Certainly. I made friends from those days that I still hang out with today, and who made me reconsider whether or not I'd ever join one of those organizations. But I was speaking in sweeping generalities that represent my own experienc

It wouldn't have. The culture of the organization (and by proxy the culture across all of those organizations -- including allied/FiveEyes nations) is seen as one of its greatest assets, and they go to great lengths to preserve th

This is not true. One of my friends and myself have both paid for registration of different .app domains and some ten hours later it still says pending at two different vendors listed there as EAP providers.

Just my opinion, but virtually every person I've ever met working in "State Department" operations is some breed of unlikable. "Shallow ... and full of shit" (with an enormous ego) could be a one-liner describing a

Nice! At first blush, the TLS PR looks pretty good. It's not just shimmed in there like it could be (for example if I'd have written it haha). I've always appreciated Redis for having generally excellent code quality over the

Right. This is important and it's pretty obvious that a lot of guys just put zero effort into presenting themselves in a positive way. I went through my entire twenties living like some kind of goblin. The rules are things that every

Hmm. Tinder and Bumble both absolutely work. I'm kinda old, but I've used them and two of my best friends have used them, and we've all had pretty great success achieving our goals through the apps. I would definitely say tha

Ah, well... Consider this a winning lottery ticket that I didn't pull the trigger on. Could have joined pretty early.

It lumps them together in the same breath, obviously hoping to draw an equivalence in the minds of readers in order to make their preposterous proposition less offensive. Wielding identity politics as a means of creating marketing buzz is f

I should preface this by saying this isn't directed at the parent I'm replying to. It's just the point where I couldn't read anymore without posting. What is offensive is Stack Overflow using this obsequious, cloying, pa

Oh, you know, that's interesting. I hadn't even thought about talk radio, but you're absolutely right.

I have been writing my own trading bots for about three years or so, maybe a little less, all told. But exclusively on crypto exchanges. I think most people familiar with crypto could see the latest bubble for what it was, but I did manage

Ah, I apologize, I didn't keep notes or save links or anything of the sort, and I keep kicking myself for it. I'm usually pretty good about taking notes just out of my regular habit of doing research, but it was so casual, and I d

I personally think this is simply a result of how much harder the media is pushing that divide (for all of their various purposes). I actually spent some time last year researching this, because I thought I might have just become an old man

Oh, yes, SO's hot network questions is a hardcore distraction for me, too. Even for things I really don't care about! Like all those workplace drama questions (do so many people really think going to HR is going to do them any g

That preview window has been a lifesaver. Honestly, as someone with ADD (or ADHD or whatever it's called these days), Wikipedia is a fucking minefield. I regularly have many Wikipedia articles open in sometimes ten or twenty different

I was pulling a number out of a hat to make a point. But you should know that nobody has a crystal ball. Before 2008, institutional investors were saying they were prepared for "apocalyptic" losses of 10 to 15% of the housing mark

I understand viscerally this comment about something becoming a source of stress. Actually a couple of apps have done this to me in the past, and I immediately reject them (by uninstalling them) when I recognize that the app is using the an

Okay, but let's look at it this way: What do you suggest we do when fifty percent of the US workforce is no longer employed because of clever kinds of automation that smart folks like you and I personally weren't able to predict

by fapjacks 9y ago
Yes, I'm right there with you, and the cool part about our jobs being automated away -- besides not having to write all that boilerplate -- is that when the automation takes a steaming shit, we get to be heroes. I'm fine with this

I don't know why you're being downvoted. I'm not a good fit for most labels so I've got quite a varied social network, and I've been pushing the idea of UBI out to them to gauge what folks think. It's approxima
