The cartels are also extorting avocado farmers for a cut of their profits. It turns out that, if you have a lot of bad people in power, they find ways to do bad things for personal enrichment.

Being a good programmer can also be situation dependent. The ideal author for code that powers a nuclear reactor may be different from the ideal programmer making a consumer product.

Reddit is pretty much dead IMO. There seems to be a few substantial posts, if that, per day. Discord is way more active.

Are you advocating for returning to the way people lived millennia ago? You’re free to do that. I’m going to keep enjoying penicillin.

I find it extremely condescending to say you understand and empathize with something you have no direct experience with. Like put your money with your mouth is. Instead of telling people to live a certain way, live that way yourself and get

Well, there haven't been many deaths that we know of. However, the behavior of the orcas seems to be a learned behavior. Obviously they're doing this for a reason. Who knows, maybe this pod of whales has developed a taste? There a

Just so you know, surveys are rarely truly anonymous at companies. Feedback may be anonymized, so, for instance, a manager can receive more honest feedback from their direct reports. But if you include a racist tirade in your feedback, it&#

Sorry, you don't have kids so you just don't get it. I didn't get it either before I had a kid. All of the reasons you listed, bad public transport, dangerous biking, safety, etc. have nothing to do with why I want to buy an

And yet, the most expensive places to live in dense areas are single family homes. Like how much does a brownstone in Greenwich Village cost? 15 million? Clearly in any environment, a single family home is the most desirable option. People

That’s an interesting idea. You could define a custom type that has the type of [number, number] and combine it with Omit to remove methods that allow extending the array.

Have you seen the library runtypes for TS? It lets you specify types using a library rather than pure TS type syntax. The library code looks very similar to the normal TS type syntax, but when you use the type you get input validation for f

To me, it’d be pretty weird to enter a lifelong agreement with someone to share everything, but then as soon as you hit the lotto you start to squirrel things away on the side.

Do you have a prenup? If not, I think it’s important to understand that half of what she earns is yours and half of what you earn is hers. If you don’t have a prenup, you should really be pooling your money. If not, you’re asking for troubl

No, the mathematical definition of counting (i.e. whether or not a set is countable) involves mapping to the natural numbers, which doesn’t include 0.

by atwood22 4y ago
Do you know the definition of countable? A set S is countable if there is a one-to-one mapping from S to N where N is the natural numbers. Do you know that 0 is not a member of the natural numbers? We literally start counting at 1 by defini

No, it doesn’t carry an implicit 0 index. Measuring age (in the West) is like measuring distance. You start at 0, but that doesn’t mean the first item is at index 0.

No, it just means we have a different notion of what a year is in regards to age. Similar to how different cultures can use different units of measurement for length, mass, etc.

No, we don't count from 0. That's like saying we start counting a baker's cup from 0 because you can have half a cup.

No, birthdays are 1 indexed. Your Nth birthday is the day you turn N years old. When you're 1 year old, you've been alive for 1 year, not 2 years.

They earn above the tech average wage, or they earn above average wage in the country? If they work in tech, but earn below the average tech wage, then they’d actually be bringing the average wage down when you consider the opportunity cost

Do H1Bs really earn above average wage? Haven’t seen that. Overall, H1Bs increase the labor supply, which decreases the price of labor.

Wouldn’t having an ion like this be useful? I’m not an expert in Chemistry, but most ions will either return or gain an electron at the first opportunity. This compound, on the other hand, likes having an extra electron.
