What are people using this for? Pirated movies, shows, etc?
Genuinely curious.

Sounds a whole lot like the Leafs in the playoffs.
(Sorry, I had to)

Three years into my career and my total comp hasn’t risen once - it’s honestly exhausting at this point but I’m still learning a ton, feel as if there is solid job security, and love my team. At some point I’m going to have to make that scary jump though if it continues.

I may be making this up, but I seem to recall a chat feature on one of Napster, Limewire, or Kazaa.

TIL I investment firms received loans. Just noticed one here in Boulder.
Correct.
Absolutely agree and my intent was more that the majority of the proven routines can have you out of the gym pretty quickly. Full body, upper / lower split, PPL, etc.
But yet - totally agree.
Can someone help me better understand the ultimate goal here? I'm thinking through the AI influence and how it would replace the engineers at my company and fail to see it. However, that is likely just pure ignorance on my part and I'm likely just missing the obvious.
Say someone from the business side wants an external Api implemented into some ingestion pipeline. What would this look like without engineers?
For the record, this is an honest question
You can be in and out of the gym in 30-40 minutes using a PPL.
Okay, I've always hesitated to do this because Siri sometimes set some weird alarms for me. I'll have to give it another shot.
I’ve always valued the mentor / mentee process and have gone out of my way to help a couple of students from my former university.
The problem is, I’ve struggled to find a mentor that isn’t currently at my company.
Not looking for a job or even network building - I love my job, simply looking for someone to chat with about issues and career development as someone only a few years into their career as a SWE.
Most of the recommendations I receive are sites where the individual has a large list of mentees and cost hundreds of dollars.
Are there better ways to go about this?
Theoretical question. What is replacing it? Is it this? Is it something else? Nothing? Curious to peoples thoughts on this.
I’ll try it on my ski tour tomorrow!
I haven't looked at what is directly impacted yet, but this is an oversimplification. Assuming it is all Garmin services down, I've personally used my inReach for the following situations that have no real map involvement:
- Coordination of supply drops during multi-day backcountry ski tours.
- Weather updates in the Rocky Mountains where weather can change in an instant.
- Contacting a personal dispatch POC over messaging during an avalanche injury that required SAR without having to hit the SOS button.
Additionally, my wife relies on her inReach mini every day as a safety net as a biologist in remote areas of Colorado. Most people I encounter in the outdoors space rarely use their Garmin for navigation. Instead they use an app akin to onX, Gaia, CalTopo, etc.

Does anyone have a good reference for this? It's something that I inherently assume exists but would love to see a flowchart of how rampant it is and where different layers are siphoning their penny.
Would that even be possible?

Does anyone have some good data engineering follows for Bluesky?

So for me, it doesn't add a second point. Is that because it can't find a route or is it just not working?
Boulder, Colorado for reference.
