He drove you next door, I think $9 was probably generous to begin with.

This was certainly my experience to some extent, though I am having trouble connecting it to the conspiracy theory thread. It's a basic credibility problem – if the grown-ups lied to us about weed, why should we believe them about hero

What, you mean like trying to close a few tickets before going home on a Friday, but wandering off to play with kitten-farming instead? Wouldn't happen.

This one looks to be up: https://www.reddit.com/r/incremental_games Thanks for mentioning that this isn't the ONLY one of these. I probably could have guessed eventually, but now I'm absolutely fascinated. Su

That's the part about this I'm so hung up on -- that this poor guy not only has this crippling condition, but that he has to come to terms with it every hour and a half, forever.

I'm not sure whether this is a good idea, but it's definitely an idea I'd want to watch happen.

Honestly, most of the functionality I need from Reddit is replicated from active message boards that I frequent. Yeah, there often isn't any kind of "voting" mechanism, but the part I love most about the smaller subreddits is

You're making it sound like the scraping was being done to replace the functionality of CL, which, yeah, would be pretty transparently shitty to do. But they weren't doing that, especially PadMapper: They were indexing the conte

No personal experience, but I can't imagine thinking less of someone for taking work with a candidate, even if I didn't personally like the candidate – it'd at least make you stand out a little more. Plus, if there were a hir

Heh, it hasn't been quite 15 years for me yet, but it's definitely something on my mind. The only thing making me feel better is that the last few job hops have been from being recruited, not the other way around, so people must

I think it would be fun to be the type of person who throws startup-centric, hail-mary passes with my career, but now that I've actually gotten myself onto a track that I love, I've very quickly turned into the quarterback calling

Thanks for the response. I'm not a developer (yet... heh), but I think I'm probably within sniffing distance of the top of the pay scale for my particular role. It's a weird feeling to know, "Welp, this is the end of big

At that point, it seems like it just comes down to how much you're willing to pay to be happy. If your lifestyle inflates to the point that you can't take a pay cut, then yeah, that's a shitty situation, but I know of some

Wow, you put a ton of effort into this, thanks. It's basic math but it really helped to see the fractions laid out like that. Now, to get good at my job and buy a palace...

This has been a pretty constant issue for me. I'm only a few years into my career, but my skills have always grown at a faster rate than my responsibilities (and my compensation). Job-hopping has kind of become the norm – 8 months, the

I work for a well-known tech company that includes RSUs as a pretty big chunk of compensation. I have absolutely no perspective on the level of the additional grants that come attached to the annual reviews, but I was under the impression i

Echoing Chinjut's question – I've never seen a jump like that, unless it was equity that turned out to be worth $350k, but looked like less when it was offered. How did that happen?!

I've run into several sites that have weird issues without Javascript, but they seem to always be things that could have been implemented with traditional markup: missing form components, misplaced images, things like that. I'd sa

This strikes me as striving for "cultural fit" at a company that actually knows what its culture is, or at least what it wants its culture to be. That could genuinely help -- but the actual list seems like the important part.

Why would we name a text editor after a particle?!!?! I THOUGHT I WAS INSTALLING A HYDROGEN MOLECULE.

I'm not a heavy plugin user, so I don't get a lot of the power-user benefits of ST, but the git integration alone has been worth switching. If you're editing a file under source control, it keeps track of changed segments (an

If it's automated take-downs you're concerned about, that makes total sense. But if it's just regular copyright you're worried about regarding the screenshot stuff, it might be worth checking with a lawyer -- seems prett
