There will probably be one within the next decade. My bets are on China.

I think he meant mixed Europe with Canada, which would have made the statement true.

I doubt I could even work in a fab having psoriasis.

My 2015 Honda had that and my new car does as well.

I always stay up with the latest go releases and if I am touching one of my packages that are set to lower in go.mod, I update it. It is an easy maintenance task to make sure I am keeping up with the latest standard library and tooling changes and improvements.

I just write my own code and then ask AI to find any issues and correct them if I feel it is good advice. What AI is amazing at is writing most of my test cases. Saves me a lot of time.

You must not have heard, Biden is no longer president.

Even if someone starts a meeting early, I still don't join until the start time out of spite.

No kids, rent is $1800 a month for a 1 bedroom. I could rent the same for cheaper but I like this place. I'm in Washington State, Software Devs make decent money where I am but not SF wages. I make good money but nowhere near the top. I have an easy job, WFH and rarely work over 40 a week.

Maybe in the US, but not overall.

Before Covid, I lived on about 25K a year since I had a paid off condo then. Now, I am renting and live on around 36K a year. I realize my situation doesn't work for everyone. Some people cannot fathom not buying a new phone and computer every year and a new car every 3 years.

Also, now, I am fully working from home so that helps with saving on gas and not eating out as much. I make my coffee every morning instead of Starbucks on the way to work and I make my own lunch and dinner 95% of the time.

Numbers don't matter. If you can save 80% of your paycheck for 15-20 years and you invest it wisely, you are FI on the 4% rule.

I haven't got to 10m yet, but I saved 70-80% of my take home pay since ~2008 and I have enough to quit at any time and live the rest of my life without working. That is just by investing in the 3-fund portfolio and without the crazy SF salaries.

Being FI helped me out greatly in December 2020 when My company laid off half of my team and expected me to take on double the load, including lots of extra after hours on-call support. I had a pretty great time not working for ~3 years during Covid. However, I am back to work after an old friend and boss offered me a WFH job that I couldn't refuse. He has since retired so I will stick around until current management pisses me off again, they downsize me or I just get sick of logging into teams/outlook at 7AM every morning.

I wish I would have done what you did. Especially since I wanted 128GB. Now I am probably going to settle for 64GB or maybe 96GB.

I've only played with CachyOS in a VM but I plan on installing it on my next computer build.

You could always pre-hash the password with sha256 or something similar to guarantee you won't go over the 72 byte limit.

I am not well versed in this problem but can't the web servers rate limit by known IP addresses of these crawler/scrapers?

Error handling isn't even a pain to write any more with AI autocomplete which gets it right 95%+ of the time in my experience.

Well that may also be because ChatGPT is worse than Gemini and Claude for coding. I don't know what the benchmarks say, I am just saying that from my own experience.

Yes, but a lot of linux games use an Arch distribution such as CachyOS since SteamOS also is. They get updates faster because of the rolling releases.

Wasn't that how it worked before Microsoft bought Github?

It's funny that they keep renaming it and everyone still calls it AS/400. I remember when they wanted people to call it iSeries but everyone just still used AS/400. I didn't even know about the others you posted and I still use the AS/400 occasionally.

That would still be PS3 for me.

What country are you in? I have never been asked to verify my age and my account is the around the same age.

I use Thunderbird to access my Proton Mail. They have an app called Proton Mail Bridge that allows you to access it via IMAP or SMTP.

Edit: Missed the paid part in you message. Yeah, I have a paid account.

Every recent RWF, including the one a couple of weeks ago, they have at least a few people who are still remote.

Yeah, I was working from home anyway so it just made sense to move. The money I saved paid my rent fully and then some.

I work for a Portland company at home in Vancouver so I get to skip their income tax. It's a 10-15 minute drive to the PDX area where there is a Best Buy, Ikea and other stores where I can easily skip sales if I want to.

I live in Vancouver, WA and my IP comes back to Portland, OR.
