It’s implied from the combination of English and the boss being mad about the worker taking their vacation days tbh

I used to think I didn’t like exercise. As it turns out, I’m just not that into running. I love biking though.

I’ve always loved weight lifting as well, though, so idk

It baffles me that people actually take these assertions seriously, especially after having used different software that uses voice input, like Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa or whatever. Those things make some serious mistakes even under ideal circumstances, and you want me to believe that they can accurately overhear things in non-ideal circumstances? I highly doubt it.

Regardless, you can use an ad blocker to make this a moot point - I’ve never experienced anything even close to this, because I never get ads.

Milei has already claimed that title.

Microwaving some leftovers might be an option. You get the great food you put effort into making, without actually having to make the effort at lunchtime.

Catenaries are cool, use them.

I struggled with this as well, having not enjoyed my teenage years that much.

How I coped was to tell myself that people asserting that period X is the best years of your life are people whose lives peaked at that time, and that this won’t be true if I made sure to not have my life peak then.

I’m happy to say that I’ve proven the assertion wrong in my case. It’s been a steady climb upwards, with every year being better than the latter.

General purpose: Kebab case

But really, follow the conventions of what you’re working on. For example, I’d use pascal case when working on a Java/Kotlin project, and snake case when working on a Python project.

Testing in prod is a power move honestly. Rock star-level

S-tier soundtrack on THPS2, hard agree OP

I consider the question of free coffee to be a litmus test for any company. If you’re not offering it, you are unequivocally a loser not worthy of running a company:

1. It costs next to nothing
2. Caffeine makes the workers more productive
3. Your best outcome is workers who drink a healthy amount of coffee every day

The expected return of offering free unlimited coffee for any work place is positive - and the inverse of not offering free coffee is hence negative.

I hate statistical rigour, I want everything to be vibes-based instead

Not saying there’s any reason to switch, but I believe you can load CSV’s into sqlite.

Datasette would be something that I would try for CSV’s as well, that seems like an interesting piece of technology I haven’t had reason to use yet.

Finally there’s always Jupiter Notebook and any respectable DataFrame-solution.

Not to knock spreadsheet-solutions too much - I certainly see their value and use them frequently - but if I had to do something that warranted writing VBA, I’d probably reach for a tool I could combine with some form of VCS like Git at least.

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this while flying in the EU, and I’ve done my fair share of it, living here and all.

The European mind cannot comprehend this.

I’d get in trouble if I didn’t use at the very least 20 days of vacation per year, and no one bats an eye at me staying home sick. These factors are completely disconnected from any performance reviews.

Average 350k according to levels.fyi.

I was expecting higher for principal tbh

I don’t know if it matches your desire for easy install of small disk space, but it might make up for it in other arenas - Ruby is my new-found love when making simple scripts. Being able to mostly emulate the shell integration that bash has by just using backticks to call a shell command is the killer feature in my book.

No, they changed it because it’s a more appropriate term for the phenomenon. While global average temperatures are rising, the net effect of having more energy in the system is change (broadly speaking for the negative).

Using ‘global warming’ as a term gives misinformation spreaders an easy tool to undermine the concept on a cold year/winter. ‘Climate change’ cannot be undermined in the same way, because anyone can plainly see that the climate ain’t exactly what it used to be.

The thing is that you can’t notice when it’s working on account of how seamless it is. Yes, sometimes it breaks down, but these are the exceptional cases.

I’ve been running adblockers since the beginning of time so I can’t speak to this behavior. Spontaneously it seems a bit amateurish, though.
