Pretty much anything I do for my employer. Ill make sure it works and is high quality but I am well past the stage of my career where I am emotionally invested in any of this crap.

Played it. Love it. Still too much of a transport sim tho for what I am thinking of.

I think what you are getting at and what I really want is a multiplayer model railroad. Something that can have complexity but doesn’t force it like a simulator. I want a mix of transport fever, minecraft, and factorio with a multiplayer co

At some point the courts are going to have to step in on these things.

That's not the point. We gave the government power for a very specific reason, and now that power is being overextended for a use it was never intended.

People are significantly more exposed to the stock market these days than in 1910. Considering tons of people's 401k's are basically made up of the biggest companies in the US thanks to index funds there is a lot of incentive to n

I just think they're out of time at this point to get in on B2B cloud computing... they may have the know how to build great data centers and stuff but there is a lot of work to go from "FB only" to "Anyone". Let&#x

This would be an interesting but perilous pivot... trying to get into cloud infra at this point seems like an insane idea. What would even be the attraction for company to want to run on FB cloud vs one of the established players that now h

I haven't seen an ad on the internet in at least a decade so this sounds about right. My mom recently somehow managed to disable the ad-blocker I have setup on her computer and was blown away by how much advertising is on the internet.

To add onto this, my experience is you never want a fully automated status page for another two reasons: 1. External engineers will start to automate recovery/mitigation processes around your status page if it has real time status. 2.

Microsoft is so diversified it would take some truly monumental changes or a spectacular collapse for it not end up a 10T company. The question is when not if in my mind.

Maybe I misremember or it’s committed to the nostalgia zone but I remember SimCopter being a ton of fun. I only really remember it being prone to freezing. Once I figured out how to get my SC2K cities ported into the game it was even more f

Ouch hard lesson to learn. I burned some ETH earlier this year trying to buy SHIB for shits and giggles. This is a problem that needs to be figured out before crypto can go mainstream.

Because good docs are like a good search engine: high hit rate for what you want most of the time. The edge cases and quirky impl detail questions are what src is for.

SDK design problems not unique to AWS. Companies that startup dedicated language SDK teams eventually find those teams needing to justify their existence so you end with needless new versions. Some better than others

Shift 3-5 up. I don't think the new WTC holds close to the same brand recognition as The Twins. Personally I'd probably rank the Top-5 post 9/11 as: 1. Statue of Liberty 2. Empire State Building 3. Times Square 4. Rockefeller

Sorry, should have been clearer - the ESB absolutely held the #2 spot pre-WTC, but the WTC overtook the ESB in attention and recognition mostly due to its prominent featuring in mass media which really ramped up and has been the top cultura
