Agreed. I got a kitten last year and he has taught me a lot.
> Playing along felt like the price of inclusion.

Wait, what? The author played along for more than a year and then placed a complaint? Maybe it's the way the article is written but this seems pretty bad on the author's part.

The author seemed to be mainly worried about their ruining their 'upward trajectory' in the company.

Aaannnd the author is writing a book.

Yes, I am cynical.

And these laws were passed in some European countries before the USA introduced them

Most Europeans will say they are French, German, Italian, etc. "European" means very little to us except not-american
I don't know what /r/relationships. I am glad you and your partner resolved your issues. Do you think the same solution will work for every similar problem?
OP already explained that the partner does not see sitting at a computer as working. They have different underlying assumptions which need to be addressed. That can be hard but not worth throwing away a relationship unless one person won't work towards resolving it.
Oh well that explains it. I'm surprised they didn't see that coming.
Woah - that is surprising. I wonder what the cause of the dislikes is on these videos? Is it targeted or just no overlap from Biden supporters and YouTube? Or they're not happy with Biden. Very telling that YouTube are moving to remove the dislikes though..

You can't consume all your information through one source or aggregator. Use multiple and introduce new ones frequently and you will have no reason to be concerned.

I also think your concerns can be addressed with just thinking and rationality. If you read something from one source and agree with it just recognise that you have some information but also recognise you don't have all the information. Keep an open mind and be skeptical. I think this is critical because you can't read enough sources on every topic.

I didn't know what to expect when I posted the question but this is really good advice. Thank you.

Ask HN: How do you leave a job?

I've worked in the same job for 10 years. It always seems like I have a few tracks of work ongoing at the same time. Some of them I prefer more than others and some are closer to completion than others. Some might be new pieces of work that are just starting and could turn out to be interesting (but not always).When I consider looking at other jobs, I always find myself thinking it's not the...

Re:Ask HN: Is Google still a cool place to work? on Thursday March 25, 2021 @07:27PM (#26586959)
Would I try get a job in Google if it was the same salary as my current job and the interview was 'normal'? Yes.

Would I try get a job there if the salary was the same, or even more, than my current job but the interview process is how it is? Nope.

Awesome! I will attempt to migrate from Sapper now
From seeing this, I fear the HN I once knew and liked is gone. The article isn't accessible, doesn't make sense and is promoting poor discussion.

fwiw, I realize this comment doesn't help much either.

I understand 'fake it til you make it' but this just seems absurd
Serious question,why bother?
Most documentation is bad and seems to promote formality over usefulness. Examples go a long way.

The most recent example of good docs I have come across recently is svelte.dev

I think you have a misunderstanding. The product would work for some of the same people who watch tiktoks.
Re:What ORMs Have Taught Me: Just Learn SQL (2014) on Wednesday October 21, 2020 @03:45AM (#24845632)
We do this in work and it's not great in my opinion.

There can be issues with package versions compiled to the db. It makes continuously integration harder. We do automated builds and testing in the application layer but we don't have anything in the db layer. It's harder to create a new environment (for a developer who does not have full db permissions). Business logic ends up in the stored procedure layer AND the application layer.

I agree with you but set up of a new phone is pretty simple if you move Android->Android or iPhone->iPhone. Your google or apple account should sync everything

I was slightly confused by this as well but I think I got the gist. It's a chromecast interface/OS so that Google knows what you're watching on Netflix, Amazon Prime and other apps
