Personally, I don't' think so... And, conversely, with thousands of boomers expected to retire every _day_ for the next 5+ years, I think the demand will start hitting new peaks in the next year or two.

I agree on the AI stuff ... personally, I think it's going to need 5 years or so just to iron out all the legal and regulatory stuff before the 'next big push' In general, I think you make your money in Tech at the ends.. Eit

Can't say I remember 7th grade ... but we were doing proofs in Geometry in High School. I also lived in a semi-rural US neighborhood.

oh? I haven't actually done much with all the A.I. except co-pilot. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks!

Counter take: Being 'interesting' is over rated .. At 50+, I'm actually glad how 'boring' my life has become. When I was younger, 'interesting' was generally code for drama... Now my son is grown, the bil

the one that pisses me off most is installing/configuring a software package... Top articles always end up being "apt-get install foo" and never address the configuration at all.

Thanks! I generally make the rounds every 6 months or so... But I've been building keebs for a few years now, and I gotta cut back :-P The biggest issue is it takes forever to print a shell to 'test fit' it. It would actuall

by mech422 3y ago
yeah - there's even some ocaml code for generating 'custom fit' dactyls. Problem in, the shells take hours to print and it a very finicky 'fitting' process. I stopped after like 3 'test' dactyl shells.

I actually haven't tried either of them yet... but the Voyager thumb cluster isn't adjustable, so I figured I'd like the moonlander better ? btw - I'd _really_ rather have a dactyl (especially one with a track ball) but

after having tried various splits, including the ergodox and the kinesis - I'm gonna hold out for something like (1) so I can adjust the dam thumb clusters. My thumbs are too short otherwise. It doesn't use via/qmk by defaul

WebMD’s parent company posted this (now deleted) video mocking their remote employees, threatening them to come back into the office.

Personally, I always think its best to be in first wave simply because there's less people looking... Generally, there's gonna be more then 1 wave of cuts, so the first wave gets first crack at the best openings.

I wish more keyboards had the adjustable thumb cluster like [1] Given I have a hard time reaching most of the thumb buttons, I think this adjustment would really help me. Unfortunately, its not a curved well design. 1: https://w

TLDR: not me Sounds like work was also providing your social life? (also sounds like your friends from work moved out of the area?) Perhaps joining some social organizations might help (gym, church, maker space, LUG, etc.)?

Pretty much this ^^^. Some people just want to _use_ tools and some people want to build/hack/tinker with them. Voron and Bambu seem to cover both use cases. Annex Engineering has some cool stuff in the 'build' categor

Thanks! It actually appears it requires a lot LESS energy then I expected. According to [1] less then a tonne of TNT could accelerate 1 million tonnes to 0.1 m/s !! So it appears I was WAY off base (by at least 10^6 :-P). I swear I&#

by mech422 3y ago
yeah - how do you keep it out gassing long enough to hit 0.1 m/s though? I would imagine you'd need to nuke it every couple of days or say every week to keep it out gassing long enough to generate that big a change speed? Hmm - I

Given multi-kilometer asteroids like mentioned above, I'm starting to think neither method (fragment/push) sounds viable. The amounts of energy required just seem off the scale? Maybe pushing (multiple?) smaller but still massive

by mech422 3y ago
P.P.S. Hmm - actually, if the object is that big...would we even have enough nukes/energy to break it up. Seems like either way (breakup/push) we're going to be limited by the amount of energy we can deliver compared to th

by mech422 3y ago
That seems like it would require an absolutely huge amount of matter, given what's happened after old impacts or large volcanic eruptions. Would we realistically have enough nukes/energy on hand to divert something that massive?

by mech422 3y ago
I don't understand the whole 'we don't want to break up a loose conglomeration of rock'. I'd actually think breaking an asteroid up into multiple pieces that can be 'eaten' by the atmosphere would be easi

IIRC, the comparisons were because Ruby was supposed to be a fully object oriented 'perl-like' language. Even the name was a nod to its Perl based inspiration.
