It also has no clue what a server is. Servers with Windows 2012 R2, force the users to reboot. How stupid are microsoft, that they assume that people will be ok with rebooting production servers in the middle of the day.
Don't you now need to take two appointments, one for biometric data entry and a few days later for the visa interview? If the consulate is not in your city you would lose more than a few workdays.
It seems all you do is git pull, push and check disk usage!! Do you really check disk usage almost as often as you do git pull and push? You do push and pull more than commits?!! I cant understand what is that you do if you dont use other commands like grep, find, vi, top as often?
Do you have any practical experience of using MSBuild? If you have ever worked on MSBuild and other build tools (e.g. ant, maven, even make for that matter), you would have noticed how difficult it is to write or extend simple build tasks in msbuild. Have you ever tried to use MSBuild to build anything on a machine that doesnt have visual studio installed? If you use any other ide, the separation of IDE and the compiler is very clear. Try figuring out the build parameters that Visual studio uses to compile your code.
I have no experience and dont fancy myself to be capable of giving life advice, but I think the manual jobs you mentioned "crewing on someone's yacht, working at a ranch, being a ski instructor" are based on some glamor you associate with those jobs. After some time you will come to know the unglamorous aspects of those jobs and you will be back to square one. For example, a few days back I read an article by an airline pilot who was fed up with the politics and other administrative tasks that come with the job. Even though I am not brave enough to practice it myself, I feel the way out would be to take a job with no glamour whatsoever with the attitude that you can come out of it if you wanted to anytime.
I am not arguing against birth control. What I felt wrong about your view was that, you are basing life's worth on carbon emissions. There are better ways of reducing carbon emissions.
>There's a difference between firing someone in a company and simply removing the position through attrition when someone leaves. This is no different than the later.
The difference is that in your company, you know you dont need the position. How do you know that a couple wants to have a kid or not?
It is really riduculous that we now start evaluating human life by the amount of carbon emission one generates. Sorry, but that is just nonsense. Wont killing yourself achieve your goals? Also, you should start a non-profit that pays family members if they commit suicide.
Exactly. Whenever I find people comparing opensource tech stacks with microsoft ones using just numbers, I feel they have no clue how sales work in the real world. They feel all products (software or otherwise) get sold just because enough demand exists in the system. They have no clue, how much pushing/shoving/manipulating goes on on the supply side of equation.
Your second paragraph exactly matches the point your parent wanted to put across. Yet, you typed in the first paragraph. You want to show you got more insight, huh?
There are a lot of examples in the book "In search of Schrodingers cat" which can be explained in layman terms. There's double slit experiment, then radioactive decay rate, then double polarization of light. That is what I can remember right now. But i remember, the book has lot many other examples.
I feel this is a faulty exercise. Would you disclose your salary if you knew you made more than your peers? I guess the end effect would be, only those who feel they are making less would disclose.
Well .. nothing against you, but if you can do what you love even if that means you are broke, means you are elite. It means you have some guarantee of a social support. May be your definition of broke includes welfare support from govt. There are parts of the world where people commit suicide if they are broke. All people in the first worlds are elites.
But isnt it some kind of circular logic to say that, waiters are paid less (by restaurants) because it is common knowledge that they are tipped. And customers must tip, because, they are paid less by their employers. Dont you think it would be simpler if there was no expectation of tips. You know what I think, its the employers who are getting away with cheap labour. It is like some companies that have a variable pay included in the offer, over which the employee has no control.
Actually your work takes place where your employer is registered. The rules for most countries are basically very simple -- If you are on a tourist visa, you cannot get hired by a local employer.
You can also use vlc to record your desktop. That way you can also control the output video codec and pass additional parameters to control the quality/size. Also, you can stream your desktop live to a streaming server (like rtmp).
Dont mean to be rude, but comparison of file sizes of different video containers is pointless. You need to see what audio or video format each of the container files store. Then there could be changes in framerate (fps), frame size (like 640x480), compression quality (or inversely video bit rate), audio bit rate, image encoding (rgb for gif vs yuv420 ). Just changing the audio bit rate from 128kbps to 32kbps for a voice only video (i mean no music, like they have for tutorials) can reduce file size by 50%!
Lets be intelligent. Salaries for the H1Bs are low because the H1B visas are very exploitative. So, instead of forcing companies to hire local labour, force the government to remove the restrictions and salaries will rise.
