> bankruptcy would be a start?

Yes. This is the start and the end. Bankruptcy will stop lenders from making predatory loans. It puts risk on both sides.

Tuition costs will naturally (and quickly) drop. Because there will be fewer people able to pay a crazy loan fueled price without a crazy loan given to them.

To be very intentional you could share the target racial distribution you aim for in the work place. Hard percentages. Ideally the racial distribution should match the distribution of potential applicants in the market for your job.

If you take merit into account, it could cause an imbalance. For example you may end up with too many Hispanics or women due to their high merit.

inertia. Easier to keep movement going than to start it.

You know what you forgot. Most others don't even know what they don't know.

If it's the kind of work you want to do, I'd say stick with it.

Not a daily thing. I do the "Rite of Passage" workout from the book "Enter the Kettlebell". Lots 1 arm military presses, cleans, and pullups.

It uses a rep scheme called "ladders". Ladders allow you to sneak in a high number of reps overall, even using heavy weights. Plenty of rest between sets. On the heavy day you end up doing 75 clean/press with heavy weight per arm. And 75 pullups. I never realized there was so many reps until i actually added it all up.

Don't need a book. Only need 3 sentences.

--Avoid sugary drinks.

--Avoid desert foods like cake, donuts, etc.

--Don't over eat.

Good 2 go 4 life.

Many versions of notepad++ phone home, so be careful what you type.

Emacs.

Keybinders dream. Custom functions easy to whip up and assign to a key. It has a few arcane keybind ideas like hydra, that aren't even on the radar of other IDEs. The hydra takes vim, spanks it, and sends it to bed.

The place Emacs traditionally falls short as an IDE is intelligent code completion. But with LSP this will get better.

They wouldn't give birth to a human. Just another monkey with a mutation that may (or may not) give it an advantage to survive long enough to reproduce. Over several hundred generations you can get a very different animal.

A good example is dogs. Humans controlled their breeding to promote certain attributes. Resulting in new types of animals that never existed in the wild.

Gotta give yourself cancer and premature wrinkly skin if you want to boost your immune system. No pain no gain.

The moment they can read. Sure you can literally define structures and processes before that, but doing the real deal on a computer before you can read... is going to be a disaster.

You need to read your own code to get your bearings of where you are in the file. Anything more complex than 5 instructions is a no-go for non-readers.

Start reading the built in docs. They are pretty good.
