That’s just called malware

I’m much younger than you think I am

Three or four years at this point, so technically not including some of the ridiculous inflation, but the cost of living in that area has barely increased. Rent is $900 on average there right now, so if you’re pulling in 25 an hour you’re making plenty to live alone relatively comfortably

Yes. When I lived out there I would’ve killed for 25 an hour. I was making 7.50 an hour and with a roommate I lived pretty okay. At 25 I could’ve lived alone and still saved

I was slightly exaggerating sure, but 25 an hour outside of a city is a lot of money.

Define “the US” because 25 an hour is living a life of luxury in much of the US that’s not a major city

You can be a perfectly good dev and not enjoy working in the cli, especially when there are good enough alternatives

Customers get charged for maintenance between the ISP and their house

They really don’t, customers get charged what they need to be charged to support the network, not just the last mile to your house. Companies don’t get internet connectivity for free, either, paying significantly more than consumers at every turn

That’s… why they charge customers fees

I’d say luck will sometimes make you rich, and being good at what you do will sometimes make you rich. Being good at what you do and also lucky has more of a chance of making you rich

It’s *usually not entirely luck, you generally have to sort of know what you’re doing

Nope, it’s illegal in the US. File a complaint with the FTC and they’ll look into it.

I’m almost certain it is

I’ve found it great for tracking down specific things in libraries and databases I’m not terribly familiar with when I don’t know the exact term for them

My balanced sources say Biden has so far been significantly better than Trump ever was

Not necessarily, but also government spends an inordinate amount of money on extra processes and moves much slower, which could naturally lead to fewer accidents because they’re just doing less, and also the government outsources quite a lot of labor which could include the more accident-prone aspects

These numbers mean nothing without a reference to compare with other similar industries. The article does include a number from other rocket manufacturers(?), though I’d be curious to see how it compares to other private companies, not, like, nasa, haha

TOML is my bestie

Remote work fixes that for many people

I stopped using Dr Squach when I found out their toothpaste omits Flouride for REasOnS. Fuck them. Their deodorant also got mushy quickly, omits important ingredients, and left stains on my shirts. I can’t trust them to make anything other than their bars of soap, and I’d switch that out if I found a good alternative to their coffee scented soap (🤤)
