Tap water is so cheap it might as well be free, and it’s probably included in the rent in a lot of places.

I guess it’s not free in places that need to have a revolution first?

Fair, but it’s also just a way of saying that programming isn’t a task for humans. (At least not in the correctness aspect)

The second part sounds like a thing phones should already be capable of, if it weren’t for trying to charge for something. Or snoop on me. Or something worse I just haven’t thought of.

Enshittification is such a downer. Oh, well, guillotines will fix it eventually, I guess.

So close! Get one that does poached eggs. It’s basically like an ice-cube tray, but the cells are bigger so they fit a whole egg. Only downside is that you need to be quite precise when filling the water. (We use a kitchen scale and measure it to the gram, but it’s perfect every time)

The exact model we have is the Cuisinart CEC-10, but I’m sure there are others.

Axioms are not like the others, they’re assumed to be true even before considering any evidence or even arguments.

Yeah, but they didn’t serve ‘fresh’ coffee, the whole point was to make a giant urn of coffee and sell coffee from that all day. I don’t know what the boundaries of those rules were, it’s entirely possible it’s different if you serve it in an open steaming cup, but this was Styrofoam take away cups.

Their customers had had problems before, but they didn’t care. I think that’s what got them in the end.

There’s a safety regulation, but the mcd manual almost said outright to ignore it. And there had been numerous incidents before, and even court cases. They were finally fined something like half a days’ profit from the sale of coffee. Only the scale of of mcd makes it seem like more than what the paperwork costs anyway. Personally, I think someone in the C-suite should get jail time for ‘gross bodily harm’, or whatever.

Yes, typo

Yeah, that. Typo. It had grown by a factor of 7 or so. So, basically, that part of the pay was cut by 85%

Going all in on the stock option program, even if it was a little risky. I remember the argument: There’s no lottery or casino that’ll give me odds like these. I also left when we’d grown to the point where middle management didn’t want to understand that when the program ran out (4 years) and had to be restarted at the new validation, that was basically a static pay cut for me. I get paid a lot more now, but I still made more from stocks than work last year.

Second, our apartment. It’s a lot like a row house, except it’s in the city. The other part backs right up to the park.

Third, maxing out parental leave with both of our kids at a company that (as, more or less, a recruiting gimmick) topped up parental leave pay from the capped 80% to, iirc, 100% with no cap. They turned out be quite dumb about this and had shuffled me into a corner when I came back. I was ready to put my back into it, but well, I guess not then.

(The one without the parentheses is older Python 2, the example with is newer Python 3)

Yep. I even got this back when cleaners moved my mouse from in front of key keyboard spacebar to the right of the keypad, until I noticed what had happened.

I put my mouse between my body and the keyboard and it goes away.

Good luck!
