i closed reader view and scrolled just to see and wow the POPUPS and 50% of the page length being ads

WHAT

who uses the internet like this and finds it acceptable?!

buys you a little extra time to move to linux

the concept of someone working a 40hr week and not having money relax let alone pay their rent is literally foreign to me

it’s wild that people can work 80hr weeks and still barely scrape by

australia kinda does it like that… our minimum wage is tied to CPI (which covers much more than just food: also entertainment, rent, transport), and afaik was originally based on living standards

a wage that is fair and reasonable… sufficient to meet the normal needs of an average employee, regarded as a human being living in a civilised community.

in fact, australia invented the concept of a “living wage” in 1907

so it should be exactly that today: enough for an average person to live a decent existence (including entertainment, food, housing, etc)

yup they show price per sheet by law

ditto! i’d probably do it in my head for a lot of things still because metric is easy, but it saves me so much time and i’m sure i’m an outlier

generally people think men are evil by default, and women are good by default

i think this is a misunderstanding of the dynamic

we see this play out pretty regularly with the “not all men” arguments and the like: men getting annoyed by women being careful, and taking “you could hurt me” behaviour as some kind of insult. the statement is true: not all men are evil to women, but any man could be evil to women and thus need to be treated as though it’s possible in order to protect themselves

yknow what’s great? unit pricing laws

tldr: in australia businesses must display “unit price” on labels: price per 100g, per 100ml, per sheet, etc for every product so that packages are comparable

also the emdash thing kinda proves that the majority of training data comes properly published works rather than user comments, and that the training methods merge “knowledge” from user stuff like reddit together with books and papers etc

if every user of the fediverse were to change to this style, it would still be a drop in the ocean

and if you somehow did manage to poison the data then what… the AI company isn’t going to catch it? no they do a find and replace… they don’t even need to do it in the training data (though they would)… they could just filter the output

fisting is great too

software is not a one and done, and foss is so far from a workplace. there’s a huge amount of software engineering that’s not writing code, and maintaining a code base over years is far different than a relatively isolated fire and forget

an internship wouldn’t cut it, and neither would foss contributions

i wouldn’t say projects are practise… they’re kinda like a really basic simulator… you’re solving contrived problems so they’re not messy, you don’t have seniors etc, there’s no existing code base, no complex deployments, you’re not doing most of the non-technical parts of software engineering, and the list goes on and on and on

internships are great, but they’re really short

software should be a trade, and treated like apprenticeships… some theory is needed, but it’s wild that anyone thinks 3 years of just theory is going to produce decent software engineers

voyager automatically opens links in reader mode for me and it works about 80% of the time

(but this article it doesn’t work for)

i don’t know what to tell you mate, but i have, and do this regularly: i travel to berlin yearly and drink multiple coffees per day when im there… they have them labelled as their size names, but they are 8oz-12oz sizes: what they call them is irrelevant; it’s the standard when buying the cups, so they are 8oz etc sizes

it’s also kinda irrelevant what a shot of espresso is: they come in 4oz cups… this is the standard that a cafe will give… a shot of espresso is a shot of espresso; the volume of liquid doesn’t really change, and you wouldn’t pay more for a larger amount without extra coffee anyway

for flat whites etc, the standard GLOBALLY is an 8oz cup with a single shot (or sometimes 2 depending on the bean - really that can vary depending on the cafe and how mild their beans are) full to the top with steamed milk… that’s it - there’s no ifs buts or maybes… it’s the same in germany, it’s the same in france, it’s the same in belgium, it’s the same in australia, and yes it’s the same even in the US

even starbucks behind their ridiculous names for their cups use standard cup sizes: a short is 8oz, a tall is 12oz, a grande is 16oz

yet again the US does weird af stuff:

The cup currently used in the United States for nutrition labelling is defined in United States law as 240 ml

Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and some other members of the Commonwealth of Nations, being former British colonies that have since metricated, employ a “metric cup” of 250 millilitres

Canada now usually employs the metric cup of 250 ml

Similar units in other languages and cultures are sometimes translated “cup”, usually with various values around 1⁄5 to 1⁄4 of a litre.

so let’s not base anything metric on what the US does

and as for cup sizes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_cup

Cafes use various sizes of coffee cups to serve mocha, lattes, and other coffee drinks. They are typically 225, 336, 460, and sometimes 570 ml

225ml = 7.61oz

336ml = 11.36oz

460ml = 15.55oz

which pretty much exactly matches up to the 8, 12, and 16oz standard cup sizes as i mentioned

if you walk into pretty much any cafe in the world that has a barista and not just a machine, you’ll be able to ask for an 8oz flat white and you’ll get roughly the same amount of beverage in the same sized cup

these are cup sizes… you typically get a shot of espresso, ristretto, etc in a 4oz cup

like these: https://foodpackagingonline.com.au/products/cups/paper-coffee-cups/single-wall-coffee-cups/ccswwh04

similarly you get things like a magic (3/4 cup double ristretto flat white served in a tulip cup - a tulip cup is ~180ml - same as 6oz) in a 6 or 8oz (depending on the cafe) just not entirety full

also, regular that i put in the comment is 8oz, which is ~256ml - not 500ml; 250ml is a metric cup, so it’s a pretty reasonable regular size even in roughly metric terms
