Staying true to the centuries-old library concept, only one patron at a time can rent a digital copy of a physical book for a limited period.
So sad that we solved the problem of knowledge scarcity, and because of greed we need to add it back artificially.
I thought the same. Definitely the same vibe.
There’s was a scanner app that I loved, for Android. Turned into a subscription, even though most people use it less than once a month and even though the app was basically complete and never got updates.
Inflammable means flammable? What a country!
Singular they has been used for something like 7 centuries.
There’s a big conflict of interest in dating apps: if you’re successful you stop using the app, and of course the company doesn’t want that.

In a hundred years we’ll look back and be ashamed of what we did to animals.

I replied to the wrong comment, sorry, I was replying to the person asked if the 3 weeks were paid.
Man, the Brazilian constitution of 1988 is such an amazing document. More countries should have modern constitutions!
Brazil, Spain, Egypt, Denmark, Argentina…
Not OP, but probably yes. Unlimited PTO is not uncommon in tech.
Of course if you try to do some shenanigans like taking two months off they will simply fire you.
You hire more people.
I’ve been using Alacritty for a while. It’s fast and does everything I need.
How many people do you think would be needed?
It’s less than you imagine. As long as the sampling is random and unbiased, assuming 100 million Republicans, a sample size of 1000 should be enough for a 3% margin of error with a 95% confidence level.
