One thing I noticed was a course would always be 90% off unless I was logged in. Then the course would either a) not have the discount b) have the discount for a few hours and then mark itself up to the “full price”. Basically a way to try

Mr. Corman was tough to see cancelled but that show was hard to watch. It was scarily depressing and I while I think some people say they want a show like that, I don’t think it pulled the viewership numbers to keep it on air.

Plus almost no one is reading academic papers at 200 words per minute. So for the level of material it could mean that number is halved per 20 years.

Right but they mentioned those were (young) adults vs young teens. So there is a good chance they already have a solidified friend group and don't have to play the game of constantly being on social media.

I also think people who don’t speed, and don’t drink (ever, or especially before driving) want to put themselves at risk to a dumb software bug. Like it’s great if we could reduce deaths but man I’d feel horrible about my kid dying because

I don’t know where you’ve worked but you can choose to not let your employer deduct anything. Normally it’s done automatically to ensure that you don’t get it with an unaffordable tax bill at the end of the year.

Another recommendation is bandwidth.com. They have minimum pricing but their api is great.

Wait is the uBlock domain list shareable? I would love to add that to my config as well.

For building things I find that that “skill” to be powering through uncertainty. Some people are constantly in analysis paralysis and it is a struggle to watch them code something that isn’t completely outlined.

Definitely agree it uses less muscles. I was solely talking to increase one set max rep count. Neutral grips are nice.

Are you gripping your thumb around the bar? I got to ~18 max set a few years back and found it much easier to go thumb in line with all your other fingers. Another tip is to train wide grip lat pull downs at a gym then do your pull ups with

Bezos has an interview where he’s talking about the future of labor and mentions pet therapy is a career individuals can have. He was using it as a way to say we don’t really know what the future will hold.

Please check out the Vox article linked by the other poster. I want to preface with saying I’m pro choice. But are you really going to argue the 5 men and 1 woman that vote to affirm Dobbs is representative of the nation? People (including

Has our military? Hopefully not many - it’s not up for them to decide whether or not to fire. But as Clausewitz says, “war is politics through other means”. If you want a specific example: Clinton’s administration chose not kill Bin Laden e

Honestly Circles was a great idea with poor UI/UX. It would be interesting to see a rebrand. However, I have doubts about people wanting to use another Alphabet product considering they seem to kill everything that isn’t a massive succ

At a previous startup we had “bug bash Fridays” where we would either let the devs find bug tickets in Jira that they wanted to fix or could self report problems that they had noticed. While most devs don’t seem to enjoy fixing bugs, this w

At the web dev startups I have worked at I was able to hit the ground running (okay, maybe like 2 weeks of training). If you know the UI & server frameworks most companies aren’t doing anything complicated from a business perspective. H

He made some anti Semitic comments and I thought his account was banned. Maybe it was just a suspension though.

Eh they pay for Chegg so there is probably some market there. GPT-2 may not have been quite good enough though.

Please write the blog post. It may be a hard sell but think of it more as a creative conversation with the future of web dev. While you may not get the final answer “correct”, your post will help the community progress a much needed discuss

eBay. Make sure the seller has a long history of good reviews and is in your country/region. There are some sellers with over 100 cards they’re trying to offload.

You guys hiring? I don’t see anything regarding careers on the storyteller.io site.

Yeah that’s a bit of a chicken vs egg problem though, isn’t it? It’s like how physics students routinely have the highest LSAT. If they were already towards the top of their class upon entry, it’s not surprising to see them doing well in co

Do you have any further reading or crate recommendations? I have slowly been getting into rust but haven’t really used it for data engineering.
