It's implied from the combination of English and the boss being mad about the worker taking their vacation days tbh

I used to think I didn't like exercise. As it turns out, I'm just not that into running. I love biking though.

I've always loved weight lifting as well, though, so idk

It baffles me that people actually take these assertions seriously, especially after having used different software that uses voice input, like Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa or whatever. Those things make some serious mistakes even under ideal circumstances, and you want me to believe that they can accurately overhear things in non-ideal circumstances? I highly doubt it.

Regardless, you can use an ad blocker to make this a moot point - I've never experienced anything even close to this, because I never get ads.

Milei has already claimed that title.

Microwaving some leftovers might be an option. You get the great food you put effort into making, without actually having to make the effort at lunchtime.

Catenaries are cool, use them.

I struggled with this as well, having not enjoyed my teenage years that much.

How I coped was to tell myself that people asserting that period X is the best years of your life are people whose lives peaked at that time, and that this won't be true if I made sure to not have my life peak then.

I'm happy to say that I've proven the assertion wrong in my case. It's been a steady climb upwards, with every year being better than the latter.

General purpose: Kebab case

But really, follow the conventions of what you're working on. For example, I'd use pascal case when working on a Java/Kotlin project, and snake case when working on a Python project.

Testing in prod is a power move honestly. Rock star-level

I consider the question of free coffee to be a litmus test for any company. If you're not offering it, you are unequivocally a loser not worthy of running a company:

  1. It costs next to nothing
  2. Caffeine makes the workers more productive
  3. Your best outcome is workers who drink a healthy amount of coffee every day

The expected return of offering free unlimited coffee for any work place is positive - and the inverse of not offering free coffee is hence negative.

I hate statistical rigour, I want everything to be vibes-based instead

 

Context: I have a Chromecast with Google TV today that I'm quite happy with, after having heavily customized the thing. However, it's only 1080, and I recently got a 4k TV and would like to be able to get the full mileage out of it.

Now that Google are sunsetting the Chromecast series, is it a bad idea to pick up a 4k Chromecast, or should I just wait for the new device to drop? It seems a bit pricier and I'm not sure if there are any features I should necessarily wait for.

My use-case is basically watching YouTube/Nebula/Netflix/Jellyfin.

 

I'm getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I'm looking to get something new in there.

Personally, it's been, in no particular order:

  • If Books Could Kill
  • Darknet Diaries
  • Hard Fork
  • 99% Invisible
  • The War on Cars
  • The Urbanist Agenda
  • The Climate Denier's Playbook
  • Well There's Your Problem

I'm mildly considering getting into Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, but I'm a little bit skeptical on account of how damn much there is to be listened to in their feed.
