A bit off topic but I do find it funny how it seemed for a moment you would have to take a cut for going remote but now it seems companies actually pay a premium for on-site.

I can agree with that too. This is what I've done myself. I guess it comes down to preference.

My bad, I should have said I picked up my wife’s phone who is on tik tok a lot, for years now. I know “interest” is subjective and a case could be made that any video is interesting… but eh. Imo, it’s mostly forgettable nonsense.

That's the ones that should (enjoy life and take more risks when you're young). I know a lot of people have "no choice" if they want a shot at a decent job though. Also, much harder if you want to start a family, it ho

It really blows my mind and will frustrate me like no other device. Usually because its last minute and I have to print something out quickly. I could plug in a 10 year old USB camera, monitor, mouse, etc. and have no problems. Plugging

Like most things, I think there's a sweet spot. I learned a ton from video games and youtube. All the same, I could see how easy it would be to "fall into" the trap of just binging nonsense all day. I remember having a play

I actually have no idea how printers (things that have been around for ever) are _still_ just so bad. I do get cheap printers tbf... but sometimes they just flat out do not work or can't connect or get jobs stuck in the queue, etc. I

I'm thankful that I'll never have to work in a city again. It used to be that WFH jobs were "rare" or special case but I've seen tons of postings for totally remote. Young adults will no longer have to uproot their

I can't say I agree. I think YouTube could have stood its ground or maneuvered much better. Perhaps the best "decision" to point to is the removing of dislikes. Does nothing but degrade user experience. Claims it was done t

I don't go on there much these days anyways... but if they remove "old.reddit" I just can't justify going on there at all. More space is generally a good rule of thumb for UI/UX but when the "value" of the

Basically handling user input/dynamic content becomes a bit painful. Usually this is just a case of trying to extend Dash beyond what it was designed to do though. Say for example, you have Model A on a server which has parameters X,

I started as a backend dev, moved to full-stack and initially didn't find JS too alluring. I've since liked JS for frontend stuff (not so much backend still). I _really_ like Dash for some things but quickly find myself hitting

I just wish that you could rope everyone that had a strong opinion on this whole thing into a room without internet access and quiz them on the _most basic_ facts about the situation. I'm confident that you're right, 1/3 (or

You can say that again. It's actually crazy that now you can be gone from social media for 3-4 days and the entire environment has changed. Logged on to twitter to see my _entire_ timeline full of takes from every side of the the polit

I doubt it. This is just the latest "current event" that everyone will be an expert on overnight. I bet if you polled all the people with strong opinions (in either direction) they would get most facts about the situation entirely

Virginia is awful (imo, as someone living there but moving ASAP) It seems to somehow have all the cons of any sort of area, without hardly any of the pros. The traffic is also consistently, comically bad. Everything feels so damn crowded

Perfect, I can finally ask him what _really_ happens at the end of his books! /s But really, I did wish Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash had a bit more of an epilogue. I know it may not be needed but it would be more satisfying.

Yep. I do enjoy building things but I learn more and more how important it is not to focus on things that are already "solved" if they aren't part of your core business. Distractions can scale exponentially.

Even despite the outages, I've found GL much better overall.
