I agreed with the headline but now I think about it lots of interesting and or funny stuff too. Look at HN as an example.

I started, I just didn't have the time and realized my blog was **. Looking around most other blogs are equally bad. There are some good writers out ther but the majority of tech people aren't.

Liberal arts education will one day be back in fashion.

Can I forget about reactive programming now? Its been fashionable for the last 5+ years, I hate it. Kinda cool to play around with but just seems to double the complexity on everything.

The problem with all these banks disappearing is that there are continuously fewer and fewer choices left. Eventually there will be a handful of megabanks and nothing else. I guess this is happening in every industry these days.

In the past I've done a few different ways but now I see strict infosec rules, That part is more important than where it runs. eg My last job we had a workflow where you needed a ticket approved by second eyes, which used CyberArk to c

Its something every support desk should have. I often write my own tools like this. Ideally write a select query, execute it, note how many rows it selets, copy the where clause, start transaction, update using the where clause, execute, ch

In most buildings there is no concrete between walls but floors have a ~1 inch layer of lightweight-concrete, I think for fire resistance, its not solid so you hear every footprint.

I'm not sure about connected, but I do like being able to walk the stairs to the apt, being able to open a door to a balcony. Its also less instrusive to the neighborhood than a tower which overlooks everyone.

Actually its a good thing about our condo is independent heat pumps per unit so everyone gets their own air handler and ducts. Its expensive to replace each one individuall though.

I live in one, it isn't that awesome. Lots of noise from neighbours, but the worst thing is the big fire hazard. The risk of fire means there is a lot of sprinklers everywhere which regularly get damaged and leak everywhere. Usually ev

Well in my state generally the wealthiest people live in suburbs and pay all the taxes. The poorest areas are in cities and get the subsidies. So the suburbs are subsidising the cities. And that was before everyone started WFH so downtowns

I'd quite like a keyboard and mouse that is better quality that the $9 specials most companies prefer.

Similarly its terrifying when you hear the drive clunking away on a bad disk when you know there will be an error before the screen shows it.

The main point is people in Northern lattitudes needs most of their energy in the Winter, especially winter nights. Its a very different problem to Southern states where peak energy use is hot sunny days. As for distortions the biggest prob

Utilities are huge financial organzations that have to provide secure generation and transportation over decades. Just because solar is cheaper now doesn't mean you can replace everything in just a few years. Also Solar might work grea

Copper costs 6x Aluminium and is much rarer + in a car you want to be as lightweight as possible. You need a good reason to avoid it.

We tried it once and the semi-tech SMEs had no desire to write cucumber code so it ended up being the developers who hated writing in a second language. No real benefit.

Doesn't France have a standardized 15% service charge.

> why the fuck am I paying you a 15% service charge for me Service charge is like not tipping, actually I kinda prefer this to having to look the cashier in the eye and choose which tip button.

Jersey City here. We're building 10,000 new apartments a year but everything is full and rents are up again this year, its probably 20-30% higher than pre-covid. The new construction has just attracted new crowds, it hasn't helped

We have our own software SDLC with custom tools. Its kinda nice coordinating across a large organization, sucks to be using these custom tools.
