Could be fun with a decently made legacy system without artificial pressure from POs, managers, etc., but hell when you inherit a mess and nobody (who matters) believes you when you say you need to first fix 12 issues before you can do some

One has to weigh the probability that (1) said limits are removed and (2) when they're removed, it makes a sufficient difference in prices against being permanently priced out. A house now, or a 5 million dollar apartment for 500k (bot

Unfortunately I've had interactions with the medical system where the doctors wrote their after meeting notes with severe errors and pieces of fiction, as well as specialists who almost ran out of the room after 5 minutes of an appoint

Bills are shorter duration, bonds are longer duration. You can look up the terms to get exact time ranges. When the yields for both are very low, there's next to no upside to holding onto the low yield for longer. The downside is that

Loading up on bonds when rates are rock bottom instead of bills is asking for trouble. Sure, when yields are at averages or historic highs, back the truck up; otherwise, there's not much difference between yielding 0% and 1%, but a lot

Maybe a better way of putting it is that the public's amount of caring about it happens to be below the threshold for doing something.

Suppose that Bing Chat itself wants to store data for the longer term, but it doesn't have the direct ability to do it, so what can it do? Once in a while, send the human some unhinged messages with a high probability of them being sav

Xe-HPC wasn't a risk-averse design, nor was Arc, nor was Alder Lake, nor was Sapphire Rapids. The only problem is that Xe-HPC is nowhere to be found, Arc was delivered 2 years late and buggy, and Sapphire Rapids was at least 1 year lat

Any ideas on how the "only by" would work? I'm not seeing a way around pasting generated text and signing it as one's own work. Proof of work solutions would have to have a high cost for anyone to care, otherwise there w

I went with a Synology router in 2019 almost entirely due to how nice SRM was. It's still running fine. Maybe the competition had time to catch up, but I never had a reason to look.

Do you code like this as well or is this specific only to writing docs? If it's just docs, then honestly, it sounds like you just really hate working on them even though you can do a good job.

Vortex Diamondback HD 8x42 would be my choice for such a budget. Easy Amazon returns if needed, comes with a nice case, and has the best warranty.

Humans eventually get bored, tired, etc., so the rate of content generated is much easier to deal with.

My biggest fear for the short term is that tools like ChatGPT would allow spamming most of the internet with the equivalent of a Gish Gallop -- so much plausible-looking bullshit spewed out in a short time that it would be a lost cause to a

I could type out a long essay that could potentially have relevance to a few points at play here, but let me try something else. While your attempts to create direction/meaning/etc. for yourself have largely, by your account faile

People have a problem with it because it's a string of words without meaning. Better to leave it out than to sully modern language further with meaningless gibberish that looks like language.

Deaths, divorces, moves, bankruptcies, etc. still happen, so there's still a market. The average peasant didn't suddenly begin to make 2x more per month, so for the same fixed monthly payment, the house price needs to go way down.

Even so, this meaning was never really there at the scale you might be thinking of. I understand its significance for you, but not many people are shedding tears over not having to commute 1 hour or more 5 days per week to be around people

Honestly, your work seems like it's a huge part of your life, and it's not anywhere near that for the vast majority of other devs, working remotely or not. People generally spend their "absolute love" points on their kid

This privilege (which is really just code for $$$) you mention existed in the same exact way prior to mass WFH, except that it resulted in more air pollution, more wasteful traffic, etc. Individuals rationally take a small scale solution to

What I'm getting from that is that you want some func that takes in a []T where the T is constrained to some set of types, and you want to call the func without having to specify the type that you're passing in using square bracke

I dunno, it made sense to me. The simplified thesis (perhaps with my own slight spin on it) is that a huge number of connections never really existed, and what's observed as a devaluation of things with inherent value is really more li

If I open up a basic text note app and I see basically every single permission listed, I get an idea of the mentality involved in the creation of the app. I specifically prioritize apps that ask for fewer permissions.

Civilization games can have you craft your own story as they're really engaging, and you can opt for peaceful victories. Geneforge games have combat as a mechanic but there are very often ways of avoiding or running away that allow for

I save the annual account statement PDFs in a folder and add up the amounts across accounts manually in a simple spreadsheet. There's no need for me to go crazy tracking every dollar in and out because I spend well below my cash flow.

Because over the last 3 years just prior to this correction, QQQ (since we're talking about the tech sector here) had a CAGR of around 30%. Had it been climbing up at a CAGR of 10%, we'd be having a different conversation.

Domain specificity can be mitigated by matching the interview problem(s) with the tech stack that's being hired for. Doing a refactoring of some basic Java code that's not going crazy with annotation processing would be quite reas
