I stayed at a ryokan in Japan recently, and of course the baths and pools are 100% nude, and people strip down naked in the changing rooms to enter them. Men and women separate at all times.
It was a new experience for me but it also felt 100% natural and by the second night it was totally normal and I didn’t feel modest or anything. There was an unspoken understanding that we’re all there to just relax and recover and help our bodies feel good. Nobody made me feel weird or self conscious, nobody stared, no one made comments or really even said much of anything outside of a few funny jokes that we all laughed at that had nothing to do with the setting.
100%. I think people are way more likely to know the name of one of their favorite artists versus the owner of an online platform, no matter what that platform is.
I like to constrain myself to OPA/Rego if what I’m doing can be modeled in JSON easily. I like the idea that the entire pipeline is “JSON in, parse it, JSON out”. Probably most people would have heard of it or worked with it adjacent to Kubernetes, but I’ve used it for determining scores for a soccer fantasy league I run, and I have a work in progress Pokémon gen 1 battle engine about half done with it. The constraint of “all the rules eval at once” is particularly challenging sometimes.
The family-owned Mexican restaurant literally across the street from the nearest Chipotle sells their burritos starting at 7.99, 9.99 if you want to add a full side order of rice and beans. I can get two full meals for almost the same price as Chipotle. Sounds like OP’s local places are ripping them off.
In my experience the quarantine flag gets added if the file is downloaded via browser, chat program, email, or some other way that isn’t curl/wget/other CLI tool. At least for the past 6-8 months this has been my experience. Not that it excuses anything, but for what I have had to deal with it’s been somewhat helpful.
As one of the “self taught software engineers that made a great career for myself”, I think you are correct. Maybe not so much in the “better or worse” sense, but there are definitely moments in my “real job” where I can recognize that the thing we’re talking about or working on is something that my colleagues had formal instruction on and I didn’t, and usually in cases like this they’re better suited to talk about and work though the problem.
To me the biggest difference is that they had the time/opportunity to work on a huge breadth of different problems and develop their pattern matching ability, whereas I only get to work on problems specific to my role/employer, so anything extra I have to learn on my own time. But they already know it.
Really? I grow blueberries, strawberries, several cultivars of hot/sweet peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, garlic, bush beans, and several different herbs, and without fail ALL of them taste way better than the store bought version. That isn’t to say the store versions are always bad, but you know the home grown ones every single time.
Google thinks the same of me and I don't even edit the URL. I can have a session working just fine one night and come back the next day, open a new tab to search for something, and get captcha'd to hell. I'm fairly sure they just mess with Firefox on purpose. I won't install Brave, Chrome, or Edge out of principle either. Safari works fine, but I don't like it.
But you know that in this case it’s true since the discussion is about the US in particular. So this “enlightened” take is really just snide time wasting.
Illustrator for iPad. Especially coming from CS6. It seems like most of the functionality exists, but some things are incredibly tedious to change or are buried too many menus deep. It’s almost an uncanny valley thing, it’s too close to what I’m used to that it throws me off. I tend to only reach for it when I specifically want use a stylus/pencil and then go back to desktop as soon as I can.

Every single thread or post about anything adjacent to cars or public transportation devolves into this. There is hardly any nuance, little effort is made to respond in good faith, and there are insults and insinuations thrown around all the time. Anyone perceived as being on the “wrong side” is instantly given a label and mocked. You don’t even have to be overzealous about it. Even the most benign comment will have someone piling on usually. “Just one more bus bro”
This was fun, definitely some in there that I didn't know and will have to read about. I thought a few were a little bit contrived but depending on the order you guess in they might be a little more obvious.
