Anyone know about motherboards? I was going to build a new AMD PC and nearly everything was out of stock. I look now, and I see just 7 <$200. https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=100007625%208000%204131%204814...

I like generics for collections but that is about it. I've seen "gifted" programmers turn everything into generic classes and functions which then makes it very difficult for anyone else to figure out what is going on. One re

What I dont understand is that so many of the world's great intellectuals lived in beautiful cities and towns. University towns often are really pretty with quaint buildings both in Europe and the East Coast. Then how did SV manage to

I have a Surface which I found the best tablet as it was bigger than most. In the end I gave up buying ebooks and went back to regular books. If there is a pdf I have to read I'll do on my workstation.

"printing money" yes today, but if GCP/Azure or something else comes in and competes heavily the margins could easily shrink to something negative.

The problem is that software no-one wants often has the best careers. I worked on a system used by many people and it was hard work, was getting 10-15 years old, held together with tape and lots of users who all had their gripes and request

Yeah I was enthusiastic but my kids really aren't interested. I'm not sure if I should force them to do it or just give up.

ICE does support Black and Brown people by keeping illegal immigrants from flooding the market. Wages in many restaurants/building sites in NYC, LA, Florida, Texas are lower than other parts of the country because illegal labor gives a

Looks like a good product. Its an interesting test of how much people value privacy, I'd imagine 99.9% of people would rather be tracked and have ads than pay for email.

I'm still not sure what successful AI implementations there have been. Stuff like Amazon/Spotify recommendations seem sensible. Is there anything else out there that is impressive?

Amazon is my dream company. FB/Google are social media & ad nonsense. They rejected me though.

The content of 'Buildings Matter Too' article is worth reading, if you haven't seen it you definitely should. To me the editor resigning is not good. https://www.inquirer.com/columnists/floyd-protest-cent

I think this is just normal for big financial institutions. The small ones just break the rules or haven't been audited yet. The regulation is very suffocating.

I think its definitely possible, the problem is that after 10 years experience you dont really get much better which caps your salary. My earnings peaked when I was 35 and have gone sideways even shrunk since then. You also have to keep lea

Hollywood unions are a prime reason lots of movies are made in Vancouver/Georgia/Other Countries now. Hollywood will end up like Detroit.

I'm not convinced there is a problem specifically with FB either. Personally its great to keep up to date with friends and family globally. I only spend 20 minutes a week though. I spent a lot more time on Twitter and Reddit and those

I think this is pretty common in all professions teachers, doctors, even unskilled workers its like WTF. Its worse for tech though because you salary probably wont be going up from here.

The biggest problem with the dollar is America's ruthless crackdown on dollar transactions, examining everyone and criminalizing those who break the rules. That isn't bad, the problem is you never know who's going to be in th
