What's the AR equivalent of a 'fart app'?

Perhaps a Tkinter replacement, eh?

Watching everyone around me go insane actually made me less of a hypochondriac.

I used to spend a lot of my spare time on side projects, thinking I'd hit on something successful eventually. Now, I'm in my 40s and I'm like "Done with work; I think I'll go for a walk and then take a nap."

The ultimate answer here is to make tax preparation services unnecessary for the vast majority of folks by simplifying the tax code. My first one or two tax filings were on a 1040EZ back when I was a single college student working a single

> They already know how much I need to pay them/how much they owe me. This is not true in regards to the US Tax code. There's a reason the tax preparation industry is so large in this country.

On the upside, if the tax-preparation industry is destroyed or severely diminished, it would make it easier to reform/simplify the tax code at a later date should a future government be so inclined. On the downside... no way would I us

Yep. I live in Alaska and my doc checks vitamin D levels as a routine part of my annual physical.

Had a professor in college circa 2000, that had a NEXTstation in his office that he still used everyday. Around this same time, the college purged the UNIX lab of proprietary UNIX boxen (mostly Suns, IIRC, though they kept a few SGIs aroun

This. It's hard to manage a dozen services with only 1-2 devs - especially considering you're solving a problem you don't have yet, and by the time you do, you'll have more devs to handle/justify the complexity.

Up here in Alaska, land can be had very cheap (but construction costs are high), particularly if you don't care to be on the road system.

Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better to buy some cheap land and throw up a yurt (or maybe a Quonset hut if you're more fancy), rather than take on a 30-year mortgage.

I use chromium for work/dev. Brave for personal stuff (including on my phone). It's actually been a while since I've used Firefox.

The licensing was the biggest thing hurting Datomic adoption. This is a smart (albeit late) move.

When I moved to Alaska, in my early 40s, with a license in-hand from the state I had just moved from, they made me take a written test before issuing me an AK license. At least they didn't make me take a road test. Weirdos.

Yea, I used to maintain a fairly complicated emacs config that I was never quite happy with. Nowadays, I just go with spacemacs. Tired of messing with stuff :)

I recently moved from a crowded suburb to a rural 2.5 acre lot up in Alaska. If I'm going to be isolated regardless, might as well have some space :)

I remember downloading Slackware floppy images from a local BBS the first time I wanted to try Linux. Good times.

Up here in Alaska, heating your house with electricity would be asinine if you have any other option.

There are still plenty of devs who just spin up mysql (rather than mariadb) without thinking about it when starting a new project. Because that's what they always do.

> FWIW, macs are high quality and last a long time. In my experience, this was true during the 68k and PPC days, but after the x64 transition quality went downhill, fast.

The ARM chips had me seriously considering a mac for the first time in years. I was seriously thinking about an M2 MBA or 13" MBP - but the price to get either of those (or really any Mac) outfitted with a decent amount of RAM is obsc

Tech companies have either a sales culture or an engineering culture. As a new employee, you usually figure out which your new company has by the end of the first day. A lot of companies start with an engineering culture and transition out

Newer vehicles with adaptive cruise control and lane keeping can get you into trouble w/ dozing off (the vehicle can keep going for a while before veering off the side of the road). My '21 F-150 complains if I take my hands off t
