   Six figure blue collar jobs are not super common in the US.

   Using Python vs Rust is in no way in the same league as not having tests.

   True, but politeness feels like continuing in English, because I have no idea if they care to struggle through a conversation with me, and asking people that 5 times through the course of every day starts to wear me down.

   Those numbers are native or second language. I bet the English numbers shoot way up vs Mandarin if you drop the bar to basic language skills or holding limited conversations.

   I don't think it's looks, it's accent. Often someone will start a conversation with me in Norwegian before I've spoken, then switch when I answer. Granted, My Norwegian is not great yet (A2/B1 level), but it still d

   I'm an American living in Norway, in a larger city (for Norway). It's hard to learn, because when I try my burgeoning Norwegian, they immediately switch to English. I don't blame them at all, but I see how someone speaking En

   That's interesting. I recently moved to Norway, and first had BankID on mobile, which used GSM level encryption to verify. They're deprecating that now for a regular BankID app. But even though it's supported, I don't th

    This is an aside, but you can explain the phrase "For the deepness of my ass"? Never heard that one before!

    Last time I used Rails was years ago, but I found Rails had a huge mental load when developing. So much magic and inference, you had to carry the whole Rails mental model around with you to read some simple code. I think that's a dange

    I don't think sanitation problems on earth are generally technological ones, they're usually money/resource related. Not sure a super-expensive Mars trip solution would have a ton of impact on Earth (maybe though?)

    Because Finland is a great example of unions working for the benefit of employees? Why are we constrained to only discussing how (some, not all) unions are in the US?
16. 256.▲
    by ubercore 4y ago

    Not necessarily. As I understand it, in the Nordics, employment conditions and benefits are protected by unions, regardless of an individual's membership.
17. 257.▲
    by ubercore 4y ago

    I think you have a very US-centric lens on unions. In the Nordic countries, for example, unions operate entirely differently. So you need to be clear where your points come from.

    Sarcasm is also really hard to deal with in text, even for native speakers. And super hard for non-native English speakers.

    I live in a super rainy city, had to get a Gore-TEX rain jacket because others would just soak through walking the dog every day. It's been great so far, no complaints about breathability either on 1.5hr walks. All day hikes might be d

    Wouldn't that produce unexpected but not necessarily undefined behavior? To parent's point, I'm not sure there's going to be a language level _exploit_ there, but it will certainly not work the way you'd think.

    Coffee has a tiny amount of calories, but I've always seen people say it's allowed if you're doing TRE. If you set up your 8 hour window well though, it's probably not a huge deal to skip coffee outside the feeding windo

    I want the best actor for a role, not one with the right skin color. You can hedge around the skincolor issue all you want, but that's the basis for your complaint.

    I feel like the practice is that they bank on not enough people using it, then either take it away entirely if too many people do, or stop individuals they feel are abusing it (in the US, anyway)

    Every ferment has some level of mold in it, though. As do most air cured meats.
