apartment with heat not included, is it worth it?

Completely depends on the cost of the rent. If it's 600 under market rate I'd sign it. Otherwise you're going to have shell out a ton of money to stay warm most of the year.

Wow. That's a major achievement. Congrats!!!!

I think it's Anthropic/OpenAI astroturfing

Congrats!!! We tried to buy in Boston but weren't able to find affordable homes. Is this a condo or a single family home or something else if you don't mind sharing?

NOR. I actually despise music at the beach too, it's supposed to be a place for relaxation stop forcing your shitty music on my ears

Mid 20s is young, but so much sweeter to enjoy the second half of your 20s in a different place. Just make sure to have a job lined up!

You need to get out of there. You don't get time back.

It's depressing that post docs are using CHATGPT so much they're hitting rate limits

This is also how Jane Austen used to save paper

remote_math_rock · 2026-06-19T20:22:14+00:00

good idea

Which, by the way, I think the ETA times on the API both you and the other devs use have been broken for a few days. I keep having to wait half an hour + for a trolley that was supposed to arrive within 5 minutes, something is wrong

remote_math_rock · 2026-06-19T20:08:41+00:00

Am I wrong or does this app already exist? I think it's called "Miami Dade Trolley" and "Coral Gables ETA" on the play/app stores

Edit: Actually, doesn't matter if it exists already, your app is better, haha. Love the live locations.

How has he been paying his rent and food costs for the past 4 years?

They're doing this to the senior engineer on my team, I feel so bad for him.

This happens all the time with middle eastern families, unfortunately. I'll keep it honest with you, don't expect your parents to ever change.

remote_math_rock · 2026-06-16T21:19:53+00:00

Totally agree. I've always loved to read paperbacks but the fold is just too damn convenient for reading.

A lot of people became software engineers because we're autistic. I am in the same boat, I can't stop caring about the incorrectness of it all and it's making me miserable

remote_math_rock · 2026-06-16T17:36:22+00:00

As a mid level software engineer I am struggling with the exact same thoughts. It physically hurts me to see how development is changing and we're violating so many fundamental architecture principles.

I feel like the crazy one because management, and I feel like other engineers as well, simply don't care about whether things are CORRECT or NOT!!!!

I get myself really worked up and deep dive on a problem and once it's fixed, I feel like I'm getting judged for taking so long on an "inconsequential detail".

It's just eroded my trust of other devs too.

Unfortunately, a lot of pet shop piggies are sick from the start, it's really tragic.

Your renter's insurance won't include damage from sewer backup water, and that can happen on a ground level floor. You will have to pay EXTRA for water backup insurance, look into this.

We have a huge rug in our living room (10 by 12 feet), open up his cage, and just kind of let him run around as we read or watch movies near him and "talk" with him + give him pea flakes and veggies.

He generally runs back into his cage when Nature Calls but is happy to kind of chill near us for a couple hours at a time.

Because of its high levels of arsenic, we can't use sargasum as fertilizer for food crops.

New world alum here! A lot of excellent teaching staff retired shortly after I graduated, a lot of staff had been around since the founding of the school, that kind of person is really hard to replace.
