-> House and Techno They are related and close in proximity (Detroit and Chicago), but you will see a lot of the older DJ and Producers from the era tell the story has Techno being inspired by the sounds of automobile industry in Detroit and House being a descendant of Disco with influences from New York.
Re:Walking the World: Seoul on Monday June 06, 2022 @07:54PM (#31648099)
I can rent a studio in Seoul for a little over half the price in Seattle. The salaries trend higher if you work as a software engineer for one of the newer companies. Korea also has unique offerings opposed to the usual monthly rent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeonse
Community.
Even if you can prove a revenue number, it doesn't matter if they don't want to promote you. I've seen it explicitly stated at more than one company, that revenue impact is irrelevant and that you need to show a "large enough design and execution" to be promoted as a reason to just not give it out.

This was standard protocol in my org at Microsoft as well. The time was suppose to be spend reviewing tech debt/the years oncall issues and come up with plans for them.
Re:The brusque Mr. Fix-It for Mexico City’s accordions on Wednesday November 24, 2021 @05:02PM (#29335698)
I grew up in Louisiana were the accordion player is usually the frontman for a Zydeco band, and Zydeco is more popular than ever there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L2fCgK1OGU

I had no idea accordions had any stigmas until moving away.

Also in Seattle, every annual me or my wife has had includes a vitamin D check. Even at different hospitals.

Re:Foursquare Merges with Factual on Monday April 06, 2020 @04:50PM (#22797717)
I remember you referring me to Factual 8 years ago. Thanks for that! I didn't get hired, but it kicked off a life long interest in functional programming due to meeting with Aaron Crow during that interview.
There are two things being conflated, eating cheap keto and eating vegan keto.

Cheap keto its eating tons of eggs, berries, cauliflower, zuchinni and soy beans. Eggs are really the main thing though...tons and tons of eggs. Luckily there are hundreds of different ways to make them.
