Jesus. The point was that people are, and can be content on living in SF and NYC on under $100k. It's offensive that you think that every single person who makes 70k or whatever range is living in a box filled with rats or whatever you

Yeah CRs UX is bad. Check out this chrome extension its a huge QOL jump https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/mal-sync/kekjfbackd... My other huge complaint about CR is it will just be missing a season of a sho

Oh I'm 100% for archiving and keeping the music around forever, even if the artist wants it gone honestly.

I had the same thing happen on a flight last year so when I got home I tested every streaming app I could think of and a bunch of them removed their download feature from the last time I used it or they put it behind a connection requiremen

I don't know a single engineer in the last decade that I've worked with or known that wants to live in SFBay. Hell, Google literally opened an office on 2nd and congress in Austin because people wanted to live in Austin and not SF

Spotify has been missing almost every hip hop b-side I've ever looked for. Like, the eps and lps that got these artists careers started aren't there. I had no idea how many b-sides some of them have until I started looking them up

I have two cameras in my jeep that are recording at all times. One front and back. It just overwrites its recordings after a time period. Gives me something to report if it's broken into, hit, etc. I'd like an inside camera as wel

Your first point is incredibly subjective. I love the spotify app aside from the fact they keep gutting its features. I've used almost every other music app in testing to potentially leave spotify. I've been a spotify member for 1

Has there been talk about that becoming a thing?

What even is that? Just straight up entitlement? Ignorance to the situation? Just not caring? He has a great point, I can't think of any times I've ever asked those questions unless I thought the book author was grifting, where I&

What does Spotify being crap have to do with a software engineer or musician being paid for their work? You think they shouldn't be paid because you don't like the company they work for?

Most of us who make 100k-300k made 70k at one point. I made 70k (5-8 years?) a lot longer than I've made 235k. I was absolutely not broke at 70k. In fact I thought that was the most money I'd ever make and that I was killing it fo

Yeah, I'm on a discord for tracking 4090 prices/stock. So it's a lot of gamers who can afford a $2k video card. I'd say 70% of the people in that discord pirate everything.

I tested getting off spotify last year, but the other apps were so bare bones and featureless. I tried most of the popular ones, Quboz, Tidal, Spotify, Apple music, youtube music, amazon music.. i think 1-2 others. Thankfully there's

The lengths that literal engineers will go to to not have to pay $10/mo for music or $3 to rent a movie in 4k immediately. Can't believe I have adult friends who make 70-300k and they still pirate based on money, not quality/

I have no frame of reference but I have a feeling here (usa) it's super illegal to "tamper" with any pub utilities infrastructure. Could be wrong, though, but no usb ports. That's really cool though I wish we could do th

I am so happy that I don't run mac farms for building a teams ios apps anymore. Everything about dealing with apples developer ecosystem was an absolutely miserable experience, from not being able to virtualize for ci builds to having

Neat. I was 10 back then but I remember having to deal with IPX networking to play Warcraft 1-2 with my dad, and over Mplayer, or some sort of online game service IIRC. Never really thought about how you'd do a mounted network share ba

Was this just like s/ftp accounts? Or something more complex like a 1996 dropbox? It was a mounted filesystem in your machine?

I'd never heard of Wojcicki. Nor this story from her Wiki. I was curious how a CEO of youtube was worth $800 million. > Wojcicki has worked in the technology industry for over twenty years.[3][4] She became involved in the creation

Another comment in here says it could be up to 4-5k/mo. Idk about googler parents but thats pretty much an entire 2 week net-income paycheck to me.. IIRC my friends with kids pay something like 2-3k/mo I think for their daycare bu

You had to pay.. 4-5k/mo for daycare, at work? I don't know if they ever built it because I left prior but Rackspace was going/did add a daycare at their hq (castle) and as far as I know it would be/was free.. At least t

I feel like I'm sort of like this but it's because I'm ADHD and if I happen to be doing the laundry it's probably because I walked by it for the last week, finally noticed it's inattention and wanted to do it RIGHT

Here it's like this: Don't ever lie to them, "no matter what it is they'll find out." So, some people don't lie, say they smoked pot in high school and none of them make it to the next step. I had a twitter con

They require various clearances (digging into your life and past relationships to a miserable degree), don't allow someone to have ever smoked pot and pay half or less of what you can make in the pvt sector here (usa). Everyone I know

I'm on an m1 and have ARM windows for playing ck3 in parallels. Runs way better in that then natively. I couldn't tell you where I got it or what its version is called but it was easy to find IIRC. Official too.

Me and 3 other Principal/Staff levels have now worked at 3 companies in a row together over the last 12-15 years. One of us will move elsewhere and slowly bring on the rest of us as we leave if we hear great things about the place. If

I can't imagine a C-suite determining literally anything about my team beyond allowing it to exist in the budget. I worked at way too many startups where the CEO was far too involved with day to day minutiae.
