The 2 months in March and April I was remote were the most productive months of my time here. However, they were the least productive of managements, and they took it out on us with an unrealistic schedule that we got lambasted for not fini

Well you know that we are living in a Material World after all... That said if my AI girlfriend starts asking me for 100 dollar Amazon gift cards I might consider seeing other people. EDIT: The more I think about it, I'm now considerin

I wonder when all is said and done, what percentage of my professors will have been cancelled, and what percentage of them are the ones doing the cancelling.

And then heaven forbid if you have different political views from them, especially in 2020. My mom treats me very weirdly, not because I actually voted for Trump, but because I don't spend my days ranting about how he's Satan inca

If he only won 51.3% of the vote then a 50/50 like/dislike sounds rather representative actually, much more so than likes/dislikes on Youtube usually are.

Honestly the fact that I haven't heard of it and those comments are probably related. My trust in google to maintain things is so underwater that I really don't feel like dedicating the attention to even learn their new product of

It's funny. My favorite band, Devo, released Muzak mixes of their songs several times in the 80s. However, you would never hear such a thing piped in a store in 2020. Plain vanilla "Whip It" though? Absolutely. Said another w

I downloaded it yesterday, only about 3 MB on Android. Does appear to require keeping Bluetooth on at all times which isn't something I like to do but I'll live with it.

He was probably thinking that he's the incumbent Governor in more or less a one party state and that short of murdering someone in broad daylight, his personal conduct won't impact his political career at all. Personally I don&#x2

The man has enough energy to distribute presents on a globe wide basis in 24 hours. You may not want to admit it, but Santa Claus is the ideal male specimen.

I think the core issue is that the real answer science has had for months to most of these questions is "We don't know yet, we need some time to find out", and for many people living in a global pandemic that answer simply wa

Pretty sure in this instance it's just supposed to imply the word "fleet", which isn't used standalone all that often in 2020, but is more common when you stick an "ing" to the end of it.

What's the next level up, because I walk 20 minutes a day but apparently my drug tolerance is high.

Them all being fake people is definitely the newsworthy bit, but the upsetting the vote by confusing people with names is an old strat. In the UK in 1970 a certain James Robert Lambert changed his name to Edward James Robert Lambert Heath a

Reminds me of Joel Spolsky's magnum opus "The Perils of JavaSchools". I remain happily separated from people like this in my professional life.

You have a point, but you should really look for examples more interesting than a paper that has endorsed every D running for President since the 60s.

The phasing out of gas powered cars is going to mean the phasing out of the consumer gasoline industry. How long after all these bans take effect do you think it will take for running a gas powered car to become prohibitively annoying?

If we're talking big dreams, heir to Robert Ballard. I literally can't of anything I'd want to do more than traveling the world and finding old shipwrecks.

I dream of the day I can walk into a job interview and brag about how many PRs my Open Source projects have to reject per day. Maybe that's just my Nobody Privilege talking though.

From my perspective last year as a first time participant in other people's open source projects, I don't think I would've made any of the contributions I did without Hacktoberfest. Projects tagged with the Hacktoberfest tag

Just a piece of anecdata in regards to this, last year in my first Hacktoberfest I made a PR for an open issue on a project that got no response from the maintainer until a week later, where he said something along the lines of "Oh sor
