Victoria is one of those scenes that is very bimodal. You have almost two entirely different communities that don't often interact. If you can make the jump out of the larger group of companies that are playing at lower stakes you can

I live in Victoria which is one of the tech hubs in Canada, although definitely one of the smaller ones. The cost to living vs salary is not in a great spot right now but it's definitely doable. If you are single or don't have any

With all the stats available I wonder if it would be possible to show which zone the ball went into. I did a little bit of work on pitch prediction and we were able to get a pretty good result predicting which zone the ball would go into. I

I think the surprising thing is that you can learn how to do it. As for that, it depends on your what your social circle looks like. I learned how to cook a couple great meals and how to make a couple fancy cocktails. I invited a few friend

If my friends have more friends than me, do their friends have more friends than them? And if I'm my friend's friend, am I not included in their friends that have more friends?

Almost done "Shadows of the Apt" and it has to be one of my favourite series.

As someone that struggled with envy as a kid, this story spoke to me. It made me think twice about trying to tear people down that I thought were hogging the spotlight. Although, I'm sure there were people in my class that identified w

Lots of good advice has been posted already. > I work on a product which just clones other similar products with a slightly better price point, so it’s hard to really care about the goal, but it would be nice to shift that mentality sli

Also on Vancouver Island and can confirm that the only way to see a doctor for many people is to walk into the Emergency and wait 6 hours.

I am working at company that just won a contract with a BigCo and it has to be one of the most frustrating experiences I have ever had. I was asked to test a configuration change and I was able to demonstrate that it worked locally in 15 mi

Maybe it's a regional thing but I feel like there are some pretty big caricaturisations is this piece. On meritocracy: "I think a defining feature of the group culturally is this belief in meritocracy, in the sense merit is what m

Hey, I appreciate both of your advice. I have some usable features that work great on my dev environment, so now I'm mostly working on getting things reliably working in the cloud.

Still a work in progress. I'm planning on sharing it once it's more ready.

I have created some low-code, zero-code devtools for personal use I want to polish and get on the market.

Yes, that is ultimately the end goal of the mandates, but the selling point of the mandates is that they are a tool to get people who would otherwise remain vaccinated to get vaccinated by introducing additional costs (ie. coercion)

by notenoughbeans 5y ago
What do you mean the vaccine mandates are not coercive? Isn't that the entire selling point of the mandates?

While it might be a silly way to pitch your book, I think your anecdote captures what he is saying pretty well. Rampant contempt is bad for everyone. It doesn't help you or the people for which you hold contempt.

I have not read Brooks, so I don't know if his stated position is that he is in favour of plundering the poor for the sake of the rich. I'd imagine that it isn't. He does mention that there are systemic issues with the status

Market economies are full of wealth redistribution. Do you mean that Brooks is against government mandated wealth redistribution?

The issue is that Canada is a large country with diverse priorities that are not shared equally among the populace. Many Canadians are strongly against any sort of investment in fossil fuels of any kind.

Native English speaker here. I would interpret some one saying "my guys" in this context as a sign of respect. It can be roughly understood to mean "my go-to guy." It has the connotation of a well established, high-trus

I had to chase one out of my yard the other day after it killed one of my chickens. I hadn't realised how large it was until it flew a metre over my head.
