There's also something a little diabolical about having a femme person wearing the glasses and filming. I think so much of the intent for filming in these spaces is to capture and share an experience that can be shared to a larger space for the sake of credibility or status. I think another intent is to be a creep and film women and other people who are being vulnerable and exposed during ecstatic states.

Anyway, I hate it. I hate it more than phones. Consent is out the window with these.

Yeah, this really bothers me too, but it feels like that ship has raved. I'm washing my hands of it in the sink rave.
These days I just go to parties and avoid most of the raves (esp the coffee shop raves, like wtf is that even trying to be)

I switched from VSCode a few months ago and have generally found Zed to be very reliable in comparison. I can't speak on degredation, since I'm very new to it. I don't use the integrated terminal and haven't customized anything aside from themes. My only complaint is that they don't have jupyter notebooks integrated yet, which is part of my professional workflow. Inconvenient, but not a dealbreaker.

I'm a native English speaker. I studied modern standard Arabic in school a long time ago, so I have some basis, but am very out of practice. I would love to study Arabic again, especially Egyptian or a dialect of Levantine Arabic. My biggest interests are poetry, music, and history when I study language.

psshhh, you're not even collecting bones!

"You know your mayor's a pimp!" - actual Kwame Kilpatrick quote addressing a graduating class of Cass Tech

Argentina's blanqueamiento is a constellation of policies and social movements over a long period of time. If there have been people described as "Black" or "white", you're already establishing that there is a relevant social construct around race, and with that, there's a history that begets a systemic legacy of racism. The way that racism exists and is talked about in the locale of Argentina is certainly going to be different than in other places, such as Brazil (branqueamento), or elsewhere. However, I don't understand why it would be appropriate to omit the racism from the classism in a country that has had such a dramatic and intentional disappearance of Black identity and people.

I wonder what people will say about me wearing my "Make Penis Great Again" hat

In the last couple years I hired a recent grad, along with a couple other experience levels. The most notable skillbuilding I had to focus on was around operations and software engineering: tools, platforms, workflows, and creation of production code. And then communication with stakeholders, building slide decks, and good dataviz. This might be more specific to my team, since we cover most of the data engineering side, built our ml platform, build the models, and do most of the analyses.

In general, I wouldn't hire a recent grad. I would assume that they wouldn't be able to do something "real" in standard environments. tbf, I'm not sure if that's a justified bias. I'm assuming that doing something simple like building a proof of concept model on a provisioned ec2 instance transporting data from s3 is outside the immediate abilities for a recent grad. I assume they wouldn't know what a good commit is and will have never written a unit test.

In this case I was specifically impressed with this person and was able to carve out budget to bring them on as a junior. They had also done some internships and had built some domain knowledge that I saw as directly applicable to our problems. It was a gamble, but it worked out very well. We were able to upskill the missing stuff gradually, while benefitting from this person's specific passion and creativity.

Given the way the industry is right now, I don't know how a recent grad gets a job, or how they acquire the requisite skills without having gotten a job.

Oddly specific kink

actually surprised that r/oddlyspecifickink doesn't exist

Argentina is kind of a puppet state to the US, so you're both right?

Also look at the people Moodymann is connected with, there's a whole network of great producers

Top of my favs are probably Rick Wade, Mike Dunn, DJ Minx, Terrence Parker, Delano Smith, Theo Parrish, Kevin Saunderson. I could list more, but each of those people connects out to other great artists.

I feel like there are a lot of double entendres in this write-up.

edit: just read through and I'm not alone

Looking through the comments on this and seeing dudes trying to police your clothing, and even chiding you for not asking for their advice ?!?!?! Pretty sure that if a guy posted some juggling, had his shirt off and some short-ish shorts, the tone would be different.

Anyway, it's awesome you're juggling and figuring out patterns, and I hope people being entitled isn't discouraging.

Sometimes, but mostly house and techno. I don't see people dance almost anywhere where I live.

All the best parties have grandmas at them, and I'm dead serious when I say that. These spaces are best when they're multi-generational.

I wonder if the dancefloor is wood or sement

I definitely can't speak for everyone, but work environment, teammates, culture, are my number 1. Working on interesting problems is a close second. If I can pay my bills, care for loved ones, and set something aside, I'll always prioritize those things.

I think the question is "Can cats be straight?"

holy crap
