Many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one, not today

This shit right here is why I left public education as fast as I could. The writing was on the wall even before 2010

You definitely described it perfectly: total chaos.

Titles are just "how valuable you are to that team".

Every team has different needs, so a senior engineer in one team might be a junior on another team that has a totally different set of needs. There is also no standardized titles, so it mostly is just "whatever they want to call it".

I listened to it on a long drive recently, and really enjoyed the audiobook version. The voice actor did a good job, and I liked the chords with the alien voice. The last 20% we were listening on the edge of our seats.

And then, a few weeks later, it's... fine. I like to call books like this "Good Time Fun". It probably won't be remembered in 100 years like other more timeless works, but it's a heck of a lot of fun if you just go along for the ride.

Another commenter suggested Young Adult, and that's exactly what it feels like. There's challenges, strong emotions, a bit of a a twist or two (pretty easy to see coming), clever creativity, Science To The Rescue, and Friendship Conquers Everything! You know, Good Time Fun!

A classic that kind of means the same thing is "me thinks he doth protest too much" from Shakespeare to indicate someone who brings up a topic they are guilty of.

But you can't see the code that runs those services, stores your settings, deploys your code, etc. Services are still a liability if they go away and your project depends on it

Yeah but are you using it or are you using the closed source options?

If AWS decides tomorrow to pull a Unity, can you fork it and keep your business running? Or do you need to rebuild an entire deployment infrastructure?

I'm pretty sure they mean have sexual relations with anyone not a spouse. Not cheating, just having sex with partner, but you aren't legally married. Sex outside marriage is traditionally not allowed in Christianity.

Stamets you brighten my day and I only have upvotes to give back

This is absolutely cursed and brilliant. Bravo!

Now I just need to find a place to use it.

"and then we told them, everyone getting to vote isn't a fair election"

"And then we told them, we only hate trans people, not gays and blacks"

"And then we told them, deregulation frees billionaires to take care of the planet more efficiently"

"And then we told them, school shootings are caused by not enough guns in schools"

Me too! That would be really cool to watch

Ah this story resonates with me so hard. I similarly do this all the time.

Perfectly timed for me to start a daily exercise routine up again. Did a 20min run and a bunch of single leg squats and pushups. Feels good to get back into the saddle

Wow that's pretty epic. Did you have to do anything unusual to get it to work?

I suppose it doesn't roll away and is easier to stow but the ergonomics on that Starfleet Glo-CubeXtreme 2 seem dubious at best

My cat's breath smells like cat food

No, no, he's got a point
