According to this CBS article https://www.cbsnews.com/news/one-in-four-workers-in-us-dont-get-any-paid-vacation-time-or-holidays/

1 in 4 workers get any paid vacation time. It's from 2019 but it's not like things have gotten better over there since then.

I'm a former .NET dev ... I stopped quite a few years ago after I joined a Bay Area company. It was quite a change. React 1 was just coming out and I used to just write bad JS on my webpages and I had to rewrite our front-end in React. Also, ES5 or 6 or whatever was getting popular and we had to transition from CoffeeScript.

The JS world gave me whiplash after doing so many years of Enterprise .NET. The .NET tools felt so much more polished.

The fundamentals of Node to me were different than .NET. .NET felt like it had a lot more cruft and "magic" at first. With Node it felt deceptively simpler at first. Then when the require syntax was going away and we had imports but then it wasn't a real import. It was a TypeScript import or a webpack import that did a require behind the scenes. Then I had to understand why we used typescript but then what was the point of tsc vs babel vs webpack vs esbuild what their roles were and I kind got a bit obsessed with understanding what they did and what was happening under the hood. Then Node officially did do import and I had to understand what that was all about and how it affected our compilers or bundlers.

Sorry I rant pointlessly. Godspeed on your journey!

I dunno man, I can't get my friends to watch some stellar movies because their attention span has been shot over time.

Believe it or not, they'll watch crappier movies because they don't need to pay attention.

Remember to add --enable-source-maps and as long as your tools are configured properly it should point to the right line!

I don't know, I never mind if people bring up things they're trying or into.

I think Best Buy started doing the Amazon thing where they let other people list their items through Best Buy and they just take a listing cut.

They're also hypocrites because they'll scream about "cancel culture" too.

We have Canadian automakers now?

I'm not American, but as an outsider this is what I feel the second amendment was really for ✊

Where's the evidence for this illegal program moving people to get votes?

I know Fox News parrots this shit but is there any evidence for that?

What you're describing makes me kinda miss being a regular at a pub.

Post-COVID and moving to Canada ... I find that I stay at home all the time nowadays. The bars I go to here are more establishments and have less of the home feel I used to get in Europe.

If it were an earlier time or if it was a democrat or third party candidate ... the media would be going nuts about the "being presidential" and shit for months. Nowadays, it won't make it to the end of the week.

Things I'm seeing online are like ... "he does what he says/he keeps his promises" "better for the economy" ... fucked that none of those make sense and you'd have to be an idiot to believe

So many believe in the whole American exceptionalism shit so I think they believe some of their shit is their birthright or something.

I thought she was AI ...

I only heard about it through a YouTube recommendation. Very cool features. I may give it a whirl next.

I've heard a lot of good things about Zorin OS.

I think with Stardew Valley, you don't necessarily "have to" ...

Factorio feels way too much like work (as a developer) to me. I played it all weekend once and then when I had work on Monday I didn't feel any weekend relief that I expected.

If they had empathy, they wouldn't be conservative.
