Do you believe a 50 year old software engineer is mentally no longer able to work? Should they be forced to sit back and tell stories of the good old days because their knees are blown out? Do you believe that one of the greatest living pro

As firefighters we enter homes in our full turnout gear with fire boots, even for simple calls like automatic fire alarms. The reason being 1/100 automatic alarms are real fires, so we don't want to be caught with our pants down.

I know folks who save and invest 20-80% of their income. They are not LARPing, and many of them have investments with growth exceeding their job income after 10 years of this kind of saving. It's hardly a LARP to save and invest. Maybe

Could I see your sources for how Rust is slower for iterations? I've been working in JS, Python, C#, TS, and F# for about ten years. I'd guess F# and TS are tied for me for prototyping speed. I have to wonder how much the "co

I'm a former middle school teacher and I think school needs to drop tests and grades entirely. There is no safe amount of measurement and assessment in school. By design what you measure becomes what gets optimized. You might like htt

I'm not very smart, but I've read so much history. I've also got a pretty strong pattern matching engine. Since the age of 8 my family traveled across the world interacting and working with thousands of folks of all walks of

In the last two years Windows 11 has shipped with increasingly serious bugs. Many of my co-workers report needing to reboot a few times a day because issues just compound. I regularly have major issues with Teams and Outlook. Crashes, not s

I'm not sure the cause and effect are accurate here. It's very likely more the other way: that folks curious about the world and how it works did that research in spite of religion which often attempted to suppress new findings th

I've wanted to build this myself for a long time but couldn't figure out how to overcome the spicy pillow problem. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I thought it was risky to leave a phone plugged in all the time. Does

I just released a new update to mine yesterday with ranges and the ability to make a story of multiple saved scenes. Then they can be played back at a presentation later. https://www.spacebook.com/

I'm volunteering to help build out a nonprofit EMS authority that will tax residents and businesses in our local six boroughs to spread out the costs for ambulance transports. We hope to set the rates such that folks won't have to

It's easy to point to high profile nepotites but I've known plenty of folks from all classes who have self-destructed. It's hardly limited to those with lives of leisure.

I read somewhere that the average developer only has 7 years of experience. This should be a fairly sobering warning to anyone getting into tech that you should be saving every penny and planning your next career move. I know so many people

From 2024-2025 I worked as a firefighter instructor while running my own tech business, and after two years I decided I was done instructing. I could not handle working on my feet in the pouring rain, getting endlessly hassled for doing a t

The results seem pretty clear that CBT can be quite effective in helping with ADHD. Unlike insulin, which cannot be produced with any sort of therapy, it does seem that ADHD can be significantly improved. I'm sorry though that the fact

I don't really care about long term implications of the OS for my standalone gaming rig in my living room. If it works, it works. Bazzite works, so I'm happily using it. If it stops working, I'll just install another distro.

I agree, while I love older music, generally I find I can only hear a song so many times before my enjoyment starts to fade. It takes considerable time away to recover a song from that point.

I love this writing, it really captures the author's depression from losing a loved one. Also made me think about how much the technologists have become almost a cult of money and power. If only we could devise gadgets that bring us to

One thing that I almost never see counted in studies of weight loss is the energy acquired from breathing. We extract out oxygen from the air constantly. I tried to guestimate it once and came up with the rough number that it's possibl

If you've ever been to a dialysis center when a patient accidentally pulls out the line you can imagine why. They are thick lines that will rapidly make a huge mess. I guess though a backpack version probably could be more like an alwa

The human brain doesn't stop maturing until 25. You can't rent a car until that age in the US. I would have gotten much more if I'd attended university starting at 25. However, it would have set me much farther behind in my c

Funny the last two months Teams has been the most buggy software I use. Nearly every day it drops a call, loses microphone connection, simply refuses to load, and chats disappear. It's nearly unusable. My teammate had it drop him out o
