It's not always romance related, sometimes it's just a promise of massive crypto investment returns. "Pig butchering" is more apt as the long con is like fattening up an animal before slaughter.

IMO fuel taxes should be higher if it means more people and companies buy hybrids and EVs.

Anyone else find it hilarious that snake bites follow the logic of "expose yourself to just a little deadly poison to gain immunity"?

Correct me if I'm wrong but the usual advice in the C/C++ world is just grab the source code of any libraries you want and build them yourself (or use built-in OS libs). This is not great if you have a lot of dependencies.

As an American I have mad respect for Canadians (and Europeans) that stand up to the total political destruction that is happening.

Back in the day repositories had 'maintainers' who reviewed packages before they became included. I guess no one really cares in the web dev world; it's a free-for-all.

That doesn't work with automated metrics, whomever is assigned the work item gets all the points.

Anyone else feel like AI is a trap for developers? I feel like I'm alone in the opinion it decreases competence. I guess I'm a mid-level dev (5 YOE at one company) and I tend to avoid it.

I have to wait until March to get all my documents from brokerages, so I guess I am personally screwed by DOGE if returns are delayed.

I feel you. I have some friends with depression and/or anxiety and sometimes the emotional dumping they do on me is hard to deal with. They are in counseling and I'm doing my best to help them and be a good listener.

> Some of them just made stupid mistakes when they were younger IMO intent matters, if they access a bank DB as a skill test (and disclose the hack to the bank) that's fine. If they're taking a hospital offline for giggles they

That case was absolutely crazy, imagine getting accused of fraud and embezzlement just because of a computer bug.

Real talk, the helicopter was operating night VFR, right? How is this safe when the jet is moving extremely fast relative to the chopper and the only separation is a visual reference to some navigation lights?

I'm still mad that I have to keep track of a tiny 3.5mm to USB-C dongle.

It seems like every few years law enforcement puts out statements about how good encryption is for criminals, and then they have to walk it back as data breaches happen.

Hot take- VHS has terrible quality, I just watched some old animated tapes from my childhood and they look bad. Thank goodness for DVD remasters.

There are few thing I can do as an individual to alleviate homelessness- throwing money at the problem won't fix it (see NYC spending $332 per diem). I also don't think there is any technical solution to homelessness, it's a

I don't know about your tastes, but personally (as an individual contributor) the idea of classic manager work (dealing with vacations, perf reviews, hiring, firing, etc) are extremely unappealing to me.

Aren't there some places that "tip-out" back of the house staff from the waitstaff tip pool?

IMO they're not to big to fail. The gov't could force a breakup into military vs civilian vs space. Yes, this would be a huge win for Airbus and the like but the buck needs to stop somewhere.

Yeah that law is ridiculous. What happens if you are a metal-detecting enthusiast looking for valuables and you stumble upon something archaeological? Are you just gonna get fined?

My take (as an American) on the one reason why cashless sucks: exorbitant transaction fees. 3% plus 50 cents is ridiculous, it should be like 0.1% at most for payment processor infrastructure.
