Sorry - what do you blame Canadian leadership for? What did they do?

Yes, the USA has massive leverage over Canada on basically every front. We are a small child standing next to a massive person with a gun. But what is the point of destroying us? Our economy is already down. All of our tech elite move to Si

The root issue here is children not coming out to their parents. If we improve that metric, we can begin to improve all other metrics. Ie: the parent can help the child discover appropriate peer groups

I'm bullish on Intel. I think the stateside fabs they are building will eventually be powerhouses. I'm not sure when, but I've been "long Intel" for a long time.

A game server could perhaps be another valid use case for this technology. A simple program, performance maximized, cost minimized.

As someone who's done game dev professionally for a decade, as well as had countless personal projects and has known others to have done the same: don't underestimate the toll game dev can take on you, it's a cruel mistress.

Performance in your shell script is a new one. Can you cite a real world example where that would ever matter? My shell scripts just initiate build/export/deploy programs. They take milliseconds to run and then the programs they s
