TIL pay for holidays off is not a legal requirement in the US, and thus not a universal practice. Apparently.

But skimping on it is not what I would call a good look.

@tek @thegibson I think I’m gonna start saying it as a sort of soft snark for working at a fitness lifestyle brand.

The neurodivergent nerd instinct to work at startups so the job burns out before you do.

Note: I’m fine — or at least operating within normal parameters — it’s just a stray thought.

@tek their excellent taste in hiring decisions is good encouragement to give Coda another try.

Thought I canceled my Laracasts subscription in time. Well, guess I better learn me some more PHP in the next year.

@brewbellyblueberry even my favorite devastatingly sad songs end on a positive note. Can’t help it. It’s in my nature.

@brewbellyblueberry Though just about anything by Death Cab for Cutie will do if I have a real need to be melancholic.

Forgot to open email on last boot and thus missed the annual Week of Themed Spending Days emails.

Might have to try that next year too.

@mnot @billseitz to be fair they had a lot of time. Probably had a draft ready for a couple decades.

Better link to Jon Sasaki’s Improvised Travel Adapters series. I clicked and my anxiety immediately spiked.

More places need the correct sick leave policy:

“If you’re sick, leave.”

That includes remote workers.

See, I said she looked like a Victorian woman with makeup on trying to look like she has consumption.

I did not say she looks like she has consumption.

World of difference.

@IamMrsGeek well the Romantics were the height of the consumption beauty trend after all

i sure am finding a lot of ways to accidentally kill visual studio code this week

hackers.town: 2023-12-01 Fri 15:15

@genehack Oh I’m getting there. Just gotta go piecemeal. Limited permissions on the work machine, and a lot of tooling assumptions in the repo.

But I’m working on it.

hackers.town: 2023-12-01 Fri 15:17

@genehack Probably would be easier if I’d committed to Emacs long ago and already knew which workarounds I would need and how to apply them. As it is, loads of discovery and experimentation.

A few bites in and I’m still not sure if they gave me steak or chicken.

We conferred and compared notes and @IamMrsGeek and I have come to the conclusion that the quality bar failing to be met by local restaurants is roughly —

Taco Bell.

I mean. Wow.

Hey look, @IamMrsGeek got me a microwaveable face hugger!

hackers.town: 2023-12-01 Fri 23:06

Got a base on an extreme radioactive world and clearly I am going for something of a trailer trash aesthetic.

The Sentinel ship? Yes officer of course that’s mine.

What?

uh i must have left my papers in my other ship

@nomad @IamMrsGeek This was El Rinconsito in Federal Way. Other folks have been talking it up, so it’s possible we just caught a bad night.

But it was mediocre enough that I’m not interested in trying again.
