m3talridl3y | 9 years ago | on: The myth of using Scala as a better Java
Now the really puzzling question is: How would someone learn about this particular saying without seeing it in writing? Are there actually people still using "hear hear" in everyday speech?

Wouldn't you arrive sweaty and gross?

Not in the Bay Area. Every developer or ops person I know either has roommates or has a similar 1.5-hour commute.

At least it's not 400%.

Don't worry, 75% will go to the cost of the privilege of living in the bay area.

In the bay area the average for juniors is only 90k, and most people cap out at 120k or so, unless they have top-tier degrees, incredible negotiating skills, or something.

Fact: IRC doen't persist chat messages on the server, so to view old messages you need to install a bot that provides you with the last n messages... and you have to manually query the bot for them. No thanks. Have you people heard of this thing called "mobile"? Spotty connections are the new normal. Having the last N messages autoloaded when I view a channel is a necessity.

As a climate change believer, I'm getting worried that a lot of svientists out there are just telling us all what we want to hear. It's incredibly fun to tell people that the world is going to end in 20 tears due to climate change, but if the truth is that it's end in 500 years, then doctoring the facts to make things seem more dire is dangerous.

MicroMasters? Is that like a Bachelor's without calling it a Bachelor's, so people keep paying exorbitant amounts of money to attend physical classes to ultimately get a piece of paper? Ok MIT.

Well duh. If we don't need degrees to create computer programs, then why would someone need a degree for any other job in the world, which just involve pushing buttons on software programs we create?

Does anyone have any tips on determining if a given CPU core will fit onto a given FPGA? Most of the boards in the hobbyist price range seem kinda ... underwhelming.

I always found it odd that houses have one job - to keep varmint out, and they fail so miserably

I think the real reasons are: Unity, Unreal Engine, HTML5, etc. People who would want to contribute never find BFW, instead they make their own games and satisfy their creativity that way.

We've failed as a culture to inform people that this can and will happen. No matter how trendy a company is, if there's a hint of releasing teade secrets or using company resources for side jobs - you're out.

There are perfectly good test tracks out there, that'll let you screw around to your heart's content. Hell, drive around a walmart parking lot at 3am if you have to. Doing this on public roads? Sorry, you need to follow the laws like the rest of us.
