Just look at the state of the USA with 28% immigrant population.

Which STILL has the 6th highest GDP per capita (10th if you count tax-haven microstates and overseas territories).

Centuries of mass immigration built the US economy. Y’all are acting like economics is all zero-sum and more people = everyone is poorer, but the amount of jobs doesn’t stay constant as the amount of people increases. The US always had an influx of immigrants to fuel the ever-growing economic machine.

There’s plenty of reasons why a lot of people in the US can’t afford to live in cities, etc. None of it is because of immigration, it’s mostly corporate greed and stupid zoning laws.

Hmm maybe what you call a mall in Australia is what Americans call a strip mall?

KDE Neon?

It still worked - you could use the software with occasional hiccups, it’s not like there was data loss or anything. It just didn’t work WELL.

And if the business needs aren’t met, said businesses will go to another SaaS company that promises them a better, brighter future.

The user might not be the subscriber, but the user being less productive because the software is getting in their way, will irritate the subscriber.

I know a SaaS company that put thousands upon thousands of engineering hours into making small (and sometimes large) optimizations over their overall crappy architecture so their enterprise customers (and I’m talking ~6 out of the top 10 largest companies in one industry in the US) wouldn’t leave them for a solution that doesn’t freeze up for all users in a company when one user runs a report. Each company ran in a silo of their own, but for the bigger ones… I’m not going to give exact numbers, but if you give every user a total of half an hour of unnecessary delays per day, that’s like 500 hours of wasted time per day per 1000 employees. Said employees were performing extremely overpriced services, so 500 hours of wasted time per day might be something like 100k income lost per day. Not an insignificant number even for billion dollar companies.

I’ve since left the company for greener pastures and I hear the new management sucks, but the old one for sure knew that they were going to lose their huge ass clients over performance issues and bugs.

I’d expect that to be damn near all of them because most stores don’t run their own production companies

And that’s where this article comes in.

Once met a man who said he loved assembly language because it was so much nicer than punch cards and FORTRAN, but C was OK too.

This was last year. In his defense though, he’s been retired for years, used to work as a professor.

If you want to get really strong, you might want protein and creatine supplements to speed up your progress, but even that’s not necessary and they only speed things up a little.

Funny, every primary care provider in my country recommends you take Vitamin D, usually pretty huge amounts

Could be because we get barely any sunshine between like October and February. I’m talking 6 hour days, and even those mostly cloudy.

So for shits and giggles I looked at the introductory video for Clickbank or whatever it was called, the affiliate marketing corp

The gist of it is that to be successful, you wanna sell people health, wealth or… I forgot what the third was, but it’s probably beauty or sex lol

I was going to say something, till I realized you didn’t mean sports coaches

Carry on

Keto works, but whether the supposed science behind it is the reason it works, I have no idea.

People say something about ketones and so on, but for me, it’s just that eating carbs makes me hangry again soon after I’m done eating them, so I’ll want to eat again. Eat less carbs, get less hangry, easier to eat less.

I’m hoping entire custom campaigns.

Back in the day, Operation Flashpoint, the predecessor of ArmA, had a mod community that built mods that came with huge new maps, new equipment and actually decently written campaigns. All because of the official mod tooling, which even came with tutorials.

To be clear: I don’t recline when there’s someone behind me

However

As someone who gets lower back pains from sitting in an uncomfortable position for long, the recline function makes a huuuuuge impact. Recently rode a bus with no recline (and nobody behind me) and by the end of the 1.5 hour ride, I felt horrible.

I’ll go ahead and say it, the first one is a great movie even. It has a particular atmosphere of joy and hopefulness.

Then that entire vibe goes away and it just goes generic dark teenage fantasy with mediocre writing

Worked at a company where the previous devs had implemented their own frameworks for front and backend. Obviously 200 was the only possible code.

I had a cottonelle puppy so basically a toilet paper ad. But it’s not even sold in my country, we have other brands.

Eh when sales says “we made this” it means the whole company in my mind, not them stealing the credit.

Now we sales says “we’ll make this” is when you have a problem.

Battery degradation is ridiculously unpredictable. I’ve seen 100 cycle batteries at 75% and 2500 cycle batteries over 90%. I only dealt with like 5 MacBook models
