The first Incredibles movie was released two years before Pixar was bought by Disney

I saw FFDI. Not much better.

I’m always unsettled when discussing this topic that people can readily accept and understand that pets are unable to digest the same foods as us when it comes to toxic things like grapes or chocolate. Their livers and kidneys can’t break those compounds like caffeine and tartaric acid down as an efficiently as ours.

Similarly people readily accept the idea that a bird can eat nightshade and a deer can eat poison ivy because their bodies can digest foods ours can’t.

But that somehow doesn’t help them infer the same thing can mean those animals cannot get their nutrients from foods the same ways that we can and vice versa. That human dietary concepts don’t just magically apply to the whole animal kingdom

Unlike omnivores, cats are unable to synthesize arginine, taurine, methionine and cystine, arachidonic acid, niacin, pyridoxine, vitamin A and vitamin D from their own organs and must get it from other sources. Their livers and kidneys simply cannot make this material from other materials. For the most part this list of nutrients is not available in complete form in plants.

Our bodies for example make vitamin D from sunlight via our skin (d7). But can also get it in multiple base forms and synthesize it from animal based foods containing d3 or from compounds containing D2. Cats however only have the ability to use D3 and cannot synthesize D7 or convert D2 to D3 (omnivore liver)

In theory you could make food in a lab that is technically vegan and supplies the above nutrients. Nobody has done this.

IIRC wifi6 added the option for backplaning to be a different frequency, but not everyone implemented it. 6e even added 7ghz but basically nobody implemented it. So even with brand new equipment, you were super at the mercy of your end user devices and whether or not your mesh was physical or wireless and whether or not the mesh nodes themselves supported the same backplaning channels.

This is exactly how ebpf was implemented for the Linux kernel. You can build watchdog processes that can see what’s happening in the kernel and build kernel interrupts but it’s actually all executed in user space and not rewriting the kernel itself. Since it’s a proper api, it also means it’s incredibly hard to fundamentally break the system, unlike when you’re just blowing away kernel code with your own shit like all these security products do.

Where I live yards have all been turned into more buildings. The largest remaining yards are smaller than the average living room

Everybody simultaneously forgetting ACAB

Management: Our consultants don’t know what ebpf or what immutable filesystems are so obviously your wizard magic is not better than crowdstrike. Also IT will be in charge of that one component and clickops it bypassing the entire CICD pipeline and sanity checking system you have. It’s for compliance which is our word for shut up or we fire you.

We added solar to our house and it cancels out the cost of AC completely with our modern heat pump. And the state and federal government both gave us massive tax breaks and zero interest loans to install the panels and the heat pumps. Our loan payment total is smaller than our old electric bill

One could argue the requirements have changed because the security and compliance part of the world finally caught up to modern software delivery concepts. Even the most dinosaur apps at compliant orgs are being dragged kicking and screaming into new CI/CD tools where applying governance and custody chains and permissions and approvals are all self documented automated hooks.

Yep this is the cheapest printing method that basically stamps hot plastic into the shirt fabric. Any self respecting brand these days pays the .30 more per shirt to have them screen printed instead of vinyl or DTG printed

I swear live nation and Ticketmaster are in cahoots to keep shitty vinyl press shops in business

I’m a software engineer and have had multiple startup employers not provide a 401k. It’s actually much more common than you think to not have one at all. Only 56% of employers have a 401k.

It’s even more common to have no matching. Of the 56% that have a 401k only 50% have any matching at all. This leaves less than 25% of employers with matching.

Of my 3 employers who did not have a 401k they all compensated me in mostly equity. Only a single employer had their equity eventually pay out in some form and it’s not eligible to be put in retirement funds outside of the standard IRA which maxes out significantly less than that 401k

Still no talk of parent plus loans getting fixed :/

Nobody seems to get this. Each time minimum wage goes up, employers balance that by splitting jobs over more people and make getting full time harder. They don’t have to provide benefits and they get more clout about how many jobs they create. It’s all upside for them.

Real work reform would be providing benefits to everyone. If people get benefits directly from the government, then they get more negotiating power with their employers because moving between jobs is lower risk when you aren’t losing benefits as part of that.

But pulling levers to raise wages is easier than redesigning the way we provide health, dental, vision, life, and retirement to our citizens so that’s what keeps happening and things just get more expensive in lock step.

Averages are fun. It’s likely Opsy roles do have the highest average. But it’s also very true that devs have the highest ceilings. There’s just very few devs making 600+ and the majority at 120-150. Then there is an absolute shit load of opsys making 160-200. So in ops you hit the ceiling super fast while the occasional dev just keeps rocketing to bullshit pay but the averages are what they are
