Yeah because thinking its ridiculous people who don't know how to open email decide the future of software cases is railing against specialization :/
Unfortunately the people that decide if it’s derivative or not probably need help opening their email.

Fuck this country

I'll have to do imports to change backends for matplotlib sometimes

Imagine speaking with such authority about something you know nothing about. I bet you make widgets.
Yes, it happens all the time. Each time we get a new form we have to fill out to do something or some extra hoop to jump through. If the manager I worked for didn’t act like a normal person that thought that shit was stupid I would absolutely hate working with/for that liar/crazy person.
If it’s in your interest to lie you should probably get a job that doesn’t make you a shithead.

This is dumb shit just like journalists going onto YouTube every few years and finding incendiary videos. There will always be a way that a person can use something for evil, that’s not the fault of the thing.

Hopefully you have other skills because the wagon wheel makers can whine all they want but the automobile is coming

I figured it had to do with Bard like the D&D class, ministrels that have a way with words etc.

In a move to appease investors looking for never-ending growth, Netflix dug their grave. Netflix isn’t worth it for most people if they can’t share it. Thinking that peoples college aged son is gonna get their own account, and that dad cares about keeping it once they can’t share anymore is dumb as hell. Talk about out-of-touch.

So everyone else just smells like shit all the time in other countries? I smell like shit when I wake up in the morning, you wouldn't want to work next to me if I don't shower.
Re:Timeseries of earthquakes with M = 5 or greater (2011) on Tuesday February 07, 2023 @08:28AM (#34692442)
The timing it takes for the P/S waves to reach you. One travels through the center, and the other travels along the surface of the earth.

Here's a quick rundown: https://slcc.pressbooks.pub/physicalgeography/chapter/4-3/

Re:Timeseries of earthquakes with M = 5 or greater (2011) on Monday February 06, 2023 @04:29PM (#34684659)
Earthquakes can be sensed from basically anywhere, only the time it takes the P/S waves to travel to you are different, especially if the quake is M=5.

More sensors don’t really add more detections, but are useful for pinpointing an origin.

The difference is the software engineers are creating wealth with that paycheck. Managers are extracting it.
Seems like that’s only for permanent bans. I can’t see anything other than punishment/rehabilitation as the goal for a short term ban. Maybe I’m not thinking it through, but a short term ban doesn’t seem focused on just removing TOS violating material.
Re:Ask HN: I’m falling out of love with coding on Monday February 06, 2023 @09:23AM (#34677617)
You don't dislike coding, you and all your coworkers work at a shit-tier company.

Get a job doing something else that involves coding. Do you know advanced math and physics? There are tons of opportunities in the applied sciences and you'd be a god-tier coder among men at federal research labs etc.

For some reason coming back to this thread, its really wild how sociopathic c-suite types have to be.
Re:Dell to layoff 6,650 employees as demand for PCs plummets on Monday February 06, 2023 @08:42AM (#34677142)
Yeah, I bought a $150 laptop from best buy with windows on it and the latest celeron and had to return it, it was literally unusable for anything, even emptying the recycle bin. I don't know how they get away with selling that stuff.

I hope you find a better job man!

This is a great example of how dumb our legal system is.
Re:Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office? on Sunday February 05, 2023 @04:27PM (#34669628)
Makes sense. I'd just be trying to get out of a job like that, and don't see how that's desirable at all. You seem to think its the better way though.
Re:Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office? on Sunday February 05, 2023 @03:35PM (#34669035)
You’re c-suite material all right. A natural hate for someone asking for more compensation. Hope your startup fails.
Re:Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office? on Sunday February 05, 2023 @03:31PM (#34669002)
Those type of discussions are great. Sounds like you just work at a horrible place where the only brainstorming going on is about super boring/worthless material.
Re:Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office? on Sunday February 05, 2023 @03:28PM (#34668962)
If you’re not just a code monkey than those chats are great for coming up with new ideas and fleshing them out over time. But hey you can also just be a code monkey that completes projects assigned to them. To each their own I guess.
Re:Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office? on Sunday February 05, 2023 @03:26PM (#34668931)
You must work in a boring ass place. We are always talking about ideas to each other. Though I do research so maybe that’s why.
Re:Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office? on Sunday February 05, 2023 @03:21PM (#34668877)
You are completely detached from reality. Almost all of my conversations happen by running into someone in the hallway, or seeing them in their office with their door open and asking if they have a couple minutes.

I’m honestly curious about where you work that that doesn’t happen.

Re:Getty Images v. Stability AI – Complaint on Sunday February 05, 2023 @03:09PM (#34668716)
But they don’t have obnoxious and stupid watermarks on them, I thought that’s what made a Getty a Getty
And you sound like someone I would never ever trust.
The chilling effect it causes has already caused a ton of harm. For instance, I can never run for office because I don’t want the public to know what I said on Facebook when I was 16.
Basically everything I have said to anyone since I was a young child is sitting in their data center, ready to blackmail me if I ever tried to run for office or pursue any power.

Ditto for everyone else here that grew up in the age of the internet and the patriot act
