It's because software developers smell the disruption. We've automated lord knows how many people out of their jobs. We're apparently not immune either. Frankly, no/low-code is more of a threat IMO, but copilot is eerie.

Follow the pay. Everyone I knew in EECS flipped to the CS route because software salaries are so damn high. Electronics became a low margin commodity business, software somehow hasn't. And somehow the software industry has enough reven

I'm going to posit the closest modern analogue to coal is not wind and solar but rather nuclear. People hear nuclear and immediately think "no thanks" despite it solving energy scarcity and cleanliness in one shot.

I'm going to emphasize this as well. Everything is an object, and everything called on an object is a method. Full stop. Unlike with other languages, there is no ambiguity here. In python, you don't know when you dir() an object w

Ruby's imports aren't magical by default. Autoloading frameworks make them so.

Pip doesn't do dependency resolution either... I spent a day trying to pin down issues migrating a project from pipenv to poetry because poetry did not agree with pipenvs resolution.

This is a price signal. Anyone who's calling for intervention needs to wake up. The proper response is for people to leave . If you drive across America, you'll find economically, depressed areas which have suffered from brain dr

Remember, every single shiller is selling you their product. A few additional thoughts: > Gold and crypto protect against inflation. No insurance policy pays when the house is already on fire. > Bonds should be 20-40 percent of a port

Here's the title of the posted video: "Skaters Mob on High Tech Surveillance Car in San Francisco" Meanwhile, its posted on Instagram[0]... and in the video you see a bajillion phones out recording the event. Oh the irony...

I think you are entirely misunderstanding what Krugman is saying. * The aim is to avoid a deflationary collapse, not to cut wages.* Let's say you have a typical economic cycle in an apple producing economy with real growth and a fixed

Or if they've run off (not saying they have). With a traditional account, a court could force the bank to transfer assets. Unless there is a third-party custodian of the accounts, there is no recourse. Not your keys, not your coins aft

It's crypto. It's not like the assets are sitting in traditional accounts that can be force liquidated by court order. SEC? Lol. If these guys have run off (reading the article it doesn't seem like it), the lenders are screwe

Equating shitcoin pumping to central banking is hilariously absurd. While I do agree that central banking has gone too far, central bankers--at least in developed countries--are not on some blatant mission to rob people of money for their o
