I also complain about this but it’s obviously not ever going to change.

I always have blue blockers (yellow and also dark orange lenses) in my car and wearing them totally prevents pain and fatigue for my eyes.

Perhaps because you have never had to think about the role agriculture plays in civilization.

Encourage you to look into this issue more.

Seed sharing is fundamental to human civilization. It is a human right. Companies like Monsanto that belligerently interfere with this by claiming “ownership” of seeds are nothing less than evil.

Thank you! I wonder how many people read this and have the correct context.

"Unable to read or write, he taught himself to form these sculptures using wooden structures at their core wrapped in mink or barbed wire, covered in layers of cement..."

I want to understand how in the world did this man come to the decision process of using either mink or barbed wire? Seems like concrete must adhere to them both quite well?

The (heme-rich) iron you get from eating red meat is actually quite different from the (non-heme) iron you get from veggies.

Edit* also- I’m pretty sure fe3 iron sources - particularly dairy cause your body to hoard more iron which will result in more heme iron

This idea really disgusts me. If an animal is “accidentally” killed then the first action should be to punish the people who did this and then take steps to ensure it does not happen again. Just allowing capitalism to continue to wreak havoc on our planet is so obviously not moral thing to do.

From roughly 2006-2012 this site greatly influenced my taste. I visited the site multiple times a day and read pretty much everything they published. I used to always check the site at 11pm when they reliably published a new set of 5 album reviews.

At some point banner ads for big liquor companies started to show up. Then coverage for mainstream music became more frequent. This was a clear signal that they had sold out and their reputation was shot. I view them now as the new incarnation of Rolling Stone magazine. Still feel for the writers who got fired in this latest reorg.

Orca whales off the coast of Washington (j,k,l pods) are endangered IN NO SMALL PART due to the existence of the Snake River Dam. If the salmon cannot survive then neither can the whales.

Our ancestors didn’t abuse animals on the scale we do now.

While it is frustrating to see entire houses used exclusively for short term rentals, I think them being converted to actual single family homes would only be a drop in the bucket in helping to balance the housing market. Demand would still be absolutely insane if AirBnB did not exist.

Yes thanks- probably an issue with my $PATH

Not a coder, working as admin

The working environment which is conducive to a successful developer vs a successful admin are, most likely (in my experience), two completely different environments.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, can someone please explain why I cannot use `networkQuality` when zsh is my shell? Is there an alternative for zsh?

My family drove to Crater Lake in Oregon last summer. We stopped for gas in a tiny one road town near the park. Due to it being tourist season, we needed to wait around 20 minutes to get ‘service’ at the gas pump. The station only had one person pumping gas. This person was completely overwhelmed. I gave her my credit card and she started to fill up our tank. 5 minutes after driving away from the station I realized the fuel gauge was still indicating close to empty. I turned around and waited another 15 minutes just to tell her she had apparently forgotten to fill my tank. She was incredibly embarrassed (rightly so!). She then told me to LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING while she pumped gas so I could watch the gauge move “just to make sure it was working”. LOL! I still smdh thinking about this experience.

"...but with remote you have to poke someone" This example does not make sense because in both scenarios, in person or remote, you're 'poking' someone (aka disrupting someone) to ask a question.

Also physically schlepping a laptop around to show someone is way more work than a simple screen share....and in either scenario here you're needing to 'carve out time'.

Most mid-level and senior people have not learned the skills to mentor while working remotely.

I do not understand why you would choose to generalize to such an extreme degree. How could you possibly have the confidence to speak in such broad terms?

Reflecting on my last 6 years of experience as an engineer (which includes both office-based work and being remote) this is not true at all.

Their demo looks nice in terms of the ‘flow’ building UX. I’d be willing to bet they’re using React Flow[0] as the primary rendering engine of this tool.

This rings true for me as well. I’m in my mid thirties and just moved out of Seattle to live on a nearby island surrounded by trees. The night sounds of coyotes and owls is so much better than a city street.

It seems like you’re justifying the status quo when I think a much more practical answer would be to simply swap out the chickens for chickpeas or soy or any number of other high protein and cruelty free alternatives which would also almost positively be _way_ cheaper and less wasteful.

I work at a large company based in Seattle and this is exactly my experience. I go into the office maybe once every few weeks and maybe talk to one or two people from my org. We do coordinate to get together in the office every couple months which is kind of fun but not worth doing on a weekly basis as our team is already distributed across the country and world.

Yours is an enviable existence.

For real though if you aren’t aware- it’s a social media platform for work(ing ‘professionals’).

The repo owner of this collection is also the creator of React Flow fyi. He probably wasn’t trying to show off but provide a list for people to browse and decide for themselves.

I applaud any bad press on InfoSys. I picked up contract gig through them a few years ago. Here are some of the takeaways from my short lived experience: - It took them over two weeks to send me a computer. - They cancelled PTO for everyone. (this was the most egregious single thing they did) - They had absolute worst internal site for accessing HR documents and accessing personal resources. Just a maze of links. You could only access it via Internet Explorer (I swear I'm not joking). Everything took forever to load. It was like stepping back into 1997. - When I gave my 2 week notice, they refused and said I 'owed' them at least a month. LOL not sure how they think they can control people like that. I gleefully told them to 'deal with it'. This happened about 45 days after I started as it became obvious very quickly how bad this company treats people.

Listening to your own music in the macOS Music app is as simple as dragging (importing) the music into Music.app and selecting any of the options ("Recently Added", "Songs", etc.) in the Library sidebar.

This was not true in my experience. Sure it worked most of the time but I had tracks in my collection which were apparently incompatible with the Music.app and would not play. This led to me migrating to Plex about 4 years ago.

I had a contracting gig at MSFT a few years ago. I remember one occasion where I voiced some gripes about using Teams with some FTEs I worked with and receiving nothing but blank stares. I couldn’t believe they didn’t find Teams as frustrating as I did. Maybe they were just used to using crappy MSFT tech?

Of course I see a problem. Transparency should always be a top priority. My intention was not to disagree with you, just to provide a different lens to view this. After all, are most American consumers aware of the conditions in which the animals they eat are raised (what they are fed, how they are treated, what types of drugs they are given, how long they live, general quality of life, etc…)? I believe this is just as important as what gets printed on a label.

Finding the title confusing. How to find great systems design questions || How to find great questions about systems design more understandable.

Ive tried using twitter at least four times and found it exhausting. Never kept it up longer than a week. I also don’t have fb so maybe that’s common for my target demographic.

I was simply asking a question- not insinuating anything.
