Is Ernest still here?
  • Considering his last post was about going to the hospital for a few days, over a month ago, I suspect he's not okay.

    Regardless, I just cancelled my $5/mo donation towards the development of the kbin software. Seeing as how there hasn't been any development in over a month.

  • Reddit’s IPO Filing Shows Lots Of Losses After Nearly 20 Years
  • I'd imagine reddit could be profitable too if they stopped throwing money at stupid shit like NFTs and avatars. Selling API access for AI training was a good move in terms of bringing in income since it basically costs them nothing, and they could have totally pulled that off without pissing off half their userbase.

  • Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo?
  • The reason I don't think it's all that in line with Diablo these days, though, is simply the pacing of the gameplay. You blow up screens of enemies at a time, and your deaths are often so fast that you're not really sure what killed you.

    Yeah, that's why I don't care for POE anymore these days.

    U.S. workers are getting scooped up by international companies hiring remote roles
  • Don't be a contractor. Unless you're unusually skilled or have a very exotic and rare niche that you're an expert in then being a contractor is a step down for most people in the software field imo. Look for direct hire.

    Paine Field is western Washington's second-largest airport behind Seattle-Tacoma International.

    The county announced Tuesday that Paine Field's official name would be Seattle Paine Field International Airport, adding the Emerald City to the title. In a press release, the change will improve the airport's marketing abilities outside of the region and "reinforce its geographic proximity" to Seattle.

    Linguists have identified a new English dialect that's emerging in South Florida
    theconversation.com Linguists have identified a new English dialect that's emerging in South Florida

    It came about through sustained contact with native Spanish speakers who directly translated phrases from Spanish into English, a form of linguistic borrowing called ‘calques.’

    Linguists have identified a new English dialect that's emerging in South Florida

    “We got down from the car and went inside.”

    “I made the line to pay for groceries.”

    “He made a party to celebrate his son’s birthday.”

    These phrases might sound off to the ears of most English-speaking Americans.

    In Miami, however, they’ve become part of the local parlance.

    According to my recently published research, these expressions – along with a host of others – form part of a new dialect taking shape in South Florida.

    This language variety came about through sustained contact between Spanish and English speakers, particularly when speakers translated directly from Spanish.
