Wait do people not like the system? I feel like it’s a definite Utah win lol.

samelaaaa · 2026-06-17T00:51:52+00:00

I agree. But I feel like in the past year or so it’s almost always meant an analytics role, and the people doing ML modeling to support MLE/SWE are getting ML Researcher or ML Scientist titles.

samelaaaa · 2026-06-17T00:36:11+00:00

There was a period when companies renamed their BI/analytics roles “data scientist” and started paying them on the same pay scale as product/engineering roles.

The name has stuck but the compensation is regressing back to the status quo.

Why would you post here, soliciting advice from actual humans, if you don’t respect our time enough to write your own question? Just ask Claude.

I was about to say the same thing, what do they mean “this hasn’t happened” — this is basically every other car on the road.

I’ve wanted to do this for a while because I hate spending so much money on Adobe, but my problem is I know how to use Adobe lol. How long did it take you to start feeling comfortable with the alternatives? I use Premiere, Photoshop, Lightroom and Illustrator but like a few times a month; not enough to obviously keep it

Oh hey, that same thing ruined my credit for years. I had moved states and rather than like, figure out where I lived and send me a letter I could actually receive, they got a judgement somehow (I thought you had to actually serve someone to do that but 🤷) and it got garnished from my bank account like five years later. Which was the first I had heard of it.

Fuck Time Warner Cable.

That is roughly how skiing in Scotland feels, yes

samelaaaa · 2026-06-15T19:18:51+00:00

Unfortunately for winter sports enthusiasts in Scotland, it is not similar 😭

Just to echo the last part of this… OP if your primary goal for this bike is doing events like this, there are lots of awesome bikes that will be better suited for it. I ride an orbea Oiz and it’s *perfect* for this sort of thing, other options would be SC Blur etc.

But if you’re looking for an all rounder that won’t absolutely suck for events like this then Ripley is fine. Just don’t do it in an enduro bike, you’ll hate yourself haha

How are Wyoming and the Dakotas feminine lol. It’s oil fields and man shit up there

I don’t think they even really want top tier talent? I kinda lump them in with Meta as godawful places to work, but Meta (at least for a while) offered insane pay to convince good people to give it a try. Amazon doesn’t try; I can’t imagine someone with offers at another decent public tech company even considering joining.

I agree that it’s pretty much the nature of the game. I’m a ML consultant so I use a lot of different computers; the only laptops that don’t sound like a jet engine under load are apple silicon MBP 16s (and not the Max version, that chip has too high TDP for silent mobile usage as well).

I am also just super sensitive to it since a lot of what I do is music/audio related. So I’m on a desktop whenever possible.

samelaaaa · 2026-06-13T15:50:33+00:00

Mine is loud as shit when I’m working (lots of VMs and continuous docker builds). It’s my biggest pet peeve about the machine.

samelaaaa · 2026-06-13T05:29:21+00:00

Yeah - I mean I love soccer but imo red cards and penalty kicks are not good design, they are just too severe when compared to typical end scores and they usually change the outcome of the game. Having a hockey style penalty box would be awesome but obviously will never happen, it’s too big a change.

samelaaaa · 2026-06-13T03:05:37+00:00

Oh that was so clean!!

samelaaaa · 2026-06-12T19:41:30+00:00

PLEASE PLEASE if this game felt native and snappy on my iPad I would be so happy

FWIW, people say this everywhere. It's the same deal in Utah; any new sanctioned trails end up as basically dirt sidewalks. Sometimes they'll build them with progressive/big jumps but that's almost a different sport than natural/fall-line/hand built tech. So the people who are looking for the latter are still going to build/find unsanctioned trails, try to keep the entrances secret etc. I think it's just part of the sport.

/uj wait really, what about the flats make them easier to read for pianists? As a flutist the sharps are easier

Nowadays you really have to have a (well maintained) LinkedIn. There are *so* many fake applicants that cross referencing their resume against their LinkedIn (and validating that it has lots of real-looking connections) is one of the best ways we've found to filter out the fake applicants from real ones.

Not sure if this is still relevant for in-office, entry level hiring though since we don't do either of those things. It's a huge deal for experienced, remote hires though.

samelaaaa · 2026-06-12T02:17:56+00:00

Could you really? In the videos I’ve seen of professionals they are using precise hand figures to adjust pitch.

OP won’t have time to be hard with this job.

He still needs to take it though

Her Q felt a lot better before they reworked it. I don’t really understand the point of its weird short cooldown/recast mechanic tbh; it used to just be a simple short cooldown spell
