Not sure why you’re out here defending hugely unpopular behavior.

People arguing for it just care about eliminating the change. The direction doesn’t really matter. The total amount of daylight remains the same.

Yeah, European salaries across the board are generally lower than the US by quite a bit, but we also typically pay for a lot more services than Europeans do as generally a lot more is privatized (healthcare, etc.). $100k is typically what most middle class Americans are striving for in order to have a relatively “comfortable” life, buy a house, etc. (though honestly, the housing market today is so fucking insane that even that isn’t really enough to buy a house in many places now). The median household income in 2023 was $80,610, for reference.

Yeah, it’s pretty fucking insane the things people are taking on debt for. I genuinely can’t understand it. I mean, I know we live in a society that’s pretty fucked from capitalism and inequality and stuff isn’t easy, but it is common sense to avoid debt as much as possible. Do they just think the money is free?

Living on $50k/year is not easy. The federal poverty line for a family of 4 is $31,200, and many consider those numbers to be much too low.

There’s absolutely no need to target normal American households with more taxes. Billionaires already don’t pay their (too low) taxes and have far, far more than they need that they’ve taken from the labor of others. Actually taxing them appropriately would cover everything we could possibly need and then some.

We should be raising substantially the minimum income needed before you have to pay taxes. It’s fucking stupid to be levying a bunch of tax on people who are struggling to make ends meet.

JFC I will definitely stay the fuck away from whatever garbage this is.

Yeah, standard practice is to set up source control before doing any work at all. Then you add whatever project template/scaffolding files to an initial commit and make it, and keep committing from there.

You should always be committing early and often. Saves you a lot of headache and make it a lot easier to clean up your history later too.

Monorepos are a thing. But obviously this is something entirely different.

Reviewers are not infallible and are largely focused on the meat of the MR rather than every single detail.

It reflects much more poorly on you than it does on them.

My wife and I think it is. I took her last name since it meant more to her.

Don’t need the Ord instance for equality, just Eq is sufficient. Ord is for inequalities.

The point of the post is that most mainstream languages don’t provide a way to automatically derive point-wise equality by value, even though it’s pervasively used everywhere. They instead need IDEs to generate the boilerplate rather than the compiler handling it.

Ah could be hardware/OS, yeah. I believe everyone at our company are on MacBooks (I’m a Linux guy myself, but orgs don’t usually like that).

My personal laptop is a Dell XPS 13 and while I like it for various reasons, it has had plenty of problems with the built-in mic and video (mostly the mic). So it very well could be that.

We have like 250, mostly remote and on Slack all the time. There’s the occasional hiccup here and there, but generally it’s pretty seamless.

I’ve personally never had an issue with Slack, mic/video included. My connection has always been solid, though. Never tried on a shit connection.

Probably.

Hell, I used it to figure out the optimal viewing angle when mounting my TV on the wall.

It’s not the only reason (they’re just truly terrible people across the board), but no one in my family has talked with my grandparents on my dad’s side in many, many years because of this. Rightwing nutjobs with no grip on reality and no idea how shitty they are. I’m pretty sure they don’t even know that they are great grandparents now (technically, anyway).

It’s more of a sexual orientation… Or I guess perversion?

It’s delusional to think he was ever going to do anything but accelerate the genocide.

Pretty sure that would go a long way in Austin.
