After his arguments failed to convince bylaw officers, Ruck took his case to court. Legal precedent supports naturalised gardening in Ontario, where in 1996 a court ruled that Sandy Bell, a Toronto gardener, had the right to express her environmental beliefs through gardening, overturning a fine issued to her under the city’s weeds and grass bylaw.

But Ruck, who represented himself, lost his case on procedural grounds after arguing that the city had applied the bylaw unfairly and arbitrarily. Now on the hook for the municipality’s legal bills of $6,000 (£3,450), he has filed an appeal.

Damn that sucks

Exactly. After that he can basically let it go. Unless he has some stake in the company or ite survival, he’s done his job. It’s his bosses problem, the one responsible.

Hmmmm, no that will still take hours or days and he’ll be long gone. The boarding log or the cctv doesn’t make a difference

It’s not a conspiracy theory. Finland really doesn’t exist.

Only the sith deal in absolutes

This graph is such bullshit. If you were being honest in your arguments there would be no need to alter the results of the study.

This is the original graph - “About the same” answers were given directly to “worse”, fabricating results.

This is the study. Despite their life “not being better” on average, they still conclude that Communism has its downsides and are in no way saying they want to go back to it.

Read up on sleep cycles and how long your body likes to nap! If you wake up from deep sleep you are groggy for a long time after.

I routinely get hammered till late but as long as I sleep 3, 4.5, 6 hours specifically, I’m fine. Even if I have 4 hours ahead of me, I wake myself up after 3 to snooze and not go into a deep sleep.

There’s a similar timing for naps.

Edit: I’m 35, that probably matters in context

The warmer waters could also mean a place of comfort for you, and by being in a place you like and being comfortable you are more likely to meet someone compatible. It also feels less like a chore because you don’t have to chase or get out of your comfort zone so much.

I like to be alone, I hate when it gets too loud and can easily get overwhelmed by crowds. My wife and I spend plenty of time doing things in our own space or spending weeks apart. We both value alone time. Find yourself someone who values what you value.

the bird will never land on your ship if you constantly stand guard to catch it, instead improve your ship and sail into warmer waters; the bird will land while you are not looking

The worlds video game industry*.

They got really buffed on investments during the pandemic like we were going to stay in our house for the rest of our lives.

Now interest is high and investors aren’t as excited. It wouldn’t hurt for the industry to crash and get rid of these moneygrabbers who are in for a short peak, we’d have better games

The day the 3rd party apps left reddit, I’ve been wandering around, looking for what once was

I get this reference

Repress it

With a close second: why am I anxious?

Mel, a real programmer!

I’d add a motherfucking website. While not exactly a story, it’s one of my favorite bits on the internets

The concept of ML comes from neurons/the brain. If we could use the neurons we’d be way ahead, and that’s basically the hard part. If it will ever be feasible I don’t know.

Brains have a lot more connections and meaningful ways of communicating compared to our silly signals and weights. This may be the barrier to AGI

And most of it can be applied to any job. They went all the way to 54 because they needed to make a paper.

That’s just the nature of linux though. Most common distros run without issue. But people have such a wide variety of hardware and software needs that someone somewhere will tell you they had issues with that distro.

Much easier to boot them and get a feel for the one you like, you are not likely to have an issue, and if you do it will take minutes to fix on a common distro.

And for 100% of distros someone will come and say: “except for this where you gotta do this and that but then it works fine”.

And it’s important to take the time! They deserve it and will be a huge improvement to their life. Don’t let them chonk, they are really sad when they dechonk.

Yeah that was kinda my point. All that matters is what the spreadsheet looks like now. It would have probably been a net positive to keep me given they are only going to grow and spend a fortune on hiring and new stocks. That’s a different spreadsheet though, I also live in a country where it’s expensive to fire full time employees collectively, so it’s not like they are paying these kinds of sums for everyone. It’s pretty cheap to make things look good on paper.
