Check out improv if that might be your jam. I was effectively in the same situation (more so, via the empty-nest syndrome). Couple that to moving to a new town and working remotely, the isolation was devastating. Improv pretty much selects

It would be amusing if it wasn't possible for them to achieve their goals, which they're now in a position to do so.

Absolutely, but the current administration is a whole new level of WTF. I've followed US politics for half a century and this feels like through the looking glass stuff.

We live in a post truth age, unfortunately. Many citizens are happy to only hew to the truth that they want, versus the "real" truth. (note the quotes -- truth is tricky). There's a bitter irony in this issue -- toppling the

I'm assuming that it's assumed that I'm slagging on Israel for some irrational hate -- I'm not. I'm commenting based upon reports that I've seen (effectively what you're referred to), not on ideology or fe

So if your wife and kids vanished the next day would the solo adventures be enough? Having gone through divorce/empty nest and working remotely it's been quite challenging to avoid depression.

Older here, equally excited. It's like programming with a team of your best buddies who are smarter than you but humble and eager to collaborate.

This is brilliant and makes me wish even more that I still lived in California -- hopefully this could extend the the entire Left Coast if there's enough payphones to warrant it.

There's plenty of money to be made mitigating this, unfortunately, there's plenty of money currently being made causing this, and those moneymakers are the ones in power and are happy to kill the planet as long as they themsel

Meta needs to feel enough pain from these suits so that it's not an acceptable cost of doing business -- they've demonstrated that's all they care about.

Ultimately yes. But every one of his enablers is complicit and should be tried if we are ever able to extricate ourselves from this mess.

This administration has taken it to a whole new level -- basically an organized crime syndicate. The system has always been corrupt in that the rich write the rules but this is pure kleptocracy. Remember that Nixon was told by his own party

One highly annoying facet of the hardware is that AND's support for the NPU under linux is currently non-existent. which abandons 50 of the 126 TOPS stated of AI capability. They seem to think that Windows support is good enough. Grrrr

The whole point of "a little copying" is when there's self-contained code that can be copypasta'd -- for situations that are appropriate.

With Go it's good to keep in mind the Proverbs, which includes this gem: A little copying is better than a little dependency.

China seems to think so. Their efforts to boost their non-carbon energy sources is going at an advanced clip, along with their advances in EVs. Not saying they're above reproach, but their energy policy certainly trumps ours.

Playbook is The Narcissist's Prayer That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it.
