It's already a job requirement for a bunch of places, they're just not listing it. I lost out on a job recently because I haven't used cursor ai.

The wealthy Quaker drivers thing threw me. I know it's an exaggeration but is there a large enough wealthy Quaker driver population drivers ubers for this to be a concern?

You get a Macbook.

Why are conservatives always so angry?

It’s okay for you to not get everything. This one is simple, it’s just not for you. You don’t get it because it wasn’t built for you.

Because of my ADHD I would constantly get pulled over if automatic lights were removed

I’ve been considering dropping ChatGPT for the same reason. Now that the app is out the only thing I actually care about is search.

I could play devils advocate and say that it’s bad for poor students because if authors are not fairly compensated then these authors won’t write textbooks and if they don’t then future students won’t benefit from having the textbooks.

Well when you get sick from the weird bacteria after buying tattoo ink on Amazon you can go Amazon Health to get better. It's the snake that keeps eating itself.

Is Larry Wall brat?

I’m glad it used Java. I wound up rewriting the code in Python and it really helped me understand the concepts a lot better.

Obligatory The Office reference.

Looks like most people commenting didn’t read the article.

What about paint.net is drawing you in from windows

That’s an awfully uncharitable projection.

Not the OP but I would agree with you if I was not told explicitly by several people that they love being outside with loud gas powered engines. These people happen to be my neighbors. There's a culture around small gas powered engines. People grew up with them, and learned engine repair on them, which helped them build a career. I have used battery powered leaf blower and a battery powered weed eater, and I have been told "that's nicer than anything else I've ever used, but I just love gas engines".

This comes up constantly and it’s just wrong.

When I first started making a lot of money I was extremely generous but I realized quickly that it still goes quicker than you realize. So I’m not sure if that’s part of this perception or not.

Hugo Awards have been weirdly political since the whole Sad Puppies thing.

I live in an area with high levels of PFAS in the water, so this isn't always true.

How does that work? Being a professional gambler, I mean. I'd love to know more about this.

Well, it wasn’t wrong. The Internet has made people dumber.

I’ve never had that problem. Maybe it’s because I bank with USAA, and a lot of their tech is out dated.

I just cancel my debit card instead. It’s quicker, and then when I have to add my card to sending that needs it again I have a much deeper understanding of where my money is going.

God no. This sound awful. I can’t think of anything creepier than cicadas.

Whenever I read stuff like this it always sounds made up. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve installed Linux and I’ve literally never had these issues.

I probably would have opened with that.

Also, after a quick Google search, it looks like it's religiously affiliated. They don't seem to make that apparent on their website though.

Is it though? Because if they were doing something that good wouldn't I have heard of this service by now? I have a pretty good (I would wager better than most) understanding of which streaming services are available but I've never even heard of this one.

It was suggested to my wife to get our daughter's tongue tie taken care of when she had trouble with breastfeeding. I said it sounded like bullshit with no scientific basis, but we were desperate parents with little recourse and lactation consultants were unhelpful with suggestions like suffocate your baby with your breast until they latch. So I said if she felt like it would help she could do it, because sometimes science doesn't have all the answers. It didn't help, and our child still struggled with breastfeeding. I felt really angry at the medical establishment after that, and my feelings towards the medical establishment have not improved. This is just the first incident in which the medical establishment failed my daughter, and I think that pediatric care in this country is in absolute shambles. The only thing I can figure is that the doctors who go on to become pediatricians must not have been good at any other specialties so they decided to work with children because they couldn't screw it up too badly. Remember, this is still the same field where doctor's claimed babies couldn't feel pain until the 90s.

This seems pretty on bar for a lot of small businesses I’ve worked for in software engineering sadly. I think it’s why they stay small.
