What about projects people made for fun and put it online because they're proud of it?

It's also common advice to put your portfolio online. They really don't show up in internet searches as far I've seen.

Personally I use borg with BorgTUI (https://github.com/dpbriggs/borgtui) to schedule backups and manage sources/repositories. I'm quite pleased with the simplicity of it compared to some of the other solutions.

More useful yet is knowing how to derive the quadratic equation as was in my curriculum (small public highschool in Canada).

Four hours of time off in lieu (or money) for a noon to midnight shift on weekdays and eight hours on a weekend.

It ends up being around a 10-15% bonus.

Not everyone has heard this advice or is in the audience for which it's important.

Andreas' audience includes a lot of young people for which this is valuable.

They'll just break down the door.

Git has some really good ideas that are hard to translate into a good UI. There exists several companies that implement UIs for git that are great - Kraken, Github Desktop, etc. There's nothing better than magit but few people use emacs.

The author mentions this near the bottom but there's already some great porcelains for git.

I wouldn't as knowledgeable and successful in tech without free computing resources from various companies. My parents didn't have any money and I certainly didn't either.

There's a lot of transferable skills gained in these products. You're not just operating a Maytag.

I wonder how the broken window fallacy plays into this. I would assume a healthy population is more productive than a diseased one.

That effects healthcare profits though, so incentives aren't exactly aligned.

The child abuse, while awful, is independent of investing attitudes. An equivalent narrative could be spun in the opposite direction about "playing it safe as he did with his father's mood".

The vast majority of investors don't have billionaire (or millionaire) problems. If the world is going to shit magic internet beans with very poor market penetration won't save you.

Otherwise this article reeks of motivated reasoning. Why use the language "Not Everybody Is Right All the Time. We All Have Biases" to describe Buffet's position?

I respect the principles but with all due respect I thibk you could do a lot of good by selling them and giving the money to charity. Most of the people buying crypto are speculators, let them fund charity.

In my admitted limited experience (small amounts at work and in personal projects) it's some integer multiplier. For routine code it's really nice. But for something more complicated it was distracting. Copilot had an opinion of what the software should be which wasn't quite right and had to be ripped out later. It feeds on itself and your program is further shaped in that direction.

Of course I could have made a similarly poor decision but it's interesting to see that automated to the point of convenience.

As with everything in Serenity - why not? It's fun and people are motivated to work on it. If that wasn't the case it wouldn't be a project.

And that's not meant to be a pithy response. That's the Serenity culture.

Oh neat, I didn't know that existed. That's a combination of what I was trying to say above.

If your for loop body is infallible then for_each is good enough.

If you're trying to 'collect' some iterator into some data structure T, you can collect into Result<T, _> and question mark on that.

Both iterator examples have alternatives where you don't need a for loop. Try using for_each and you can collect an iterator of results into a single Result<_> you can then early return with.

Both of those are made cleaner by not using for loops.

Ah yes, the economic trick of buying the "average" house thousands of kilometers away from where I live. The average house where I live starts at four hundred thousand. Much more if you want detached.

Thanks the advice. I'll start purchasing property impractically far from my work. Good idea

Why do you feel the need to apologize for racism? It isn't necessary in this conversation.

While that income sounds like a lot it doesn't stretch to buying a home every 3-5 years. Are you taking about getting a mortgage? I make more than that but it's unrealistic I'll be owning a fully paid off house in 3-5 years. I could get a mortgage and purchase a house in that timeframe.

After taxes, high COL, sky-high rent, and retirement savings there's maybe a deposit in there.

I already have ads for crappy financial products in my banking app.

Similar story here. I did stop using Uber Eats after the Nth order of the guy travelling with your food to the other side of the city working for some other app. Terrible user experience.

They seem to be aware of it with the recent campaign of "95% of orders arrive on time", which has to be an abuse of statistics.

For me it housed mocp (later Spotify) and a GUI file manager on occasion. It's nice to leave the first three desktops clean.

I've had this exact setup for nearly a decade. Sometimes Slack (or Google Chat) ends up on desktop four.

It really cuts down on distractions.

I think it's more likely that would price out poor people in need. Those who could afford it will stock up "just in case"

My parents, very much not South Asian, achieved the same thing as per their doctor's recommendation.

Emacs with vim emulation. A blessed combo

A lot of these exchanges have suddenly died because they printed more currency than could be reasonably liquidated on short notice. And borrowed heavily against these tokens.

When the bank goes bust there's insurance on your deposits. If the amount stored is greater than that insurance you may want to invest the difference.

And gold is practically hard to work with and barely functions as an inflation hedge (point 1) over reasonable time periods (your lifetime).

Firefox reader mode made it readable for me.

Care to elaborate on that claim?

There's a human rights concern leaving them in to wallow in their filth. Nevermind the expensive and depressing reality of dumping them in some strange tiled house. I also can't imagine them appreciating strangers forcing themselves in to spray everything.

I think OP was trying to get at the sad reality where severe mental illness is treated with some sort of loss in agency. You're still forcing some sort of solution they may not want and may work to sabotage.

You could advocate for encompassing services (e.g. regular visits from a nurse) but you'll quickly arrive at modern psychiatric facilities if for no other reason than scale and cost.

Did my entire degree in org-mode. It's one of the highest productivity formats out there.
