Similarly to the “just move” when people talk about home prices, this argument holds up as long as there are alternatives.
I live in the middle of corn fields and hour out of the largest city in the province. I work from home on most days, and take the train to the office downtown a couple of days a month. I’m a tech lead in insurance, somewhat in between management and programming.
In the summer, on weekends, there’s a good chance I’ll have woken up early for a golf round, then spent some time with the wife and kids doing whatever.
Hmm, depends if we’re talking a summer or winter day haha. There’s like a 50°C+ differential, so it tends to heavily dictate what we’re doing outside work/home/errands haha.
Really leaning into that “coder wants to become carpenter” stereotype I see ;) It was one of the things I wanted to do growing up, and is still a skill I’d love to develop. I just didn’t have room to do that kind of work until recently hehe…
To be honest, these days I’m wary of turning fun things or hobbies into work. I’m pretty sure that if I ended up building furniture for other people like I have to write code, I’d start hating it too. Coding tends to pay much better anyway haha…
I guess we should have added the word “notable”
I’m terribly sorry, you left the door wide open ;)
I’m curious, what makes AppImage a good choice for the lazy developer? Is it easier to create?
Why would a doctor prescribe an alternative to coffee or tea in the first place though?
There’s actually a kids TV show where the characters are all vehicles (based on some VTech toy line lol), where the main character is part of a family of cars, that’s called Cory Carson.
I read it in the sense that they were hurting for plasma donations in particular, and that because they can store it for longer, a single donation has more potential impact, not that they only took plasma donations.
Ah, yeah, that’s probably it. I eat patna rice pretty much exclusively, and multiple times a week lol. Some rice types (especially whole-grain, brown or wild rice varieties) have different water ratios and indeed kind of defeats the whole set-and-forget thing.
Key word “that much more”. It is therefore indeed “more” work, and it’s my, and many other people’s, reason for getting one. I also suppose many discussions we’ve both had in our comment history were also had by other people lol
Yeah but then you have to watch it and think about it versus I press a button and it comes out perfect every time lol
Man, I dip it in ketchup like a literal toddler.
They managed to patent the concept of capacitive buttons in a plastic case, for fucks sake. The whole patent system is broken beyond repair…
"We're not tasked with building deeply affordable or social housing. We can't be there. We're in business. Let's draw a line between these two," said Michael Brooks, president of Realpac, an organization that represents many of Canada's biggest landlords, including Starlight.
I mean, yes, by definition your landlords are in it for the ROI. But there is no line to be drawn. It’s the same housing market, the same people who can’t afford to live. Canadians can’t afford to draw a line.
That makes it 142/433 where the shooter was shot by a “good guy with a gun”. Hardly a great figure either way…
An app “talks” to server through some interface (what they call an API). If the interface is known, another app can use the same interface. Telegram goes as far as providing code that interfaces with their protocol and full API documentation to explain how to use it. The base app is open source too, so developers can even peek at how the official app does it for inspiration.
