Anyone with more context knows why they are looking for a job outside software development being a software developer?

You left out female good enough at sport. Also not from US, but campi usually have a great physical structure for sport practice. So, even if not part of the team, you have easy access to play the sport with friends.

I don’t know who the author considers “elite”, but I do consider News very marginal to me already (for several years actually). To keep the analogy, Art is much more important to me than News. But I do consider myself in the elite of my cou

TL;DR: it’s a counterfeit (an old one). The article itself is short and interesting, so worth reading, but the title is a bit misleading

I don’t think it’s possible to have 12 relevant ads in a page. And even it was, I would definitely be pissed off if I saw 5+ relevant ads. Because they could be revelant, meaning they could be informing me of something I would like to buy a

Interesting. I would consider Sony a big company not a small one. I do think ads can be helpful, I am not against they existing. But I think Google exagerates in how many ads they display on search results. I am curious, how many ads as top

The free plan is not because of a company’s mission to provide their service for free. It is solely a marketing tactic to get your contact in exchange for letting you experiment with their product without paying money. If they do not get yo

Doesn’t the amount of ads inserted in Google results annoys you and interferes with how many legitimate results you can scan at once to find a good one?

Multitude of customers as a “boss” is a much different situation than having one boss. So much that the analogy breaks up. A customer firing you might affect 2% of your income. A real boss firing you will cut 100% of your income. Also, if y

Great link, thanks. “Word crimes” is a great song indeed. More than learning English, I am a Weird Al fan. In this case, it translates well to ”nearly disappeared” . Which matches a sibling comment explanation that it means “everything hap

Off-topic English question, if I may. ”all but disappeared” means it disappeared, right?

My initial comment was precisely to point out that this is not about being legal or not at all. It is a sort of “public image blackmailing”.

It was a political move to shame Bezos into donating money to the state using some reasoning that would make headlines (like this one) and spread the awareness of the tactic. Bezos, though, was smarter and did donated the money, but to the

Definitely do not come to Brazilian big cities then. It is another order of magnitude more dangerous.

It usually takes two weeks to reach the total of posts for the month. Since this month’s was on Friday, I would wait at least a few more days to do even an initial comparison.

African culture also has a lot of influence in Brazilian culture. But anyway, there is another uniqueness aspect aspect, which is the urban development of Japan. I visited African tribes, and of course it is different than a big city in Bra

No, that’s not it. These people are used to go to the US and Europe and it’s not the same reaction. It is a mix of development, very different culture (Brazil has a lot of European and US cultural influence), but also safety, institutional

I never met a Brazilian who went to Japan and didn’t spontaneously say that things there are so different. I don’t think it’s solely propaganda (if any at all).

Great game! I am not a musician and very far from perfect pitch (I would say I am closer to the tone-death end of the spectrum). I also have no interest in training my ear. Still, I had a lot of fun playing the game. I had to replay a lot

I think there is some random chance it succeed or not, not only by your suggestion’s interpretation. Like some Math.random() to seal your destiny and then use AI to justify it. In a scenario where my parachute fails, my solution of opening

The comment you first replied to started with ”from the emails…” . So it’s very odd to speculate on a theoretical defense without knowing the details, in particularly, what the emails said.

Yep. Bluesky is definitely not “winning”, but 3 or 4 fiction writers that I like moved there and now I find a nice place to be. To be honest, if one more cartoonist that I really like and post new art everyday on Twitter moved out of it, I
