I think I've seen 2 initiatives to move off of AS/400 to a something else in my lifetime and neither one completed. One was at a bank another at an insurance company. Not to mention that a typical COBOL programmer is more interest

Calling everything a "bubble" without identifying where capital would rationally go instead is lazy analysis. I've been an investor for 15 years and every single year someone screams we're in a bubble. It never ends

I never run into stability issues and couldn't care less about telemetry which feels like admitting some kind of a sin on HN. Windows 11 is fine and Linux will always be for niche use cases.

Is this a new trend in phishing emails? They appear to be using legitimate domains to bypass spam detection. Usually the domains are associated with legitimate companies who are completely oblivious. I always wondered how this works. Is it

Hiring slowed to a crawl back in 2023. A nice smack in the face after the "Great Resignation" period.

According to this study from 2005 [1] the Appalachians are eroding 6 meters per 1 million years while the rivers are incising 30-100 meters per same time period. So they're technically still becoming more rugged. [1] https:/&#x2F

About a decade ago I walked El Camino de Santiago. On the very last day I had to catch a bus from Santiago de Compostela to the local airport to get on the flight to Madrid and head back home. I remember standing with my backpack on some ra

It's pretty incredible to see how public data puts this corruption out in the open with specific names at hand and these officials couldn't care any less. The level of corruption here is astronomically brazen. They know no one wil

This looks great and it's nice to see development in this space! However, the "big box" alternatives for this which keep your accounts in sync are really cheap (I think I renewed my annual Quicken Simplify for $40) and, for t

Every time I talk acquaintances, friends and family members about finances I'm always shocked at how little people know about basic things like tax brackets, 401Ks, IRAs, ETFs, compounding interest, debt management and etc. So I decide

UTI almost always causes delirium in the elderly. Those with dementia go completely off the rails. When my grandma had UTI she was basically in a parallel dimension talking to her deceased parents and that kind of thing.

If Elon leaves, Tesla is cooked. Tesla nosedives every time his focus is on something else which is what's happened since he purchased Twitter, became a political activist and then left to work with Trump. The only reason Tesla trades

I did not do the northern route which I hear has spectacular views. I did the "French way" which I liked so much I did it again in 2017, however, it ended up being a completely different experience than the one I had the first tim

I walked about 15 miles every day while hiking El Camino de Santiago. I lost around 50 pounds which would probably be unhealthy under any other conditions but I've never felt better and kept the weight off for years after.
