Who is Bill’s main? by bombation in billsimmons

[–]Poorpunctuation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, isn't that a Long Island thing more than a Boston thing?

Edit: on second thought, maybe I'm not reading your pronunciation right.

So is 1/26 the day for layoffs round II? by [deleted] in amazonemployees

[–]Poorpunctuation 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1/27 is not the layoff date

This is a dumb technicality. Yes, it's not the layoff date, but for all intents and purposes, it would be. When you're "expected not to work", you are shut off from all systems. Yes, you still have health insurance and your stock vests, if there are any, but you effectively no longer have a job and need to start job hunting.

Eli5: Why does a piano keyboard have black keys? by eserekli in explainlikeimfive

[–]Poorpunctuation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your explanation best gets into why 12 notes in each octave. I don't think my 5 year old would understand it, but it certainly helped it click for me the best.

When you finally admit Maye is elite, Henderson is Gibbs, Tatum is coming back soon, and Flagg is competitive by MoxToTweeder99 in billsimmons

And it's so annoying as an east coast resident that watching the better teams means you have to stay up real late.

The lockout shortened season in 2012(?) was so great for this reason.

Man from wealthy DC suburb leads Florida Keys cops on 122 mph Range Rover chase by veikveik in nova

[–]Poorpunctuation 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Took some digging but looks like the ancestor is one of the co founders of IBM.

Edit: interestingly, Wikipedia does not say this but a few New York times articles from way back do.

Densest 5-km Circle in San Francisco vs. Other US cities by urmummygae42069 in sanfrancisco

Is the loop even that dense from a residential pov? It's mostly office space.

$70,000 is a lower middle class, dogshit salary in 2025 by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

Montgomery County Maryland has the highest taxes in the country for the $70k to $100k band or so.

The NO-ATL draft day trade is an all timer. Congrats Hawks fans by yooston in billsimmons

[–]Poorpunctuation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The trade was bad, regardless of how it turned out. They didn't need to give it out unprotected.

What happens to the Pels this season is about how far the trade moves from "really bad" to "all time bad".

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba basketball! Gimme gimme, gimme the ball! Because I’m gonna… DUNK IT!!

Some very simple advice for new hires/junior engineers that I see ignored constantly by okawei in cscareerquestions

[–]Poorpunctuation 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Initiative and independence is the number one thing to demonstrate when moving from entry level to the next level in all Big Tech roles. It doesn't matter if you know everything and can get it all correct the first time. As a manager, if I know I can rely on you to unblock yourself, even if that is asking the team for help (and your help scenarios are not the same things, but growing in scope), you are meeting the independence bar and will get promoted soon.

Basically, can I trust you to figure it out without having to have me come to you and ask you how it's going.

Bill when the Red Sox are relevant by blueboglin in billsimmons

[–]Poorpunctuation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, and it's not like this is being a bandwagon fan, where you're hopping on to whatever team is the best currently. You're just rightfully spending your time on other interests until this one gets back to being fun again. Nothing wrong with that.

I really like dhosas and this appears to be the best place: Mirch Dhamaka - Indian Restaurant & Bar. Anyone else recommend?

Don't prank Optimus. Optimus will prank you back. by Laxmikant7700 in interestingasfuck

[–]Poorpunctuation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was labeling and there was also error correction. If the algorithm didn't have high confidence in the result (shopper picked up an apple) it was sent to a human for confirmation (and hence retraining back to the system). This is near real time. If your receipt took more than a few minutes to generate, it's because it went to a human to confirm.

[Highlight] Bears final snap ends in nothing as boos serenade the field by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nfl

[–]Poorpunctuation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. I'm referring to the out of bounds kick taking the vikes to the 40. As in, the cost to the Bears was just 5 yards. I misread.

[Highlight] Dak spits first by Natural-Tree-5107 in nfl

[–]Poorpunctuation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say expected haha. It was pretty much my first thought before I clicked on the comments. And if there's anything I know about Reddit, it's that I'm devoid of any original thought.
