I imagine the GP was referring to the fact that Costco experiences that kind of growth while giving their employees excellent pay and benefits. Even low-level store employees typically make $20-30 an hour.

I can appreciate the desire to focus on abilities first, but this felt like a shotgun approach to the same old checklist strategy. Like a crawler found my resume somewhere on the web based on a few keywords, and the recruiter couldn't

In my experience, it felt that way from the outside. I got solicited by five different Amazon recruiters in 2022 alone. The one time I engaged, they didn't even have a specific role in mind. It definitely gave me the impression of blan

Bartle also wrote Notes from the Dawn of Time, a great series of articles about MUD design and programming. The stuff about command parsing is especially interesting. https://www.skotos.net/articles/DAWNOF.shtml.html

Safe spaces aren't really censorship. People are allowed to make fun of them. The hypocrisy comes into play when the ones who claim they're not allowed to speak their minds seem more like they really just want the entire world aro

Fair point. But that just means the breadth of files that might need to be preserved is even broader than I suggested.

I'm talking documents in a very general sense. It might be a text file, audio, video, a software installer, source code, or anything at all. > A video from the 90s that you never read or accessed in that period? Yes, a candidate for

The disagreement here seems to be about what kind of data should be considered ephemeral. Traffic logs from a decade ago? A ten-year-old package lock? I'm sure I don't care anymore. Documents I wrote in the 90s? Yeah, I might sti

I feel like Netflix has been declining for years. A decade ago, their recommendation algorithm was phenomenal. Today, both their library and their recommendations are severely lacking. I'm not sure how much longer I'll bother to s

Heirs benefit because intellectual property is inheritable in the same way as any other property, such as real estate. If I owned a valuable copyright, I'd certainly want my children to get it in the event of my death. (Though I still

I can't imagine how many future developers were originally inspired to learn programming by playing your games. A text adventure was the first thing I wanted to make when I learned BASIC on a VIC-20. Even now, I maintain an interactive

I suspect wages aren't the only thing impacting prices. External factors like material shortages and supply chain problems have also had an effect.

I only had to review Doodles since October 1 to find Yoram Gross and Ivan Piddubny (the latter of whom was exceptionally able-bodied).

Not worthless, but last I heard it was at a $9 billion valuation after receiving around $20 billion in venture capital, so not exactly a success story either.

I can vouch for Ruby's practicality as an embedded scripting language. The first time I used it was in a game engine (which, IIRC, also predated Rails) with a C++ core. Writing the high-level game logic in Ruby was pleasant, and hookin

MMORPGs have always been a mix of both. UO was definitely one of the most sandboxy, but it also demonstrated why a sandbox full of children needs a supervisor.

The article makes a lot of good points, but I disagree with the notion that source code is worthless. The true test of the source's value isn't what would happen if it got stolen. It's what would happen if it disappeared alto

I agree 100%, and often use NewEgg and Monoprice for specific needs, but there's a huge swath of stuff where I check Amazon first just because they're always competitively priced and ubiquitous. Recently, there was an appliance ac

Any example where the type is defined as something more specific than an array (especially in PHP, where the `array` type doesn't even differentiate between numerically indexed arrays and dictionaries). Regardless, I still think the ty

> You know it returns an array, but you don't know what the array contains. So you don't know how to use it. That's a limitation of your specific example, not type systems in general.

I'm still trying to make sense of this announcement. With a lack of type annotation in the Ruby core, I chose to build off YARD to make gradual type safety work. Now I don't know if there will be a standard that supports type safe

To be fair, they probably have more practical reasons for using Rust than simply to obfuscate the code.

Part of that problem might be explained by thoughtlessness, but I can think of four practical reasons: 1. "Trash" marks a spot where you intend to return. This can help ensure that you have a regular place to sleep. 2. What appear
