When I was a kid, I recall police coming to our classrooms to fingerprint us. The whole school got fingerprinted. The idea was to help police if kids went missing. Whether or not you believe that justification ("Stranger Danger"

If you're predisposed to being grumpy, regardless of if the reason is justifiable or not - that's called "grumpy". People generally feel justified about their feelings. Imagine that.

It's been said that people who do not have a high EQ gravitate towards tech, because machines are easier to understand than people.

The current self-host infra is absolutely a yak shaving exercise. My point is, it doesn't have to be once the various solutions mature. Jesus it is irritating to get all the different stacks booting as services on Windows. So many of

Disabling my Facebook account helped for me. That was easily the most "bad drug" internet site I was on.

Broadly (in another comment I made) I think I've made sense of it. Regardless of the real population, it's probably not just the Uzbek population sustaining these places. That most likely wouldn't be viable. My wife'

I've been feeling this way too. I'd rather spend more time outside being active than behind a computer for my whole life - my job, my hobbies. Alas, I have to pay the bills, and I'm a long way until retirement. And my hobbi

Could be. "Ethnic" sounds to my ear a lot less possibly offensive than "migrant" given the current climate.

https://www.neilsberg.com/insights/lists/uzbek-population-in... Figuring some fudge factor too. It could be low - it's hard to find numbers for nationality counts for central Asians broken down by state.

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct! In terms of common usage though, it's as I said, especially in North America.

CS 101, no? Recursion is easier to write, but less performant and more risky than iteration.

Migrant is actually the wrong word entirely, I think. Migrants move around to follow the work. (Think more like "Nomad") Immigrants resettle in new places. I'm reading more about it, and probably these restaurants survive b

My wife and I own a restaurant. It's a tough business. I feel like there must be more interest among native-born Americans in foreign food these days, based on the fact there's 3 Uzbek restaurants within a couple of neighboring c

A better protocol for email seems like it should be lower on the list compared to a better protocol for phone calls. And don't just say we'll build that on HTTP too!

I have had many poor experiences with recruiters. You have heard all the same stories I have to tell. The ones you may not have heard is the odd post on LinkedIn from a recruiter which suggests that the role is so cutthroat that you have t

Rather a lot more things about human genomic history are known today compared to 2000. Discoveries about being able to process lactose and when those genes evolved all were after 2000, for example. Does it excuse Gould for making such bold

That varies from state to state, and even city to city. Where I live "adult entertainment" businesses are forced in most cities to use industrial zoning, like in warehouse / factory districts. In Texas, I guess it is a lot mo

Even so! That problem is more solvable than expecting to fight the surveillance state by shutting down data center buildouts. It is worth noting that the president is deathly afraid of the problem of him having all the power getting solved

You're putting words in my mouth. Don't. The government has the kind of power needed to rein in all of these privacy issues by regulating big tech. It will be difficult, but more difficult things have been achieved in our lifeti

Yeah, but the thing is - those guys aren't using the majority of data center capacity out there. The Anti-DC crowd doesn't appreciate that the surveillance state is coming with our without all these DC's being built. That is
