I have back problems. For me, perching on a barstool for an extended time is much more comfortable than sitting in a chair.

Modules: one of the great programming innovations of the 1960s, first available in JS just fifty years later.

As soon as possible.

He'll die soon enough, and probably get a big state funeral, with gushing media coverage, after lying in state in the Capitol. Most likely the President of that time will give a eulogy. Makes me sick.

If I'd known I would have gotten him something, like a plane ticket to the Hague.

But what's a Hrung and why would it choose to collapse on Betelgeuse?

"AI works like our brains" is indeed generally not so, but CNNs do work like the visual cortex, somewhat--it's where they got the idea for them in the first place.

Well, I'm convinced. On June 1, I'll be paying my rent in the form of $2,500 worth of raw fish left on my landlord's doorstep.

I got a postcard from the tardigrades the other day. They're fine and they say hi.

Which is how he was able to write two students a "modest" check for $100,000.

Well they haven't said no yet and it's only been...[checks watch]...14 months.

I turned down an otherwise-attractive offer last year because they wouldn't budge on five days a week in the office. My door-to-door commute there would have amounted to just about 8 hours per week (assuming the subway is running properly, which you can't assume in Boston, but let's for the sake of argument).

I told them that, since the commute would have lengthened my work week by 20%, I'd reconsider if they came up on their offer by 20%. Haven't heard back, I assume they're still thinking about it.

Similarly, totally useless if you happen to find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile.

But again, in most cases, the answer is "because your company seems tolerable to work for and you advertised an opening and I need work". So you're back to performing.

Ironically Abel himself died at age 26. Even Amy Winehouse lived longer.

I suspect that if some accidents of history hadn't left JS as the only language you can use to script a Web browser, it would have died off long ago.

That would be a polite way to put it yes.

How's that work out for him?

That's good. In case of home intruders you'll have a heavy, sturdy bludgeon at hand.

Think you got this backwards.

None of your colleagues have kids? None are sober alcoholics?

> No, the battle must rage on long after it's won. For the love of all that is holy, learn to take the win!

It's not people who like to work remotely who are keeping this fight going. It's management claiming that Serendipitous Encounters Around The Water Cooler (TM) are invaluable to their business.

Hi just chiming in from lovely Boston Massachusetts to let you know you're wrong. Source: my own two eyes.

Not sure I've ever heard of a payment processor that isn't.

"Python but with better performance" is a faster horse, not a car.

Watch for my upcoming story, "Is the answer to this headline 'no'?"

"Small startup" and "IBM stack" are not things you hear of in combination that often and I guess this is one reason why.

My first guess was, if they'd decided on a hiring freeze a year ago instead of now, they would have said it was because of NFTs.

Cool. You do it your way and I'll do it my way and we'll see who gets results.
