I'm a C++ guy who prefers `int*`. I also hate multiple declarations on a single line so I just outlaw that entirely so I never have an issue with declaration correctness.

My desktop is on whether I'm reading the article or not so those costs can be factored out too.

Yes, that's because I was using the word "stuck" metaphorically. I choose to be stuck because I actually find the benefits of being stuck to outweigh the costs. If I lost my job it probably wouldn't take me 24 hours to p

How's the work/life balance these days? Are 60-80 hour work weeks still the norm?

I find it completely baffling that it's your dream to work for SpaceX but you're unwilling to relocate? I'm stuck in the bay area (which I absolutely despise) because of my job, but I get to write flight software for spacecra

I check Instagram most days and I had never heard of Instagram TV before this post. They can't possibly have been shoving it down everyone's throats that aggressively.

I've done a ton of electrical work for my own benefit over the years and I'm perfectly comfortable doing things like swapping switches with live wires. I've never once had a problem. The one and only time I've fucked up

I don't know about Washington, but in Oregon if it has electrical you need permits. Full stop. It's absolutely not on the buyer. It's on the buyer to do their due diligence, but it is certainly unethical, if not illegal to se

Are you speaking specifically about Washington state? I don't know the details up there, but I can tell you from experience that this isn't at all true in Oregon (both personally for my own property and from occasionally helping

I think for that kind of thing to work, they would have had to actually know what they're doing.

The word "permit" is suspiciously absent from this story, and adding a well would most certainly have required permits. Probably a lot of things they did required permits, but if the narrative is accurate it doesn't seem like

Depending on the exact location, you can get land for as little as $1000/acre in central Oregon. $12,000/acre isn't impressive at all for off-the-grid non-farmable land.

Literally every locality I have ever had any interaction with on the West coast falls into one of two categories: 1) Is a major metropolitan area (LA, OC, SF, SV, Seattle, a few others) 2) Self identifies as the meth-capital of <state&gt

Yeah, seriously. I'm a bit shocked that it's even legal for them to sell this cabin. Surely permits should have been required somewhere along the way?

What age do you have to verify? Don't you already have to be an adult to sign up for service?

The airlines have always been extremely cyclical and insecure.

by 0xffff2 6y ago
Ah, actually that sounds pretty much exactly the same, except I've only ever been redirected once or twice. I think the only difference is that I didn't realize that it would eventually force you to sign up.

How do those work over there? We have both in the US as well, but I've always refused to use them because signing up for either seems to transfer a significant chunk of the liability for fraudulent transactions away from the bank and o

I travel a decent amount in the Western US, mostly in California and Oregon. I have never once encountered this.

Why "air force" for a civilian research aircraft?

For a start, laser printers have become incredibly cheap. I bough a Brother all-in-one color laser printer about 10 years ago and it's still going. I don't print much so I think I've only had to replace the black toner cartri

Haven't seen the one in DC, but I've been within arms reach of one of the old NASA SR-71's that's on display (not accessible to the public unfortunately) several times. "Small" is just about the last word I wou

We really only have a few ways to generate electricity: - PV solar generates electricity more or less directly - Wind turbines use mechanical energy from the wind to spin a turbine - Hydro converts potential energy to kinetic energy to spin

Do construction trades count as "skilled people" in the immigration context in Japan? Usually when I hear "skilled" in that context I think of doctors and PhD researchers.

I was firmly in favor of working for the office pre-pandemic because my organization's WFH infrastructure wasn't really there yet despite a pretty liberal policy allowing us to WFH pretty much whenever we wanted to. Post-pademic,

Wouldn't it make financial sense for the great majority of people to take as many loans as possible and then immediately declare bankruptcy the day after graduating? Most people don't have any meaningful assets at the end of unive

Well, I stand corrected. That's both surprising and an incredible feat of airmanship by the pilots! Since I love reading about these kinds of incidents and the best way to solve a problem is to claim it's impossible, I amend my cl
