Treating your employees with respect may not be profitable in the short term, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t happen.
DEI has nothing to do with treating your employees with respect.

In case you are wandering where the money goes. If you need a gall bladder removed or an appendix removed the bill to you might be $10,000-30,000 but the surgeon, for all of their care and time with you, is compensated less than $100.
I did get my gall bladder removed in July, and I know paid my surgeon a lot more than a 100 bucks, which was just the smaller deductible portion of the bill.

While you think this is a producer problem, it's simply a userland market.
Just like in the 90s when viruses primarily went to windows, it' wasn't some magical property of windows, it was the market of users available.
Also, following this logic, it then becomes survivorship bias, in that the more attacks they get, the more researchers spend time looking & documenting.
> it' wasn't some magical property of windows
no, it really was windows

As someone who doesn't watch anime, this article reminds me of when a coworker sends a screenshot with zero context and says something like "is this supposed to be like this?" Maybe it's a spectrum thing, but I find it beyond lazy and insulting.
In the article, there's zero explanation of what the actual issue is, at least in the first few paragraphs. It just seems to say the subtitles are bad with some examples and puts the burden on the reader to determine why.
Is the issue the subtitle's location on the screen ? Contrast or font? Quality of translations? Again, it's probably a spectrum thing, but without any context I find it overwhelming and overstimulating.
I agree, I didn't see that much of a difference between the good quality and bad quality examples. Is it the fonts, or the translation, or the placement of the text?

What does this do different from a small helicopter? What problem does it solve a helicopter can't?
Yes, natural gas is now cheaper than coal for power generation, and solar has become much cheaper. Even disregarding environmental concerns, it's just not a good choice any more.
NE is starved for natural gas. They replaced the coal plants with gas and didn't bother to build enough pipelines (and even blocked them). We are getting a lot of our gas from Tankers from Europe and even Russia before the war. So now NE has nearly the highest electricity costs in the country even though we're not far away from some of the most abundant natural gas in the planet.
Why do all these posts make it seem like everybody is using AI for coding now? How many devs are actually using this stuff? The furthest I've gotten is just reading the google AI results from a search to see if they actually answer my question.

Best TV remote ever made. The peanut remote. So comfortable and easy to hold. Because of its shape you could tell where you were holding it along its length and it could never slip from your hand. You could even tell if you picked it up backwards because it was heaver in the back from the batteries. I used it for at least 20 years and I'll always miss it.

For the record, I don't hate the idea of stylesheets, but...sheesh
