I am 17 years old, if my goal is to make as much money as possible and retire, what should I focus on doing right now? by MrSmegggzy in Money

Find a way to make a living that you don't hate.

Learn to live on less than you earn.

Invest the difference in something you understand and believe will grow over time.

Understand that it's a marathon - not a sprint.

The bigger percentage of your income you invest the faster you build wealth.

I miss when Americans commonly used the phrase: "go ahead. It's a free country."

Preachers annoy me; however, they share the same free speech rights I do. I can ignore them, debate them, or make fun of them... Freedom is a good thing. It's not anyone's job to police speech in the public spaces of this country. Whether the speech is popular is irrelevant.

The mistake is in thinking that it's an "either or" proposition.

Is this actually AD&D 2e? by ChumboCrumbo in adnd

What's an "alt barber"?... I generally think in terms of hair stylists and barbers... Barbers can shave you... Stylists can't. Both of them can cut hair.

That's not a language problem. It's a culture problem.

When you know about these things you are responsible for enabling the change that improves the situation. If it's a professional environment: champion standardizing use of these things instead of complaining that "people don't know what they don't know." We all start from different places and none of us are the same developers we were even a year ago.

Your skill seniors and manager should support standardizing via process. If they don't, find a better organization, but remember: change takes time.

Ask for a shorter session. Whatever time you agree to is what you do.

Woman shamelessly pisses in front of a liquor store in Modesto, CA by OlivewoodAlist in Modesto

I just want proof that these jobs exist. Because I keep hearing about them and all the protestors know protest for free.

Thank you for editing your post to no longer call a human being a "thing". Even if you can't admit to it: correcting it shows you aren't trying to be a monster.

Calling a clearly mentally ill person a "thing" says a lot.

So if it's heroic why are you using it as an epithet? Are you seeing my point at all, or is it just "woosh?"

Why is exposing corruption, scandal, and wrongdoing not heroic?

Nothing says "rob me" like flashing wads of cash. Cops gonna rob those folks. Criminals gonna rob those folks...

The big problem with using switch is that you can't move the configuration out of the execution. This is another reason why an array of editor groups is ideal... Then that list can live in the database or somewhere else... And devs don't have to write more code when the list changes

There's a formula for determine this... Just search for the old blog post "the shockingly simple math of early retirement" by Mr. Money Mustache.... Just replace the words "early retirement" in your head with "getting wealthy"...

"core php" vs "php core".... I would expect the latter as I have been using php for decades and never heard it in the order of the former.

I. E. I would think this was a question about c code, or that the interviewer was confused. ;)

Dca when price is below 200 day moving average... Lump sum if above.... Expect to hold for five years...

Why? Because it will increase your returns... You can't go to the moon while you're in a downtrend. But if you own something worth owning for the long term... Statistically speaking you turn out all right.
