This is an excellent comment. Thanks for sharing your perspective in such great detail. >Their existence is defined by mental turmoil and acute pessimism. I’ve been trying to find the words for this - I (cis male and…
If you’re not already, try using nutritious food formulated specifically for pigeons or doves. Seed-heavy diets, even if formulated for pigeons, are very fatty and may not make them feel great after eating. And bread is…
It’s transphobic in the “hydrophobic” sense. I don’t think he merely pushes back on activists; I find he delegitimizes the movement altogether. Which, disclaimer, I do think anyone should be free to do. But people who…
Fascinating! While I’ve definitely heard “brackets” used in the midwest occasionally, “parenthesis” is the standard term by far.
In my lifetime, “parentheses” has been the canonical way to refer to () in the US. “Brackets” is an umbrella term that can describe one or all of (), {}, and []. If you’re in a context where only one of the bracket…
It looks like you can specify the value type per property, for those cases where it matters.

I think the 1.0 magnitude is there as a placeholder. The advisories say to ignore it: >Please disregard earthquake parameters
You're living in the shadow of someone else's expectations! Of course you're going to feel this way -- You don't deserve that, and emotions are going to ensue. That is the human in us, and that is the human in you. >…
Not a great example. This bug was in one of the weekly snapshot releases, which regularly and knowingly have some unplayable element to them.
Liquid items are funny in the game. When you look at an item listing and you see something like “Mead”, that is truly all the item is —- it isn’t a cup of mead, it’s just a vague amount of the liquid mead itself, as if…
The FDIC-insured nonsense alone perplexes me. There is no web to spin here that favors them. Did they really think they could get away with this? Or did they have a severe cascade of miscommunication? It is incredibly…
The drama is pretty ridiculous sometimes, it’s true :) This aspect isn’t unique to Depop however. Other buying and selling platforms that allow negotiation are full of people trying to assert their nonsense onto you. It…
Anecdotally, this platform gives liquidity to your otherwise unsellable clothes, and that is the big appeal. If you have a dress you’ll no longer wear, you have a few online platforms to sell it on, but they’re not…
My partner is a top seller on Depop. We send and receive packages pretty much every day, it’s been great for them during the pandemic. Depop has done a great job fostering a more human experience than other platforms.…
>isn't that a result of your relationship with your isp? Any ISP is allowed to sniff and manipulate packets, so this isn't just about my ISP -- it's the server's ISP as well as any entities in-between. Even if I did…
Dodged a bullet for now. I’m worried this is their extend-embrace stage, and the extinguish is yet to come. I truly hate to be pessimistic, and I’m not trying to start a flame war. I just can’t see this behavior lasting…

Acknowledging the damage inflicted by an abusive past partner. I'm able to say "this is something that happened to me" and address it as such -- It isn't a thing I push to the back of my brain to deal with later, or an…
I get the impression that the job market is very saturated right now. I'm on a private slack group for a tech recruiter company; it's well-discussed that the platform is seeing less hires due to the pandemic.
Things I’m working on at least once a week: - Learning how to play this, very slowly: https://youtu.be/egWhW_BdLrI - Audio synthesis from scratch in C++, and hacking a music synthesis engine on top of it. Consequently,…
It is far more unpredictable to litigate based on intent and public perception. If an app displays a phone number but doesn’t say it belongs to the restaurant, is that making the current partnership clear or unclear?…
I thought RSS simply fell out of majority favor. Are there legal reasons behind it as well?
When I went on-site for an interview with Palantir about a year ago, I had the same idea going in and left very disturbed. I'm not sure what else I can say under NDA, but anecdotally they have a frightening culture. I'm…
