It’s also not really a nice belt, at most 3 stars.

This is amazing advice! Saving it for when I have a kid.

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.

Everyone should be vegan. It’s great for your health, for the environment, and more importantly, it would save more than a trillion (yes, with a T) lives every year.

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

It depends on what you mean by better. Faster? More user friendly? More versatile?

ffmpeg is written by Fabrice Bellard, who’s one of the most underrated programmers in the world (he also wrote QEMU). It’s probably the best tool out there, still actively maintained, and most commercial apps are probably using it under the hood for any kind of conversion.

Fun fact: you can convert from miles to kilometers using the Fibonacci sequence:

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 35

• 5 miles = 8 kilometers
• 21 miles = 35 kilometers
• 10 miles (2 + 8) = 16 kilometers (3 + 13)

So this means 1 mile = 1 kilometer.

Yep, that’s pretty much it.

Unlimited PTO is only good if you’ve proved yourself indispensable to the company, and can leverage that. Of course if you’re indispensable then it’s hard to take a lot of vacation!

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.
