Sorry to hear about your break up, hope you're doing ok.

I effectively agree with the "destination", so to speak, of this post, but disagree with the path taken to get there. In general when I ship projects in the context of the org I with for, I _do_ meet the requirements of higher-ups

That's a good point, but I don't believe it scales at the same rate -- meaning I believe the salaries are much higher than the living costs. Eg average us salary is probably somewhere around 60k. Let's say single bedroom apa

Since whole foods and organic food has kind of always been a bit more expensive, I wonder if maybe that didn't see the same rise. My prices are coming from fresh food/store brands from Wal Mart, No Frills, Food Basics mainly. Actu

That seems a little much; Google has had such a huge number of software employees, that it seems unwise to draw assumptions about everyone based on what I imagine has been a much smaller sample size than the total that you've personall

It's less about comparing to your ancestors, more your peers in other industries. If you're getting payed say $40/h, that's muuuuch more than most other jobs, and can give you a comfortable living for quite a while. I ag

I'm not sure I agree with this. The breaking projects before completion is very annoying, but also the author seems like they were only there for a promotion? I mean a promotion is nice, but it was never really explained why that was s

That visual shows that road transport is 11% , making it the second highest category, as the poster said. This is a great graphic though, thanks for sharing! Edit: actually in the graphic it's the largest sector! My bad

I'm in Canada, but anecdotally, in 2019 I wouldn't buy tomatoes if they were over 0.99/lb . Meanwhile today, I bought some at 2.49/lb, and only see them below 1.99/lb maybe once every 4 mo. Similarly cucumbers I&#x2

My guess would be what they meant was that they should quit. Ie either you respect the intelligence/morallity of the people who you want to vote for you, or maybe you shouldn't be trying to represent them. And not quit as in leave

Ah I see what you mean; I agree, for longer travel, you'd be budgeting the train more as part of your vacation as opposed to travel towards a destination. Personally, I want to take the Chicago to SF train, and do a few day stops in va

This is true, 100% agree. But I do think with more people being remote now as compared to five years ago, zephyr as a destination might resonate with more people now, since folks can be more flexible with their timing.

Trains aren't that expensive, at least in coach. Eg a trip from San Francisco to Reno for Jan 15th is $69 flying, or $72 by train riding coach. If you get a private room, then it's expensive, $430 ! And I've also found you do

by cdrini 2y ago
Ah that's a shame! Haha yeah, I've found I've got to be a bit more flexible with timings, I've only taken the train a handful of times, but have already experienced a cancellation, and, separately, multi hour delay. But

by cdrini 2y ago
Yeah I get that sentiment. My concern is that the ways in which the train system would grow to handle the new scale might be non-ideal. Eg it would probably be higher prices, more packed trains, smaller seats, long before it's what I i

It's less the transit creators I'm worried about, since that's pretty niche. It's if a general influencer starts sharing aesthetics of train travel on eg Instagram which I think would cause its usage to boom.

I've taken the California zephyr a few times over the last few years and it's a phenomenal experience. I'm hoping to do the Chicago-San Francisco trip in the coming years. My fear is that some influencer/personality is g

The 49 euro ticket is a phenomenally good deal. Normal transit tickets vary per city, but for example in Berlin it's 3.50 per trip. So if you take transit twice a day for 7 days, you already recoup the cost of the Deutschland ticket, w

Some chat GPT research on some of the citation needed claims. There are some potential biological pathways, but more research needed to verify if/how these are actually applicable: https://chatgpt.com/share/670a798

Although 3.1 also meets that criteria. And even with python 2, the dependencies could still update. The main thing is that it's the not-updating that will make your code run forever (on any system, language, version), not the fact that

I think the people decide; if folks like a certain word, they'll start using it, creating traction. A natural selection of words of sorts. Then the dictionaries, being non-prescriptive, will have to add those words since they're n

That argument still seems inconsistent to me, since saying "use python 2, pin your dependences and never upgrade python so your script runs forever" is the same as "use python 3.12, pin your dependences and never upgrade pyth

Hahaha within reason!! I want to see eg authors just introduce new words in books, like Shakespeare. New words shouldn't generally make the language less internally consistent (goodness knows English has enough of a problem with that a

Strong agree. As a kid, I remember I'd have to pause for like 5s every time I wrote "it's" or "its" to try to remember what was correct. And it doesn't help that what I'd usually remember is "wel
