That's not entirely true: sacrificial anodes attract and collect calcium and magnesium as well as preventing rust.

Jill disappears on November 6th and reappears 3 years and 10 months later. Like clockwork.

Climate impact is significantly less for motorcycle riders, that's the only mitigation I can think of.

Which he's still working on.

People can do 2 things.

The silver lining: steam's refund policy is good enough that most of them will get their money back. Hopefully that's painful to Sony.

I'm shocked. The concept-art-only hype project isn't going to be realized in exactly the exorbitant detail originally promised?

Shocked. Shocked...

In its filing, Reddit also names as competitors Wikipedia, Snap, X, Pinterest, Roblox, Discord and Amazon’s Twitch.

Did they use ChatGPT to write their fucking filing? Jesus

Short term contracts are a surefire way to get bad results. A dev that knows they don't have to maintain the systems doesn't have a reason to care about long term sustainability. So you have to have senior devs babysit them instead of writing code. Some seniors are fine with that, others will start interviewing elsewhere when they can't code.

There's also the old joke of "it'll take a month to get done. ok what if we double your manpower? Three months to get done".

Not to mention the multiple months of on ramp that happens as a dev learns what the codebase actually does.

After a hire I wouldn't expect them to be meaningfully architecting anything in a codebase for 2 months. Only doing minimal patch fixes, small 1 and 2 point tickets. A contractor would never be trusted with arch and would never graduate off those short tickets.

It's not developing a thick skin, it's developing compassion.

Never attribute to malice what can be reasonably explained by incompetence or stupidity. Similarly that which can be explained by happenstance.

Don't be a doormat obviously but assume they had a reason and be as gracious as possible in excusing their faults.

If anything what you need is to be more emotionally available not less. Empathy serves you far better than rage.

I think it's a wet turd at least in part because they went through so much bullshit.

Note: if I were to commit medically induced suicide it would be by nitrogen hypoxia. By alla counts it is the best way to go.

Man the comments section on the tor project blog are just as smooth brained as YouTube comments sections.

I kinda expected better of the average reader than commenting "hmm another captcha" 6 hours after they explicitly clarified this isn't visible to the user (which was also implicit in the whole 30ms time specified).

Like 10 points for reading the article but -30 for reading comprehension.
