I know someone who recently retired, sold his expensive home, and bought a new home in a cheaper area outright with cash. He had a fixed income that would easily cover his living expenses. He had an investment portfolio that he is planning

The H1B guys may undercut US talent, but not by nearly as much as they undercut us when they're still living overseas! Countries like India are developing a lot of talent and most companies are building strategies to hire there. If we

Use a compiled language like golang if you don't want to ship with a runtime. If you're willing to ship w/ bash then I don't understand the opposition to JS. Either tool puts you in a scenario where somebody who can exec

In part it's marketing. Lenovo doesn't want to look like one of those cheap chinese brands that just slap commodity parts into plastic shells. They do real R&D and this is one of the ways they advertise that

Evolution is way too slow to handle technology. Social media is a problem of the last 30 years or so. Barring a bubonic plague type of event, there is no mechanism for evolution on this short of a timescale

In my area, illegals tend to occupy low rent housing in rural areas, and there really aren't any shortages in that market. Mobile homes and places to put them are are readily available and reasonably affordable. Illegals make such mass

Zoning limits the density of housing. I live near an area that used to be rural, now is suburban, and zoning around here often requires more than 1 acre per house. The major developers are able to figure out how to rezone and build houses o

public housing doesn't address the root of the problem. Housing prices are insane because it's expensive and difficult to acquire and develop land. There's two primary reasons- zoning, and speculative investment that keeps go

w.r.t. forgetting CLI commands- I'd consider increasing the size of your shell history and setting up a way to fuzzy search through that history. I've been using FZF for this but am considering moving to atuin It's great to b

VSCode's command palette is a great example of this- 1. fuzzy search through different options 2. Show lots of suggestions as soon as you focus in the text box 3. have a ? or other "learn more" option available I still think
