Started reading and immediately hearing it narrated in his voice.

100% agree. Never compromise on what is part of your character build. It's not about them, it's all about you, your mental health, and your career trajectory.

Also, doesn't chip manufacturing require a lot of water? Water is not the first thing that comes to mind when I hear Arizona. I think I'm about to learn a lot with this.

I wish the Pro version wasn't subscription based. I'd pay a one time cost even if they dropped the stuff that needs server support (AI, Sync, whatever).

Bur this is not an async problem. It's a TZ problem, right? . OTOH you can avoid being paged in the middle of your sleep id your team has people in far time zones.

For the record, I struggle with timezone differences too. The non-async moments tend to always suck for someone.

do manual updates when a patch is out for two weeks.

Manufacturers will simply ship dormant changes that wake up a month after deployed.

They could. Just don't expect the same pay when the assistant is performing a big chunk of the work.

Same goes for engineers. Just wait.

Another good resource is Jeremy Fielding's YT channel.

Interesting but it doesn't seem to activate the menu item for me. Can I make the menu item be invoked once I found it? Hitting return does nothing.

Which type of drill bits you tried? There are drill bits made specifically for plastics.

I know it doesn't cover all the risks (including other tools and even poisoning) but it was a no-brainer for me to upgrade to a SawStop when I decided I was liking this hobby and was going to stick with it for a while.

Fellow coder and woodworker here. I can relate to the article for sure and I'd add that in my case I make a point of avoiding using software or computer-assisted anything in my woodworking. So no Fusion 360, no SketchUp, no CNC, no laser cutters, no 3D printers.

It sounds radical but it feels important to my mental health to keep my woodworking physical an analog as possible. Now, I'm still a power tool junkie so I'm not about to give up my table saw or planer.

So many hobbies are expensive. I know I'm not competing with mass-produced pieces. It's like never dining in a nice restaurant because there are so many fast-food chains out there.

I think the point is more about people who worked with Gates not having that many bad things to say about him. I used to follow MSFT news very closely during the Gates era and invariably you'd hear stories how people at the company genuinely liked him.

I love software engineering and working with other coders. That said, the second I'm able to retire comfortably, I won't bat an eye.

I might still decide to work on something but very not primarily software. Maybe I'll teach, work on something more manual or do volunteer work.

Thankfully my wife doesn't read HN.

Unfortunately not everyone can take the vaccine.

I have gladly forgotten the details by now but last time I developed on Windows GCM was the thing that gave me the most headaches. Our Git was on Azure DevOps (whatever that's called now) not github. Due to reasons we could not use SSH instead.

A solvable problem but not in the time-frame to support these 41% that are thinking about it for their next car.

Even if they have to show medical records this can be arranged to go through a 3rd party organization that validates the request without sharing details with the company. This type of stuff already exists for medical claims.

is it just that people don't know where to find the links?

Speaking for my wife, she mostly browse and share stuff on her phone. It's much quicker and consistent to take a screenshot and share it than trying to discover/remember in each app what is the best way to produce a link to paste somewhere else (how many clicks to get a share link in the amazon app? how about the YT app? FB app, can you even do it?)

Recently acquired by ServiceNow

I don't know about the main people being power users. When I worked at a company that used it, virtually all of Engineering, Support, and Product were constantly using ServiceNow's horrendous UI to deal with customers and internal IT workflows.

Like others said, we tried hard to not have to interact directly with SN, adding scripts and integrations into other systems.

"The next version had pre-programmed buttons for various services that had paid them off, and I was annoyed, but whatever."

I cut those buttons off with a knife because I kept accidentally pressing them just by picking up or holding the remote, which would exit whatever I was currently watching.

Agreed. Even the false analogy with woodworking is ridiculous. There are definitely tons of woodworkers that are enamored with the craft and the tools, and that has nothing to do with the quality or usefulness of what they make. It's just people liking different things and the different aspects of "making something". People don't need to think alike to perform the same jobs.

When you put it like this it sounds like Brasilia doesn't have any life or non-government people living there. Over the last few decades Brasilia has changed a lot and it is considered by many a good place to live. It also has developed suburbs (satellite cities) in its vicinity, just like any other major metropolitan area in the country.

Good call. That one was memorable.

Seems like everyone assumes they are not infected. It's always the others that are irresponsibly spreading diseases.

Kind of. Maybe you're saying the same thing but I think the point is that they're highlighting which problems are being solved, which are easier to relate for the consumer. Only technical people care about what and how solutions were implemented.

What you said is all true but it still boils down to getting people to see more ads. I'm not sure how big a part of their revenue Reddit Gold is.

The childcare situation is most likely a pandemic related problem. In a more normal world you'd arrange school and childcare just as if you had to commute to work.

Having a private room, at least for me is always a very important aspect of getting stuff done from home. I make all the effort I can to make it not look or feel like a corporate office, though.
