Is compensation really strictly less with a 20% pay cut? I'm from the midwest and I have a hard time wrapping my head around the compensation differences. Google-able "cost of livi…

I worked at a dining hall at a state university all 4 years, just graduated this spring. Some food was really good, some was mediocre, never inedible. If the hot line didn't have a…

Naively, wouldn't a blank check for a semester ecourage universities to raise prices even higher?

Do they have Docker? Jupyter maintains a few docker images with various parts of the scientific stack.

I think they would definitely also want to send ~5 seconds of the plain audio. Freely available speech to text probably wouldn't recognize local business names. But either way it's…

This is the approach I've taken, albeit at the "top level" of the program. Since I know I don't have to deal with Windows I much prefer simply piping to parallel instead of xargs, …

There is an extension called "I don't care about cookies" [1] that takes care of those. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-a...

Now if only there was a CLI tool to convince my coworkers that storing secrets in git is a bad idea.

I Grew up near a rez in ND, my dad worked at the tribal college for as long as I can remember. Open enrollment does help. A sizable chunk of the local public school population live…

I had a similarly titled class at a no-name state school. I think the professor mentioned something about ACM recommending/requiring the course, so it should be pretty widespread. …

I see where you're coming from, and hey, the thing works. Not everything is perfect, but the Stream API could definitely be better. I agree it would be nice to have a consistent in…

First job out of school my coworker was talking about how nice dotnet Stream API was. I had a Stream. Streams have Position. A GZipStream is a Stream. A GZipStream does not have po…

Anecdotal, but I remember ~4 years ago working at Walmart as a summer job. The handheld scanners (telzon/gemini) you see employees with would boot to SUSE. A lot of back office sof…

I think GP is referring to the Gnome Virtual File System (GVfs) [1], which has a number of pluggable backends, one of which being Google Drive. I've used it lightly and it seemed t…

Damn. My bad for not reading the post carefully. One would hope there would be other recourse than negative online reviews.

It'd be really shocking to me if this happened in the US without some prior history/grounds for eviction. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I'm pretty sure most states have pretty pro-tenant…

Were you searching for things like "powershell -filter"? That would exclude every result containing "filter" [1] [1] https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?hl=en

I really wish I had enough karma to downvote this. Sure, using "free" ad funded services doesn't cost any money, but a price is still paid. Do you really think there is 0 possible …

I'm really hoping they're only blocking PR's from non-collaborators if the PR description is empty. Requiring someone to be a collaborator on a repository to open a PR is a step ba…

I believe a bunch of legislation has language regarding being "aware" and "knowingly facilitating." Safe harbor goes out the window if you know things are going on and do nothing. …

Do vim's folds give you a full literate programming environment with support for executing code, saving results in vars, WEB syntax, etc? From what I'm familiar with, vim's folding…

Low average life span had a lot more to do with high infant mortality rate. It wasn't that most people were dead by 40, just that a lot more were dead by 5. If you made it through …

I'm in my second semester of abstract algebra, and my professor has mentioned a few times that there should really be a movie made about Galois. "It's like if Good Will Hunting was…
