Well there you go. I’m not intimately versed in the specifics. Thanks for clarifying.

Seems like definitely a CYA move. Some things seem intuitively 'right' but following that intuition isn't always necessarily the best move. But right or wrong, many folks want a CYA card, and hiring external consulting grou

Oh, he talked about it, a lot, but the only effort I ever noticed was, as you say, tariffs. Tariffs seems punitive, and when there's no other option to purchase, you import and pay the tariff anyway. The Biden push for requiring fed

In 2012, I ordered my transcripts from my university (from the 90s) and they sent me a copy. I didn't ask them to send it anywhere else. I was expecting a fee, but there wasn't any (perhaps just because I was sending it to mysel

Interesting... I have a project that was originally done in J8, and... it's still working/compiling as of a couple weeks ago, but it's not necessarily as advanced as it could have been. I think we moved to J11 a few years ag

Much/most of Java 1 will still compile, at least (FWIR). The evolutionary progress of java 1... to whatever it is now (current one I'm using is 17, but I know there's more past that) has largely been adding of new libraries&

C, Java, PHP, SQL, Python, Ruby have kept a lot of people going for more than 20 years, and will likely continue to be relevant in some capacity for at least another decade (if only maintenance, not even including new projects started with

Figures... Doesn't help folks in the US who just want small/light cars. :/. Such a shame. I routinely get north of 30mpg - careful driving, and long hauls get me north of 40mpg. That's with E85. Regular 87 octane I

EDIT: replying to my own post... The whole "then stopped"... I didn't mean I stopped running altogether. I stopped aiming to 'close the rings' every single day. A 400 day streak was too much effort to keep going.

I do some - I perhaps lump those in with 'podcasts' mentally, but yeah, sometimes I do audio books.
