Interesting how the connotations of parent guidance have changed over the years. It’s pretty rare these days to see “no parental guidance necessary.”

Agreed, but I’m free to curate the tools I use based on whatever criteria I want.

They are paying sponsors, not consumers. You should read the rest of the comments about these specific gambling organizations and their motives.

In my mind, it’s one thing to omit information I don’t know but another to withhold information

I did not realize this until now, thanks for pointing it out. I will have to find an alternative because explaining to clients that I use software that openly and prolifically “sells out” to casinos isn’t something I want to spend my time doing

It’s very easy, and free, to remove the flow restrictors that shower heads have these days. For example, Waterpik shower heads can be purchased for closer to $30-40 in the US and removing the flow restrictor takes less than 5 minutes.

> you can reasonably expect your meal to cost significantly more than you would at a suburban drive-thru outside of Des Moines.

I live in Des Moines, IA and this felt like a jab when I initially read it, but it’s nice to live somewhere with a low cost of living and well-paying jobs.

Software dev here and can’t imagine my life without technology. From ease of access to information to home automation to instant communication with friends and family far away.

That said, I think the quantity of time we spend using technology has decreased our quality of life by reducing real-life human interaction and decreasing physical activity. I like to think my brain operates like a computer but it needs more downtime without stimulation than I give it.

I hope we start trending back to more human interaction and physical activity than the trend over the last 10 years of spending more and more time using technology.

Scala is a difficult language to learn but, once I got past the learning curve, I found it to be enjoyable and powerful. The cats effect [0] framework is a no-brainer for chaining side effects.

"Apply to local companies, not just remote ones."

This should be emphasized more. I have a remote-first job but at a local company. The best of both worlds in my opinion because I can be in the office when I want and have the flexibility I want.

I also think local companies with less than 500 employees are more likely to care about location than larger businesses.

"C$2.88 ($2.25) in free food and beverages, which could very well be more than class members could expect to get in cash."

Even so, it costs Tim Hortons much less than $2.25 for the coffee and donut...
