Static analysis was pretty limited imho. It wasn't finding anything that interesting. I spent untold hours trying to satisfy SonarQube in 2021 & 2022. It was total shit busy work they stuck me with because all our APIs had to ha

I think FIRE was basically just a fad for awhile. I say this as a 52 year old "retiree" who isn't working right now and living off investment income. It takes a shitload of wealth to not have to work and I'm borderline

You aren't wrong and I agree up to a point. But I've watched a couple of people try to get by on just "cutting" rather than growing their incomes and it doesn't work out for them. A former neighbor was a real Dave

I cringe every time some youngster suggests we go down the socialist/communist path because none of them have any real-life experience with how bad Eastern Europe was! Here's a hint: It's was fucking beyond belief horrible-

Starting? The Millenials are in their 40s! You'd better be well into raising kids by your 40s.

59 is really early Gen-X. The Boomers are all in their 60s and 70s now. They're downsizing.

New car prices are now simply outrageous. Auto makers need to start ditching features and get their unit costs back down.

I hate it when Trump or whoever touts all the jobs created because I'm sure most of those jobs are of the low-wage variety and aren't really helping anyone. It doesn't matter if a bunch of part-time, crap jobs get created wh

You make it sound like only "right wing" people are idiots being fooled when I honestly doubt most right wingers in the US even have time for X or most crap like this mainly because they are busy working, raising families, and liv

You really need to be connected and have resources to succeed or the machinery will eat you alive.

My grandfather was similar--he was the first one to leave the farm life and tried several different careers and businesses. He worked for a railroad, was a realtor, owned a lumber yard, and lastly owned a delicatessen. The lumber yard near

I get what you are saying. How much experience do you have with financial bubbles? I was working when the dot-com bubble burst. I also have firsthand experience with the real estate/bond market implosion. This current one has all t

Crypto is another cul-de-sac that is about to go belly up.

Increasing electricity prices are going to be its undoing. AI is an environmental disaster in multiple directions. What will we do with all the compute? Landfills, just like all other e-waste. It's never getting repurposed. I alrea

It's not waste, it's a way to get rid of excess liquidity caused by massive money printing operations.

Everyone who lives in the show belt understands that unless a self driving car can navigate icy, snow-covered roads better than humans can, it's a non-starter. And the car can't just "pull over because it's too dangero

What exactly are they doing? I've seen a lot of hype but not much real change. It's like a different way to google for answers and some code generation tossed in, but it's not like LLMs are folding my laundry or mowing my

I don't think so about the gpus. It's a sunk cost that won't be repurposed easily--just look at what happened to Nortel. Did all those PBXs get repurposed? Nope--trash. Those data centers are going to eat it hard, that&#x

I'm skeptical just because I know someone who has been working on the problem of radioactivity for like 30 years and they have left no stone unturned in that undertaking.

I'm not troubled by porn or my kids seeing it. If anything, I advocate healthy sex lives for my kids once they are of age because there is some kind of massive Puritanism push going on that looks to be the end of the human race--look

In my opinion, the government never had the authority to restrict access to online content in the first place. That authority was seized from us and more and more countries are falling into the black hole of censorship. It's the Sata

It's more likely we get some kind of new tech that works even better than a VPN but is totally deniable as far as it being used at all. A more stealthy VPN. I have advocated for Internet privacy for decades now, mostly to deaf ears.

I don't see Trump doing this or his Administration. For the first time in years I'm actually not worried about the FBI and what dastardly political maneuverings they are up to. The CIA is still probably pretty bad. Yes, there a

It's not about parents failing to do their jobs, it is about heavy handed big government wanting to step even further into our lives using our own technology.

Everything about the exercise of power in the digital world is tilted away from the individual. Windows 11 moved all my files into the cloud without even asking me! I was livid--those are documents that I deliberately DID NOT WANT in the c

The problem for me is that I can't eat a lot of rice due to digestive issues with it--it just backs me up like glue even when I drink tons of water. I don't think rice is a very good type of food, honestly. Beans are fine, good

My family and I ate at one this evening. My son wanted to try to the McRib. I'm not sure he loved it, but it looked fine. My wife and I both had the $5 McValue meal, and we got a free medium fry because it was Friday. We shared one

It hurts me so bad to have to say this (as someone who has been a life-long technologist with higher degrees in CS and CE): Pushing kids towards STEM careers is only going to end in disappointment. Medicine, sure, but engineering and prog
