> - he also didn't specify the ages of any of his kids, so there's no reason to assume that any others have graduated

Well, he said he's an empty nester now. So...

Stack Overflow's annual developer survey the most used operating system was Windows with 45.8% of respondents, and MacOS and Linux split the rest pretty evenly.

They still haven't fixed it. My partner works for the federal government. She was bumped up to a new pay scale and suddenly stopped being paid for 2 months. When she did start getting paid it was at the old level and she hasn't received the missing 2 months salary yet. She had to open three separate cases to 1) receive the missing pay, 2) have her pay scale updated in the system, and 3) receive the difference between her old salary and new salary for however long they continue to pay her at the old rate.

One of her coworkers hasn't been paid in almost 6 months.

Was the repeal a result of it not working, or a result of a more billionaire-friendly party returning to power?

It has nothing to do with whether or not the job is hard. I've worked retail, food service, and landscaping jobs through high school and university. I know those jobs aren't easy.

The difference is that those jobs require workers to be present throughout the day in order to get work done. As a software developer I could probably cut my hours per day and produce the same amount of output. As a waiter my productivity (and earnings) was dependent on customers showing up to the restaurant. If I only worked 6 hours instead of 8, or 4 days instead of 5, then I served fewer customers and earned fewer tips.

> No one has said anything about harassing Blizzard employees. What on Earth are you talking about?

> Too bad. They should be dreading this event. Blizzard have publicly fucked up in a very big way, and now the people that represent Blizzard are going to have to deal with that.

What do you think the Blizzard employees are going to "have to deal with" if not harassment at BlizzCon?

No.

Smaller dogs don't need as long usually. They have shorter legs so it's more of a workout for them to walk around the block than it is for larger dogs. Just think about how many times their little legs have to step to keep up with one of your steps. Obviously there is some breed variance as well.

I have two German Shepherd dogs. They're getting older (9.5 years) but we've found that their ideal is two 45 minute walks. My partner takes them for a 45 minute walk in the morning and I take them for a 45 minute walk in the afternoon when I get home from work. We're fortunate to have a large backyard as well, so I also throw the ball for them after the afternoon walk until they lay down in the grass and don't want to play anymore.

According to the article they reimbursed the owner $2000, two months after $4500 worth of equipment was stolen. Still not confidence inspiring.

The third google link is to an article on PetaPixel [0] with just as much detail as this and a very similar headline "How I Lent My $4,500 Camera Kit for $95 and Had It Stolen", from October 2018. The author here clearly didn't google anything about KitSplit, or if they did weren't convinced by the existing documentation of bad behaviour. I'm not sure why this new article would be any different.

Domestic cats are an invasive species. They're not a natural part of the food chain, they're not doing any good by killing or even eating what they kill, they just do it for fun. They basically have no predators because they live where we live, and we chase off or kill predators.

I've never understood why cats are allowed to roam the world unsupervised to kill birds and poop in my tomato garden.

Reading about the Oostvaardersplassen is interesting, it seems to have a lot of major problems, mostly related to being too small. I'm not sure that introducing wolves is a good idea, don't they typically need more space to roam?

The article is a commentary on the vilification of wolves, not whether or not they're literally prey animals.

The lawyer was surprised that someone actually read the contract, not that the contract contained a satisfaction clause. The lawyer was probably already aware that the clause was there, and it's a standard contract that they use for all contractors.

> Renewable energy is not really a proven concept yet.

What do you mean by this?

That seems like a separate issue to me, the general consumerism around wanting a new car/phone/widget every year or two. For the time being though, I don't think that's necessarily a problem with electric cars. Sure, some people will sell their electric car and buy a new one every two years, but that creates a used electric car that someone who can't afford a new Tesla can buy, thus removing another ICE vehicle from the road. Of course in an ideal world we'd all drive our 1995 Honda Civics until they rust out from under us and THEN buy an electric car... but that's not realistic.

Really - you can't think of any solutions for heating and cooling houses without burning fossil fuels? Electric baseboard heaters have been a thing forever, just power those with solar or wind or nuclear and we're done. My air conditioner is already electric.

Drive an electric car, and buy renewable electricity.

You're confusing the concept of a social construct with "things invented by humans".

Any building can be insulated, you just have to spend the money and sacrifice some internal space. Frame the inside of the walls and put in insulation.

Neat video, really drives home how essential super chargers are to the usefulness of electric vehicles. Sitting for 12 hours in a trailer park to get another 200 miles of range is insane.

Also, this guy has some serious driving PTSD or something, he's so scared of cars that he thinks its dangerous to drive on an empty highway at night. Yikes.

Might be a little bit of self selection bias going on here.

Pretty easy to understand if you swap what the software is detecting to "asteroids which are on impact course with earth". Basic functionality is to detect asteroids which are on a collision course with earth. The fact that no undetected asteroids struck earth doesn't mean the software worked or didn't work, nor does it mean that detecting asteroids which are on a collosion course with earth is not basic functionality.

Don't most dark themes actually use dark grey rather than black? The material design dark theme guidelines [0] were posted recently and recommend dark grey as the primary surface colour.

"Student volunteer" probably refers to undergrad students who are working on their theses.

Here in Canada I've had to sit and wait on the bus while the drive goes into Tim Horton's (coffee shop) because the bus is ahead of schedule.

Theoretically a plane may have to sit in a holding pattern if it arrives too early, either due to congestion at the airport or not having a landing slot.

He's not a US citizen.

What do you imagine is going to happen if you upload your photo?

Presumably it's easier to include extra vitamins and minerals in artificial meat than it is for 'real' meat.
