Code documentation is like sex, when it's good it's great, and when it's not good...it's still better then no documentation.

Small towns probably vote less Republican than you think
Although how small a “small” town should be is up for debate, the U.S. Census Bureau has used 50,000 people as a benchmark measure for large cities, so we used the same number to separate small urban areas from large urban areas.
So a city with 49,000 is being counted as a "small town". Sorry, that's not a small town, "small town", in my book is around 2,000 people or less, this title is misleading. A 40,000 person town, is a town or maybe a small city, but no shit those people aren't all voting for republicans. Pick a major metro area and look at the cities/towns that surround them (aka the suburbs) going by this, they count as "small towns".

Its nice to see that the Lemmy fuckCars crowd is a little more understanding that cars are needed outside of cities. I live in rural Colorado and I can drive for hours w/o traffic.
For example, this photo was taken in the forest a few miles from my house.

If a flag is on the right side of your body (or in this case car) then it's reversed otherwise it's normal.
The U.S. flag appears backward on military uniforms when worn on the right side, so the canton is assaulting forward. This reflects the image of the American flag flying in the wind, the blue union field always moving forward to symbolize the bravery and commitment of military service members.

Is the old advice to change companies every two-ish years still the best practice for career advancement?
The real answer is "it depends", but that said, I think when you're early in your career you will advance faster, and increase your compensation more quickly by switching jobs.
I do also think there are advantages to see how different organizations and industries tackle similar problems.
But if you have a job you're happy with, are getting paid fairly, have a good manager/team, then I wouldn't just change jobs for no reason.
As you get later in your career though I do think it's easier to get promoted to more senior/staff/architect roles from within. Taking on a high level leadership position at a new company comes with its own set of challenges that are not the same for a tenured engineer that gets promoted.

Ford lays off 700 who were building electric version of F-150 | CNN Business
Reply in thread
I mean I very much want an electric truck just not for $70,000+, I need a a vehicle that can do the following:
If there was an affordable electric truck that could do this I would buy it, but I bought my (used) Tacoma for about $25k 4 years ago and I really can't justify anything more expensive then that.
So if they can bring electric trucks down in price, I will buy one, and I want it to look like a truck, I would never consider a cyber truck, thats beyond ugly.

I wish this was true, I've tried it multiple times at Starbucks and it doesn't work.
I think the majority of the staff is working on mobile/drive thru orders vs the orders that come in at the counter.
Regardless, going inside has taken me longer then joining that stupid line.

They're quoting Blind users though, Blind is a cesspool of silicon Valley tech bros. It's often just a dick measuring contest between FAANG workers about who makes more money.

Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

Nah, Chicagos a great town with excellent food, culture, museums and events. Lots of festivals in the summer, it runs along a beatuiful lake with nice beaches, it has great people, all in all I love Chicago. Full disclosure, there are neighborhoods with high crime, it is unfortunately super segregated, and cold as hell in the winter.

Moderators Wanted
You can add me, I've never modded before but I could give it a try. I'm messing with the Lemmy API a bit so I might be able to help with some tools in the future.

Ford lays off 700 who were building electric version of F-150 | CNN Business::Ford is laying off about 700 workers who build the F-150 Lightning, the electric version of its best-selling pickup truck, and unlike other recent layoffs this one has nothing to do with the ongoing strike by the United Auto Workers union.
Ugh, no I don't want to throw a bunch of hay and straw inside a van, you'll have straw stuck in the crevices of the dashboard forever.

Well no, because you also have the option of not using the app, in which case none of your data will be used...

An instance is a web server running the Lemmy software. You are most likely on lemmy.world
All the servers talk to each h other and if you make an account on one instance you should be able to view content and post/comment on communities on other instances like lemmy.ml as well.

A long list of tech companies are rushing to give themselves the right to use people's data to train AI
Reply in thread
I'm actually fine with it, in the case of Lemmy this is all public data, whether or not Lemmy admins are training AI on it, there is nothing to stop me from training my own AI models with this data.
I think the larger issue is I don't consider it "your data" once you put it on one of these sites. As soon as you take your own thought and put it on facebook/instagram/reddit/whatever, it's now theirs, it lives in their databases, and frankly for a social media company it's probably their most valuable asset.
No one is forcing anyone to use social media, if you want your thoughts and actions to be your own I would recommend not putting them on the internet.
