I'm surprised to see people still fawning over Gates, he's clearly as scummy as all the other billionaires. But apparently to be liked as a billionaire all you have to do is talk smart or smoke weed while tweeting memes.

I like how it also has support for the ENIAC platform. I kicked my family out of the house so I had room to install the ENIAC. Happy to hear there's an OS I can run on it to get real work done, like posting unfunny jokes for strangers

First, I would say if you're worried about your mental health, don't wait, go get help. It does sound to me like you might be a little depressed, but don't take the word of a random internet stranger. With that being said, wh

I love di.fm. If I find I'm too high energy I'll switch to some chill music (Future Garage, Liquid Trap), if I'm low energy I'll switch to high energy music (usually their Liquid Dnb station). If I really gotta get down

These are all good points. I still remember needing to buy tech books and $100 copies of VB for my expensive computer. Now far better tooling and way more learning resources are available for free on a $100 Chromebook. As much as people com

I'd hedge my bets and store it multiple ways in multiple formats. Including physical (print off pictures, diaries, etc. on acid free paper with acid free inks)

I really liked the Far Cry and Assassin Creed series... But I've grown so bored of them. Here's a huge map with a bunch of things to collect, boring missions, and towers to climb... That'll be 60 dollars please. Maybe just do

You under estimate the effects of confirmation bias. It's easy to dismiss one news article when the rest are an echo chamber for your political beliefs. To question the accuracy of a site that agrees with you means you must question yo

Fair enough, it's just a pet peeve of mine. Like people who had a few too many drinks and start cracking jokes about being an alcoholic. Have you looked into OCPD? (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder) From my relatively uninform

I've been working in the industry for 15+ years (including internship). I've job hopped every few years (currently working for a FAANG company), but I know devs with similar experience who have had the same job the whole time. Bot
