I don’t consider myself politically correct but this headline is outright racist
What makes you say it's spam? Genuinely curious. If the job openings haven't changed, is it spam to post the same message in multiple threads a month or so apart? Or is there something else I'm missing?
Interested in how they count hours - are the only hours counted the hours where you are actively picking up / delivering an order? Or are employees also compensated for time spent waiting/looking for orders?
In rats, not humans. Interesting nonetheless

A disproportionately large portion of this site is engineers / software engineers. A natural idea for engineers anxious about becoming less in demand due to AI is to hedge against that possibility by investing in companies that would benefit from that shift. What publicly traded companies would benefit most from AI reducing the amount they have to spend on engineers?
sshfs is no longer maintained? That's sad, I used sshfs in school to be able to use my zillion vim plugins to edit code without having to install them all on the remote server we used for compute. I was surprised with how smooth of a system it was.
my friend, CO2 is a natural part of the atmosphere and is emitted from your mouth with every breath you take. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the dangerous gas that you are thinking of.
The term you are looking for is modus operandi (not operandus).
Modus operandi literally means "manner of working," so you want the genitive of operandus (operandi) because the genitive in Latin corresponds (roughly) to the english preposition "of."
Decent but there are plenty of higher yield savings accounts out there
"Open source tool powered by closed source API"
Is it really open source then?
consider polar coordinates. reject cartesian dogma.
Another factor is that people are more afraid of scary things when they feel like they can’t control them. Driving makes people feel like they are in control, which makes drivers underestimate their chances of crashing. This is the same reason that airplane crashes and autonomous vehicle crashes are also huge news events: if people feel like crashes are being caused by something they can’t control, that scares them.
I think most people use an adblocker to avoid seeing ads, not privacy. Most people (myself included) care more about saving time on YouTube videos and making webpages not have pop ups all over the place than privacy.
It says 99 lines, and it theoretically is, but is it really 99 lines if it has 119 semicolons?
In the main function,
nil = box(NIL,0); err = atom("ERR"); tru = atom("#t"); env = pair(tru,tru,nil);
This should probably be 4 lines of code, but it all appears on one line in the source code. '99 lines' of code is technically true, but using number of lines as a measure of code complexity becomes less useful once you start packing multiple distinct things into one line like this.
I think there’s something to be said for the interaction involved in getting a recommendation from a human. An AI might recommend movies just as well as Dave did, but you presumably like Dave and enjoy talking to him about the movies you’ve seen. You don’t get that part of the experience with an AI recommendation.
What are these search engines that focus on sites without advertising and trackers?
