Very true on the having kids part. But you typically have 7 years of your life before you reach 30. Probably contributes to the logan's run effect you see in SV tech companies ;) What I've seen from colleagues with kids is the sp

Canada has training requirements for other low income jobs, and the kids take them even if your just going to work part time. For example, you usually need to take a 1 day foodsafe course to work somewhere like mcdonalds: http://

It's part of an overall trend. For example the gatekeeper security settings ux has slowly been removing options to run unsigned binaries bit by bit. In 10.12 there is no obvious way on how to run unsigned binaries now. When you doubl

Most ad blocking is about intercepting specific urls, which can work at a layer below javascript. They can also do server side ads and make the url indistinguishable from another image asset. They haven't, so it isn't 'dire&

Don't do it, the compile & indexing times alone as your code scales up get pretty bad. The debugger also just crashes when your codebase gets big and becomes uselessly slow when it doesn't. Backends have far more code than a

I think your 10s transaction is about equivalent to an unconfirmed bitcoin transaction or credit card authorization. How often is the actual bank-to-bank transfer? The fact that there is an arbitrary money amount shows it's more of a f
