Knowing cable companies that was probably until all contracts with that channel as part of the subscription ended. They had to keep the channel running otherwise they might need to refund people.
All the jobs I rather be doing are antiquated. Furniture maker but it’s not a viable job anymore either. A machinist, tool-die maker. Or mechanic maybe. I have always thought that mechanics are just debugging a very specific architecture. None of these make money though.
Honestly, it seems to me that it's "undoing" a lot of work.
Labor Rate at dealerships around me are over $200/h. Granted the mechanic doesn't get 100% of that but 200 * 52 * 8 is nearly 600k. It seems like you could go somewhere else and get the same amount of money as Ford (or more) and don't need to worry about future salary increases not occurring.
The problem is that the mechanics are paid fixed hours for a given type of job (according to the dealership's standard for how long a given job should take). They are not truly being paid per hour. While it's supposed to encourage efficiency, you can imagine how this negatively affects the mechanics as well as the work quality outcomes.
A friend of mine is getting ready to retire after 30-odd years in IT. He has already tooled up and trained for his retirement profession: farrier; the guy who makes and installs horse shoes. It's more profitable than it used to be since few people do it any more, and farriers typically work on their own schedule.
A company that used to be the pinnacle of software development is now just generating code in order to sell their big data models. Horrifying. Devastating.
This is a great tool for writing technical documentation sites. It will allow you to run tests on your code samples, ensuring that they are up to date and working with the most recent library release. We were in progress of doing this with Shopify.dev before I left.
I am getting to this post now because I only consume this website through https://hackernewsletter.com which allows me to feel up to date on things but also not have the constant need to open the site. I then work my way through the newsletter over the week, reading the things that seem important. The thing about a lot of tech news is that it all feels important but it really isn't. The newsletter helps me manage that. I consume all my tech news through newsletter like an old timey newpaper.
it seems that it doesnt run if I open this in a new tab and stay on the current page but if I reload the page it works (all done with chrome) Seems like a page focus event gone wrong
Except for the most obvious difference between web and print, which is that you can design print layout for one particular rendering medium/resolution/size.
It's the same reason why we don't use absolute positioning in pixels to do all our CSS layout.
Custom shapes can be very finicky in when they break or don't break certain lines. Designing such a breaking-shape for a print magazine depends not only on the shape of the image, but is tweaked considerably depending on whether it breaks on a particular word on a particular line, and how this looks in the context of the page, spacing, readability, etc. Sometimes you can see this went wrong when a text has been edited without adjusting the shape. On the web with different mediums, resolutions, fonts and rendering, you can pretty much expect this to turn out wrong a significant part of the time.
