My wife and I moved to a town of 3,000 in a county of 17,000 during the pandemic. We almost left to go back to a bigger city because we struggled to find “our tribe” — nerds. But just in the last month, we found so many people that we’ve no

You misread my comment. If you can definitively say that there are some who can create 3x as much value as you, then you can also definitively say that value is measurable. The measurability of value is what was at question in this thread.

2022 median household income after taxes [0] was $64,240, or $5,353/mo. According to the USDA [1], a moderate cost of food prepared at home for a family of four (with, say, a 16 year old daughter and 14 year old son) is $1,378.90/

Time is a funny thing. The "switch" you're talking about was in the mid-1960s, galvanized by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. James Eastland was in elected government from 1928 until 1978. Joe Biden's Senate career started in

TUIs are a really great way to mix GUIs into CLI "suites." For example, one may usually use homebrew through a CLI, but one can imagine that certain workflows with homebrew might be better served through a TUI than a CLI. Perhaps

I’ve noticed similar annoyances lately browsing sites on my 4K displays set to 200% scaling and positioned vertically. Sites tend not to work or look their best at 1080px wide anymore. It almost makes me nostalgic for 960px being the defact

The quintessential semantic use of <b> is for typographically offsetting key words in a longer text, like how 5th Edition D&D adventures do when referencing a monster that has a stat block in the Monster Manual. It’s not strength

For what it's worth, the term "fresh water" has each of those separate connotations in American English too, and it can be just as context-dependent. Both "These fish belong in fresh water, not salt water" and &quot

That means it's zero-cost and source available, not open source. As it's your software that's your choice, but please don't abuse the term "open source" to describe it. It's no more "open source"

What code says you’re “not supposed to”? Why is that morally correct? And most importantly, how do you account for the fact that in the U.S. there are about 53 million people in low wage jobs, but only about 33 million high school and coll

My grandfather invented, marketed, and maybe patented a device on this premise before he died decades ago. I still have one in its retail packaging in my curio cabinet. IIRC the first iteration he made used a keypad to enter the code, and t

If what you seek is a small set of key takeaways, succinctly described, skip to the Conclusion. It's about two pages, and seems to summarize the author's findings and predictions.
