I flagged them as spam the other day.

Kill your lawn and let the native plants take over.

I'd rather not get a bunch of ticks while walking to my door.

If you kill the lawn, won't the invasive plants take over?

Even if they were going to, you could just seed it with some native, low-growing "groundcover": clovers, fescues, whatever is in your area.

And yet, there are other people prepared to say they continue to be contacted by recruiters currently.

I'm contacted by recruiters not constantly, but steadily. But they all want me to accept a pay cut of about 50% for a contract role of 3-6 months half way across the country.

I get one a week minimum, hundreds per year. I don’t follow up often enough to know whether they are real and separate etc though.

Appreciate the anecdote and your other comments on HN. But I strongly suspect you are incredibly atypical based on your background and previous work experience in ways that would tremendously down weight the probability that any part of your experience with recruiters would apply to even above average engineers.

Thanks for posting this, it has made me reflect. I think that’s a fair point.

Yup totally organic.

You don't technically need workspaces for this with app/window hotkey assignments via raycast or hammerspoon, for example.

They're not asking for anything, they're pointing out a thought provoking observation.

The lucky ones learn about the finger in the butt and hind leg wheel barrow maneuvers before they have to use them.

I've seen the video where all these methods were tried to no avail, so I don't have much faith in them. The safest solution is to put the animal down, but of course you have to have something on hand to do that. A 4x2 to the temple should do it. That'll end the aggressor and save the victim.

"Should", maybe, but I've seen a pretty disturbing video where a pit bull took a lot more than one hit... it was multiple minutes of hits. And it only let go after it died, I've never seen anything like it.

Damn, I was hoping the shock of a hard knock to the head might cause it to release. There goes that theory.

Do you know where I can find that video?

Robert Cabral has a video on the proper technique

You might need something like rebar to stick in the back of the mouth and pull back when that doesn't work

> finger in the butt

What

Username checks out.

It doesn't work when a dog really doesn't want to let go. I think it would even make it bite stronger.

By the way, good luck sticking your finger in a dog but when he is fighting... I think you didn't try it much before giving advices.

I enjoy youtrack for its simplicity, native markdown support, command pallette, and solid vcs integration. So much bloat and friction with jira.

I do not understand why Jetbrains Youtrack is not more widely used. It's affordable, supports markdown, has a better vcs integration, fast & easy API...

I'll say this is the first time I've heard of YouTrack.

Smart move from JetBrains - many companies will already be paying them for their IDEs.

They have a website, a twitter handle, and a GitHub profile with their real name.

Give svalboard a look. Might be some old threads on here about it.
