Re:I am the healthiest person I know, and I got cancer on Tuesday March 08, 2022 @10:37AM (#30601024)
It depends on the situation. I had all of mine out this past weekend (in the US) and, because they were fully grown in, all they had to do was some local anaesthetic (about 8 shots around various parts of the mouth), wait 15 minutes, and loosen/pull them all. Total procedure was less than 30 minute and no painkillers prescribed after the fact.
I guess that depends on how users go about finding projects on github to file issues. If, for example, the user has an issue with this NixOS package (or debian package/any other repackaged example), and they start by just searching "python ambee github" or "Home Assistant ambee github" (seems like a reasonable first attempt to me) they will likely find the upstream near the top of the results.

Now, some users will perform due diligence and maybe find the NixOS issue referenced in OP and look elsewhere, but many will find the project and immediately file an issue there in the upstream, leading to the author's main concern of "I don't have time to support NixOS issues".

It would only remove the burden if users of the NixOS package know to go to the fork for support, as opposed to the upstream.
I would side with you on this bet. Lots of brodozer and parking lot princess F-150s up here in Michigan suburbs.

For html/dom parsing, I would recommend looking at either AngleSharp[0] or HtmlAgilityPack[1], as they tend to be the most popular in the community.

Re:An Easy Mode Has Never Ruined a Game on Thursday April 04, 2019 @10:29AM (#19572695)
I read an opinion piece[0] recently that suggested one of the (many) reasons that No Man's Sky was so poorly received at launch was due to the fact games have commonly been boiled down to constant action and "gotta beat the game" mentality, and that players don't know how to just explore and enjoy games as an open-ended single player experience.

As someone who plays almost exclusively single player games across a vast numbers of genres, I enjoyed No Man's Sky's "exploring and discovering the unknown" game play at launch and have ever since, as they add more and more content.

> They will start looking for a new gig immediately

The response to this should be: "Good for them! They should look for somewhere that will pay them what they think they are worth."

I believe that is the whole point behind sharing salaries, to help level the playing field and help people who got low-balled on their offer to realize this.

And in the Midwest.
The way the greater Flint area's zip codes and address system works out had some other interesting impacts, as well, from a business perspective. After the crisis became more public, we started seeing businesses who were in Flint (greater Flint area, Flint mailing address), but not the City of Flint (the affected area), putting up signs and trying to make very obvious that they didn't have Flint water.

The City of Flint's water system is isolated from the rest of the county, which falls under the Genesee County Drain Commission's jurisdiction and is connected to the Detroit water system. It is still difficult to get some people to understand that they are different things (have had to explain to family many times that while we live in "Flint", we are not on Flint water). It would be interesting to see a study done on the effect this had on businesses both within the city and in the greater Flint area.

> However, I'm not a software developer, so rhat could also have something to do with it

Definitely has something to do with it. I'm a software engineer in the Detroit area and the last time I switched jobs (4ish years ago), it took less than 2 weeks from the time I updated and posted my resume to signing an offer letter. With the number of calls and emails I get daily for different positions in the area, I have a feeling it would go just as quickly the next time I decide to make a move.

Except for helping with Windows Server support for kubernetes[0] and supporting kubernetes in Azure Container Services[1]
