I literally just posted this in [email protected] because they had the same energy so I ~~found it on the original Reddit post~~ remembered this one too. Great minds think alike?

"Dear Mr. Architect!" is such a charming start to the letter, sort of getting "kid's letter to Santa" vibes if the kid dreamed of being an architect.
Too bad the rest of the letter isn't quite as charming :P
Shamelessly stolen from a Reddit post that made me laugh when I randomly remembered it today. Figured it was worth reposting to Lemmy if I laughed upon remembering it and not just upon first sight.
Came as a recommendation from a personal friend who finds a lot of cool sites/services/apps that I might be interested in. Started using it about 5 years ago. It is my default search engine on my phone. I have been too lazy to make it my default on my computer, but I do most of my searching on my phone anyways.
- I can easily bend in half and reach past my toes, but this is another ask entirely.
- Even if I could do this, I don't have eyes in my back or a computer screen in my knees.

YouTube page load is 5x slower in Firefox and Edge than in Chrome because YouTube's Polymer redesign relies on the deprecated Shadow DOM v0 API only implemented in Chrome. You can restore YouTube's faster pre-Polymer design with this Firefox extension: https://t.co/F5uEn3iMLR

According to that article,
Google Chrome ads started appearing next to Firefox search terms. Gmail & [Google] Docs started to experience selective performance issues and bugs on Firefox. Demo sites would falsely block Firefox as 'incompatible'
while Firefox was still a Google search partner.
EDIT: Did not realize how long ago this post was made, whoops.
Your comment made me curious, so I looked around the website and found this.
Our dataset documents Texas death row inmates executed from 1976, when the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty, to the present.
On one level, the data is simply a part of a mundane programming book. On another, each row represents immense suffering, lives lost, and in some cases amazing redemption and acceptance. In preparing for this dataset, I was deeply moved by a number of the statements and found myself re-evaluting my position on capital punishment. I hope that as we examine the data, you too will contemplate the deeper issues at play.
Just a warning for folks who might not be in a good mental spot for seeing this in their SQL tutorial right now, or even just if it wouldn't be to your personal tastes. It's not your average school exercise but with morbid flavoring, the site really integrates its data. It provides a lot more information about capital punishment than you strictly need to solve the database problems. That works nicely with their intention of "Exercises should be realistic and substantial".
Likewise, the exercises here have been designed to introduce increasingly sophisticated SQL techniques while exploring the dataset in ways that people would actually be interested in.
The survey creator will not see your suggestion, because they are over on Reddit. OP just reposted this survey for the benefit of Fediverse users.
I'd understanding actively pressuring someone to share their salary being a faux-pas. Admittedly, just sharing your own may make some people feel pressured to share theirs out of reciprocity, but just sharing your own salary generates nowhere near the same amount of pressure as outright telling someone "share your salary or you're a bad person on the side of The Man!"
I hope the amount of people sharing their salary increases and talking about it becomes normalized.
Thanks for a much shorter and better way to explain this tendency of mine and why I rebase a lot, yoinking this phrase.
