  • Honestly I feel like a dying breed among my middle-class millennial dad-friends.

    I’m like the only person who changes their own oil. All the rest of them just drive electric cars.

  • New guy botching a production instance, for a developer…isn’t your problem.

    Sorry but that’s on them. You shouldn’t be able to deploy bad code to prod. Whoever approved the MR fucked up and you caught the blame. You’re better off without them.

    Infra guys like me (networking) yeah, sure, because our test environment happens to also be our prod environment.

  • When most of the world trades in the US Dollar, America having a trade embargo means a lot.

    It doesn’t mean they can’t trade with other countries, but it very much complicates trade, especially with small countries.

    Wendover Productions had a pretty good video on the topic recently.

  • Actually, if you can program it to take inputs of anonymized employee satisfaction surveys, and objective employee satisfaction data (attrition, absenteeism, etc), it could work.

    Especially if the AI’s target goals are public information. Nobody would work for a company that set the “employee happiness” and “corporate ethics” dials to 0 and the “improve net profit” dial to 100.

  • Whole Foods argues it can ban BLM masks because the Supreme Court let a Christian business owner refuse same-sex couples

    Jump

  • But this is specifically about workers wearing a BLM mask. Not the general public.

    Amazon/Wholefoods are totally within their rights as employers to enforce a dress code. That’s it. That’s the end of the line.

    Now, if they had previously let workers wear “FJB” masks without enforcing the dress code, that’s obviously a bias and something that should be dealt with.

    This is, quite obviously, a worker violating a dress code and seeking publicity by riding the coattails of a heated issue with their own persecution complex.

  • Honesty, imo, shame on Amazon for not barring anything but solid-colored, patterned, or Bezos-Empire-Branded masks, explicitly, in their dress code.

    I’m a (mostly) vegan, liberal AF, solidly middle-class, homeowner married millenial parent (i.e the portrait of a Whole Foods customer), and I agree with BLM, but I would be put off by any political or politicalized messaging in a supplier/customer relationship. I’m here for your general tao seitan and a TTLA…not for your influence.

  • Jim Cramer Says OEMs Should Move American Auto Manufacturing To Mexico For $5/hour In Response To UAW Demands

    Jump

  • No you see outsourcing jobs is good for conservatives because it prevents illegal immigration and increases profits for the shareholders.

    Making living conditions in Mexico so good that they wouldn’t want to come north to our shithole country is the best way to fight illegal immigration and totally pwn the libs.

  • Apple unveils iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max

    Jump

  • “Lifecycle” is not an apple specific thing. Literally everything has a lifecycle that makes the device obsolete/unsupported before it’s useful age is up.

    Technology in phones (primarily SoCs, batteries, and displays) moves faster then other categories, leading to the one year generations, but again, that’s something every brand does. It’s insane to suggest that companies continue to maintain old platforms that are in comparatively few pockets against discovered security vulnerabilities or leveraging new features beyond the capabilities of their hardware.

    iPhone 8 is now nearly six years old and supports IOS16, with rumors that it may support 17. I’d be surprised if it does, but that’s still a very impressive lifespan for a mobile phone.

    I understand apple hate but this is really one place where it’s undeserved.

  • I wonder how many fires have been started because people left the pizza box in the oven while trying to keep it warm

  • I’m missing out. My job as dad is to eat the heels of the bread and whatever drool-soaked leftovers remain from the kids.

  • What single purchase has returned the most in terms of value?

    Jump

  • No, I think mine was called a Primula. Want to say I bought it at JC Penny. Not sure if they still make the same model. This one came with a tea/fruit infusion sleeve too but I never used that. If I want to make cold brew tea I just get a dozen or so (black) teabags into a 2qt and let those steep overnight.

  • As I remember it the USB 3.0 chips can cause interference in 2.4GHz range unless shielding is used and the USB chipset is kept far away from the 2.4Ghz antennas. Probably just “juice not worth the squeeze” on the smaller non-pro model, if there’s a significant chance it could interfere with Bluetooth and wifi.

  • My cold brew coffee pot.

    It makes about 2.2 US quarts of cold brew in a batch. It’s plastic, but I’ve used it consistently for over 6 or 7 years now.

    It has a center sleeve/filter for putting grounds in. They should be coarse ground, but I’ve used Cafe Bustelo (espresso ground brick) and had good results.

    Just let it soak for a day or two in cold water.

    Now, I don’t use it per the instructions. After it has appropriately steeped, I pull out the filter, empty it, rinse it, and put the empty filter in a 2qt pitcher, and run the coffee from the brew pitcher into it. This leaves a little extra which goes right into my cup.

    I then immediately prepare a new brew pitcher and drink out of the 2qt.

    That cost me $30 back then, and I brew 2-3 pitchers per week. I don’t know what that works out to in Large Dunkin’s, but I’m sure it has paid for itself, several times over.

  • And touchscreen keyboards (and their haptics) got significantly better, too.

    Most of those cool designs were attempts at either maximizing the screen, giving a qwerty keyboard, or both. There were a few odd ones like the ones with the rotary dials, the n-gage, etc. But now we’ve got a form-factor that gives a real good keyboard and a real large screen.

  • It doesn’t help that a lot of strays/rescues have a good chunk of pit bull blood in them.

    Both of my dogs are rescues from programs in the southern US. One of them certainly seems to have some pit in him…beautiful brindle coat, block head, incredibly strong jaw, stocky-muscular build. He’s dumb as a bag of rocks but incredibly loyal and affectionate. Because of the stigma around pits, though, I’m afraid to get him DNA tested.
