I wouldn’t make a comparison to nazi Germany, that’s a bit cheap. A more accurate point is that they are trying to build industry in an active war zone. Yeah, good luck.

Similarly, just because you can change your oil that doesn’t make you a mechanic. Making a one off program to solve a problem doesn’t warrant the title necessarily. Not that the title matters, though.

I had this same thought after reading that line. I started thinking about where the complexity should live, if not with the developers. My conclusion is that it should live with whoever has the most 'skin in the game,' or the larg

Words of warning for anyone choosing to dabble in the cryptocurrency space - anything that you “have” on an exchange account is owned by the owner of the exchange, not you. This is because whoever knows the private key to a crypto wallet is

Just recently I was thinking about the expression “Early bird gets the worm.” First off, who even likes to eat worms? Gross. What’s the corollary for night owls? “Night owl gets the rat?” I don’t want to eat rats either. And what type of bi

It’s a matter of control. You have practically zero direct control over the vendor provided service because you are too small for them to care. If you control the system on-prem, you can at least attempt to fix it by hiring someone able to

If meetup is the bar they will probably do fine. I’m not sure if you used it recently but meetup has become an absolute spam fest/useless for actually organizing events (in my experience). At one point it was great but I think it’s los

Google search was great back in the day! It’s a shame what it’s become, but nothing lasts forever.

This is a great option. Even though I do have decent insurance I would consider this just to avoid dealing with insurance at all

Controversial, but we can look at this as a good thing. If your entire job is simple enough for a robot to do that job shouldn’t be filled by a human. However, the human should receive a decent standard of living, regardless of their employ

I think it will devalue visual art the same way photography has devalued photorealistic paintings It’s simply a new tool for artists to create art with. It will change art but I doubt it will destroy art. Like you said, a new form of art wi

This is a well written, in depth analysis of the system. Why do you think the packets are encrypted?

I live in a major metro city and wfh. I found an apartment with thick walls in a quiet yet walkable neighborhood. Maybe I was lucky.

You may be thinking of pre twitch/YouTube. These players sell out coliseums for $100s of dollars per ticket. The fans want to at least physically see them play, even if it’s through a window. once you rely on webcams then you may as we

Your links may be broken I was recently looking for a static site generator for a local relay race I help organize and django-distill was the top of my list. I ended up writing my own SSG because I had very little HTML that actually had to

It's not perpetuating stereotypes, it's showing that these stereotypes exist in society. Similar to how a comedian might point out the absurdity of racism by writing and delivering a joke about race. Or how a child might ask why p

Sometimes I don’t need to do “serious audio editing” with audacity. I need to trim a clip or something. I can’t think of a reason why I SHOULDNT be able to do that on my phone that has more processing power than most computers a decade ago

I agree with “files over apps.” I used google docs for my personal notes until one day I had shoddy internet and realized how awful it is to lose access to something important that you wrote down. I now use iA Writer which allows you to sav

Have you dabbled with plain text accounting systems at all? They seem like the next step after spreadsheets because ease of version control and pipelines to/from.
