> You are paid based on how difficult you are to replace

May be true in general but definitely is unrelated to location based pay (wouldn't it be easier to higher another faceless IC in the bay area than in OKC?)

Somewhat unrelated but Citi's software has been ... not very good from my perspective as a customer. The app is crashing/down frequently, as is the website.

Which seems pretty smelly to me from the outside.

Why is this?

Is there a reason to not trust levels.fyi data? Or is this more focused on startups?

Just an FYI, your infrastructure and machine learning engineering positions are dead links.

Mumble is pretty crummy for text chat from my experience. I still use it for voice on a fairly frequent basis, but having very ephemeral text logs (on client restart), and a lack of pinging users makes it a huge pain to use for text.

I would happily still use IRC however.

The "preview" button at the top of the page goes to a form to enter my email for "book updates".

I'd be interested in reading a sample, does the book updates form provide one?

It's probably set up like that to mirror vim bindings, after all, "J" does look __sort of__ like a down arrow.

Also I'm not sure how useful it is to test people on remembering minutiae of a system on the fly. How often are you correct about small details of a system you work with on a daily basis on the first try?

They even used to (somewhat) recently. Rocket League (UE3) ran in linux.

How do you interpret less people owning a greater percentage of overall wealth as a less bleak picture?

Do you know any "absolute minimum you must know about Unicode" articles that do go into enough depth?

My university recently implemented a system where some majors (CS/Engineering/Buisness) students would have to pay ~20% more per semester.

Mine is 4.77, though I don't use uber that much. I'm also pretty sure they display a recent average, with old (>1 year?) rides not counting.

I also feel compelled to give drivers 5 stars because people IMO tend to look down at anything less than the best. I realize it's not the most accurate comparison, but would you buy from an ebay/amazon reseller who had a 80% approval rating?

Keep in mind that when a general hears that a soldier can loose 10 lbs of batteries, in his mind that means 10 more pounds of bullets.

Do all of your jobs require a clearance?

> 2. Give them a playground to fail - Offload any non-business critical tasks and let them make mistakes. No one I know ever learnt programming without making any mistakes. Immediately tell them about best practices and how to avoid such mistakes in future.

I think even more importantly is to encourage failure, or at least reporting it. How many times have you been ecstatic that you managed to get a program to crash differently? A lot of people are terrified of failure, but people probably learn better from their mistakes. And showing them that it's ok (even encouraged) to report what their stuck on to you means that they can potentially get a quicker solution, learn from you.

Which is worse than 56%

You can always use a fake name/city/etc and store that in your pm.

It's certainly an interesting finding, but I wonder if there are any long term implications of it? Especially as swimming should be easier on the knees than running is.

Were you affected by the recent government shutdown?

I'm not sure that anyone would argue that programming languages are anywhere near human language.

Though the article is in response to allowing CS/programming classes to count towards foreign language credit in highschool, which is a potential way to get more kids involved with programming. Though given the efficacy of foreign language programs in highschool I'm not sure CS would do any better...

<tinfoil> I always assumed they were selling user data. People talk about a lot of sensitive/private stuff on there for some reason, and they self-select into communities they're interested in. Also it looks like they're hiring a lot of data scientists[0], though that could be for other reasons. </tinfoil> [0] https://discordapp.com/jobs

That is really interesting, though IIRC the dev of df doesn't use any reasonable sort of cvs, and I got the impression that the source code was essentially enough spaghetti to feed an Italian wedding.

That should be fine, though I'm pretty sure I have some episodes that are above that.

2.5GB file limit is a bit small for good quality TV shows (and especially movies).

Seeing those numbers honestly reaffirms that wages are lower in Europe. I know a lot of people who out of college are making $100K+ USD working for FAANG.

It's really surprising that a large teleco woudln't even supply their own computers... Do they make people install management software on their personal computers, or just not care?

I'd guess that the race/gender percentages you have or more so from where you're interacting with stcredzero than there name.
