I’ve been voting against Trump and maga since 2016. Waiting for sanity to return; I hope it will return but at this point I’m doubtful.

Former Republican here aka Rino. It’s easily explained; the GOP ceased to exist when they all fell in line with Trump first term. Trump threatened to to form his own party with his massive following and make the GOP the third choice on the

I dodged layoffs for 20 years, then got caught about 2024. Kinda sucked because I was over employed and had quit my other two jobs to focus on that one because it was the highest paying. Karma is real! I just said “VIP and manager, I apprec

It’s trivial to use a cellular connection to control a fpv drone, near real time. I’m really surprised there hasn’t been occurrences of extortion (ie protection rackets) and targeted assassinations via air droppable explosives like we see

Do you always make things about yourself? Have you written a parser or interpreter? You should, it’s an interesting exercise. The idea is to add meta tracing to the interpreter (the c code) that allows hot paths to be compiled to machine co

Doesn’t affect me. I personally stopped in 2023, plus I can retire anytime thanks to the money I made then and Taco.

It doesn’t, I have one of these jobs on my resume and I simply don’t mention the others. Who would know if I don’t tell them? The IRS knows I had 3 w2s but they don’t know the dates of employment. It does so happen all three companies used

Glad I was over working three full time jobs (remote w2) during that period. I stacked A LOT of cash during that those years that has appreciated nicely.

This is a big turn off for me too. I don’t want to “figure it out for myself”. That’s why I became catholic as an adult. With the fediverse I have an overwhelming fear of missing out if I pick the wrong communities. I feel like it needs agg

This, I got married at 40 to a 36 year old. We both wanted kids and a family but for reasons it hadn’t worked out for either of us. This wasn’t a Disney romance by any means but we get along and we put in the work to make it work. We had tw

It’s my personal belief that btc has been the currency of foreign influence operations ie for paying media figures to influence popular opinion and sentiments. I believe this can be most readily seen in the US right and maga. The messaging

When I was moonlighting LinkedIn didn’t affect me. Every time I applied/interviewed and got hired for a w2 job, I just left my last non moonlighting employer on there, and checked the “please don’t contact current employer” checkbox. I

Nice effort but this isn’t interesting at all. You skipped the most interesting part; parsing http. This is beejs networking tutorial with writing a file to a socket. Harsh? Maybe, but you’re posting this to a site with some of the most tal

Until science can offer an explanation of "why am I here? what is meaning?" other than random chance, there will always be religion. Some may find random chance comforting and meaningful, but most don't. Belief in God can nev

This is why I became catholic as an adult. I was raised baptist, and became agnostic. Then started attending mass with my now wife. Imo Protestants border on bible (the physical book) worship over all else, and ignore the reality of Jesus s

Let him go build his rockets in Russia or China. If he wants to support anti democratic folks he’ll be right at home somewhere else. Musk and his troll farm can piss right off imo.

As someone who witnessed A-10 CAS fuck some stuff up in a combat zone ie the real “brrrrt” I’ve been mystified by the meme and current useage. No one knows where it comes from nor the slaughter it represents.

Whenever people say about someone “they would never kill themselves” it reminds me of a deeply disturbing depression episode I had, thankfully only once, that lasted about 8 hours. It was the blackest morass of misery, I couldn’t bear to be

I never understood the "salt scarcity in antiquity" idea. As in they could just use a splash brine water from the sea if you physiologically need salt. And transport sea water inland as needed.

In 2018 I was working low effort job at a insurance/finance type company that was having layoffs. So I started interviewing for a new job, and landed a remote job and took it. I didn't quit my old job. So I worked two jobs for abo

Well that supports my point actually, that these "short comings" aren't short comings at all if one takes the time to learn the framework. Blabbering? People often say that who have no valid technical or intellectual response
