Yeah, i just signed a contract for a senior engineering role, starting at the end of the month. It wasn't hard for me to find, either. Competitive pay and benefits.

So you can't handle someone suggesting that what you said is (honestly and objectively) dickish and maybe the real source of your problem, but you can outright call others' hard work "interference" and it's all grav

God damn dude. Maybe you piss them off because you call their contributions “interference”. Honestly this is one of the most dickish things I could imagine saying about a colleague’s work.

The tip isn’t the price of delivering the order though, you’re conflating the price and the tip into the same thing, which they’re not. For the record, I’ve been a delivery driver before. Getting tipped at all was amazing, so I literally ca

I've had delivery drivers give me my order only after explicitly telling me to tip more - which was frustrating because I actually increased my tip from $5 suggested by the app to $7 cause it was a snowy night. Some people won't

If they ask for it :shrug: also their tld is literally .gay so I think they’re pretty aware of what they’re asking for with their pronoun preference.

It’s also just far easier to use a plural pronoun to refer to a singular person to reflect the idea that you’re talking about their whole persona, brand, work, etc… and not just specifically the human being, IMO.

It is an objectively true remark on the increasing trend of book bans that discuss specifically race and intersectional topics in the United States. Here (1) is as apolitical a source I can find that discusses this phenomenon. 1: https:&#x

This isn’t a throwaway? Just because I’m new doesn’t mean I can’t make a good point.

Yeah didn’t realize that GitHub labeled it it’s own language either! Neat.

There was a front page of HN post just a few days ago about a college student developing exactly that tool. As you can imagine it’s a hard problem but there is absolutely going to be value in it.

The author disclosed it in the first line of the article, albeit in a joke about death row records. Looks like someone needs to brush up on their west coast rap discography.

I have been writing lot of small libraries as a way to flex technical muscles. Small as in “finished in a day” small. It might be worth considering. Also, learning a new language or tool is always a good idea.

Y’all need to be reminded of Go’s wisdom to share memory by communicating instead of communicating by sharing memory.

Let's slingshot a probe to it and find out! I'm only half-kidding. I think it would be super worthwhile to do, though. Especially to attempt to solve the mystery of why it sped up by 17 m/s for no visible reason.

"Visit" to me means either they entered or observed our solar system with some decent degree of resolution. Enough to get a baseline of information about us, I think.

by distortionfield 4y ago
I firmly believe that the chance humans have been visited by aliens is (admittedly) slim but _not non-zero_. I would say the chance has a few leading zeros of precision, and I understand that the universe is _huge_, but by the same logic, t

I settled on a pretty similar stack for a browser based TCG simulator last year. Redis with Go, GraphQL and Vue; its a speedy development stack.

Agreed, it doesn’t even seem worth considering solar given the scales necessary but people are fearful creatures.

My thought was similar for land based versions of this too. Their quote about the engineering difficulties being soluble in cheap electricity seems like coupling this to nuclear is a no brainer (assuming the US government can streamline nuc

That's legit that you helped out your friend like that. I've had people look at me like I'm crazy for doing similar things for friends. A rising tide raises all boats.

Are gruvbox[1] themes paying homage to these amber monitors? I've never seen these before but it immediately reminds me of Gruvbox colors. [1] https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/67771985/119880097...

Hard agree. Books present a single, complete tour of a concept. More and more lately I find myself just buying the best recommended book on a topic instead of trying to piece together my own journey of understanding. I’m working my way thro
