I really wanted to hear the opinion from Mac diehards about modern MacOS. I've used Windows for decades but bought a Mac M2 a while ago. I really like it so I'm not trying to say "Apple Bad". But I'm yet to see Appl

I've been reading Wolfram quite a bit lately. I'm sad for him and the family, my condolences.

I hope you get there! I made a lot of sacrifices. The one thing I'll say is to have the projects lined up. Don't leave the figuring out for after you stop working for others.

Thank you! Health Insurance is certainly the big one. It took me a while to save for that. There are some ways explained by the FIRE community to reduce the amount you pay through the subsidies, but these could vanish at any time so you hav

I bailed out at 50 while fully employed and making a ton of money in big tech - I was not laid off, I simply let my manager know, found a replacement and walked away. I have kids but I saved enough for healthcare, housing etc. I worked my a

That's the one reason I don't use Steam. I'm not saying Valve is evil or anything like that. But GOG's transparency and commitment to DRM-free games should be the market standard.

The problem isn't as much understanding what the code does (that's hard but not impossible), but understanding why that duplicate INSERT into the database is needed. The guy who no longer works at the company knew it was because o

What I'm trying to understand is why Toyotas can still make great cars at prices comparable, if not inferior, to Germany's (at least here in the US). There's a quality gap there. I don't understand why German cars used t

I'd like better understand the German engineering culture. Why was it special in the past? What about today? As a kid in the 80s, I had some things from Germany and their quality was astounding. Fast forward to present time, our Volksw

In most cases where I needed higher precision, I just went to fixed point... There are also free libraries with arbitrary precision (although at a significant performance hit).

I can't keep track of these claims. I thought they were saying that Americans were the ones leaving the US to be free and prosper in Canada. What happened with that?

I think we need a new term for articles like this... "Human slop". Poorly structured, keeps going in circles, wordy... the type of thing I'd write in high school. But the author says he's an adult now, so we can't g

Seeing a solved problem and verifying the solution's correctness is much easier than solving the problem yourself. it's a bit like riddles. You can find examples of that when studying any topic. I disagree that reviewing code is h

I don't generally use AI to write code I feel I can write efficiently. In these cases, I'll just ask AI for a review. But when I need to write code in areas I'm less confident about, I'll let AI take the reins and the do

A lot of people here seem to be living in a different universe than me or simply don't know how to work with AI. I think detractors believe you should just let AI do the job blindly instead of leveraging it as a tool to accelerate you.

Some younger folks seem to be into all sorts of classic tech these days, like vynil, mechanical keyboards and terminal emulators. But I'm yet to see people giving old modems are try... Probably because there is nothing waiting for them

Soon we'll need to call Roger Wilco to take care of all this junk.

I know the feeling but only people in our community care about how the software sausage is made. The customer only cares about results and it's great that AI can deliver results quickly. What I'm still waiting to see is evidence o

Probably the Westerner with better shoes, clothes, energy bars, hydration drinks, sunscreen etc. The only caveat since you said "random" is obesity.

I agree. These skills apply to interacting with any coworker, or any person for that matter.

This movie achieved what a thousand critics can't: get my teenage children to sit through 3 hours of classical culture. My family loved it, kudos to Nolan again for making intelligent movies people want to watch.

Remember: your coworkers aren't your family, your boss isn't your buddy and HR isn't on your side.

I have nothing to say about this company's long term potential, but I'm curious to know whether this will become an enormous "tik stok" like SK Hynix became in South Korea. I've watched a short documentary about the

The companies you listed have great synergy with Google's core business. What's Google's play with SpaceX? Data centers in space?

Has Apple built the part everybody wants? I'm a Mac used and I'm yet to see it. Instead I got transparent buttons I didn't ask for.

Your short post speaks of exactly what people should be talking about. Due to the panic related to job replacement, not many are talking about the new frontiers. Vibe coding is boring because it does the same faster/cheaper. I'm m

Messages like this in the training data are how LLMs learn to say absurd things with total confidence.

What you just wrote isn't a moat at all. One is marketing, the other is a find/replace. A "moat" is something that protects your product that is really hard to overcome. Like a migrating your database to another vendor,

The cards are telling me to buy SpaceX today. I'll let you know how that turns out.
