I think this observation is true. I'm not nearly as high as you, more close to top 15% but only mid-20s still. But this is something I see with a lot of people my age too that I categorically know are not earning nearly as much as me.

I'm being careful not to explicitly out myself to maintain some level of anonymity here :D but safety-critical, that should help narrow it down! There isn't a whole lot of tech stuff happening in Bath so I'll try and remember

As a fellow Bath resident I had to see if I recognised the name (it's a small place) and turns out we have worked at the same place in Bath (although many years apart!) Bathcamp caught my eye, may look into attending when it next comes

fwiw I wasn't able to drop down the sections on your CV site. I have strict web filtering at work though so may be a problem on my end

Anyone interested in other languages that implement this should take a look at the SPARK subset of Ada. Pre and postconditions work in the same way and enforce the same behaviour described here (or at least that's what I understand it

Peak HN to clearly not even spend 1 minute to understand the content to then come in the comments ranting about how bad it is and that it's wrong. Sure, some of the ordering of difficulties may be off but a lot of it is subjective depe

A procedure I’ve been impressed with is that as soon as you disclose an allergy, the manager will come over with the massive allergen booklet, help take your order and then go and feed that back to the kitchen straight away. Of course it ge

I don't subscribe to this take either. As the partner of someone with a server nut allergy why should we be restricted to only eating food we have prepared? Restaurants have to be able to cope with catering to common allergies, it&#x27

Why can't we blame those who prepared the food? In settings such as this, at a company as large as Disney, it's not acceptable for there to be cross contamination of allergens. If it turns out to be a mislabelling of ingredients o

No trouble, you just have a different writing style!

They're brief but they also sound so bot-ish in the way they're written, I'm not the only one to have pointed that out in the thread

by justneedaname 2y ago
The comment history does read much like you'd expect from a bot, lots of short, generic statements that vaguely tie to the subject of the post

This reminds me of the very first project that I worked on, a warning system for rail trackside workers. There had been numerous case studies of near misses, injuries and even fatalities. The system currently in place at the time was, unbel

Volterra is another great place, albeit a little drive away but a beautiful one - taking you through winding mountain roads with fabulous views. One of my favourite ever drives (and done in a Fiat 500 for extra Italian-ness!)

But that isn't the intended use case for YT? How are you expecting to watch a professionally produced TV show on YT for free? YT offers a catalogue of tv shows and films that you can purchase and watch on the site but I'm confused

That wasn't the angle I got from the post at all. To me they were focusing on how un-noteworthy it actually is to be top 1%. All they had to seemingly do was take an extra couple seconds to upvote answers, perhaps post a question when

Narrowboaters don't have the same reputation for a reason though. I've only had a handful of experiences with those who choose caravans as their method of itinerancy but they've all been negative. Everyone I know has had the

Not quite comparable though I would say, given that you know what you're signing up for when applying for a job. Travelling to a conference is a one-off whereas you'd be expecting to come to your job everyday (given the contract s
