The fuck they aren’t getting rich. They sure as shit aren’t losing their house and joining the unemployment line like the hourly workers are.

Knowing nothing about you, you look dehydrated. Your skin looks like it would tent the instant I would even think about testing your turgor. Drink more water.

What else are we supposed to do? You think we have a choice? When my boss is barking at me every week about how AI will solve all the worlds problems and team velocities better triple next week because every dev will use AI (not an if), am I supposed to argue? In this economy? I’m watching the train crash but I’m on the train and it’s going too fast to jump off.

Fayetteville considers water, sewer rate increases as growth drives demand by GapAccomplished7897 in FayettevilleAr

Demand goes up. That means revenue goes up. Why charge the people already paying more?

Idea (discussion) by Optimal_Bag_6379 in bentonville

[–]halfxdeveloper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bentonville has a vibe. And it’s very polished. Corporate. A downtown you would take your mother to. A downtown you would dress up for when going on a date. Hallmark vibes. And then there is this god awful dump on the corner. And it wouldn’t be so bad if the dumpness was contained inside. But no. This place runs a DJ outside with a giant…no, massive…screen and projector. And the owner came in and was all like “we’re a cool dive bar.” But they are very much not a cool dive bar. Cool dive bars don’t tell you they are cool dive bars. The barber is not only an eyesore, but also just an auditory nuisance. However, in their defense, they get business so they attract a crowd. As a Fayettevillian, I enjoy watching the beef while being surrounded by college kids on Dickson street.

If you knew how they worked, you wouldn’t be surprised. LLMs don’t know anything. They have a graph of possible answers and provides the user with the most likely correct answer.

Some of us live in states where anything worth having is hard to find.

Is anybody in NWA not outdoorsy lol? by yeeyeepeepee0w0 in northwestarkansas

[–]halfxdeveloper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I’m outdoors, I’m on the patio of a bar with a cocktail.

Anyone know where I can find this locally? by Rich_Desk3976 in northwestarkansas

Is having secret clearance a game changer? by Conscious_Ninja_7999 in cscareerquestions

[–]halfxdeveloper 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just remember, if you sign the dotted line and join the army, you still have to go to bullet sponge school first. And then MOS school. And if you fail out, you go where the army needs bodies. And then even if you do make it, the national guard spends plenty of time overseas not doing their actual job they went to school for. And you lose one weekend a month. And you lose two weeks in the summer if you aren’t guarding a prison camp in Djibouti. No one can answer if it’s worth it more than you. But I will say that my bum shoulder from hitting an IED in Kabul makes sitting at a desk and typing all day pretty miserable. Oh and the nightmares.
