Apologies for my earlier response being curt - I totally get it.

Tangential, but I don't want to use LLMs for writing code because it's one of the things I enjoy the most in life, but it's feeling that I'm going to need to have to to get ready for the next years of my career. I'v

Maybe pedantic, but the US as a whole didn't vote for it in the 2016 election. Clinton won the popular vote in 2016, but Trump had more electoral votes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidentia.

I'd argue that having it in a Docker container is much easier to integrate with the rest of many people's infra. On ECS, K8s, or similar? Docker is such an easy layer to slap on and it'll fit in easily in that situation. Are

I know they started on MacOS and their Linux support is relatively new, so I wonder if that "fastest" label is really only applicable to MacOS currently.

I'm confused by your comment. It seems like you didn't really provide a retort to the parent's comment about bad architecture and abstraction from LLMs. FWIW, I think you're probably right that we need to adapt, but ther

It seems pretty standard for tech companies. They did the same thing with EU only side-loading (not even sure if that's the right term for how restricted it is). They'll only make changes where they need to, whether it's the

Oh interesting. I guess I only follow the fund purchase flow on the website once and a while and everything else is automated, so I don't end up using the site as much. Probably makes me a not-so-great testimonial in hindsight.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that Jack is a pretty common nickname for John, at least based on the John/Jacks I've met in my life.

I actually like their revamp a lot (last few years?). They have a million subdomains they send you around which is weird, but I don't mind the current UI. Sometimes they still send you to an old page though, like for scheduled investme

As children of the depression, where did your grandparents get the knowledge to invest in the market? From what I've seen, lots of people weren't keen on the market after growing up through the depression. Good on your grandparent

Jack Bogle probably did more for the average American investor than anyone else in history (maybe barring economic policy or something). His book [0] on the history of Vanguard, it's founding, and their growth is just a fantastic read.

The Fit is a wonderful car. I'd buy one if I could find one for a decent price, but 40k miles 2020 (last year for them in the US) still runs around $20k at dealers and Carvana! For five grand more, I can get a brand new Corolla Hatchba

+1 to Sipser. Excellent book. I'm not sure there's any real competition for CS Theory out there.

Aside from the privacy nightmare, what about someone who is 18 and just doesn't have the traditional adult facial features? Same thing for someone who's 15 and hit puberty early? I can imagine that on the edges, it becomes really

Absolutely - I only buy physical for Nintendo. Seems like they’re going to be attempting to make a move away from that from what I’ve heard. Something about physical boxes just having download codes instead of a cart for some Switch 2 games

As a long time Nintendo fan, I've always joked with my friends that the people who design the games are incredibly talented and passionate, and the people that run the business throws all of that good will alone. They've had the w

Not that it’s the point of what you’re saying, but at 300k, a 15k yearly payout would be 5%. I'm almost certain that no-one would ever give a 5% inflation adjusted annuity to an 18 year old for 300k. All that to say that the value you

Isn’t this what FedNow is for in the US? Genuinely curious since I feel like transfers still take days. My assumption is that it’s not fully adopted yet, but my understanding is that the US is in the process of adopting this. https:/&

You’re objectively correct in a business context, which is what most software is for. For me, seeing AI slop code more and more is just sad from a craft perspective. Software that’s well designed and architected is a pleasure to read and wr

From the people in my life who talked about their preference for this administration, the economy was the core reason I heard. Specifically interest rates, but ignoring that that’s the federal reserve and the president has no impact on that

I’m personally cool with Wikimedia doing whatever they want with their notations since it’s public and everything, but the donation banners definitely lead you to believe that it goes directly towards hosting if you don’t dive in.

Stealth and rescue can go hand and hand, no? I guess stating “rescue” still may bury the lead in that case.
