I'm all for "learning for the sake of learning", but the federal government doesn't need to subsidize it. Losing federal aid is not the same as not permitting colleges to run the programs at all. Supply/demand is still alive and well.

> Save a vibe today and send an IM instead of an email thread.

I would rather the email honestly. IMs usually have the expectation that I'm going to respond to you "soon", which is an interruption/distraction. And they don't contain enough information so I have to start going back and forth with the other person.

At least with email, most people recognize that you will respond in your own timing in the next 24-48 hours. With IM I've found that expectation out the window.

Save the distraction. Send an email.

Too much domain knowledge for an IDE to catch. I'm self taught as well, and it comes down to spending more time thinking about the code than writing the code.

It's a fairly simple thought experiment to ask yourself what if there was 10x items in this array? 100x? That is essentially what the O(n) notation is trying to quantify. You just don't need to do it that formally.

This is a plague on both houses. People want stability and reliability, not drama. And what they're getting feels and awful lot like drama.

This makes me _not_ want to get a Tesla, just to avoid the inconvenience of getting my car towed because of what it _might_ have inside of it. And the opposite, doing what Ring is doing and simply streaming it to the police directly, might be easier but I still believe a major privacy concern.

Sure, it could be helpful. But at what cost?

This seems to be a fancy App/API surrounding Stoplight's Spectral library (https://docs.stoplight.io/docs/spectral/674b27b261c3c-overvi...), which is heavily relied upon (https://github.com/zuplo/rate-my-openapi/blob/main/apps/api/...) and not called out anywhere in the documentation.

When I originally looked at it, I assumed that there was going to be some collaboration or other form of discussion tool to help others navigate your spec file and provide feedback. As it is, it doesn't feel like its adding the much value.

> Every currently rich person has done...

That's a pretty broad statement to make, especially with the implication that the only way you can become rich is by basically committing borderline fraud.

If you want to get rich, spend less, save and invest more. Nothing about that is fraudulent, and many would argue you'd have a more fulfilling life in the process.

I agree - they are exercising the principle of opportunity cost. While most parents probably would make more than the $700 / month, the value might simply not be worth it.

I remember a study that concluded that in reality, there is a cap on how much additional money improves your day-to-day life. And if a family is already past that on one income, why do you need two?

Was also looking for a color legend. I can generally understand the different colors/layers, but was initially confused.

Text that explains exactly what each color refers to would be helpful.

Being pro-Small Business doesn’t meant you have to be pro-Advertising. Facebook makes a killing taking money from small businesses through advertising, yet it is consistently one of the lowest ROI marketing techniques, not to mention generally creates the worst UX.

Can you build a successful business on advertising? Yes. But I’d argue that you don’t need to. Almost every service I pay for came to me by word of mouth. That takes time and effort to cultivate, but it isn’t affected by a software update. Or me wanting to not share my personal data.

  Many homes have wall hangings with scripture that the owner has never read in the bible.

People quote literature they haven't read all over the place[1]. Implying its unique to the Bible means you probably haven't done your research either.

  In practice, it is far more common to see the Bible quoted as a small snippet meant to re-enforce some other point.

Any seriously complex work is very often quoted/cited as a small snippet meant to re-enforce another point. Speeches, books, statistics, other religious doctrines. In all of these cases, you can easily misinterpret the quote if you don't understand its origin.

The only reason the Bible is slightly different in this context is because the reference system has been formalized as being the best selling book in history means sometimes font sizes are gonna change.

You might have well just said:

  In practice, it is far more common to see [anything] quoted as a small snippet meant to re-enforce some other point.

I find it impressive that the last recorded entry was in 2017. Over 3 years, and given the security-centric nature of the audience, I'd imagine if there were more flaws we'd see them reported.

Sometimes building some simple is the best way to build something secure.

Fantastic. I was just telling the commentor before you that I do not have a military background. I'm glad you could weigh in. That makes complete sense.

That is absolutely a fair point. Speaking as someone who does not have military experience, I can't speak to it. But it would make sense that if you have the time to wait for them to repeat the phrase, that the longer phrase "SAY AGAIN" could be used.

Whereas "REPEAT" might not involve the time luxury.

My favorite part of this article is the reason for saying "SAY AGAIN" instead of "REPEAT".

  The word "REPEAT" should not be used in place of "SAY AGAIN", 
  especially in the vicinity of naval or other firing ranges, 
  as "REPEAT" is an artillery proword defined in ACP 125 U.S. 
  Supp-2(A) with the wholly different meaning of "request for the 
  same volume of fire to be fired again with or without corrections 
  or changes" (e.g., at the same coordinates as the previous round).[12]

You'd think something as destructive as artillery fire might be given a slightly longer and less common word...

Fortunately, Github is built on a distributed system that doesn't require us to stop coding just because we can't access a central server.

Distributed systems for the win!

Why only complain about something when you remember to press a button?

At some point, someone is just going to hook up a decibel meter and automatically press the button when it hits a threshold. It might file a couple of bad complaints, but if the noise difference is significant, you could definitely increase your throughput.

I'd rather just have my life together for a couple centuries and not have the pressure of having to get it together later.

Plus, can you imagine the compound interest? :)
