Do high interest rates not, by definition, favor capital over labor?
The existential risk is in companies smoking the AI crackpipe that sama (begging your pardon) handed them, thinking it feels great and then projecting[1] that every investment will hit like the first, and continuing to buy the <EXPLETIVE> crack that they can't afford, and they investors can't afford, and their clients can't afford, their vendors can't afford, the grid can't afford, the planet can't afford, the American people can't afford, and sama[2] can't afford, _because it's <EXPLETIVE> crack_!
The wise will shut up and take the win on the slop com bubble.

The work/retirement dichotomy is such a weird and peculiar artifact of the 1950s US middle-class nuclear-family milieu.
That's gone.
For the rest of us, it's just...live your life, until you don't.

Respect.
In other news, a kitten named millicurie did a really adorable thing.
The only remarkable fact here is that the regulatory structure is strong enough that we commoners are entitled to hear about it. That's a Very Good Thing, and one I wish we enjoyed apropos, say, the corporate veil (looking at you, Chevron, Exxon, Shell, Aramco, Sinopec, Amazon, Oracle, AIPAC, United, The Trump Organization, X Corp, Paramount, Skydance, eMed Population Health, Inc., et. al.).
But the story here is a guy fell into some water, and is following SOP (which is also a Very Good Thing).
Please don't feed the clickbait.
I just have one question... Which came first?
Put another way, if I could grease the right palms to shave commensurate minuscule savings off of the budget of ICE, it'd pay off my mortgage. Twentyfold.
Back to greenhouse gases, I'm no climatologist, but isn't it plausible the difference could, for instance, make or break one catastrophic wildfire across the western seaboard of North America?
Beware of statistic thinking in a stochastic world.
For real though, the DG is the perfect personification. Don't overfeed it, it'll only get meaner.
Server-sent events.
Unfortunately, the web wasn't designed that way, which is why every document that you read on a website instead of on paper is illegible.
It's a shame, really. :) /s
It also shines first thing in the morning where your hair and eyes are so disheveled that even Siri didn't recognize you. Your thumb is probably still the same shape.
There absolutely is.
Viz. the no-name drip machine I picked up at Goodwill for $10 and is probably older than me. The heating element makes the water boil, and it trickles over the grounds and becomes my morning salvation.
Viz. the Brother laser printer ca. 2013 for $99 (in, admittedly, 2013 dollars). I had to replace the toner once, it was slightly annoying.
Neither of these items has an app.
Longevity ≈ Quality / Complexity where Quality ≠ Price
TIL.
Sound advice, caveat that (for so many reasons) a shop that feels right and _stays that way_ is increasingly rare and precious.
Perhaps we should start there.

Technologies: Are listed on my resume and gravitate around fullstack. To get past bad filters, I enumerate TypeScript React Python Scala Elixir Tailwind Linux Node Kotlin Android Docker Git C++ COBOL (just kidding) aaand PostgreSQL. I'm messing with Svelte, ktor.io, DaggerCI and ArgoCD in a current role.
Seeking: Series B -ish, 20-50 headcount-ish, bonus points for work in Health, Education, or Environmental sectors. Hybrid 40% in the Boston metro is ideal, but full onsite to full remote is all fair game, and if you are still reading, have a wonderful day and make a stranger smile.
Statement: Don't hire me for a hard skills match. Hire me for versatility as a polyglot agnostic builder of stuff, mentorship capacity to strengthen your whole team, bulletproof optimism in a fast-paced and uncertain world, a low-maintenance and well-behaved ego, and the occasional classy dad joke (no, I don't have kids).
Do the team have a name, or at least a code name?
That's a fine way to frame it.
In this horticultural metaphor, I sure hope we'll come to germinate a new and healthy UX maximalism, but so far, with rare exceptions few and far between, I'm not seeing it.
Even Wikipedia, long a bastion of the good old ugly, went ahead and introduced a hamburger menu, replaced the old global sidebar with the article's TOC (collapsed by default with "generous" spacing), and replaced the old right-hand TOC with...whitespace.

Do you mean VS code with a plugin that makes it look and feel like neovim, or is there a way to make both clients edit the same buffer at the same time?
I'm sure there are myriad browser extensions that will do it at the DOM level, but that's such a heavy-handed solution, and also lol I'm not putting an extension on the cartesian product of all my browsers on all my machines in the service of dis-enshittifying one once-beloved social network.
