>Gain(cheating) * P(not getting caught) > Cost(cheating) * (1 - P(not getting caught))

Western society has a much higher chance of getting caught and a much higher cost when caught because it views that behaviour as abnormal. India has a cultural problem where cheating is expected.

>And even if it WAS irrelevant and only important to a very small number of people, that doesn't mean it can be ignored.

I don't follow. That sounds like the exact criteria for something to be ignored.

Where is php? I suspect nodejs and php would be inversely related to one another.

How big is your team?

Lots of apps die in the wake of the new.

How many teachers are male vs female? I feel like this is simply a statistic resulting from what each sex does more of professionally.

It would be like saying, "on average an educated man will write at least 8 applications during his lifetime, whereas you're lucky if a woman writes one". Completely ignoring the real problem, men outnumber women 9 to 1.

Reading this, I was left with the impression that iOS apps took off by offering high quality at low cost. However, the cost differential was wrong and eventually the developers figured it was a scam and changed up.

Some provided lame platforms for pump and dump html to apps. Others made their games free and played off their users addiction.

Each day app developers burn more and more consumer trust. Eventually we will get to a point where quality matches cost, we may be there already.

>Have you ever noticed that the people complaining about apps that cost $3.99 are the same people dropping five bucks on a cup of fancy coffee

Every single time there is a post like this we beat the same dead horse.

Or we just discovered how useless the marketing metrics for a large number of companies can be. Probably a couple product ideas in this problem...

Not a php dev. You get asset compression and scss compilation natively from php? That would be pretty amazing!

Looks like.

>The thing is — you can’t counter. It’s too late by that point.

Unless the employee is leaving for money. Junior employees HAVE to jump jobs 2-3 times to get to their market rate.

The second answer is pretty good.

Benefits:

-Works offline

-Branches/Merging

-Fork another's work

-Collaboration

-Light weight and fast

-Flexible

-Tooling (github)

Drawbacks of Git:

-Hard to learn if you know a centralized SCM.

>As designers, we are held responsible for the overall quality of the experience. Yet we’re at the mercy of our teams

Part of me empathizes and sees the similarity. Another part of me wants to point out that there is nothing stopping the designer from fixing this themselves. Learn your medium.

The original list pertained to picking for a company, rather than the unsurprising discovery that a paid IDE is better than free alternatives.

For example, how would you compare SQL Server install to Postgres? Did your team have an easy time integrating with AD? Was the team more productive in C# than Ruby?

>Active Directory, SQL Server, Azure, C# and Visual Studio are all amazing

What else have you tried? IMO, it is very hard to find anyone that worked on the MS stack, moved to something else and wants to go back to Microsoft.

Looks like there are hardly any automated tests for this project?

I agree, let me give you 0.0000005 BTC. Or I could give you 100 DOGE.

Looks like you get slightly less than 1/3 of a m3.2xlarge instance. Those have a base price of 90 cents an hour. Quite the tax to use heroku.

>Everyone I know has repeatedly lost loads of money in the stock market, but not one person I know has lost money buying real estate in large urban centres in Canada.

Canadians are very optimistic on owning houses. Too bad the market needs to crash before anyone under 30 can afford anything decent.

>they can't rely on physical dominance to counteract the dangers that come with a large group of uninhibited men.

I cannot think of a single occurrence of physical violence or rape that occurred at a technical conference. Your projections over all women here are unwarranted.

Maybe you feel this way because men are much more aggressive with other men? That would be a fair statement here.

>every one of the "racial differences" (especially the mental ones) that have been claimed have turned out to be baseless and untrue.

You should re-phrase that to point at racist claims. There are quite a few differences between the races. Bone density is one example.

The numbers are very inflated against buying. 10% closing cost, 1.35% property taxes, utilities only if you buy, another 1.35% annually on maintenance/renos/insurance.

Who is paying 2.6% of their property value each year on those things? Who gets utilities for free with their rent. That calculator is very dishonest.

In a Saas, you are basically doing custom application development for your first few customers. If your customers won't pay $100 a month for that, I would be concerned about business validation.

Sounds like it would cause salaries for talented individuals to rise. You make a good argument in favor of transparent salaries.

>It helps low-wage workers to raise their family above the poverty line.

Wouldn't someone earning minimum wage define the poverty line?

May I ask your age?

Passionate people enjoy what they do and are better at it than non-passionate people. Seems obvious.

Imagine you are going on a hike to the top of a mountain. Countless paths exist between you and your destination. Most of these are dead ends. Every dead end forces you to backtrack, sometimes all the way to the beginning.

Software is a lot like that.

That is a huge list that makes C# look amazingly better than java. Was this sarcastic?
