It's hard to sympathize with people feeling isolated because they're rich. They could at any time remedy their situation and return to the world of normal people. They choose to be in that situation.

The rise of self driving technology seems to be coming at a very convenient time. For example: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/06/aurora-aur-werner-enterprise...

Even more shocking, is why someone would hand 17 million dollars worth of assets to a random company that has no security apparently.

It's an endless cycle, honestly. We have shipping deadlines we can't miss, so we write some code we're not proud of. Then we do our best to live with it until it's hard to continue. This triggers a refactor that snowb

I love this idea. I really hope your technology is more widely adopted.

Your friends and family won't judge you poorly for this. Don't worry. Early in my career I lost a job at a startup and it also shook me up. I say "lost" because I asked if I was fired or laid off and they said I could

"<Snake> is slower than <GPU>" kind of makes sense, though when it comes to math.

You can still use it. It's just not a default.

Honestly, your first problem you need to solve is getting back home. Google has no way to distinguish between an overseas hacker trying to get into your account vs your current situation. You currently have no way to prove your ownership.

LOL a long time ago I had a similar problem with Words With Friends. The app somehow never seemed to sleep. Even when plugged into a 2A charger, my phone would slowly drain.

Yep, I'm planning to try for some sort of semi-retirement before retiring completely. If there are such positions, I would be interested at that point.

I don't think this is particularly common at least among people I know. When people in the industry aren't happy with their job, they find a new job. If they aren't happy with the whole industry, they usually change to a di

"the progenitor of known SARS-CoV-2 sequences likely contained three mutations relative to the market viruses that made it more similar to SARS-CoV-2’s bat coronavirus relatives." So sort of. The virus existed somewhere before th

I suppose the easiest is to find a job that pays 150k/year. But more seriously, you could flip houses if you have enough capital or access to it. This is not surefire at all, though.

Hah same here. I always imagined that it would be crazy if people always happened to survive in the universes they inhabited.

Which is why it's hilarious that Russian state propaganda says that Ukraine is a dictatorship and that they are there to liberate them. LOL

For me, music helps me focus. It helps block out distracting sounds and keeps me energized.

It's hard to concentrate when my kids are screaming and crying. It harder to communicate with coworkers since you can't just stroll by their desk to talk. It's harder to do certain parts of my job because of dedicated hardwar

Well, they're both old. Many people around my age have seen them both. Maybe they're just before your time.

Well, once you get more comfortable in a codebase, you will start to get a broader view of where it needs to improve. That's the point where you can start being the architect behind new creations.

Strange, I don't see the setting on my Pixel 4 on Android 12. Does anyone know what versions of Android have this?

Yeah, that's as believable as Facebook saying they can't read your messages.

Yep, this story sounds like an attempt to get social media pressure on Upwork to try to get them to cave. I mean if Robin used someone else's card to pay, he never paid anyone for the services he received. So it sounds like instead of

Well, people who flaunt their money are simply not that pleasant to be around. My friends and I have varying degrees of financial success but we don't really talk about money related issues much. If they are your friends, you can tell
