It seems like you're just trying to get people to check out your homework helper app. In the future you should just transparently post this as a "Show HN".

Literally any recently made desktop machine with a 64 core processor and 32 GB of ECC RAM will cost that much. Look up what other workstations with similar specs cost, this is normal pricing.

I got one, not because I wanted to stand (which I do from time to time), but because full height adjustability is so convenient.

Part of a broader pattern in military technology right now. All weapon systems that consist of an expensive vehicle and an expensive-to-train crew are being re-evaluated against drones right now. If you're fighting a highly asymmetric

> Given what they fought against Mass murder of civilians isn't morally acceptable no matter what the "other side" is doing. Firebombing a kindergarten in the Rheinland doesn't do anything to help someone in an exterm

Maybe, maybe not. Amazon has always been the most employee-hostile of the big tech companies. Google and especially FB/Meta have historically poached a lot of engineers away from them just by being more competitive with comp and benefi

Does anyone know what happened to Luke Smith? His website and YouTube channel haven't been updated in over a year. Has he gone full Orthodox monk and withdrawn from the modern world to some monastery up in the mountains in Serbia?

"X has always been a sign of Y" Pretty arbitrary assertion. Maybe shoplifting is a sign of what you say it is. Could also be a sign of breakdown in law and order because property crime is increasingly ignored, and so people do it

Some are good, some aren't. The problem is, a Bootcamp student can't tell the difference and there's nothing like an accreditation system for them so it's full on market for lemons[1]. [1] https://en.m.wikiped

It's definitely profitable in terms of support contracts. But make no mistake, any place that is still running these legacy systems like commercial Unix (HPUX, AIX), OpenVMS, IBM i (aka OS/400 aka System/38) or mainframes is

From TFA: One thing to get out of the way is that crab rangoon is not inauthentic, and you should not be embarrassed to order it. American Chinese food is its own cuisine, with its own staples and a reasonably long and fascinating history.

I get recruiter and "join my startup" messages once or twice a week now, up from it being completely dead a year ago. It's definitely still a tough market, but I don't know anyone good who was laid off and then stayed un
