A joke, in other words. I didn't think it was "illegal" anywhere in the US. I'm glad to see other countries take it more seriously.

I saw one of those “mind blown!” sorts of posts on Facebook the other day that I haven’t been able to really reconcile in my head because it both makes sense and doesn’t make sense. The gist was that if everybody is paying with credit cards

A rare-interesting UX problem with people thinking the screen froze. I guess it’s easily solved, but there are surely many ways to solve it.

But there are plenty of documented cases where heavy smoking for around 30 years = cancer. I have to wonder if cigarettes of the 50s are different from the cigarettes of today. Perhaps, for example, some additive(s) not present in the 50s c

That’s probably an exception. My understanding is that usually insurance companies charge MUCH more if you smoke.

by gymbeaux 4y ago
You both could be right. Especially in places like NYC, cigs are very expensive.

Where is it illegal to smoke with a child in the car? Not to get political but we can’t even get people in the US to agree to a bump stock ban.

I was just there in 2021 and the smell was at least as present as it was in 2011 when I was there last. I think if anything, they’ve cut back on the ventilation to save money.

Those ventilation systems in Vegas casinos are running at half power or something. I was there in 2011 and 2021 and it seemed like the indoor air was much lousier in 2021. I couldn’t walk from my hotel room to outside without ending up smel

This is fair rebuttal, but consider that MOST SWEs, remote or no, make somewhere between ~$100k and ~$170k, and MOST SWEs do NOT get severance when they lose their job involuntarily. Base salary between FAANG and non-FAANG is not so differe

I don't think it was easy in the 1800s, I think it was easier. Now people are very materialistic, and in debt. Most of us need cars to live. We'd have to give up more now, to strike and unionize, than we did in the 1800s I think.

Yes and no. It seems like employees are paying for the mistakes of the CEOs. Take Google- Pichai hired too many people, so he made some vague threat about underperformers knowing who they are and needing to resign, then announced layoffs. S

I don’t see why not! Thanks for not banning me outright.

Nobody making below $10M/year believes in the "free market system". I don't want free markets, I want unions.

By the time the SWEs need to unionize it will be too late

by gymbeaux 4y ago
I’m all for unionizing, but most people lack the balls/will/whatever you want to call it. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and the banks owns their cars and homes, so it’s much harder to unionize now than it was in the 180

So far it’s very interesting and enlightening. It’s true- the more shit we try to get done, the less shit we get done, and that’s emotionally and physically draining.

I sometimes interview just to stay somewhat sharp. I interview with Amazon every time they ask, which is every 6-12 months, and they actually gave me Leetcode Hard last go around in October. Usually they give me Leetcode Medium. It's a

"most competent companies" wouldn't rely so heavily on leetcode in the first place.

It's been working well for me all things considered. The harder the leetcode problem, the more I have to ask it to fit the answer it gives me, but I have always gotten it to arrive at the correct (and most efficient) answer. I'm i

While all the docs I saw were "friendly", they were all in a hurry, which is probably imposed by the hospital they work for (where applicable), but 2 of the orthopedic surgeons I saw were father and son, with their own practice. N

It doesn't sound like tendonitis to me. I'm not a doctor, but I've spent "tens of hours" researching in this area for my own sake. There are a lot of people out there who will tell you their "symptoms" got

You should see a doctor- an orthopedic surgeon, not a PCP. PCP's don't know much in this area. You need a specialist. I'm curious what your symptoms are/were and how old you are. Tendonitis seems to usually have more to
