Would you really interview and hire for a job based on SQL tricks instead of spending $50 to give someone a reference book?

You dodged a bullet with that one.

Why would you ask interview questions to quiz on skills that can be learned in a week?

This is only useful if you tell candidates to study a book for a week first.

Otherwise you are filtering for narrowminded memorizers, not smart people who can learn and solve problems

Extra thin font violates accessibility standards.

What about the second time?

If you want to professionally sysadmin your system, don't use a consumer convenience-oriented OS and userspace apps.

Maintaining forks of old versions is expensive and error prone.

It's exausting to switch every time an upgrade is a betrayal

Yes. It's a great idea for spinning rust, meh for SATA SSD, and bad for NVMe SSD.

Python, C, Go, and even Haskell have wtfs too where language features collide. Every complex language does, as a consequence of complexity too.

Integers are not simple data types in python. https://docs.python.org/2/c-api/int.html#PyInt_FromLong

You'd be correct to use 'is' to mean 'is', and '==' to mean '==', following their definitions.

That's why you should read the spec and not guess a function's definition from one example.

Otherwise you'll end up thinking that almost everything is simply an alias for constant True or 0 or Error, by popping in 0 to any operator you check.

Maybe also delete or reply to your previous commented in which you made strong assertions of wrong facts.

This starts in elementary school when the the cargo cult that is math pedagogy teaches the terrible "order of operations", instead of teaching students to use clear unambiguous syntax.

Covid 19 will eventually (a year or 2) go through the whole population and kill a lot of people, especially pensioners. Then it will be a background level killer like flu and cars. This is bad for many humans and people who love them but it's not bad for the economy.

Inflation is a giveaway to people who took money and were expected to return it. It hurts people who do real work for wages.

It's not fair to blame Keynes. If they didn't print money, corrupt govt would tax the poor.

Keynesian govt spending can pay workers directly for useful work, and even for not working at all. Unemployment insurance is Keynesian.

Please don't gatekeep respect

Alter kaker, coulda mattered

Except the original attempt: public schools.

Bravo using the word "crypto" with two different meaning that both fit the sentence.

I think it's a fixed point in the lattice of operational systems.

I bought $10K of STOCK. I hope for 5% dividend. I have no idea how many shares that is, and I don't care.

Which is horrific. It should export an event/intent for the user to to route.

States already have sovereignty. They can simply decline to pay back bondholders.

Should the Federal government return tax money it took from the people of New York to give to the people of Kentucky? Why or why or why not?

The Federal government can easily tax /discredit those wealthy pensioners to fund unemployment insurance, if they do choose.

The Atlantic author seems deeply confused. Not unexpected for David Frum. Puerto Rico is a territory, not in any state. A city is under state sovereignty.A state or a city can default. A city can declare bankruptcy under Federal law. There is no law allowing a state to go bankrupt and be managed by the Feds. Bankruptcy is an option , not a Federal power. McConnell isn't playing 7 dimensional chess, he just doesn't want to return tax money to Blue states and was just using language loosely when he said "bankrupt".

Hmm? The e in e2e is you and your partner communicating. If your don't trust your conversation partner, don't talk to them.

Bit of advice: If you don't know something, remain silent or say you don't know or ask a question. Don't confidently assert something you just made up.

Everything?

Would you jail people who challenge the official government statements?
