  • They're literally conspiring against you

  • Oh, they are just minmaxing you out. I'm not in retail, but my manager always tells me to only go for the easy 80%

  • I would guess that in Data Science some things would require you to use local timezone because they are dependent on the actual time of day, and some would require synchronization so use of UTC. Also, some timezones are way off the sunlight time and would skew the data that has dependency on daylight and not on hours

  • If you're moving fast, jumping off will not help much. Maybe not getting buried under the bike but not falling full speed

  • Maybe we software developers should use the trick of LLMs, always respond ‘you're absolutely right’, but never do what this would imply.

    Nah, only a tin can can get away with acting this stupid

  • So short, and thanks for all the flinch | From Gnome Foundation's recently departed Executive Director

  • I don't quite get what sense does ‘the flinch’ in the title have beyond being a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It reads as if it was something bad, but the post is just a list of thanks

  • You mean things like this?

    It seems flying the English flag is now as transgressive as posting you're not a big fan of mass immigration on Facebook. And given that the latter is already likely to land you in trouble with the increasingly authoritarian state, it seems likely that the former might soon too.

    I'm not exactly using Xitter, and his blog looks like a lot of reading only to find out who DHH is

    Edit: oh, it seems like not much reading was needed, I'm starting to see your point after reading how good it feels to be in the Reagan's era again:

    [L]et me tell you about the 80s. They were amazing. America was firing on all cylinders, Reagan had brought the morning back, and the Soviet Union provided a clear black-and-white adversarial image. But it was the popular culture of the era that still fills me with hiraeth.

    […]

    It feels like we're finally emerging from this constant 90s Seattle drizzle to sunny 80s LA vibes in America. The constant pessimism, the cancellation militias, and the walking-on-eggshells atmosphere have given way to something far brighter, bolder, and, yes, better. An optimism, a levity, a confidence.

    Study: AI wiping out entry-level jobs for young workers

    Jump

  • Oh, I'm sure the plan is to not need senior engineers by that time, and just replace them with AI, too

  • GIT the Princess

  • Only if the crate she comes from has her properly exposed

    Jump

  • That sounds too good to be true, I would expect it to be three or four separate insurances. I have only one that covers my bicycle and any problems I cause or get while riding it

    how hard would I have to beat a United Heath "doctor" who refused my MRI so they feel the same pain I feel right now?

    Jump

  • Or it could melt. Not exactly sure if it could realistically, though

  • They are still amazed not to have found a person whose tendons will show on an X-ray… yet

  • GIT the Princess

    Jump

  • And the princess doesn't live long enough to be returned from the castle

    Jump

  • Next time I will fly anywhere, I'll make sure to get that travel insurance, thanks for a hint

  • TIL that Canada has an Apology Act which states that saying "sorry" is not an admission of guilt.

    Jump

  • I imagine, healthcare case comes from when a medic announces bad news and tries to express compassion only to get sued because obviously that's the correct person to blame

  • Ergonomic errors in Rust: Stackerror

    Jump

  • I'm not entirely sold on the idea, because the article shows no example of defining and using special error codes. It leaves an impression that if anything you want to recover from is IO and HTTP (no HTTP/2, too) then it's all good.

    Still it looks interesting and I will take a deeper look into it later

  • Get. Off. The. Plane.

    Jump

  • Most likely, they pay something like $5/lb of lost luggage, which is not nearly enough

    I was lucky to eventually get the lost bags instead of a useless payment when my bags were lost

  • Oh, it's this ‘let's call absolutely different things or even polar opposites the same name’ trope again, I hate it. Thanks for digging it up and informing us

  • Why NixOS is the Future - YouTube

    Jump

  • I think, it's based on an old flake-compat package or something. It's not inherently bad, but it displays what I dislike the most about Nix design, it's very opaque and magical until you go out of your way to understand it.

    The globals are another example of this, I know I can do with something; [ other ] but I am never sure if other comes from something or not. And if it's a package parameter, the values also come seemingly out of nowhere.
