yes.. another 1K. I blame doctors and insurance companies (but mostly the latter.. the former was taken for a ride long ago by the latter). An example of just how ridiculous this is: my son (who is almost 15), was recommended to have a &

Complete noob (in both FinTech and Blockchain), but in my limited experience in FinTech, if you could eliminate the need for the trusted nth party (Bank Of New York, for example, cleared all of the bond trades we made), then you could save

the twist with gc or refcounting is that you actually still need to think about memory management.. in many ways, unfortunately, it becomes harder to control. An advantage of user managed memory is that you always need to think about it, w

awesome. so awesome. (actually I did have to shift bits once in a C program..I did some AND'ing and OR'ing. I felt like a man.)

I read tegmark' about a year ago. Very insightful for a cosmology noob like me (e.g. Lots of stuff on inflation theory, origin of Carbon (i didn't know),etc.). Clearly believes in the 'many worlds' hypothesis which may

yes, exactly... My girlfriend went through about 2-3 days of 'suck' and then it was ok for a few days (although her cancer was different (colon). The chemo was brutal.. She swears that she'll never do it again, but she&#x2

There was distinct libido mismatch which ultimately deteriorated into an effective 'weapon', if you will (if you do this, you won't get that, kind of thing). Money was never a problem. I suspect money is Often used as conve

I was married 15 years total.. the final nail was probably in the 10th year, I would say. In truth, having 'no idea' is wrong.. it's just that I had the wrong idea;).

That's a pretty insightful article. I wish I had that 20 years ago when I met my future ex-wife. Let's review my list: 1. we don't understand ourselves. (check.. plus). At least not then. 2. we don't understand other

this is really true in my experience. I worked on a large server for a few years and most of my work was spent doing pretty mundane things (mostly interfacing with other libraries(apis)). I certainly didn't use every feature and, lik

I also took Assembly language on the mainframe. It was the only mainframe class I took (all the rest on pc's which, I guess for the time 25+ years ago, was interesting in and of itself), but I learned quite a bit about computer archit

oracle is great, has lots of great tools, and seems to be pretty solid. It is also ridiculously expensive. I have found Postgres to be essentially equal to it in terms of programmability (triggers, stored procedures) and.. it's free.

I do have interesting problems to solve.. and I do enjoy that part of it actually (agree with your point). Problem solving is the fun part for me (and for most who are in this profession). However, if you're any good at it, there is

Me too. Regardless of how many hours I 'work' (which constitutes writing emails, designing systems, taking calls about future or current systems, and, of course, writing code), I'm thinking about 'it'. Other peopl
