the people would stay, just one of them would be informing the other that neither are real

would have preferred “we’re not people” on this one

after paying them, they will no longer work at this post office or be involved at all or get any of the profit, and instead you will do all of those things (presumably as a team with your husband, according to the ad).

it’s like buying a fast food franchise.

are you gatekeeping burritos 😳

some programmer somewhere arbitrarily chose a number that they felt sounded reasonable

The internet didn’t exist at this time, but those two words did, and referred to their pre-internet equivalents.

Also, I was making a joke. But you do happen to be incorrect.

It’s the “radio” option, they just haven’t updated the form in 40y

i haven’t used wired headphones since a few years before jacks went away, and i have never missed that effing cable

i mean the toilet keeps exploding, how’s anyone gonna keep the floor clean in those circumstances

and now the theme is stuck in my head

having is less annoying way of not doing needless/bug-prone repetition. if you select someCalculatedValue(someInput) as lol you can add having lol > 42 in mysql, whereas without (ie in pgsql) you’d need to do where someCalculatedValue(someInput) > 42, and make sure changes to that call stay in sync despite how far apart they are in a complex sql statement.

most languages have some first or third party lib that implements a query builder

i didn’t crack til 42

General deep dives on random topics:

• secretly incredibly fascinating
• stuff you should know

stuff about the animal world:

• creature feature

linguistics and how we communicate:

• lexicon valley
• lingthusiasm

You just apply anyway.

Usually they’re not willing to pay anywhere close to doctorate money for doctorates anyway, and will end up settling no matter who they pick.

I’m not sure if i’ve ever known any engineer who has met the listed job requirements for their role. They say requirements, but what they mean is “this is my ideal”. Put another way: think of it like a dating app profile. dude may act like he only dates 10s in his profile, but you show him some attention and suddenly you’re just as good as a 10, because he’s lonely and needs affection from someone.

Basically, for most companies, they’re essentially the corporate version of incels. Way too high of standards, but will settle for anyone who is into them regardless of what they think their standards are, because they just need someone ASAP, and their standards disappear quickly once you make yourself available.

I’ve enjoyed a 20+ year long career as a programmer, and I dropped out of college 3 months in because i couldn’t afford it. That’s because early in my career i took a few shitty jobs until i had a decent enough resume that i didn’t have to take shitty jobs anymore. That took study and practice and passion in programming, but i did that for fun years before i even showed up on the university doorstep.

Same except i dropped out of college 3 months in and have enjoyed a healthy career for the last 20 years anyway.

my hopes of a spidey/daredevil team up game have been foiled is the real tragedy here

so it was like every demo ever? k

It’s not really editing titles. They publish it with various titles that get split-tested at first, whichever version of the title gets more clicks then becomes the only title used.
