Do they not have Sea Tow in Alaska?

In what sense? As a normie-tier user of Brave’s internal and blocker, it’s worked great. I never became a power-user of uBlock.

I would charitably say that it’s a function of a different time and place in programming. The way you write “Clean COBOL,” “Clean Java 6/J2EE,” and “Clean Rust” are all going to be…

I truly appreciate the thoughtful reply, really - we comply with most of if not all of it. Unfortunately, the last 10-15 years has truly shifted what was once a low or middle tier …

Go pick a metro, find a decent neighborhood, price out a house. Go price out insurance for a family. Go price out a minivan, go price out student loans, groceries, clothes, a cheap…

Thank you for the insightful rebuttal!

Nope! We live very conservatively. Turns out life is expensive.

Try raising a classic family of three with a stay at home spouse in that salary in any metro. You will quickly learn how fast those dollars disappear. Somehow my grandfather did th…

I previously worked at government job, a regional water company. Was on the fast track to become the AD and then CTO in the 5-10 year range as the entire upper echelon was on the v…

Leaving a job is a “life event” so couldn’t you then go out and get a simple marketplace plan? Last I checked it was only a few hundred dollars per month for a single individual?

I’ve definitely had in the UX side a situation where the PM/Owner types asked me to introduce a delay in the “disabled button with loading spinner” such that the user sees it for a…

No one has actually managed to show that this team that was involved actually had responsibilities that would have prevented this incident which is literally what I asked. But go “…

What would make you think this would have prevented the incident?

Funny enough I used to work for a water system in the “Information Systems” department - there was far too much of the classic “not my problem” from colleagues. Our original bill p…

Depends on the firm. Quite many water companies handle their own engineering and only outsource when absolutely necessary, think speciality tunnel boring companies.

Define “high” here - I grew up collecting NES gear and games from the flea market as a teen (circa 2005) and it was perhaps $30 for a working NES console, most games were $5. Perha…

Cremations can be wildly variable depending on who you pick. My uncle and father both died within about a year of one another and the prices were all over. We were able to have my …

Now? It’s always been part of the Soviet / Russian block.

Maybe I’m behind the curve here because I work in an SRE/DevOps context as of late - but LLMs routinely shit the bed and fail to solve basic issue for me when I try to use them (Th…

Oftentimes discussions get killed not because the source article is bad but because the discussions themselves devolve into flame bait/war?

Why should we be surprised? The “Conservatives” never actually conserved a thing.

If the existing at-risk functionality is a security issue I feel like that’s a good time to throw the proverbial flag on the play and make it an issue. Letting consumers play host …

In my area (South Carolina) - the opposition seems hyper fixated on “water use” with little or no conversation around electrical usage or even equitable utility rates. AI itself la…
