Finding a compiler from your new language to your work language is a great way to practice this. I became interested in F# and found a F# to JS compiler. I can write F# code and call it from JS and do it in any toy code or side project I ha

Much of the PPP loans taken were fraudulent, wasteful, unnecessary and inflationary. Businesses who had no need for them took them and had their best quarters and year. The market sloshed around and shot up with all this 'free' mo

To further this, if you have 200k of VTI/VTSAX or of a non vanguard alternative, that's $15,000 of Apple stock alone. It's about 6% of VTI currently which will hold true of any broad based market fund. If you own a tech secto

Grubhub is one such site when trying to cmd+click on a restaurant. It's absurd their engineers haven't fixed something so simple.

I've begun IF and have found it helpful for losing weight. What works for me is one meal a day being dinner with a workout an hour or so after I finish eating. I may also workout before dinner, after I finish work. I use an apple watch

I'd say its AR or VR systems. Sure they're commercial and easy to purchase - but not nearly as common as xbox/playstations or smartphones/computers.

I've noticed this too and its extremely frustrating. The intro logo plays before every episode, there are commercials for other paramount+ shows. It's very frustrating and deceptive. I will quit it soon.

I’m with you on the words or character part. As others have said for line numbers using relative numbers makes it easy. I end up doing stuff like dt( to delete up until the opening parenthesis or ci’ to to delete inside quotes. Otherwise as

I’m a bit confused. In NYC we recently completed the swap to Omny which supports any contactless payment - physical card, apple pay, google pay, etc. This is available in all trains and buses. The only exception is when transferring to the

The national debt field. I believe it is inflation adjusted and if the US were to 'magically' create a coin worth 31 trillion dollars, that number would go to 0 and we would be able to pay off the entire thing. There would be no m

That is correct. Inflation reduces existing debt. The problem is we continue to issue new and more debt at higher rates so the total amount still only goes up.

The biggest challenge is writing readable code and this should be focused on a bit more on top of does the code work and pass the tests for the programming assignment. Everyone has their own style of writing code but I find code in the vein

It's pretty hard to change your job every few months or even every year. With persistent inflation, you'd need to do so to maintain purchasing power. That's a danger of persistent inflation. There are others. It must be stopp

I think it's in the order of magnitude of ~5 years until the refresh rate is good enough. I meant high refresh rate in context of eink screens today. I want a refresh rate nearly as good as a normal monitor (~120) but I'd be happy

The web gets its share of criticism and sometimes its deserved, but it runs on every device, on every screen size and never comes close to the size of an app.

The 'issue' with forms and front end is that we cram the entire kitchen sink into the front end code, handling everything about them via onChange: validation, error messaging, options etc. There's very little need for a o

Love to see it. While the 45 day delay (which can often be longer as some representatives and senators file afterwards with no real penalty) may degrade the performance, tracking these trades actively as a financial product is a great step

I find Go an exceptionally weird language. Multiple return values and constant nil checking and error handling is odd - there are far better patterns for handling this but Go chose something that looks easy but doesn't scale well. I ha

I think the issue around anxiety and grades is real - perhaps the better approach though is to rethink how much we base on an individuals grades as a measure of intelligence and accomplishment.

Credit Karma was bought by Intuit - the makers of turbo tax who are responsible for lobbying against the IRS from supporting its own free online tax filing service. Luckily that is changing. I have little trust in Intuit.

What I always fail to understand about these situations is why an incumbent firm wouldn't latch on to this to beat out their competitors. You can see this in energy companies' hesitation to accept and invest in renewable energy. U
