Managing humans is hard work. Team dynamics are complicated. Communication is uncertain. Relationships with power imbalances are fraught. People's lives get messy and that leaks into their work. Performance is sometimes uneven and you have to deal with it.
My account is seventeen years old, and I've been coding more than forty years; is that enough to meet your standards?
I do love the weird new world we're in. I feel as though I've been a player in an orchestra all my life, doing a little one-man-band act on the side, and suddenly I've been handed the baton and now I get to conduct the whole show.
This is a common experience with any unfamiliar genre: it all looks or sounds the same at first, because the point of a genre is to express variation within a specific, familiar structure. As a newcomer, the structure dominates your perception, until you've exposed yourself to enough instances that you can filter out the common features and notice the details, which are where the actual creativity lies.
You can get a shirt made to measure from https://www.hockerty.com, in your choice of material and at quite a reasonable price. I have a few of them. It's basic construction, not high-end luxury fashion, but it feels really good to have a shirt which fits you exactly.
I'd like to know more about that incident, if you have any information. So far as I'm aware, it's the first time someone has died after falling off a structure at Burning Man (though plenty of people have been injured, of course).
I just wrote my own, tailored exactly to my preferences, and I've been using it ever since. Editors are not trivial, but the scale is reasonable for a single-developer hobby project.
I have literally never spent a moment worrying about this. How do you even know that this is the case for your phone? If my phone gets security updates, it never tells me about them.
If I'm lining up to order from a shabby old school bus with a menu in the window written in sharpie on a piece of cardboard, I know I'm a couple minutes away from tucking into some banging tacos.
Seems to me it's an indicator that the owner cares more about making and serving food or drink than they do about advertising it. I'd feel differently if some big corporate chain were doing this, but if it's a little "mom & pop"/"hole in the wall" type place, cheap advertising is a neutral-to-positive signal.
I loved my first tungsten wedding ring so much I got another one when I remarried. It has a really satisfying feeling of solidity. Your safety concern does not trouble me at all: yes, it's a very hard metal, but it's brittle. You can't cut a stuck tungsten ring loose the way you can a gold ring, but you can easily break it, using a hammer or a pair of vice-grips.
A consequence of this approach is that the insurance industry might as well not exist as far as I am concerned; they have poisoned their entire value proposition. I will not voluntarily do business with people who plan to screw me over.
I buy bare minimum coverage because it has been my experience that you end up screwed in the event of a collision no matter what kind of insurance you have. Insurance companies are in the business of taking your money now and finding every possible excuse not to give it back later; I'd rather keep it in my own pocket.
This is part of the reason I prefer inexpensive cars: buying only what I can afford to pay for outright means there is no loan which would obligate me to carry a comprehensive insurance policy.
The experience you envision does not sound so strange to me, having grown up in an intensely religious subculture which had a sense of truth quite distinct from that of mainstream society. Observing the blatant conflict between different communities' world-views engendered a healthy skepticism which has served me well through life. I think the kids will be all right.
I never got over the BlackBerry. Even after years of typing on glass, I still feel clumsy and uncomfortable. I avoid typing on my phone any more than I have to, because it is an exercise in frustration. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Clicks Communicator:
Regulation kills the value proposition. You are basically describing a "neighborhood electric vehicle", but US law limits them to 25 mph, and it is not legal to drive them on many arterials, so they are only really useful inside communities which were designed for them.
Seattle, late middle age. Kid just started high school. My wife has a large e-bike with a passenger seat, but replaced it with a cargo basket a couple years ago after the kiddo outgrew it.
I didn't say that scooters were a solution for everyone, you may note. I don't think there ought to be one solution for everyone, but given the option of micromobility, I really have no use for autonomous vehicles.
Why wouldn't they just blame the nurse anyway? The law always puts somebody on the hook. The nurse's job will be to do what the AI says and take the blame when it fails.
Rental scooters/bikes cover last mile service very well in my experience. I use transit a great deal more than I would if I had to walk so much on either end of the trip.
Your body is, maybe, but we're not all the same. Making my body sit still and do nothing requires sustained, focused attention; action is the comfort state, and idleness the burden.
"Fine, I'll build my own text editor" is certainly a familiar sentence, one I've uttered several times, but it would never in a thousand years occur to me to take the next step in a web browser. Interesting to see such a different approach to the world: thank you for sharing.
Yes, exactly, what time do people think they have? It's here, it's now, it's happening, it's all around us. This headline would have made a little more sense ten years ago.
Having been an REI member through my entire adulthood, after shopping there with my family as long as I can remember, it's bizarre to see the name reused for some AI project. I wonder why this organization chose such a jarring name for themselves, but I can't find any "about" page or the like which would explain the choice, or really anything else about them. Is this site meant to be cryptic?
