very interesting to find other folks who jibed with this comic at a young age. My mom and aunt had cubicle jobs and the entire idea seemed very fun to me. I recall looking at my 4th grade classroom and thinking we could really benefit fro

Yeah I agree. It was a little weird without a touch screen, but at that point I was not navigating the start menu visually with a mouse anymore anyway. Windows phone was great. I think I got it when Android was still growing up. I liked

replit worked really well as a way to play with code ideas. Going from 0 to running code on their site is very handy. I can try something out in python without much setup, as someone who rarely uses the language. I tried their AI coding f

To one employee? No. But other employees will probably find out. Now how will they try to get a raise? By working hard, or getting an offer letter and threatening to leave? As an individual, if you fully intend to leave, and find your cu

This was talked about in The Hard Thing about Hard Things by Ben Horowitz, iirc, but from the other side. It advises to not offer a raise to keep an employee planning to leave. This is because the implication is that you were underpaying

I found this post to be very encouraging. I'm kicking around some novel ideas and mostly I am just building some lore documents. Glad I'm not the only one.

Yeah. I really feel for this guy. I'm at a bigco too and at my yoe, I would really like to be officially "senior". But if I'm being honest with myself I have a bit of growing to do before I am there. The limiting factor

Casablanca? The only way to really see it then was at a theater. They just bankrolled an A team of filmmakers and actors.

If it's not already on a streaming platform it might help them sell it to Netflix or something. But I think they ultimately are a lot more interested in effect on revenue than popularity among pirates.

I torrent too, but I think it makes sense to buy/rent or sub to a service in many cases. Companies look at views and revenue to decide what content to actually make. So, especially for ongoing series that I'm enjoying I want the

It's not quite as good as turbotax, but turbotax also had it's issues. I've used it the past couple years though just to stop feeding turbotax.

Wow, this must be a recent change. My license somehow was disassociated from my machine. I was able to get someone to fix it over the phone after some basic troubleshooting. It was a little annoying it happened at all, but at least they

well, probably different grades of lidar for different use cases.

Well maybe Tesla should adopt it then.

by wombat-man 1y ago
Well, sure, if you can raise capital then go for it. But if I'm burning savings trying to bootstrap that is just riskier than enjoying a salary with some risk of job loss.

I think LIDAR was and maybe still is way more expensive. Initially running 75k. Now they're more around 10k which is better.

You maybe know this already, but there are a couple sites that will handle the calling around for you. It is kind of ridiculous I spend more on the site than on the actual meds, but I just don't see another way for now.

For flights, I don't even try to "download" videos on the apps I do pay for anymore. I've been burned too many times by blurry downloads or videos refusing to play. I just find a copy elsewhere and use VLC.

At some point they'd probably want to convert back to fiat and that's the trick. Coinbase or whichever company will probably follow suit.

Chase was really weird about doing a chargeback for me when a restaurant charged me a second time under a different name a month after my visit. It took several phone calls and they eventually credited my account but they would not do a ch

Yeah the code review potential is big. I just started using AI for this and it's pretty handy. I agree it's good for helping writing smaller bits like functions. I also use it to help me write unit tests which can be kind of tedi

Going over their head can turn into a pretty sticky situation, because your skip might actually do something, and you might still be working for that manager. Also, this is a tricky job market. I ran into a similar situation years ago, tri

I'm not doing this, but my friends and I link our Plex boxes so we can see sports in different regions. If you can get enough of them going you should be able to see every NFL game. Too bad baseball is mostly on cable.

by wombat-man 1y ago
I'm probably not going to do a write up like this guy, but I'll probably start pulling together my Plex box soon. I don't care about live TV too much, but some shows, sports and news stuff it is better to see live. Kodi was

If you’re around or on the way to a popular hike I’ve seen buses run out to some more remote spots. But probably really depends on the county.

They turned right around to pick him after the insurrection. It looks like we are in for a pretty bad time economically. But even so, he is running the party. Wouldn't shock me if he ran again and got nominated.

I guess I don't know what he's obviously trying to get out of China at the moment. It looks like what we're going to get is a product shortage stateside soon.

I'm not talking about his supporters. I mean the people in the administration.

by wombat-man 1y ago
And who will stop him from running again?

by wombat-man 1y ago
Yeah, worse than the tariffs is the drastic policy changes by the day/hour. You can't expect companies to make long term capital investments when everything is in flux like this.
