we don’t use this without first writing proper unit tests for our changes, integrating them with the regression tests, and thoroughly documenting our changes for the next developer that has to work on this
I’m an optimist, and it’s technically possible
- Comment on LA considers raising minimum wage for some construction workers — possibly up to $32.35 an hour 2 days ago:
Separate minimum wages doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Especially when it’s so hyper specific:
minimum wage that would apply to construction workers on any housing project with 10 or more units and a height of up to 85 feet
So we’re incentivizing smaller buildings, which is the exact opposite of what we need. Large, single-family homes being the only housing allowed in large swaths of cities is what got us the housing crisis. Now we’re incentivizing them even more?
Construction workers currently earn a median wage of $18 per hour in L.A. and frequently face wage theft
The fact they’re nearly doubling the prevailing wage for construction on apartment buildings, without addressing wage theft makes it abundantly clear this bill is about disincentivizing dense housing
It’s just a bill to further inflate housing prices dressed up as helping workers. The main group that will benefit from this is wealthy landlords

Oh don’t worry about that, they already caused their havoc
Thanks to the FAA’s shoestring budget, they don’t have the funds to just issue an STC to allow existing planes to use it. Each plane owner will have to pay for one to be issued. It costs me $200 to get one issued. It costs that much because the FAA hasn’t had the budget to upgrade their systems, so handling applications takes a lot of labor. They need to manually verify the make and model of aircraft will not be at risk of adverse effects from unleaded gasoline, since safety > all else
It’s a good thing the FAA verifies this, but it shouldn’t be such an inefficient process. The only reason it’s so inefficient is because conservatives have gutted federal agencies for so many years. MAGA will still point to the inefficient process as an example of why they should keep cutting funding, “see how inefficient the FAA is? They don’t deserve our money!”

The FAA finally approved 100UL (unleaded), so the US is on track to stop using 100LL in most cases within the next 20 years
EPA has tight regulations on washing your plane though, so there’s no problem with lead /s
Disclaimer: It’s better than nothing that the EPA tried to do something, but the government really should have gotten their shit together and approved 100UL decades ago
- Comment on Ok, boomer 3 days ago:
I know the US is one that has 100LL

I’m just giving you shit as someone who is finally kicking their Windows addiction
Have you tried gaming on Pop yet? I’ve heard it works pretty well. I went with CachyOS to replace my last Windows box since games were the only reason I kept it around. Not absolutely loving Arch/Pacman yet though…

I’m not trying to gatekeep or anything. It’s just to me like pineapple on pizza or socks with sandals are to other people: A crime against humanity worthy of the death penalty
For the record, I’m a staunch supporter of pineapple on pizza and socks with sandals, and I’d support pardoning anyone guilty of either crime
- Comment on Mandatory programmer outfit :3 (First post) 1 week ago:
POP_OS, SteamOS, and presumably Windows10?
The fact they’re using a Windows UI for all of them is so cursed T.T
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 1 week ago:
For much of America, going on walks isn’t a pleasant experience. Most people live in car-centric areas, where you will have the noise, fumes, and dangers of cars at all times
- Comment on Amazon hopes to replace 600,000 US workers with robots, according to leaked documents 1 week ago:
Exactly. Automation will be replacing jobs. It’s an economic fact. Instead of fighting it, we need to be focusing on making an automated future equitable for as many people as possible

Why you hatin’ on mushrooms? They’re a fungi, if you get to know 'em
- Comment on It's not? 1 week ago:
Technically there are regulations, but they’re almost universally sidestepped. Every dildo is a “novelty” not to be inserted in the body is the most common way to avoid the regulations. No government body seems to care
- Comment on some days i cant even 2 weeks ago:
The “missing nothing” part is problematic. Many creatures rely on leaves to survive or reproduce. Fireflies are a common example. Their population has been decimated by the complete removal of leaves as standard practice
I cannot understand why people are so intent on removing every leaf from their yard
- Comment on some days i cant even 2 weeks ago:
I look forward to seeing less leaf blowers in general. I don’t get the obsession with getting rid of leaves. You’re damaging the local ecosystem for what? The ability to watch your grass turn brown?
- Comment on some days i cant even 2 weeks ago:
I leave all the leaves in my yard, and mine is the only one with a lot of fireflies. It’s amazing at night
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 2 weeks ago:
they “look down” on those who don’t would be an absurd understatement.
These discussions are never about rural areas. No one is going to a rural town and installing bike lanes. No one is suggesting 20 miles of bike lanes go in where you live. It’s always about putting in bike lanes and transit where it makes sense
Some of the chucklefucks in these comment sections act like I’m personally clear cutting the rainforests because I dare to say that I require a car in my current life situation
People are chastising you for arguing people in cities that could easily bike need to drive a car. That’s what you’re doing. People say we should have bikes and transit in cities and you come out arguing against it
Keep driving your car. No one is taking it away from you, no matter where you live. We just want the option to bike or take transit in our communities. We don’t currently have that option because suburban and rural people constantly fight urban transit tooth and nail
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 2 weeks ago:
There are carts you can pull behind your bike that your kids can ride in. Some of them even have up to 4 seats for kids
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 2 weeks ago:
I find the opposite to be true. Taking a train is so much more convenient. Don’t have to find a place to park, don’t have to do any work to get there. Just sit down and wait
Bikes are nice because I don’t have to worry about traffic much, and generally parking isn’t an issue
Cars are really inconvenient. You have a gigantic vehicle that you have to navigate around many other vehicles, then find a parking spot, usually not close to where you’re actually going
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 2 weeks ago:
Most Americans are used to very spread out cities. It causes a lot of problems with groceries since you have to make far fewer grocery trips, which then means fresh foods are rare. Probably a huge contributor to America’s obesity problem
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 2 weeks ago:
Therefore the majority that do live in a city must use cars too?
No one is coming to your rural community to build a bike lane. These discussions are never about the rural folk. Y’all are going to be left alone. Bikes and transit don’t make sense in low-density rural areas
Now please stop fighting the change the rest of us want in our cities

My dog will run into the snow, roll around in it, splay out and just start eating snow. It would be really funny if anyone ever thought he was cold

Oh, he was actually telling the truth. The site also eventually redirects you to chat.poo, whatever that is
- Comment on Senate Confirms ‘Sharpiegate’ Meteorologist to Lead NOAA 3 weeks ago:
he said he stood by the Trump administration’s proposals to dismantle much of NOAA’s climate science enterprise, while also diverging from Mr. Trump’s statements that climate change is a “hoax,”
Oh so he fully understands the threat of climate change, but is happy to follow orders and prevent action to mitigate the damage of climate change
The absolute worst type of person, in my opinion. He knows the harm his actions will cause, but doesn’t care if it gets him money and power
- Comment on It is only half greentext, though amusing 3 weeks ago:
Bit of a hot take, but I prefer the version where you get less done because you’re spending so much time shooting the shit with coworkers
I don’t enjoy work. I do enjoy hanging out with people and chatting. If I can get away with it, I’ll minimize the work and maximize the non-work

Presumably you were starting with a fundamental axiom such as 1 + 1 = 2, which is the difficult one to prove because it’s so fundamental

Or a bachelor’s for that matter. The only way he could be doing more math is if he was an actual math major
