  1. If my buddies' ex (a hair dresser) is required to have more schooling and education than US law enforcement officers, I feel it's safe to say that none of these officers are "trained".
  2. Adblocker support, in chrome? Does that exist still (I use FF at home with blockers and vanila chrome without extensions at work).
  3. Have you heard of Tidal? I swapped to them from Spotify back when Spotify did a big round of layoffs. Tidal had the music I was looking for (generally higher quality recordings) for the same monthly cost of Spotify.
  4. And all of the instability over the last year has countries re-evaluating USD as the world reserve currency (I would imagine at least).
  5. What would we do when we ran out of blind people?
  6. Man I would kill for some direction from my "architects", even if it were a bit wrong. I'm at the point that I can't even get them to review my architectural diagrams demanded by my company to guide me on what's expected.
  7. If you're in the new world (the Americas) house cats are an invasive species that, when let to roam outside, harm the native small animal population. Cats shouldn't be left outside to roam free in this situation.
  8. Some peopledo things acknowledging that there may be backlash for an action when they feel it's the right thing to do.
  9. Dang that way of helping folks fix their problems without loosing face is such a cool approach!
  10. Depending on how many levels of indirection there are (i.e. how many formulas reference other cells/the results of other formulas in other cells) I've found that using "trace precedents" and "trace dependents" in the formulas tabe to be helpful.
  11. You're describing what a well designed tax system should be doing. Philanthropy is just the rich convincing us that things are fine, and we shouldn't worry that billionaires exist.
  12. Could be simpler than that even as several garage door openers have a simple hard line switch that you could hook into with some cable splicing.
  13. For all managers and all staff beyond entry level!
  14. Just damn, that's quite the rollercoaster. It's great that everything worked out for the better!
  15. > Also what shortsighted scifi book

    It's art not oracle

  16. I think @exitb is referring to how it's harder to interact with other students after the lecture is over in a remote course. There's a lot less likely hood to strike up conversation.
  17. Hard to prove that a paid course at a university, which throughout the history of modern western education (1000 CE to present) has been taught by a human, didn't perform it's duties?
  18. Perhaps the socioeconomic divide won't be as big of an issue as you think. If you haven't heard of the Mississippi Miracle [1], it's worth learning about.

    The bigger issue is convincing education departments that phonics are the more successful way to learn reading.

  19. Whenever I see "XYZ Company supports this restrictive legislation" I immediately think of regulatory capture. Every new regulation is a new hurdle for competitors.
  20. How much of the refusal to eat anything healthy stems from lack of good options? The example given (an apple) in an American school setting brings to mind my cafeteria serving only Red Delicious (which is one of the worst apples for taste).

    When the option is some fried food vs a wilted salad with no protein source, it's a wonder that any kid would choose the salad.

    I would love to see better options that are both healthy and enticing. Until then I doubt that we will see much change when the choice of what to eat in the lunch room is left to the children.

  21. Well an obvious recent attempt happened in America with their latest jobs numbers. The President tried to bully the record keeper to change the numbers. When that didn't work the President moved to fire the record keeper (the last I checked the record keeper still has their job).
  22. The value I get is that it helps me catch errors before I ask others to check my work, and I use my PR comments as a teaching tool (I'm one of the seniors on the team).
  23. I've been doing this as part of my workflow for a few years now. My coworkers have expressed appreciation around that effort.

    A nice side effect is that going through a self review and adding comments to the PR has helped me catch innumerable things that my coworkers never had to call me on.

  24. I work at a fortune 250 and cost of the licence was the given reason for moving to podman for the whole org.
  25. Yeah, but then you're using Oracle.
  26. Just to echo the sentiment, I've had struggles trying to figure out how to use LLMs in my daily work.

    I've landed on using it as part of my code review process before asking someone to review my PR. I get a lot of the nice things that LLMs can give me (a second set of eyes, a somewhat consistent reviewer) but without the downsides (no waiting on the agent to finish writing code that may not work, costs me personally nothing in time and effort as my Org pays for the LLM, when it hallucinates I can easily ignore it).

  27. I wouldn't say it's doomed. For projects in large organizations that have a large amount of java already, it provides better ergonomics while allowing interop with the existing company ecosystem.
  28. R&D was already a massive thing before trickle down economics came on the scene. In fact I would argue that since stock buy backs and trickle down economics became the operating model R&D went down. Mainly due to the fact that stock buy backs guaranteed stock growth where as R&D could be hit or miss.
  29. This looks like it's a website without an app, so a few questions for you:

    1. How does the site perform on mobile? If it doesn't that's a non starter for a large audience segment.

    2. What's the pricing? There are several free options out there for managing your book collection, so unless there's a fremium tier (which there's no concrete language about pricing on the pricing page around subscription cost or subscription tiers) less people will want to try this out.

    3. Why should someone use a web based library management tool over one that's hosted locally (either as a phone app, or as a site local to your network)?

    4. What problems does this solve that others have missed? I would love for that to be front and center on the landing page.
