No. If someone thinks their home is worth 500k, they’re going to sell it for 500k. The rate just affects how much you give the bank in interest instead of principal.

Normal users use the API constantly, they just don’t realize it. Isn’t half the schtick of LLMs making software development available for the layman?

I think the short answer is: interest rates. No?

I had that thought too, and thought I must have misunderstood something. I generally assume I’m the dummy. :)

Ft. Meade is a big employer in that area, Raytheon as well. Northrop Grumman is commutable from there, as is Annapolis junction and Columbia. Baltimore and DC can be commuted to from that area. DC would be rough if you don’t take the metro

> So when a new home owner buys something and suddenly the value drops $100k and the bank wants the money I do feel slightly sorry for them. I don’t understand this point. If you’re paying the mortgage, the bank dgaf. Is there some sort

Very rarely does the value of a purchase increase over time. Literally the only examples I can come up with are things that are very old and rare, or a house. Viewing a home as some kind of investment vehicle is everything wrong with the ho

The greatest I know of are actual paradigm-shift athletes. We must not watch the same games.

I’ll never cease to be amazed about this industry. Programming for the web is a thing, sure. I’ve made a small fortune having never written a single line of JavaScript. The ecosystem is bigger than the internet.

My entire point is, fuck Bradys system. Someone will find a better one. Being pidenholed into weightlifting where there is only “one true way” is your blind spot.

This is very simply refuted: you're not one of the 5 strongest people in the world. Brady, Manning, were the best at what they do, top 5 in the world at the time they played and to this day. When you're not competing with yourself

Have you watched much, or any, American Football? I considered typing out a novella, but it wouldn't mean much if you're as unfamiliar with the sport as you seem to be.

actual point: if I'm the best at what I do, and nobody is pushing to become better than me, I will stagnate because nobody else has exposed a better possible pinnacle. Iron sharpens iron.

I said it many times on this forum, Harris had no platform. There was nothing to vote for. I’m just so tired of “fuck the GOP” when, as you say, it was inevitable. People love to hate a villain, I get it. “It was Hilarys turn, we will just

I appreciate your point and your candor, however forking is not new tech. This 'etiquette' is not at all new.

Sure would have been great if, in 2016 and 2024 elections, the democrats had nominated someone who could have beat Trump. Or conversely, had not nominated the two people who didn't stance a chance. But yeah, keep railing against the GO

Not at all against the idea, thinking about it from the other perspective: people would just use leave, or WFH, or take LWOP for the teacher aspect to take care of their kids. Or form a commune where one parent takes care of ~10 kids and ev

I'm just saying, I'm happy to pay for our system at the cost of seven whole dollars in energy cost per month, for my spouse and kids if nothing else. If in 20 years I find out I got ripped off, I won't really be upset about i

This point always amuses me. Thats like, 1 starbucks coffee a month, or 1 trip to a fast food place a month, or one extra thing at the grocery store a month, or half a movie ticket a month, or half a streaming service a month, or less than

> rust has a C++-flavored syntax I do not at all agree with this. Rust is by far the most complex language in terms of syntax that has ever become popular enough to compare it to anything.
