I am still looking for a simple tool to deduplicate, organize, and tag all the photos I have accumulated over the years. Old laptop hard drives, old cell phones, iPhoto libraries, aperture libraries, etc. I want to dump them into a staging

Edit: also, if you have $500k liquid you could invest it in something like QYLD and draw roughly $5k/mo and try taking a sabbatical for a year.

I think this is a pretty normal feeling to have. For myself it was a fine line between “accepting reality” and actual depression. Getting older and realizing half of your life is behind you is not the most uplifting topic. So that would be

Why do they need the government to do this? Just ban them from your particular business and move on. It’s their right as a business to deny service. Every day we are inching closer to a Chinese style centrally managed social credit system.

These are so disingenuous. It’s like comparing aggregate schooling scores between the US and some Scandinavian country and concluding that every kid in America gets a worse education. False. If you were to constrain for home life (two paren

I worked in cyber security at a major industrial company for 5 years. Yes “insider threat” is a very real concern and people get busted exfiltrating company data all the time.

Spending a few weeks on exploratory or speculative work is not really a huge time commitment. If it was going to drag on for months I would question it. I also challenge the “deliver in small PRs” idea. Yes in practice that would be ideal.

I hope they stick to it. It takes a long time to put down roots. People were dismissive of intellij and jetbrains, but look at them now.

The worst offenders in recent memory are self driving cars, block chain, VR, and “the metaverse”.

It’s baffling that people have such a persistent and romantic fascination with regressive technology. Why enjoy whole home climate control when you can dress up like Nanook of the North while indoors and sit on hot water bottles? Why is the

It’s not a conspiracy theory. The number of reports to VAERS, which is the best data we have on population wide side effects, has been growing rapidly. To be fair it will be very hard to tease out strong evidence from that data set, but dir

It’s incredible how quickly pharmaceutical companies rehabbed their deservedly awful reputation by using the pandemic. Years from now, maybe decades, I’m sure we will find out there were very troubling results from the clinical trials that

I think the absolute glut of new music available makes it hard for me to seek out and find new artists. Even with the help of spotify and pandora. Also driving to and from work was where I sampled a lot of new music, and that has gone away

It could be that. Or it could be the lax prosecution of property crimes.

No not really. I’m ready for the government and everybody else to move on from this whole debacle.

Having seen how bastion hosts or “jump boxes” work inside the enterprise I share your view. In practice they are generally not very well protected and are a very attractive target for attackers. It’s better to use a privileged session manag

They did the same thing with the Lexus LFA. They just bought the cars in the name of a business and sold the business. Problem solved for the flippers. I think the best solution is to allow dealers to sell them at MSRP and select buyers via

Nevermind that. When pharma is buying up 50% or more of the ad time during your news programs how can you be expected to accurately cover stories involving them?

I am wondering if they weren’t covered in wax or some other water barrier. Or perhaps the protective disc was welded at the seams. Seems unlikely given the era and the extra expense involved. It also mentions that they were known to fail, s

I worked on a Ruby gem to add group_by and aggregate_by functions to collections/enumerables. I finished about 1/2 of the functionality and found the implementation to be hateful and thought it would be received poorly. Now seeing

Thank you for this response. I completely agree and get tired of the reddit tier “lol just pay more” hot takes. I think if paying more were the solution the labor shortage would be over quite quickly. Around where I live wages have not only

Not sure how it is now, but back then it was “last in wins”. There were tons of sites that claimed to have coupons, discounts, etc. In reality all they had were the same affiliate links that I did. And they were very successful at tricking

My own narrative and the accuracy or correctness of it was something that I thought about frequently. Then I had a child. It really helped put my experiences and my actions into context. I now find myself thinking more about the narrative o

Some got fired. Some quit and found different, better paying jobs. The reality is that being on staff, working at the bedside in a hospital is a hard job with mediocre pay. But hospitals will give docs huge bonuses and pay travel nurses 2-3

It is incredibly worse than it used to be. They hate organic content that is not under their control. Think forums, blogs, etc. you have to add stuff to your query to get it to bubble the organic content to the top. The worst is when you ar

People would probably suggest regulation or taxes to “fix” the problem but I think the root of the issue is artificially low interest rates, freewheeling lenders (again), and the fact that there are few other places to deploy your money and
