Non-engineering positions

Big tech pays large amounts of money. This is why people choose to work there.

Water, closely followed by coffee. I adhere to a two cup limit, but by god do I enjoy those two cups.

Acutely relatable trait

I mean, with large swaths of big tech companies running monorepos, does this statement really stand up to scrutiny?

For one data point, Google has >2 billion slocs in their monorepo.

Putting down the divider is not a courtesy, it is expected of you.

This is like expecting someone to say thank you because you flushed the toilet before leaving it

Cowards

In all honesty, that food truck seems a bit misplaced.

I mean, Europe minus Russia has what, like 4x the population of all of Russia?

Russia would be stretched dangerously thin trying to fight on multiple fronts, it’s already putting serious strain on their whole nation.

Why would other nuclear powers stand idly by once Russia drops nukes?

Russia dropping nukes on other countries would lead to the complete destruction of Russia. Why would they do that?

I’m convinced that if one nuke drops, then they will all start dropping at a rapid rate.

This is why no one ever actually uses them, because as soon as you do, it’s game over

You’re under the impression that France, the UK and the US would stand idly by as nukes start to drop around the globe?

There are only so many Russians to be sent as cannon fodder before you run out entirely.

Trying to do what’s being done in Ukraine with multiple fronts? Zero chance of any success.

Interesting how those words are reversed as far as genders go in Spanish:

• Chemisier = Blusa, feminine
• Ceinture = Cinturón, masculine

Despite both languages having common Latin roots.

It’s pretty easy to fake one using the developer tools in your browser.

Getting bought is often the whole point for a founder, since that’s one of a few ways for you to get a big payday.

Getting bought only really happens if a majority of the shareholders agree to it, so you can reject it as much as you want.

Interestingly enough, Norway was already doing quite alright before they discovered the oil - they were at 10th place amongst all European countries. The oil has given them additional wealth, but it has become somewhat of a national myth that the oil is the sole reason for Norway’s success, leading to their current reluctance to spin the industry down, despite it running fully counter to Norway’s self-image of a green nation.
