As a Canadian, like how this only goes down to -20c, meanwhile we went below -40c in plenty of areas this winter.

During the second Trump administration, the population of migrants held at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities has exploded—from below 40,000 in January 2025 to over 73,000 today. Under the law, ICE is required to provide necessary medical care for this population.

No one gonna call out the fact that this wording asserts the people are migrants, instead of alleged migrants?

Scummy… We know for a fact a shit tonne of these people are native US citizens being held captive by the fascists without cause, and are now also being denied their medical treatment as well.

Literal concentration camps, CALL IT WHAT IT IS.

This actually isnt that weird, happens all the time

However, its less common that it impacts a common consumer product of the same type.

But a thing to be used in making a huge project causing prices to shoot up ahead of time is very normal.

Its just usually stuff like concrete, steel, lumber, etc that is impacted the most, but turns out RAM as a global industry wasnt ready to scale up to a sudden huge spike in demand.

Give it a couple yesrs and it’ll level out as producers scale up to meet the new demand.

Its weird that this isnt being noted as a huge fuckin deal.

Congressional members being actively muted and then the public being told it was unanimous is some gestapo bullshit.

We’ve gone past talking over speakers and now are outright muting them…

Some guy who worked as an artis for Hasbro then started his own game company a year ago and has made one game since isn’t a source of much credibility here.

Companies are actively using AI in their workflows now whether you like it or not, and you can sit and pretend theres some secret cabal of artists (scoff) who somehow are the ones with a say on other artists getting hired (scoff), but thats… not how it is.

The people making the calls are, tbh, incredibly ravenous for anything remotely related to AI. I don’t think its a smart idea, but it doesnt change the fact there is appetite for it in the market, jobs to be had, etc etc.

However, I don’t think a portfolio of AI art is useful… at all

Hiring practices are way more interested in peoples ability to train and refine models, not use them.

I mean using them is sorta useful too, but thats quickly becoming a literal baseline skill that they just expect you are able to do. Prompt engineering is quickly becoming just sort of an expected “you should know how to do this, its not a selling point, its the bar” thing, akin to “you know how to use a mouse and keyboard and write emails” kind of thing.

Not like its hard, prompt engineering is pretty easy to take a 30 min lesson on and be “good enough” so thats why its such a baseline whatever skill.

If you cant do it though (and yes, I have met people who cant figure out how the hell you prompt an AI, they just literally dont get it), you probably will lose your job security very fast. Get used to it lol…

NOTE Im not saying any of the above is a good thing, but it is reality, whether you like it or not.

Naw.

For context at this time the Jewish people were under strict roman rule and oppression, treated as second class citizens. And a lot of Jewish folks had stopped giving a fuck about respecting their own culture/religion.

Jesus shows up to this huge, extremely sanctious, temple. It’s not just any temple, its one of THE temples for Jewish worship.

Inside he finds that the romans+Jewish merchants have pretty much turned it into an animal pen + marketplace. It’s filthy, there’s animals shitting all over, there’s people doing business, people are being extremely disrespectful.

So yeah Jesus goes apeshit and starts flipping tables, chasing ppl out of the temple, whipping people and animals, basically being like “all you assholes gtfo how dare you”

It’s less about the money stuff and more about the donkeys actively shitting on the floor and ppl spitting on the temple.

Contextually its likely people were doing stuff like pissing on the wall (no bathroom in a makeshit marketplace, what do you think would happen), graffiti’ing, spitting, throwing garbage on the floor, so on and so on.

Now, originally, this business made sense. Specifically, pilgrims traveling a long distance needed to stop for some key stuff on arrival.

Pilgrims needed animals and approved currency for sacrifices, which they’d do at the temple, so setting up to do that stuff right at the temple made sense.

But what happened is a simple lil currency exchange + buy a sacrifice stall exploded to be a whole marketplace as seedier and more sus ppl moved in, and soon the original point was lost.

It probably originally just started as one guy just exchanging coins and selling goats/chickens outside the temple as a legit business.

As further insult/context, consider the fact that once they moved this process to be in the temple, it meant they were controlling people’s access to worship.

Effectively it became a state of “you have to pay to pray” at the temple, and not a tithe, but more like literally having to pay a bunch of money to even get the right coins, the approved animals, etc.

You couldn’t bring your own stuff now.

You know how movie theaters wouldn’t let you bring in your own food, and would charge you an arm and a leg for anything? Yeah, think of it like that.

Inb4 the same bug also exists on the original

The thing about QA is the work is truly endless.

If they can do their work more efficiently, they don’t get laid off.

It just means a better % of edge cases can get covered, even if you made QAs operate at 100x efficiency, they’d still have edge cases not getting covered.

