   When the alternative is nothing or paying a lot of money for something you need to make a lot of money, people will pay a lot of money. It still crazy though. The 80s don't seem that long ago.

   Sounds like a few tv studios could do well to pick up Jonathan Hickman as a long-term series developer.

   Bingo. That's why the friend that points out you've been scammed gets more vitriol than the conman. They've basically, in objective terms, called the mark stupid.

   Yeah, that guy has been around since forever. The only one I can think of that's been in power longer is putin.

   It's hilarious the CTO was enforcing corporate logo aesthetics. Talk about nanomanagement. Sheesh.

    Great, keep me posted on your progress. Just ordered 2. The price point was just too good to pass up for that much horsepower and ram.

    Yep. There are lots of talented people, programming wise, who can't communicate vision, lead, or inspire teams. These are mostly orthogonal to technical skill, but are extremely important if you're building something that require

    Also the TI AM6442. Its an awesome chip but the sdk and tooling for the evaluation board is a little rough around the edges.

    Upper class folks send their kids into law & medicine. Technology is more of a proletariat aspiration.

    In real-time systems with millions of lines of code, no debugging capabilities outside of logs, and user misuse use cases, you'd be surprised what can lurk beneath.

    C++ is needlessly complex and puts too much of a cognitive burden on the developer. I just wasted a day of my life traced to an errant semicolon in a legacy cpp base. I've used the language for 20 years. It can't be saved.

    I don't think gates won't have made a difference against Apple during that period. Apple's taste and aesthetics were just too much to overcome in the post-pc era.

    I wonder if SBF was really dumb enough to think he could just get away with it, forever. It makes no sense, like stealing a car you always wanted on camera with a gps tracker in it that you know traces your exact location. You know you&#x27
