> This only works when you trust your team members. This means absolutely nobody who can fire me on the spot, not my supervisor, not my skip, not the CEO/CTO/VP should be on the call.

not sure how I'd've ever justified suggesting engineering standup without our engineering manager present

my favorite part is how brokerages like morgan stanley don't report the cost basis when they report your sales to the irs, and for no reason I can find.

This means that if you don't report sales from your side so you can note the cost basis, the irs assumes a cost basis of 0 and calculates owed tax on the entire sale value - this applies to stuff like RSU grants as well, and trips up a great many people entering the tech sector ( especially young people who may not have much tax filing experience )

I legitimately don't know why brokerages don't all include the cost basis by default ( or why they aren't required to by law )

w2 only would mean independent contractors , like gig workers, won't be able to use it, right? since they get 1099's and not w2's?

Was this recent? My Costco still had Hot Pockets as of last month

this is honestly way cooler than the OP tweet

my guess is that's primarily due to the shift in incentives for social media, but also Svelte's decision being made by the group of maintainers/contributors together, and not impacting end users more or less at all as Svelte didn't stop generating types when they swapped from TS to JS+JSDoc

neat, any thoughts on how to use a different base app?

Developer drama on twitter was always tiring but it's gotten so much worse since direct financial incentives for high engagement came into play

> Mojo is now available for local download – beginning with Linux systems, and adding Mac and Windows in coming releases.

sure would be nice if this was front and center on the actual website; the download page requires the user create an account in order to even find out that linux is the only supported platform at present.

Honestly I just want a sync solution I can host on my NAS that the mobile app can still access, which unfortunately isn't something the app natively supports, and more or less all of the current community solutions come with one caveat or another ( like the otherwise lovely git solution having issues on iOS clients, for example )

this is extremely cool when it works well!

my poor pixel 3 can't play back almost anything on the site without constant popping ( resembling artifacts, I think? ), which is sad

Great, another social media platform that won't have any form of support team.

Twitter at least had one you could actually talk to before Elon took over, but Instagram has lacked support contact methods for years at this point.

Using a platform where you have no recourse or even method of reaching out if something goes awry is always a dangerous game to play :(
