I have to try this. Language is similar to VB6. I've used many languages from ASM, C, and C++ to Python, PHP, Ruby, C#, and Java. However, my most productive language by far (oddly enough) was VB6. I've done some amazing stuff in

I have to disagree. I absolutely have the money to buy a Tesla, but I don't. Why? I don't want a giant button-less touch screen, for starters. Next: I don't want to find myself stranded in my state the second I go a ways away

If stock buybacks were against the law, corporate taxes were higher, capital gains taxes were higher, and loopholes were closed, we wouldn't see this. The only way to earn more money in the environment I described would be to actively

The only reason I got into development (and have a successful career) today is because I was able to work on what I wanted to prior to starting said career. If a parent had 'tasked' me with anything, it would have turned me off. N

For the price I would pay on AirBnB I can (and do) rent a hotel suite with all of those benefits. A suite only costs a bit more a night than a regular room, and typically includes a bedroom, living area, and kitchenette with plenty of space

FYI long term hotels are a thing. I've encountered them in most areas I've visited. There is one near me that charges $190/week. Some don't offer housekeeping, etc, however they are quite common. The one near me includes

I'll wager the opposite because even modern AI sucks at anything other than language interpretation. AI is absolutely awesome for history recall, but ask it to innovate and you will find where the limits lie. Also I've yet to run

If you think it is true, try it. You will quickly discover the 'find out' part of 'fuck around and find out'. In all states, driving is a privilege and not a right. In all states as well as anywhere in the United States

FWIW, I've seen good Scrum and bad Scrum. The company I work at currently actually does an amazing job with Scrum. Cases like these help me have faith in Agile as a whole. Previous companies? Oh boy...

Note that a solution does not (and should not) solve every problem. That does not make it bad. Very few (read: NO) solutions can solve every problem. I've known this forever, but when my company started doing outreach to customers, the

Unpopular opinion: like most frameworks, things are moving far too fast to be beneficial. I've been in the development community since the mid-late 80s, and I've been a web developer since the early 2000s, yet I still cannot keep

If 20 people give you $1,000 each totaling $20,000 and you just know you can make $50,000 by holding it for X amount of years thanks to the economic gods, what happens if your $20,000 suddenly is only worth $5,000 thanks to you having to se

let's say you have an emergency fund of 6x your monthly earnings. Instead of holding that in cash, you put that money into US treasuries at a price of 1:1. When yields rise, prices fall. Remember that. Now let's say you need to ac

by eek2121 4y ago
Uh, no? Do you know how they got into this mess to begin with? They were over-exposed to US treasuries. Let's talk about that for a moment: 1) When yields go up, treasury prices fall. 2) When yields go down, treasury prices rise. 3) Th

Accurate prediction: Job data trails rate increases by many months. So do recessions. If the fed levels off interest rates within the next year or so, we have a very good chance of avoiding a recession. I am young/old enough to remembe

AI is still not AI, still cannot pass the 'critical thinking' task. I can prove this without having ever interacted with ChatGPT. The problem with "A.I." is that it continues to only be able to take the 'almost best

AI chat bots aren't a replacement for anything. They can't innovate, only replicate.

Seems pretty spot on to me. Which part has you confused? Maybe Google Populous (game) if you don't know the title or "Dreamcast" if you don't know what that is.

So I know this comment will get buried, but I NEED to point this out. ChatGPT is built by OpenAI. OpenAI likely one of the most evil companies you will ever hear about. Look up AI Dungeon. Dig in a little bit to THAT fiasco. HINT: It was so

Honestly, the StarFive VisionFive 2 RISC-V based board is approaching, or maybe even beyond that reality. It is only slightly more expensive than the Pi 4, is almost just as fast, has way more IO options, is completely open source, and has

No, instead they reach out to Amazon to school a sweet deal directly. I think a lot of people forget that a typical retailer relationship is manufacturer => distributor => retailer. Large companies like Amazon often can (and do) negot
