Everyone's paying a lot of attention to how bad Trump is, or the midterms. My question is, what happens in 2028? How much of current policy is something the majority of Republican voters (let alone the American people) or the politic

Your documentation needs improvement. It proudly mentions the alphabet soup of technologies you use, but it leaves me completely baffled about what s2 does, what problem s2 is trying to solve, or who the intended audience of s2 is. So you

When someone says "stream data over the Internet," my automatic reaction is "open a TCP connection." Adding a database, multiple components, and Kubernetes to the equation seems like massively overengineering. What value

I am amazed that someone smart enough to be a chess grandmaster is apparently not smart enough to "Just say no" to drugs. Or maybe he didn't take them voluntarily, and his death was foul play (a wild claim which is entirely s

I think the administration's real goal isn't taking over Greenland. I think it's scaring the EU enough about the possibility the US might take over Greenland that the EU pays to fortify it so the US doesn't have to. (S

Advertising spend being too high is a symptom of a supply glut. Too many products in the marketplace, not enough consumers to buy them. In a different world where there are higher wages, more people would have more spending power. Then co

I spent an enormous amount of time in DOS, color 7 on color 0, gray on black. The IDE everybody used was aggressively gray on blue [1]. Which is #AAAAAA on #000000 to you kids with your fancy Super VGA monitors with megabytes of video memo

Did you ever use CRT monitors or were the computers you used already LCD by the time you were spending significant amounts of time on them? (Gosh, I feel old thinking about the possibility that someone who's been doing this for 20 year

Crypto is a PVP zone. Everyone is aware that investing in crypto is risky. Especially recently established meme coins with no functional innovation whose principal distinction is celebrity endorsement. I find it puzzling that intellectuall

The article implies it's a mystery, but to me the cause is pretty obvious: Some businesses and consumers had spending patterns that were only viable due to ZIRP, COVID stimulus, and QE. The resulting inflation spike followed by QT and

One could just as easily say "The EV market is twice its natural size because it's being unnaturally propped up by subsidies." Are there worthier causes the government could spend that on? Or maybe not spend the money at all

Paying for long distance telephone service is beginning to pass from a shared, lived experience of most Americans into history. There's already a generation gap. As of 2025, those in their 40s and older probably actually paid a long d

10↑↑4 is Knuth's arrow notation, it means 10^(10^(10^10)). Which is really big. The inner exponent 10^10000000 is already way, way over the limit of computational steps you have any hope of physically computing [2] without some kin
