Yes. It's a little sad to see other comments assume that people have something to hide for doing something as basic as wanting to send money back to family. Banking services with hidden fees can be inherently less predictable than work

I'm moving there. Climate change is going to affect everywhere, and yes, a lot of Spain will experience desertification over the course of my lifetime. I am moving from Texas to Spain, though, so I am used to heat from a pure personal

The recent citations are definitely interesting, but none of this is really new. I met with some VCs in the early 10s, and some of them talked about "free enterprise zones" in various areas in the region. Frankly, I'm a littl

Three moments: 1. When ChatGPT came to the masses, it trivially solved my standard phone interview problem for new SWE hires. It's not particularly complicated, but it screened out a lot of candidates pre-AI and was a good filter. 2.

I know you are asking rhetorically, but this occurs routinely under the current US immigration regime. There have been over 100,000 children separated from their parents in the United States due to immigration enforcement since 2025. The fe

You can ban the commercialization and mass scaling of the technology. Just because you can't prevent something at a small scale doesn't mean you can't prevent corporations and government agencies from doing it without exposin

I feel like trying to "trick" the RNG into providing stability is the wrong approach here given all the footguns that can occur with having a low entropy seed, but I am not sure what an alternative to IP stability would be short o

I don't read German well and don't care to run this through a translator, but this is fascinating. I wonder how this list was compiled, by whom, and when it is used (is the gold audited)? You could randomly sample bars from the li

Yeah, our basic integration test suite takes over 20 minutes to run in CI, likely higher locally but I never try to run the full test suite locally. That doesn't even encapsulate PDVs and other continuous testing that runs in the backg

There's some wind power in south central Texas as well. I'd thought it was more of a west Texas sight, but you also see them going down I37 and I69E toward Brownsville.
