I wasn't a fan of drive-time radio, but WYSP had Metal Shop at something like 11PM Friday. That's where I discovered Metallica, Megadeth, Anvil, WASP, all the Metal Blade era music. I've never had anything algorithmic show me

Same situation, once I discovered the CLI and got it set up, my happiness went up a lot. It's pretty good, for my purposes at work it's probably as good as Claude Code.

They have copilot-cli, which is something like Claude Code, it's actually pretty effective, at least more effective than Copilot+VSCode. I think in the end it's branding. They want people to think "Copilot = AI" but the

I saw this about 20 years ago in an exhibition at the Denver Library. I'd wondered how they really knew who the real people behind the characters were, it turns out that Kerouac didn't change any names at first so it's right

This reminds me of the line from "Jackie Brown": "You can't trust Melanie. But you can trust Melanie to be Melanie". I owned an early Roomba an it would just bump into things and "bounce" off. There was so

I think that the most effective way to get change would be if the economy tanked, that's the one thing the electorate seems to be motivated by. A general strike would be one way to do that, but I doubt that one could be organized on an

Not only did they put out a playbook, they actively recruited and screened people to take government positions. I read a post on Reddit from someone who went through the training. The whole idea was to find ideological supporters. Trump&#x2

About 20 years ago, I used to do interviews that were "write a program to add two numbers together" (I think specifically I asked for a web application). It's trivial, right? There's actually a lot going on. They have to

That's an interesting point about watching how they work with AI. The people I know who are most successful actually engage in back & forth.

I loved mine until the transmission blew out at 96,000 miles. Could be a one-off, but then a friend bought a used one with 108,000 miles, and the dealer proudly noted that it had a new transmission just installed. I think that vaunted relia

These are two wildly different companies. AMZN still has some upside and pays a lot in equity. The only reason to own T is for the dividend while your capital sublimates. That said AMZN is a lot more like the old model, they never really su

Yet the author wrote tools to do that. Part of what I thought from looking at these dashboards is that the author by their own admission[1] arbitrarily doubly prioritized customer communications over internal discussion and gave credit for

I'm sure there are thousands of resumes out there with a Medium blog URL on them, which probably impresses HR but not so much if you actually read them. It's all just another way to "build your personal brand".

Medium was flooded with human-created slop before OpenAI got big. I work in Spark a lot, and basically every question I put into Google has a few lame Medium articles that basically recap the docs or have some trivial example code. Ironical

I just skimmed the article but the author had a statement about JS being "working class" in that it didn't enforce types and that he dislikes TS for that reason. Rust is completely anathema to that attitude, you have to make

If Google is falling behind, it's because they are not and never were a product company, and that's a direct result of Schmidt's leadership. His CEO experience was at Novell, which also had lousy product focus and lost to Mic

I have very few SO contributions so I don't have much at stake personally, but I have observed that there was a trend of people using their SO profiles for career advancement. I'd see people reference their SO activity on resumes

Not so much anymore though. I've seen over the last year that SO ranks lower and content farms like geeks4geeks, Programiz, etc. are getting much higher in results.

"Hank Milam was a businessman with $20,000 in equipment and a firm faith in the rules of the game. He took on the union that had ruled the Houston docks for fifty years and beat it on its own turf."

This is the part that's left out of every statement that starts with "There's a shortage of workers in industry X" ... "willing to accept the current wages / working conditions". Similar for "jobs Ame

I personally know a half dozen people laid off last fall and 2 were at startups than ran out of money. Fiscal tightening has a lot to do with it, investment funds are now competing with 5% guaranteed returns on short term investments.

I've done some searching. 30 years experience, I've been writing Java and Python since the 90s. I was working in .NET since Beta 1. I'm very much a generalist, but I can't even get a call back from a company that looked

I honestly have started to wonder if the popularity of languages like Go and JavaScript are due to the lack of features in the base language. JavaScript in particular has had an incredible amount of effort invested in creating fairly limite
