I worked for geocities as a front end person back then. We got to work on some cool javascript stuff for the page builder app that was really pretty far ahead for its time. I got into trouble for bringing a laptop with suse linux on it into

It's actually unfortunately normal and healthy to have extreme anxiety when you have no workers rights and its hard to replace a job. As working people we are forced to live with unprecedented levels of uncertainty. Life can be extreme

Yeah it's going to be harder to find another job once you are laid off. Also unemployment tops out at 940 a month can you pay your rent on 900 a month, unemployment hasn't been increased here since 1976 being laid off is a disaste

I doubt Trump will touch the H1B, if you read his 100 point plan, he makes it pretty explicit that he is in favor of the H1B. But he wants to make it hard to get a green card, so even if he is in favor of the H1B he may kill it accidentally

They will leave the US before they start a war or try to force a california sucession. Ireland could become the next Silicon Valley it may change from Silicon Valley to Technology Island. It would be cheaper for them to pay for their divers

I took a look at his economic plan. He seems to want to do everything at the same time, if hid campaign was a startup it would never be funded you can't present 3 bullet points as a pitch deck.

From the pro audio side of things Bitwig is a game changer, I can actually run bitwig and renoise on my asus chromebox running crouton on an sd card and it all runs shockingly well considering I spent less than $200 for this device.

The UC system stopped serving students way back in 1992, I was there, when I went to UCI in 1990 the tuition was 500 a year, by the time I graduated in 1994 the tuition was up to 17k a year. At this point things have degraded so badly there

Being able to create microtonal scales is the attraction here for me, most synths whether they're digital or analog lock you into standard western scale tuning.

Ironically back in the 80s it cost around $75/year for UC. I went to UC in 1990, say tuition go from $375/year to $20,000/year by 1995. The changes Bush and Clinton made in the 90s enabled this situation where schools on the