“Hey internet I was thinking of cutting some of my babies dick off”

“Bro wtf what”

“Just a lil bit, just the tip!”

“Aw okay that’s fine mate!”

Did you think this would be how it goes?

Don’t… cut parts of your baby’s dick off dude, it’s a weird thing to do.

… Proceeds to use Svelte cuz it has the exact features I want

React is popular but I honestly don’t care about llm weenie vibe coder junior devs being biased towards react. Lions don’t concern themselves with the opinions of sheep.

The majority of shit apps are being made with react sure.

But skilled seniors who intend to make something robust don’t even tend to have an llm enabled that will even influence their opinion on the first place. The majority of senior devs keep repeating the same sentiment: llms primarily are slowing them down more than helping.

Junior devs that crutch on llms are falling behind and the quality of their output shows. They grow slower and produce worse output.

It’s one thing to use it for monotonous tasks, but if it influences your higher level important decisions you are probably already cooked.

Or… I know what I’m talking about maybe.

For perspective, I sit at around a 40%-50% callback rate on my submissions to go to screening, when I’m looking for a job.

Formatting is honestly a big part. Left align what matters.

Too wordy, missing key details, too big, too small, etc

Missing they key words the job posting covers. If the job posting talks about Node and angular and your resume doesn’t explicitly namedrop them, then it loses a tonne of points.

Usually the majority of resumes that pass the sanity check then go to screening. You’d be surprised how many people just screw up basic stuff.

Every single time I’ve had someone complain to me about job offers, I’ll grab a random job posting I find and ask em to send me the version of their resume + cover letter they would send to that specific posting.

Quite often within a min or two I can find several reasons why their resume would’ve gotten bin’d

Usually these sorts of results are an issue with your resume or cover letter.

As someone on the other end, the sheer amount of applications I get means any resume that isn’t setup correctly can just go straight into the bin and I still have hundreds of good resumes to work with.

If the majority of your applications get rejected/ignored BEFORE a screener that means your resume or cover letter is improperly formatted or something is wrong with them that triggers an auto reject

Whenever a racing game comes out and they put sonic in a vehicle, I wish they’d note it in the lore itself

It’s gotta be a case of “sonic we are putting you in this car to make this race fair” which I’d find hilarious if they acknowledge it out loud.

IE have him say something like “don’t make me get out of this car” or whatever as a threat, or, “I’d have won if I wasn’t in this hunk of junk” or etc

The entire concept of Sonic in a car is hilarious to me, because while everyone else is going fast, he’s just like “oh my goooood why is this thing so slooooww”

What makes that the more likely scenario?

Because it’s their facility

this facility has never had this issue until the FBI showed up to commandeer their incinerator.

Says who?

For all we know they’ve had issues everytime they incinerate but they ignored it cuz a lil bit of smoke from 1 cat is way easier to shrug off compared to a huge amount of meth

It’s very possible they just have been ignoring the problem because normal smoke from incineration a very small cadaver isn’t a big deal, whereas meth fumes are extremely toxic and not something you can just shrug off

Lord knows I’ve worked with workers who have the “I’ve been doing it this way for 10 years and never had an issue, don’t be a pussy” type of attitude too

So hard to say, without more info it’s basically just us speculating.

rather than the FBI for their clear incompetence?

The article has not stated who was responsible for operation of the facility.

It’s more likely the responsibility was on the staff to ensure the equipment at their own facility was functioning right

This sort of error should have been covered by prior operation licensing checks, a facility with an incinerator on premises shouldn’t have negative pressure issues

So something somehow caused a negative pressure issue.

Usually the culprit is some kind of exhaust fan being run, or a door being left open too long

Based on time of year and how hot out it is, I wonder if a staff member left a door propped open or something.

Incinerator systems need positive pressure overall.

Anyone who lives in the north and has a gas based furnace heating system knows how deadly negative air pressure can be…

Read the article:

The incinerator is usually used by animal control officers to dispose of euthanised animals, but local authorities said it can also be used by law enforcement to burn seized narcotics.

The incident was caused when smoke was pushed in the wrong direction because of negative pressure, according to Assistant City Administrator Kevin Iffland.

That sounds like it wasn’t a method specific issue, and if anything had been burnt in that incinerator it would’ve caused the same issue.

Sounds like the facility wasn’t setup right, any facility with an incinerator should definitely have positive pressure, not negative.

Getting a later special meeting request with the ceo, at one company, because he wanted feedback on their interview process itself. He then offered me a different job and I had to decline cuz I already accepted another (this was a few weeks after the initial decline I gave)

In another case they just fast tracked me and I ended up declining the job anyways (didn’t like the job)

I’m full time employed but I still do occasiobal interviews to keep feelers out for how the market is. But I typically decline most offers cuz they’re not good enough to get me to actively quit my current job.
