Right, I assumed the same argument. I've spent over half my life here, so it's obviously not that important to me, nor was it a factor in my decision to move here. Yet it's an observation I can make, having two distinct perspectives to compare, not a judgment on America. Ugh. It's the whole "yet you participate in society" meme, or the "well, if you don't like it, why not go home?" argument, which could well both be logical fallacies I don't know the names of.

Anyway, more public transit for the people and all that.

And? What's the gotcha you're implying?

I moved here from The Netherlands in 2004, and have now lived in Florida, California, and Mississippi and stayed for prolonged periods in many US cities for my job. I wouldn’t feel safe riding a bicycle anywhere here considering the speed of traffic, the size of the vehicles, and lack of dedicated biking infrastructure. It’s a completely different world when you share the road with angry F150 drivers blasting past you at 80 MPH. No, thank you.

For sure. I currently live in the US (fairly rural) and I would kill to have my transportation-related costs reduced to about $150/mo. But where I live, I simply need to have a car to do any basic thing since the moment I step off my driveway, there aren’t even footpaths.

That’s the introductory price. It’ll be €127,95 after that period is over. Kids travel for free, though, so that’s pretty nice.

In hindsight, I think I underestimated the value of my OV card while I was a student: travel whenever, using all types of public transport, for free.

Better keep her away from any suspicious black puddles.

Unless you’re a Gmail user.

Kes is not a TNG character. Maybe Deanna?

To add to the list: Replacing bad wood, pest service, aging appliances, fence maintenance, septic emptying (depending on your location), flooring wear and replacement, grouting and caulking, pest control, exterior cleaning, etc.

It can occasionally feel like an endless stream of tasks.

Oof, that’s rough, especially considering that GitHub used to be a Linux shop. I wonder what happened to all the Rails folks who built the OG platform.

So freaking weird. Is it normal at MS for Product Managers to push code? wtf

They also love to be tread upon if the boot is just right.

If you find out, please let me know!

I pay for Copilot annually, and mostly for its code auto completion features. I use CC if I want to do anything agentic. Not sure if I want to pay more for occasionally-good-intellisense at this point.

But they both used C++, a rare and obscure language rarely used in cryptography! /s

This post really resonated with me. Through the daily drudgery, I lost that spark that drove me to programming in the first place as a kid and became disgruntled with it for a while. It wasn't until I pushed myself to get back to hobby (or shed) programming that I rekindled my old passion and, as a result, find my day job much more bearable.

Copilot Copilot for Copilot

I'm currently dealing with a similar issue! I can't see issues in my own repos, and Copilot (which I pay for annually) has completely stopped working. This just happened overnight, and I have no idea what could have caused this situation.

That could be true. I guess I could try giving a one-time donation from another account and see what happens.

They lost me at putting "overreacting" in the title.

I think you just proved their point for them.

I donate to Wikipedia on a recurring, monthly basis and don’t get any of this.

Mom’s listening along on the other phone with her hand covering the receiver.

They reflect the traits that OP values in others; these criteria wouldn't be universal. I think the thought experiment still holds: If I met myself on the street, would I like that person? If not, why not, and how can I fix that?

I’ve paid for a few licenses so far just to support the guy making it. It’s a crucial tool in my gamedev workflow, and really couldn’t do without.

Something like this could definitely replace my crufty Obsidian + scripts workflow if it ran on Linux.

Interesting, but it would be nice to see some examples of sounds generated without signing up for an account.

Stripe was launched through Y Combinator. It makes sense for their stuff to quickly bubble to the top of their news aggregator.

Exactly, the entire appeal of Thinkpads is their ability to be repaired and upgraded by the end user. MacBooks are designed to be disposable.

I think it’s because C++ programmers tend to define themselves by the domain they work in. Game developer, embedded systems engineer, firmware developer, etc.

Minecraft, very likely.
