Agreed! By the way, guess what else is paywalled by Figma https://tokens.studio/ edit: there is a free tier but core functionality like "create a variable" or "reference a variable" is Pro-only :P

That's so sad. I'm pretty militantly anti-spider but jumping spiders, despite seeming like they were sent from hell to terrify us, are just little furry big-eyed arthro-bros

That's a meaningless distinction to advertisers and in the context of this lawsuit. Were brand ads placed colocated with hateful content in a user feed? That's the only question that matters to advertisers at least. Attribution do

How does mapping spelling to sound work in languages like English that have homophones? "wear", "where", "were-" (as in werewolf), "weir" (in some regional dialects) can all be pronounced identically

It's illegal to drive without a license, but your license doesn't automatically get suspended/canceled when you die - a loved one has to do the legwork to cancel it. So probably technically legal until a court case involving

His arguments against absolute open-mindedness weren't grounded in discussions of his faith - even just the full version of his quote shows that, it was in reply to a metaphor for theory of mind his friend told him: "For my friend

To extend the original metaphor - your mouth doesn't stay shut forever, or you starve. So the idea is more to sink your brain or teeth into substantive thoughts, as you encounter them. It's not about closing your mind/mouth a

I came the other way with it - originally used Google Music and had to switch to Youtube when they sunset GM. I already paid for GM so it was easy to pay for YT music since they had (nearly) every song I'd ever uploaded already availab

I'm also in CA and lived on Arizona for most of my teens and early 20s. Never saw this pricing. I would have remembered it, especially during the skint college years. It's always been a dollar. At best you'd see 2 for 1 deals

Whoops I missed this reply! I think it's absolutely an opinion piece - defining specific items as principles by definition means expressing opinionated ideas about the relative priority of those items over others. Also, imperative mood

Did you mean "team managers" in-metaphor? As in non-players, non-coach excess staff? Totally agreed if so, didn't want to rebut unless you actually meant 1st-line managers of teams of players (which I'd place as "co

Increased documentation is a cost you pay no matter what, you just pay it later in other formats when in-office - when the SME you treat as a guru finds a better-paying gig you have to scramble to rebuild their expertise from nothing or hop

That again sounds like a problem with your company's knowledge sharing culture, not with the industry at large. Silos exist even when every butt is in an office seat, that's a well-known issue that far pre-dates pandemic remote wo

I've only eaten mutton in heavily spiced dishes and it does go very well in those settings - you need other strong flavors to stand up to the gaminess of the mutton, which might be why it hasn't caught on in American cuisine which

The fee isn't revenue-based, it's install-based - and not based on hard numbers. Also, demo installs apparently count against that threshold https://twitter.com/necrosofty/status/1701717971016790508 (the

That's not what happened here. If you have difficulty keeping context of the thread we're all in, scroll up and reread. Snarking (and being wrong to boot) contributes nothing to the discussion.

True, though you can't claim that's an analogous situation - C++ wasn't in alpha when the JVM was implemented. Decoupling is of course possible, but the difference here is that the lang powering the runtime is not guarantee

This is a bit of a loaded recommendation - I own it and it's a fantastic compendium of literally all western cooking knowledge you might want to ever know. It's also like 20lb and over a thousand pages and usually sells for textbo
