Where do you get stats for short-term rentals? Anecdotally, our last landlady illegally evicted us, converted the house to an airbnb, and then bought the next-door house from the long-time owner to make it an airbnb as…
A&W Canada is kicking ass with plant-based offerings - their veggie burger is delicious, and they're in every rest stop on the highway so I end up eating at least one every road trip
In my experience companies don't have long-term plans or vision for their products, and it leads to work becoming tedious. You come in excited with no understanding of the product, you get knowledgeable and learn what's…
Tickets by themselves are a symptom of a good process and not the end goal. If you don't know where tickets come from, why they exist, or when to do them, then the whole process is nonsense. I've seen this repeatedly at…
same, i joined a place where it turned out a small group of people basically held all the power and had created a byzantine system only they could reason about. management was also trapped because the devs who knew the…
Lol I've seen this in action, lots of staff devs being architecture astronauts or diving super deep on a hot new technology, and meanwhile some intern is building the stupid webapp that actually gets used and makes…
The concept of the data mesh makes sense, but I'm not sure what it means in practice? You have one big redshift and a catalog that says "this team owns this dataset", and that team does their own ETL? Likewise teams own…
I'm excited for generics to land in Golang so we can have efficient set implementations instead of abusing maps.
I would love to hear a theory for how the supreme court could take this case. Free exercise?
Yeah I can't read the article, but as an applicant this would immediately trigger a yellow flag. If the CTO/director/whoever decided can justify it as a unique differentiator then maybe it's fine and it's a cost of…
Do other people feel like this at startups? When there's no clear direction and everyone is just working on whatever they find interesting, I just tend to check out. It's just not interesting to build software for the…
It seems like a distinction without a difference, this article for example uses them interchangably: https://www.commondreams.org/views/2019/06/21/brief-history-...
Isn't this the free market at work? How would all the companies collude to collectively bring in more marginalized people? It's like saying "I want higher wages but I don't think one company raising wages will achieve…
Where other people see fully automated luxury communism, you see the end of the human race? There's more to life than working
Just off the top of my head, big cities include Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Halifax, Hamilton, Kitchener. You make it sound like Toronto and Vancouver are walled cities in the middle of a…
Good luck! FWIW in the past I've been happiest working on a project with a small team that has some clear product goals - maybe your current company can provide something like that? Re: compensation, I think it's…
I'm in a similar boat, I've been working for 10 years and I was burnt out before the pandemic, but the last year has been brutal. People in the replies are saying "get a hobby", which isn't a bad idea if you find…
Consulting is a little unique in my experience - if there's a steady stream of work, you never really stick with the same client full time for the full 5 years. It's a lot easier to keep your skills fresh and move…
Conversely, I've worked at places where the people who had been there for 5-10 years were just coasting, the product was stagnant, and constantly hiring new people was the only way to get out of a rut. They were paying…
Ethiopian food is very spiced in my experience - mitmita and berebere are the two distinctive spice mixes that come to mind. The local place makes doro wat so spicy that my partner can't even eat it!
Pretty sure slavery is the definition of external oppression
> Northern Europe, not known for their abundance of slaves, is wealthier. Northern Europe didn't import a lot of slaves but they sure as hell benefitted financially from the slave trade. > Colonialism was not a huge…
I don't think you should be downvoted, but the polio campaign was lying to citizens of other countries, not domestically, which I think is the crucial distinction here.
I had an abdominal ultrasound recently - the actual process of placing the probe and annotating the images seems like a pretty specific technical skill. I don't think any old person (or even a doctor) off the street can…
you're so close...
