Sure. What was the rate of homebuilding to job growth in NYC and other major metro areas in the US? I am not trying to be snarky, I actually agree with you. I just simply don't have that data on hand right now. But I am aligned with yo

That link you shared is counting the number of units build per 1k existing units. Given how dense and populated NYC is (aka how many existing units there are), this metric isn't as meaningful. I believe the grandparent comment was talk

Isn’t Windsurf a VSCode-based IDE anyway (just like Cursor)? Basing it off the screenshots from their website. I haven’t tried it, but if it is similar to Cursor (which I tried), then it hardly counts as “moving off VSCode”, which was one o

I feel like we broadly agree and are just griping over the semantics of what “made up my mind” means. > argumentation becomes boring once you are at the point where you feel there is nothing left that you can learn Agreed, but here is th

Agreed, I would not start an argument in favor of 1+1=2, just like I wouldn’t start an argument about sky being blue on a sunny day, because most people would just agree with me. The whole point of an argument is exploring ideas and learnin

by filoleg 2y ago
Using your specific example: I consider my mind to be made up on 1+1=2, because I have zero idea what kind of a new information one could bring up to make me consider 1+1 not being equal 2. I am open to someone making such a point, I just c

Those reasons you mentioned make perfect logical sense to me, and are exactly what I saw myself. None of those reasons have anything to do with the congress stepping-in due to the concerns of Meta/Google/etc. conspiring with PRC,

Major thanks for the clarification at the end. I was surprised to see how little discussion that white house post generated on HN, given how anything related to krebsonsecurity tends to be a hit here. Makes sense now.

Every single work backround check I ever had in the US included that. I do not think it lists all former employers ever tho, only those from the past 7 years iirc. In fact, I got a copy of it back too, where it listed even some of the jobs

i am wondering, how would that even work for any subsequent jobs, past the first set of multiple jobs done at once? A pre-employment background check (which you typically do after accepting an offer and right before starting the job) would

Violating an employment contract is not a criminal issue, it is a civil issue at best. The most they can realistically do to you for violating that section is just firing you. I don’t see them trying to collect the “damages” in the civil co

100% agreed. I’ve seen way more than enough people in poorly-fitting expensive suits to last me a lifetime, and it is just painful to watch. The main benefit of a suit is that it can be easily tailored to fit a person perfectly, which isn’t

That’s a fair point, but I am not sure how it is relevant, unless devs at mom&pop shops/legacy businesses/etc. and those outside of the US work more than the US lawyers (or any other highly-paid white collar job) or have barri

Agreed. We don’t even need to reach for the apples to oranges comparisons with manual labor jobs, just gotta look at anyone working another highly paid white collar job. Compare working in big law to big tech, and it will be plain as day. A

SharePoint is where the real money and fun stuff is at. How do you think the likes of Delta and McDonalds manage their intranet and document storage? OneDrive is just a glorified SharePoint feature. P.S. Joking only partially, and not much

I think the grandparent comment meant keeping unhydrated during storage (for future uses of emergency drying electronics), not while it is being actively used for its intended purpose.

Good point about apple modem, but I’d mentioned the ARM transition (aka Apple Silicon). Edited the original reply just now to use both names for it.
