I was always surprised how well it worked. I definitely didn't use it often but every time I did it came out pretty cool and without glitches or artifacts.

Back taxes have a baseline rate that grows at certain increments of lateness but is ultimately capped. I don't think it's in any way tied to the base or prime rate.

I think of a "work week" as a bit of a fishbowl situation for most professionals. If you extend it from 40 hours to 80 hours you'll generally get the same output over time. Of course, this productivity can only be squeezed in

In this case I don't think there's really any mystery or hidden code, though. Functions that operate on collections (or set-like structures) are what generics are most commonly used for, so there shouldn't be much surprise.

I would imagine more people crossed roads than made infused oils in anaerobic environments, so more data needed.

But your complaint was about HTML and JS being all there is? I'm not sure what it is you're looking for.

But it's been like this for more than a decade now. Frontend work is unglamorous to a lot of developers but part of the more academic appeal is that it's still very much in its awkward teenage phase. That makes it appealing to tin

This is true at all. Explosive spalling is a very real thing and you can see many examples of this online. Cracking is a minor manifestation but it can be much more violent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV0saM5IFwE http

Certainly not an argument I'm making. But if you're making UBI at bare minimum you won't have to iron your polo shirt and khakis every morning.

Honestly, trying to fix the problems of: 1) expensive office space and 2) people not coming into the office with 3) more _expensive_ office space is just the kind of McKinsey-level thinking we should expect.

Depends on the timeline. Things are changing very rapidly. Automation seems to be coming at us at an exponential rate. The expectation that it's going to be business as usual is just as short sighted and archaic with regard going into

I know that fire pits (and outdoor stoves) need high heat mortar ... did you use that here or is the heat level low enough that it's not necessary.

It's curious to frame this as an intentional act rather than an inevitable, natural stage of capitalism.

Right, that's (the vinyl cutter variety) not wildly different than the Cricut (which I mentioned before, and can also pen plot) I guess I'm thinking larger than 17" and the two flatbed ones you linked would suffer from the sa

I'm not visualizing what you have but having the bed static certainly makes sense. But any plotter where the tool moves and not the source will have this issue.

On point 1, there is also a cost to doing registration on large scale stuff. I have the XL Axidraw and am limited to 11" x 17" so if I want to go bigger I have to set up registration marks and make sure they're aligned.

by nkozyra 3y ago
That's really helpful and I've thought about doing this because I don't have a dedicated space for my axidraw and it's kind of a hassle to move around (I have the XL) I use it for art a bit, for creating really nice note

That's a nice answer but I don't think that prevents you from spending money on arbitration or their getting a default judgement against you.
