And how much compute time/power does “decompressing” take compared to a jpg?

Besides I think they’d be more well rounded working a well paying trade for example than going tens to hundreds of thousands in debt hanging out in echo chambers and coming out with no marketable skills.

Cursive is optimized for fountain pens I believe. As long as we have pencils and ballpoint pens, using cursive is just a holdover from olden times with no actual pros compared to simpler writing methods

I do wonder is cursive really that hard to read without any lessons? It’s still English just with a awkward font. Writing cursive has a lot of rules but I would think most GenZers could read the constitution albeit slowly

I mean the store is making you do their very low paid tedious job for free on an inferior machine. It’s not exactly a barrel of laughs.

I usually self checkout but I have an issue at least 70% of the time

Also go work somewhere close to your standards. From experience I can tell you that this is a battle you can’t win in a reasonable time table. There’s a reason it is the way it is and you can’t change those people.

I thought we were over this in like June 2020. Do they still have that policy? Trust the science!

I mined for a few weeks out of curiosity and I figured it would work as a heater downstairs since it was winter. I would think that the best move was to sell your GPU about a month before it all ends since the actual mining doesn’t make enough money to offset the resale value plummet.

I had that a few years ago on those scummy up sell warranty plans they trick you into buying at car dealerships. I had to fax a signed cancellation form. Thankfully there are Web services that allow you to send pdfs but it was obnoxious.

True but you also get more “free” services for your tax payments - especially if you have kids.

None of my kids would ever even take a pacifier. There are so many different babies that there is certainly no one true method.

If they lowered their hiring bar I’d be happy to do Jack shit all day too

It’s also dumb since I’ve had that title for almost 10 years now but I’m easily 3-5x better at my job than when I initially got it. I do get paid more which is nice and work at a better company. I still mainly like to code and system design so I’m not planning on becoming a professional meeting-goer.
