I'm hanging on because I love my kids. I look forward to a day when my suffering ends.

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop and I love it. I use it for all kinds of dev work running Windows 11 and WSL. It's technically a gaming machine but the appearance is understated. It has a very nice keyboard and the nicest touchpad I&#x

It's just human nature. This is the health equivalent of trying to turn lead into gold. It's my unproven opinion that the negative effects of these treatments are understated and this will be a passing fad.

It would work if people would actually do it. It 100% works. Human nature is such that people would rather take a drug than change their lifestyle. I've done it myself but it requires a complete realignment of lifestyle to make lasting

The Thing and Alien are my two favorite movies. Silence of the Lambs is up there too. Not movies but I've rewatched X-Files and Twin Peaks repeatedly as well.

It's 100% real in my experience. I delivered twice the goal my manager set and got a 1% raise. Since then I've scaled my effort way back. Work is a necessity, not a priority.

That's true but let me ask you, why then was Christ crucified? The Bible says to obey all authorities except in spiritual matters over which it (the Bible) claims they have no authority.

History is full of examples, IE the Protestant Reformation, when the Catholic church was insisting that the only way to know God was through a priest, and reformers, who insisted that one could know God without a human authority intervening

Google is essentially useless. If I really want to find something, I'll try Yandex nowadays. For the most part, I don't even search anymore. I just suffer with sites I've had bookmarked for years. Most of my potential searche

Ironically, I'm involved with a startup developing fart monitors as we speak. I'm certain it's going to be a huge market. /s

Your ideological position on should win a war is irrelevant. We're discussing the ethics of using automation to kill humans.

Who do you think the robots are killing? There are countless videos of drones blowing up Ukranian and Russian soldiers. Drones are being used to kill humans.

My tastes have changed a lot but I still do gaming. Now I'm playing Minecraft with my kids and I have a server where a bunch of their friends can join in and build stuff. I'm not interested in Minecraft for it's own sake but

There's a fake ass "goals" system. I was supposed to save my company $500k off of our massive cloud budget. I ended up cutting $1,000,000 by optimizing services and deleting old junk, also wrote some automation that saved us

I'm in the same boat. I just don't care about EMACS, don't like it, and there's little incentive when I'm just playing around. It's a shame because Lisp is really fun and interesting. I just don't want to

I love Affinity and I don't love Canva. I'm hopeful nothing much changes but I'm not holding my breath. I'll pay a subscription over my dead body.

I'm 40. I've been programming for 30 years. I get turned down for jobs all the time but it's almost always during the coding interview where I get asked to solve some brain teaser that has nothing to do with real work. The mo

Thanks for replying, sounds like what you're doing is pretty cool. Did you publish short stories on KDP as well or did you wait until you had longer pieces to publish?

Release your blog as an Electron application please.

How did you get started? Also what is the average length of your stories? Do you focus on a specific genre? I've been interested in writing for ages but I'm such a perfectionist.

I have a guitar instructional book that I've had more than 20 years, just checked out the CD the other day and it's still good. Also I've only mastered half of the exercises in the book so I'm still getting use out of it

I've worked with people smarter than I am but most of them absolutely sucked at producing quality results. I've only worked with perhaps two decent developers in my entire life, the rest were mediocre. I'm also mediocre but I

My understanding is that AWD systems generally allocate power to a wheel under certain conditions where it's detected that traction is lost. 4WD sends power to all wheels all the time, except perhaps when traction is lost to one wheel
