I'm getting great mileage out of LibreWolf on macOS (currently running Sequoia). I don't know who at Apple thought it was a great idea to permanently kill off ad blockers in Safari, but it was a terrible idea that made the world a

It doesn't matter what I value. The people who wanna hire me for jobs or invest in my fund value status. There's a reason companies hire people they don't need: to make themselves look bigger to investors and in the case of l

There is no dearth of midwittery in the non-STEM fields. I admit this is elitist and downright snobbish, but I am disgusted that somebody else can get a degree from the same university as me in a non-STEM major and piggyback off of prestige

On a humorous note OP, you seem like exactly the kind of guy who would get a kick out of this postmodern essay generator that a STEM professor wrote using a Recursive Transition Network in 1996: https://www.elsewhere.org/jou

Your comment did not deserve to be downvoted, I don't know who did it or why they did it without some kind of comment explaining their bone of contention.

You're opposed to immigration until you personally can have greater freedom or a higher standard of living somewhere else.

I'm not trying to specifically give you a hard time, but this needs to be called out in the public square until it stops being a hallmark of HN threads: you're passing off speculation and bald opinion as fact. You don't know

That's the frustration. We and nurses do something that a great many people "could" learn to do but choose not to because the job itself sucks. Not coincidentally, we are also the two specific jobs that were targeted by the H

I'm writing this reply not to the lazy commenter, but to anyone reading this thread... Yet again, we have classic HN speculation masquerading as authority. Should software developer salaries be comparable to accountants or to surgeons?

I'm writing this reply not to the lazy commenter, but to anyone reading this thread... You're just passing off your own speculation as authoritative, and you didn't even read my comment to comprehension. I didn't say we

One man's rising gas prices are another man's oil industry boom. The H1B process is unfair to engineers because it drives down their compensation in a way that doesn't affect nurses or welders. If immigration were completely

Can't we all get along? "jizz" and "gay-ass" are both perfectly good.

If a semi-retired engineer with 2-4 decades of work experience makes a better public high school STEM teacher, then I hope a lot more engineers do it as a semi-retirement gig. The aspiring career schoolteachers will just have to find a job

My university pulled the same BS 10-15 years ago. The worst part is that they sent the "test" email from the same email address they use for all of their other announcements, and then had the gall to send an automated "shame

That sounds like a good semi-retirement gig just to get out of the house for a little while. If you're teaching the tech-related electives rather than mandatory core courses, the students are likely a lot more pleasant to deal with. I

I can understand that, but it sounds more like an argument in favor of ye-olde CVS than git... Not that I ever have nor desire to manage my own git server, which would involve its own authentication and administrative tasks. Note: Before so

Fossil started as "not invented here", but it has grown into something I like a lot more than Git. Knowing how to use a version control system should be an incidental skill (akin to simple shell commands like "cp" and &q

Whoever downvoted this despite the fact that it was neither factually inaccurate nor disrespectful to another person, congrats on being an incel. P.S. My hot Japanese fiancee thinks you're pathetic too. Her exact words were: チー牛

The whole idea of making employer-sponsored health insurance tax-free but not out of pocket medical expenses is a problem in need of fixing. As things currently stand, you can only write off medical expenses that exceed 7.5% if your adjuste

I love the new colors, especially Sky Blue but why do I need my phone to be wafer thin? It's an engineering marvel, and I'm definitely not complaining, but it just seems odd to make every part of the phone except the top part whe

I couldn't help noticing you called the day to day stuff "bullshit". Which is worse: the HR bullshit or the day-to-day bullshit in one of the breadwinner teams? From an outsider's perspective, things seem miserable aroun

We need adverse possession ("squatter's rights") for intellectual property. I'm surprised copyright trolls are not buying IP from defunct game/film/music companies and suing youtubers left and right for uploadi

You should figure out who owns the copyright and report this infringement. Someone in Japan will surely be indignant about the all the lost revenue from people who are not buying a CD full of train station jingles.

I don't see how Google employees can stomach all the bureaucracy and internal drama of publicly-traded corporate politics for more than about 2 years before taking their "fuck you" money and retiring. I'm under the impre
