you're truly interested in the economy at large. When middle class wages go up, small…
This is correct but a little ranty. Men have consistently surpassed women in both suicide attempts and suicides (see upthread for statistics) but no one seems to care. This "why won't someone think of the women"…
A better question might be what are the ethical limits of gene editing. How long until we stumble over eugenics but with extra steps? It seems to me at least to be the natural conclusion of advanced gene editing. Law of…

I ended up taking the pandemic off from my graduate classes. I am funding out of pocket (a local university so about $6,000 per year on a dev salary). I was given the option to get a GA-ship but at 11k a year I figured…
The lack of SLA/SLO/data sovereignty is an absolute non-starter. It's a decent idea but it lacks the necessary guarantees to get people to move off of their current provider (my $company included).
Medium does get tiring to read... Archive link: https://archive.is/6JuaJ Using: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/minimum-wage/history/chart I looked over the article and never saw a single justification for $15/hr.…
From what I gathered the problem is in the memory module and not memory itself. It would be like your RAM failing. No amount of rust or memory safety can help with that. Moreover you don’t exactly re-upload the entire…
I wrote about this a few posts ago but it's so common to be aged out of tech for any number of reasons that I have no plans to work in it after I turn 40. If I can, great. In all likelihood if I don't make a cushy…
If you want to be even more disgusted look into how nursing home works. A family member got moved into one (against our recommendation) and they've borderline taken everything from her. Social security checks are signed…
Arguably? By what metric? Lisp is a standard. What implementation?

I don't know about any other countries but this is extremely common in the US. Dating is a line item in most men's budgets. In my experience, and I'm sure others, it's never pick a bar or something where it can be…
Having at one point worked in the marketing side of ecommerce Google is an absolute bane to work with if you're not clearing several hundred million per year. The entire system is rigged as far as I am concerned and I…
Where I live Californians have absolutely decimated the market. A few realtor buddies of mine say they almost exclusively deal in cash buyers from there and I was almost outbid on my own house several years ago by the…
Why? Landlords were forced by edict to keep non-paying tenants while simultaneously footing the bill. This is completely unfair to landlords and makes the "speculative investment" argument into a government decree. The…
Agree, after using python for work on research for one of my papers it was wholly insufficient. I ended up writing more Cython than Python to achieve the performance I needed on a mere 100,000 points of data. My…

Year 1: Getting a job anywhere is a challenge. Cast a wide net with an open mind. In all likelihood you will leave this job on or before year 5. Accept a lower salary in exchange for experience but don't compromise so…
