It's included in the Blizzard Arcade Collection, which you can at least get on PC today for $9.99 USD.

Even better - they also have gett.ing, which redirects to get.ing.

There are three window panes on a commercial plane. The outside pane maintains pressure, while the middle one is a failsafe in the event the outside pane fails (the inner pane is cosmetic and to prevent people from messing with the important panes).

Without reading the report, the outside pane could have failed and hit the stabilizer while the middle pane continued to hold pressure as expected, therefore no contradiction in the two statements.

Yes, more Poles than Danes IIRC, which given Iceland's history is quite the feat. Similar to the UK, Polish workers occupy a lot of the builders/drivers/cleaners type blue collar positions in the economy.

If you visit Wilsonville, OR or Tukwila, WA, you can go to an arcade / go-kart / mini-golf center that's Rocky & Bullwinkle themed. When I was a kid I thought R&B were on the same level as like Disneyland as every birthday party or event was hosted at one of them.

Where I lived in (western) Germany, there were still loads of pillboxes and bunkers from the war. The ones they did have to destroy often required ridiculous amounts of explosive to have any effect. I went on a tour of the area once and the guide mentioned how they had needed to flood some of the bunkers with water first to increase the efficacy of the explosives.

Yes, Subaru Starlink is their remote connection platform that uses cellular. No relation to Musk.

Downloaded the game based on this comment. The Zero-Instruction computer achievement was one of the most fun "sidequests" I've played in this type of game. Thanks!

ninja edit: the lack of vim mappings is killing me

Eh, not to move the goalposts but five are doc fixes (one of which is about their company). I would have expected more from the author of this post.

EMT here: highly recommend this! If you’re in the US, there’s a pretty big need for EMTs everywhere. A 3 month community college course will get you an intro job essentially no questions asked. From there you can pivot to fire if you’re physically capable, or go the paramedic route (2 more years of school). The starting pay for an EMT will be garbage, but firefighters and paramedics can make pretty good salaries depending on location.

The most important part to me was feeling like I was actually making a difference in people’s lives. I’ve done more for others in a single shift than in 5 years of one of my tech jobs. It doesn’t put food on the table, but it does help me sleep at night.

And if you are working in tech, there’s some interesting crossover applications. I’ve applied knowledge from EMS to working on EMRs for instance.

> That being said, after HashiCorp’s CTO released “binding” answers to some of these FAQs, it seems clear that the only folks who this affects are those that sell software to other companies.

I’m not so sure about this. The Licensing FAQ doesn’t have the full legal weight of an update or addendum to the actual license. There’s no guarantee that they won’t renege these “binding” answers next year, and unlike the license agreement my company isn’t agreeing to them as terms of use.

If you know any ER docs/nurses/techs, ask them about cannabinoid hyperemesis and the denial that patients are in around their level of addiction.

At least on my side the pop-up isn’t a paywall, but just a nag. Clicking the (small, greyed out) “continue reading” option allowed me to read the rest of the article.

Right now I’m about 50/50 between software engineering and EMS. The value of the work I do as an EMT is obviously much greater, but the pay disparity is so vast it’s hard to commit to the jump. Aside from what other comments have already noted, I’d get ready for work being much much harder on you and your body on a daily basis. You may not have to think about the job outside of working hours, but there’s a new level of physical exhaustion that comes from being on your feet working 12 hours a day then doing the same the next day. And the next, and the next.

Additionally, you may find the new rules and regs of your position to be grating. Since you’re in sales, you can set your own schedule to some degree. That flips to needing to get permission to leave work for the slightest reason. This extends to relationships between you and your bosses as well. At my software job I tend to collaborate with management, in EMS I take orders.

I'll add this guy, who is building a 1:60 model 777 out of paper, with unfathomable levels of detail: https://www.lucaiaconistewart.com/model-777

Even so, you can be promoted mid-cycle in orgs like this. My team opened up a senior eng slot at the 6 month mark and had a team member apply. Counted as an internal job transfer rather than a promotion.

And as a person working in tech for the past 10 years, I had never heard of Boolean Satisfiability let alone SAT until I read through the comments on the post and the linked Wiki page. I would suggest that this topic is not as universal as you think it is.

Sourcegraph should’ve accepted that offer from GitHub.

They did pay out employees for their remaining bank of PTO when they announced the switch, so this should have limited financial impact.

retractionwatch.com and .org monitor retracted papers, and they publish plugins for Zotero and similar tools.

In Texas, Favor (owned by HEB, the grocery chain) allows for this. They interface directly with some restaurants like UberEats or Grubhub, but you can order anything from anywhere and they’ll go and place the order as a regular to-go request.

Removing the caps should trigger an out-of-band notification such as an email to all stakeholders, ensuring the legit admins will be notified. This should also be the case for admin removal or disabling billing alerts. I have no idea if Azure actually does this though.

I received a bachelor’s in International Relations from a low tier liberal arts program. I always found it curious that our professors had received PhDs from Ivy League and similar schools, and here they were at an unknown tech school. If going to an Ivy was needed to teach here, where were the PhD candidates at my school going to teach?

I wonder how many websites / applications would break or error if a user tried to enter a valid 555 number.

According to the wiki page [0], the plane was destroyed but the pilot ejected and survived.

What makes these workers “compromised” in your view?

If you haven't seen it yet, a relevant thread on Twitter from the Museum of English Rural Life: https://twitter.com/TheMERL/status/1048541160271237120

It started by taking over regulation of pipelines in the 1910s. That seems like a logical step to me, but over time their purview has expanded to O&G plants and energy production. They aren’t responsible for public utilities, but a lot of the winterization plans were around upgrading pipelines that froze in the storm.

According to Wikipedia they haven’t dealt with rail since 2005, but it’s been a lot longer since the RRs were politically relevant to the office.

In response to your tangent, I’ll note that this took place in one of the reddest states in the US. This isn’t endemic in the tech industry so much as it is in large corporations. Check the back office of your largest suppliers and you’ll hear similar stories.
