unlike the US, China hadn't invaded another country or instigated coup for the past 40+ years. No need to invade when you can do neo-colonialism to take over Africa, social media to influence the vote of your primary rival, and forci

We all saw through the Great Recession that immigration rises and falls with the economy. I don't care about the economy as much as I care about my employment. I've directly witnessed the negative effects on American tech employe

I'm just going to use LLMs to write them, because they're exactly the kind of B.S. work that I hate, and LLMs are great at generating B.S.

No, that's a common economy thinking flaw -- assuming there's a finite amount of work to be done. Anyone who has tried and failed to find work during a recession knows that there is a finite amount of work to be done.

I have all the tools I need at my disposal Yes, we've all heard the saying that Emacs is an operating system with a text editor built in. I for one do exactly what I want - I want the shit on my computer to work and work on my terms

This isn't about skill or superiority, but comfort. The down-votes that I continue to get in this thread tell a different story.

This reminds me of the CHiPs episode "Bright Flashes", where robbers temporarily blind patrons and staff so that they can rob stores. It's from 1982, when lasers were the hot new thing and imaginations ran wild. To my knowl

Not GP, but I've always found it weird how many people are obsessed with vi/vim and/or Emacs. I get some of the extensibility appeal of Emacs if you're a Lisp fan, but fundamentally I don't understand the appeal of

Be proud of your work. I was just thinking the other day that all of the code I've written for companies is now dead and gone. I wrote some really elegant, interesting stuff at a few companies and now it's only a memory in my h

In that video, Gore said that, in the aftermath of the cold war, we should "step up to the plate" and provide leadership. He didn't say anything about wars or even the military, only Bush did! This was during a period where

Sometime between maybe '79 and '83, there was a particularly memorable Christmas. We drove across the state to my grandparents' huge ranch home (I visited the new owners as an adult, turns out it was a normal-sized house).
