Disagree, banks do not pay software devs a lot. Tends to be average or slightly above average. But nowhere near tech company salaries. Bankers see powerful staff as risks, they much prefer having subpar staff that are guarded by rigorous pr

The Force Awakens is an onslaught of sensory attacks, it holds you attention for 2 hours whether you want it to or not. 2hr+ of art cinema takes strong focus or experience to stay awake and watch. I could watch about 20mins of the movies fr

Uh, isn’t that what this thread is about? Making up joke coins to parody Bitcoin?

Similarly, how about a NosferatuCoin? This coin’s value is related to how much energy you drew from the power grid in order to mine it. More power? More money!

I empathize with this person. It’s clear from his story he does not have a support network. I think many of the decisions you make that are good decisions are helped by your friends and family. When people act alone or without support, th

I appreciate that you think I have that kind of power. I protest with every iframe they add. We have a page that starts with 6 and gets up to 20. It wouldn’t be so bad if they loaded basic html, but they use a WYSIWYG editor which generates

The new interface doesn’t look too bad, seems to align with Apple’s look and feel. You can see an old prototype here https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/media_vlc/att... What’s more scary is t

This happens all the time to my app. Our marketing team littered iframes all over our app, but they constantly push broken URLs for the iframe src. So what happens is the iframe defaults to loading the parent frame, which then loads iframes

I’m so torn on guns. If you had asked me about them when I was younger, I would tell you that I don’t think they have a place in society and that we should ban them. But as I’ve aged, I see class structures and the power of the elites much

This is incredibly common. I installed an analytics package on my personal heroku account for a side project and received an email on my enterprise email account from their sales department. My personal heroku account uses my personal email

I’ve discovered that using my coding skills as leverage against the management class is the best way to earn more. So I’m not coding until I get promoted. I got a raise and a promotion last year, did about 2 weeks of work to give the manage

Quite beautifully actually. I’m going to use this laptop on some Swedish furniture, wearing my indigenous moccasins, while watching a western anime, eating California roll sushi and drinking an americano from a Starbucks.

It’s awful for stretching, it doesn’t isolate muscles very well and strains joints. If it was good for stretching, you’d see NFL and MLB players doing it on the field before their games. It’s a ridiculous, roundabout way to do something tha

Haha, if you think that's bad, try driving a jeep. You don't even have to drive it for it to break!

It's hedonism + individualism. We tell our children things like "you are unique, there is nobody else like you" and "just be yourself" and we ask them things like "who do you want to be when you grow up?".

Israel identifies itself as the Nation State of the Jewish People and have carved out special rights in their constitution for Jewish citizens. Any criticism of Israel is therefore seen by some a criticism of Judaism itself. This is a power

I like Mongoose for MongoDB. For my dinky API and mobile app, it does exactly what I need it to.

The people you’re hoping to sell this to aren’t interested in programming. If you can’t sit down for an hour to learn something, you’re going to hate programming because that’s literally the entire job.

The Mustang is a middle-of-the-pack sports car, it's perfectly on brand for the Mach-E to be middle of the pack. There's a great scene in the recent Ford V Ferrari, where Christian Bale's character Ken Miles goes off on a For

The Mustang brand will carry this car through your complaints. So what if the range sucks? It's a "sports" "car"; even with an ICE they had crappy range. Having a bike rack affixed to your car destroys your aerody

I'd love to see their take on a City builder. Skylines and Sim City are fun, but not challenging. Programmatically, it's not that different from what Factorio is - isometric, moving stuff on conveyors = moving cars on roads, etc.

The biggest problem is that the things people want to buy are in short supply. So the extra money doesn't actually help anything, you just get asset price inflation. I want to buy a house. If everyone has access to cheap mortgages, the

I don't know if I would call this system broken, it's just incentivizing things differently. It works really well for identifying unicorns, but if you're catering to a niche or if you're just unexciting, it's much h

Great, now do the same thing but you have to lift boxes. And work in a dangerous environment. You will be exhausted but also in pain. Office work is not comparable at all.

The problem is that you measured energy usage for appliances that have non-discretionary use - ie. I don't get to decide when my fridge or HVAC turns on, that's a factor of the weather outside (for the most part...). Also, since f

We had time of use in Ontario, but recently got rid of it. It hurts the poor more than it saves electricity. 4-9pm might be the only time I have to do laundry and cook, two of the most energy intensive tasks, if I’m working a 9-5 job that r

GM can secure whatever they want, they don’t have the talent or culture to do anything with what they secure. At most, GM will purchase someone else’s electric car design to use their battery supply. Then they’ll hire a contractor to build

Maybe they have learned that the primary contact doesn’t respond as quickly? My partner is listed as my primary emergency contact, and my mother is my second. But my partner isn’t always by her phone like my mother is, so if there were emer

Because it’s easier to have one contact, rather than have staff debate if they have called each parent an equal amount of times.

I think one way to define math is “the collection of symbols we use to precisely explain natural phenomena”. I can say “that rose is very pink” and that is accurate enough for most people. But if I want to know how much pink there is in the
