Simply, its not a bonus and its not for service. Its so the employer can pay less when business is slow.

That seems like a contradiction.

I guarantee you, I’m not doing any math in my head. Its at best a rough estimation.

EBikes are a huge win for mobility for people who live in areas that are sprawled and have poor access to transit.

I’m just searching the comments for novel use cases where its effective. Most articles I’ve read seem like either moral panics or snake oil.

I like how it can generate songs and poems based on a prompt. Its not particularly useful, but it is entertaining. It really does seem curated at times, leading me to think this will eventually become a fad or replaced by a more advanced algorithm.

This is a poor argument and is structured in such a way that it too common in discussion boards.

Where to begin.

1. Different people can have conflicting opinions. The internet is not one person.

2. These scenarios are fictional, but stated to make a contradiction.

3. One thing being wrong does not make the other correct.

Spaghetti architecture. There is so much state organizational controls outside the codebase limit which parts of the code may be executed at any given time.

Length of stay seems like a hit or miss metric. A lot of contract work is done in 1-2 year engagements.

The limited amount I’ve smoked shows it has an effect similar to coffee but less jittery.

New comment by chapium in "Ask HN: Developers, how do you deal with socials, blogging, etc"

chapium — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 14:47:06 +0000

Online socials starting with BBS were simply a way of life for me growing up. It has followed me into adulthood. I don’t think you are missing out, we just operate differently.

I don’t interact with anyone on linkedin other than recruiters. For ephemeral thoughts I put them on mastodon. I tried twitter for a bit but it didn’t suit me. Reddit exists for random things like bike tag and catching up on local news.
