Why is there never a button for just the tip?

Plenty of homes in rural NE that (while not as small as this) are still well within the 60% mark for garage ratio. They tend to double as workshops or large enough space for farm vehicle maintenance.

Considering the amount of rural settlements and farmlands / ranches around the US, I’d say it’s not necessarily unreasonable. Can even find them in suburbia, albeit more rarely (have in-laws with the living space lofted over a full garage, which would put it at ~50% minimum before accounting for interior walls.)

Good point. Hawaiian shorts too. Full ensemble.

The hard part of app development is identifying and translating all of the nuances of human desires and unanticipated needs into a working application. ChatGPT is on par with junior programmers - it can produce simple programs, help contribute to complex ones, but will struggle (for now) with the complexities of dealing with the major hurdles of software dev.

Eventually it will reach a point where it can reason about human needs and motivation autonomously (probably stacking multiple specialized LLMs or similar together for each area of reasoning, unless something new comes about) but we’re a ways away from that yet.

I think the big disruption that ChatGPT will cause near-term is the same as that of generative AI art - the low specialization portion of labor will be replaced, eg stock photo producers and basic CRUD/site apps. For the rest, it will be a tool that gives those that adopt it alongside skill a serious leg up.

In ten years I think the conversation will be different, but two years to learn means 8 years of good salary and time to adapt to that future. Better than $15/hr* with no healthcare in rural US.

Depends. I’ve had plenty of tough calls with management laying out the impossibility of desired schedules only to have the Jira board estimates fudged in their favor, or similar, which puts pressure on the team to deliver on timelines they never would have estimated for themselves.

Ultimately it’s a question of who’s working by whose estimates.

Good lord it’s everywhere. Get the flamethrowers…

Oh the flashbacks… Do you work in healthcare or banking?

Sounds like job security to me.

Keep calling it Twitter but add @Deprecated so future users know to avoid it?

Terrible analogy.

Talk to a lawyer right away. This is screwed up and the lawyer may well take your case paid on contingency (eg, if and when you win a malpractice suit.)

Good luck. 4.5 hours is an eternity in the chair and the work sounds shoddy.

During meetings, I find it easier to follow the discussion if I’m making notes on post-its or a notepad rather than digitally.

For longform notes, research etc I prefer to use a wiki program like Obsidian and a mindmap or diagramming tool. I will rarely sketch ideas on paper but being able to rearrange the shapes on digital canvas makes it great for whiteboarding as a software engineer.

Freebre?

In the front, yes - but knowing how much your rear might be sticking out is another story. That’s tough to judge with rear-view and side-view mirrors only.

Maybe it’s different elsewhere but at least in the Midwest US we have a range of different length parking spots, from very short to long, so it’s habit to pull as far forward as possible to ensure you aren’t sticking out into the aisle.

The courteous folks hop back in and reposition if they’re parked funky, but those types can be far and between.
