Irrelevant? I was under the impression cord cutting is pretty common. If you want to watch live sports or the news, you need CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX. We use a MoHu antenna in the attic.

Rode the metro for 7 years. Feel like an idiot that I never noticed the waffle and arch designs had so many variations. Looks like my typical stations were either Waffle or Arch 1. Never know Wheaton and Forest Glen had separate tubes.

The tricky part is which total market index funds? The S&P based ones are too AI focused, and don't give you the diversification they once did. You also don't want to invest in just one countries stock market. And bonds, sh

Agree, that advice seems to be targeting folks who have had a 401K since they were 22. Also, I think it is basically saying the point where you start adjusting your stock/bond ratio down. At 40, maybe you have 80% in stocks, and change

I have the Forrunner 955, and also love it. It has actual push buttons all the features I need in one watch with the running, biking, swim, golf, and hiking modes.

The conjecture seems to assume the monopolist won't be patient enough, and will be "tempted" to drop the price to "mop up" extra customers. Yet it also assumes the consumers will be the patient ones, and will wait f

> selling a device to play pirated music. Am I the only one here who legit purchased MP3s downloads for 99 cents off Amazon? (This was the era after Napster stopped working.)

The magnesium deficiency would probably still exist if you removed the stressful job. Unfortunately switching jobs or careers is not an option in this current job market.

If scrollheight is not a performant property, than it shouldn't be a property. It should have been a method called calculateScrollHeight() or something to indicate that it is not cheap.

Before LLMs we didn't have time for code quality. LLMs make our jobs faster, so now we have time to dedicate to code quality, right?

Wonder if he has Hashimoto's, an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid, causing hypothyroidism. The hypothyroidism lowers stomach acid, impairing iron absorption. Sounds similar to what is being described.

Wish it was that easy. Unfortunately for many of us, our job is more about navigating roadblocks like ZScaler, negotiating with security people, and figuring out work-arounds, rather than focusing on developing software. Our bosses tell us

I like the new collection expression: var filters = ["active", "paid", ..premiumFilters, "export"]; As for the rest of the examples, I would rather stick with the old way. Sometimes new syntactic sugar tech

Assessment should probably a mix of all of the various forms: handwritten blue book, verbal, multiple choice, and AI assisted essay. It really depends on what is being asssesed.

The map in hotels.com does a good job of clustering. For example, searching for hotels in a high density area like NYC. Airbnb, conversely, does not seem to have any clustering. Properties vanish and reappear at various zoom levels.

Agree, but they are very good at playing music. They are still useful even if the don't do anything else, just like a microwave just needs to cook food.

Agreed, but I am also against government selling public land, since we have so few parks and public spaces. It is much harder to buy it back later.
