Wow. I had somehow completely forgotten about the concept of clip art.

And they have the SoftDisk releases. This is gold

Sure, or he fiddles with kubernetes at Turo or some bullshit and thinks he’s changing the world.

I see they have decided to ignore the fact that the previous model’s remote is a flaming piece of poo

Those laws exist to protect gun manufacturers and their profits, not the American people.

Their own lives

The author is clearly referring to the time immediately following 9/11, which is by far the most united these states have been since WW2.

You are not alone

I’d say 15 years is fairly amazing considering how fickle social media crowds were when FB showed up.

This is giving me Leeeeroyyyy Jenkinssssss vibes

I recall some other ticketing companies moving in a few years back and now it seems that Ticketmaster has regained a lot of their original stronghold. It could just be the Denver area, but they are everywhere again over here.

Wowwwww

Somewhat off-topic, but I wanted to buy some tickets for a comedian and the venue uses Ticketmaster. The tickets were $75/ea and the service fees were $65/ea. How in the hell are the service fees basically the same price as the price of admission?

A company I was working for wanted to bring on a couple of freelance devs for a short-term project and I had to handle the interviews.

I ended up uncovering a whole scheme where an experienced dev in the US would hop on the calls/video interview and then the actual work would be handed off to some other people based overseas.

If you tried to contact the “dev” for something, your call would be routed to a google voice number and you’d receive a text message in somewhat broken English shortly after.

Their scam only lasted a few hours with us, but I often wonder how well they are able to pull this off.

Real developers ship = real writers write = real painters paint, etc.

If you want to create things — anything, you put your ass in that chair every day regardless of whether you feel you are accomplishing anything. Eventually, you will start to make progress towards your goal. It gets better as you become better at staying the course.

Highly recommend The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, which is a short, but important read on this very topic.

I absolutely love that (see Al Capone) is the example used while discussing some dude who was accidentally sent money by google.

I think it’s quite understandable to have an emotional response. People who become fixtures in our lives die and it instantly fires the signals of our own mortality we spend our lives suppressing.

The iron version of PiPi’s Splashtown

Funny, this is actually a common issue with M1s and people are resorting to using third party software

Sadly, it gets much worse the more you look into it.

I revisit Masters of Doom every year or two. I adore that book. The audiobook is fantastic, as well.

I have unfortunately experienced exactly what you describe.

The inverse, and he also mentioned that he had just finished signing a deal for the VC money just before the interview

I created a physician employment company which operates on the same model. I think Japanese culture has been the unsung hero here, when considering the OP company relies on an honor code of sorts.

jQuery and the many plug-ins people wrote for it were amazing.

What was not amazing was the manner in which many projects utilized them.

I lean on this quite often.

I find it really useful to utilize normal relational db things for 98% of your table and then have a column or two where you can store json objects and run queries for deep nested values equals x and things like json contains such and such value, etc.

Stranger Things has been the main theme at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights in the past

It pains me greatly that somehow Reddit engulfed just about every forum on earth, because I despise the way they force you onto the app.

Their manipulation of search engines’ “last updated” parameters are also egregious.

I guess I’m one of those weirdos who took that to mean “people can’t afford to live” and not so much a statistical analysis on the price of gas and groceries.

Outside of the tech world, this is absolutely true. My wife is an elementary school teacher and a few of her coworkers have to drive for Lyft or do something similar a couple of nights per week or on weekends just to be able to afford their apartments. These aren’t exactly luxury digs, either.
