Share your concerns. You're an intern, so unless the process is entirely automated with zero chance of failure, your supervisor is a goddamn maniac for leaving you to handle it. You're not trained, you're not paid enough to a

Tithing, it's called in Christianity. You give ten percent of your income (in theory) to the church. This is what's known outside of the religious sphere as "grifting". :-D

"It’s a funny coincidence that the field where we’re seeing the most innovation happens to be the one we regulated least, and that the fields that got worse are the most regulated ones." Man, you almost got it here. Let me rephras

I've played with them a bit. I understand at least a lot of the science behind it, and the tech is interesting, but what people seem to want to do with it is kind of boring to me. I've been working with generative art for a long t

I'm gonna agree with qikInNdOutReply here: you work for a laundromat. If this has happened multiple times, it's entirely possible that all of the VCs involved are aware of it, and are in fact getting their money's worth. :-)

A strange and beautiful place. I was last there in 2007, I think it was, but I first visited as a kid in 1987. Cappadocia is one of my favorite places on earth. <3

I'm in the same boat, but even older than you with 25 years in. I just hate everything except the actual coding - I hate devops, always have. I hate having to learn new frameworks every six months and having the fundamental stuff I lea

I would import box fans into the UK, because they don't have them here. Dead serious. I'm a coder, but that is the most immediately profitable and useful business I can think of that could be successful for $100K. If I have to exp

It's a good thing human relationships are entirely based around increasing efficiency, or this sort of thing would come off as sad and off-putting.

I'm a native English speaker, but I'm from Texas, and as a kid I tended to talk really fast and mumble: if you've ever seen the show King Of the Hill, I talked like Boomhauer. I deliberately trained myself to speak with a neu

Daniel Shiffman has amazing resources for Processing that apply to any language/environment. He practically invented half of the stuff out there. Jared Tarbell (who was involved with the founding of Etsy) is also a great generative art

I think within a decade most of us will be eating whatever calories are in front of us and glad to have them. Especially as, like most of the cornerstones of modern civilization, the way we eat now is mathematically unsustainable.

Lost me at "Also, keep in mind I care about the environment but I don’t drink the Kool-aid." Even in September of 2021, that was a fatuous and stupid remark that tells me this is another "Erm, actually...." theorist who

As everyone tends to use different apps for messaging, I wish there was some sort of universal way to add contacts from any app to an "Always Send Notifications When These People Contact Me But Nobody Else" list. Like, I can mute

I've disabled them on everything but my phone as much as possible. My IPad Pro has none, my MacBook has the bare minimum the system will allow, and my phone only has them for messaging, email and time-sensitive stuff (like food or Amaz

And now I live in England, where a loud report really is a car backfiring. It has its problems, but I'm not likely to get shot or go bankrupt from a hospital bill.

Me too. I wasn't at the October First shooting in Vegas, but I was not far away and I helped take food and stuff to first responders and hospital staff in the trauma ward after. Watching people call that a "false flag" was co

Many of them. A heart attack followed by open heart surgery on the day the coronavirus was officially declared a pandemic was one of them. Having the parent company of my online music store fail was another. You can always find these moment

I have been coding professionally for over 25 years, and I hate the industry with a passion. I hate the culture of it, the obsession with couching naked capitalist greed in semi-spiritual terms, the inflation of the trivial into the profoun

Apparently I'm just shy of being fugly and look seven years younger than I am. Which is kind of damning with faint praise, but in a dark room when I'm barely awake? I'll take it.

I am exactly in the same boat, except I live in the UK with my British spouse (I'm American). I've been slowly rebuilding myself after heart surgery, trying to build up my physical stamina, getting therapy for depression, and lear

Oh, man. So almost a decade ago I'm in Kampala, Uganda, staying in Muyenga, a neighborhood on the hillside above Lake Victoria. I've bought an adungu, a local instrument that's a sort of harp shaped like a sailboat. I bring i

I have all the pains of a sedentary life spent huddled over a keyboard - heart attacks, slipped discs, all of it. I now walk at least an hour every day if I can and three hour extended rambles on weekends, and I'm losing weight, in les
