Appalachia, hence my aside about it being literal.

Seeing things like this make me extremely glad to be moving to an area where any attempt at this would (literally) be shot down. I'm already subject to intense surveillance, at least have the decency to be subtle about it.

Succinct is probably the best word. You've essentially described the Non-Aggression Principle as it applies to government.

EBITDA is a meaningful term that communicates a lot of information. "Synergy" is useless, and is essentially an SEO tag for an idea you want people to pay for. I'm not saying that different disciplines don't have jargon

The simple answer is that it's code-speak, and it's designed to make people feel better about their jobs and salaries. Speaking in plain English makes many things seem childishly simple—which isn't good for anyone's ego.

It works, looks inoffensive, and it's not a pain point, so I'd call it a strength.

It's like bug reports per user. Obviously if you have 4 users, you're going to have fewer bug reports.

Our gun crime rates per gun are flabbergastingly low. Our gun crime rates per capita are excellent, except in some of the largest cities.

Yes, they essentially nuked Chevron deference through this decision, an extremely pro-voter and pro-transparency move. Good. Edit: I'm contextualizing this opinion through a legal lens, pointing to what it really does. From now on, Con

Contractors who work in the home, not really. Construction workers might crack a beer at work, but it's nowhere near the "builders" stereotype the UK has.

You can think the earth is flat and still enjoy a meteor shower. They're so beautiful, and obviously speak deeply to us as primates or something, because we have so much imagery involving meteors.

You're still cutting off truly remote folks at that point. I want to live in the middle of nowhere, there's no benefit (for me) to remote if I can't. Regular IRL team meetings are fine, that's a wise thing to do anyway.

So stay home if you want. I'll stay home if I want, and the social cost of that is on me.

I code best in relative isolation. I'm a very social person, I'm just not a very social coder.

Makes sense, I've heard it's a hell of an anti-parasitic drug.

I wish I were able to help, I'm just not well-connected. Thank you for the work you've done, such a massive help to society.

I know what I'm doing, I just don't always know how to do it. But I know how to find out, and I have the mental framework to pick it up quickly. That's what juniors should understand about how this works. You'll never kn

Yes, unless they're being a dick for no other reason than to be a dick. A reasonable reply is always upvoted, since I value all discussion.

I'm usually committing visual changes for reviewers without easy access to the environment, so I mark up the screenshots in my PRs. It's great

I'm fortunate to have grown up reading voraciously. I read literally everything I could get my hands on, and kept that trend going through high school. When I think, it comes out as paragraphs, sentences, and phrases. It's not har

I read this as: "Humans and rodents have different metabolisms". It's still very good data and very interesting, but it raises more questions then it answers, and effectively points out that we have no clue how these metaboli

If Kraken is making a serious effort to avoid laying people off, the former is significantly more appealing.

Because it sends the wrong message. You take a significant other there for special occasions, or you take a date there if you're really interested/really want to get laid.

Well framed. My point is simply that we never dated in any way that normal people would call dating. We treated it like a platonic friendship with the intent of life partnership.
