Most public service workers who take their job seriously. In my country, those include military personnel, teachers, actually competent politicians

I had a free Google Workspace account used for my family email since the inception of the program. Over a few years it went from free to USD$12 per user, with increasing restrictions put upon it.

From that point onwards, I never trusted any product from Google, and will never consider any in future. It's a company with no internal consistency, and has the motto of "we will do anything that's evil if it helps make us look better than Apple".

Yes I'm still salty about it.

Most recently tho, Netflix.

Ditto, I have to say I'm appalled on a daily basis how software developers I work with are so foreign with the tools they use to earn a living.

Extremely infuriating as well.

How would you define what's "Java" then. The language used by source code, or the compiled bytecode, or the runtime?

Americans really think they own the world sometimes, and truly underestimate the disdain the world has for them.

In Asia: our grandparents would tell us we were either picked up from the rubbish bin, or exploded from a rock

$300M feels like "Ahh we caught you now, bad boys, don't let me catch you again. Now go have your lunch."

These people should be punished harsher for all the lives they've destroyed intentionally.

Company hired 5 fresh ~~grass~~ grads, me included. Tasked to build AI products (this was when LLMs were still conceptual Markov chains and ANNs were the shiny new things) and other software products for huge corporations.

Obviously one of the projects failed, regional manager went into a meeting to discuss what to do with the failed project and told the client "we're not even a software company".

Started looking for interviews the next day.

Hello, I'm having some trouble figuring out what's the issue for my plants, started with a northern highly blueberry shrub, every couple of days I get about four leaves turning brown just like in the image and they turn brown really quickly. (Takes about a day for half the leaf to go brown, down the midrib)

I've tried these in the past two months:

  • keeping the plant leaves dry placed in a ventilated area just in case it was fungal.
  • Reducing watering to only water when soil is try to avoid overwatering and underwatering.
  • increasing amount of fertilizer slightly to ensure plant has sufficient nutrition
  • Neem oil sprays to remove pests

Today, I found a similar leaf on my garden mint that's exhibiting the same brown patch on the tip of the leaf, worried it will start spreading.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

 

Here's a generic sunset in a small city state from my parent's place, back when times were more calm.

Albeit not that long ago.
