If they get rid of NATO then they lose their jobs. NATO needs an enemy to justify their existence. Hence, Russia.

Actually I think that was just a speck of dust on the camera lens.

> You can also approximate pi as 22/7

Except in Indiana, where the legal value of pi is 3.2 by mandate.

> Calling cutting edge-models consumer facing models like ChatGPT-4 garbage generating machines is very intellectually dishonest.

This is true. It is not really _generating_ garbage, as much as it is regurgitating garbage from the input data.

> Interesting how our leaders see their role not as representing our interests, but in shaping our interests.

Not in shaping our interests, but the interests of the 'deplorables', the people who disagree and who they see as beneath them.

> What do you mean by after-work grinding?

Just making some extra money after the day job.

Here's one strategy:

> If there's a year to go, it's probably this one.

Why? My intuition is telling me that this is a 'buy the rumor, sell the news' situation (with this being the 'sell' part)

It would be like buying bitcoin for the first time at $60k.

> Not for programs where the amount of items you must store is only known at run time.

Usually it's not necessary to load everything into memory. It's usually more efficient to process data similar to map-reduce, and just use stdio and stdout

Not only do you have to own a mac, you have to keep everything updated to the latest version. This is problematic, considering that the OS gets worse and worse with every release, and some things break with new versions.

I used to think like you, but not anymore. I am not interested in installing random software from other people, I want to install my own software to be able to have full control over my own device.

I don't care about 'regular users'. I care about myself.

If we run out of plant food sources, the omnivores can simply eat the vegans. In nature, there is a food chain.

I have replaced all of my milk consumption with Malk, now with Vitamin R

> People should focus their time and energy on better solutions than PHP or ColdFusion.

Yes they should, but none of the 'solutions' are actually much better. We should all just accept the cold, hard reality that the web was a huge mistake and never should have been created. Nothing good has come from the web. Personally I was much happier with usenet, ftp, and gopher.

My dream is to be able to write everything in CSS. That would be my language of choice.

> What is the PHP equivalent of writing your front end and back end in the same language so you can share libraries and data and not have to switch gears between two different languages each time you look up or down the stack?

You can simply compile your PHP code to wasm with emscripten, and then run it in the browser. Pretty straightforward. No more switching gears.

The universe is quantized, according to quantum physics. That means living creatures are effectively digital.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. You speak the truth. My only nitpick is that it is a pseudo random number generator.

Actually, I do know why you are getting downvoted. You speak the truth.

Just for the record, I agree with you. I'm not sure if I worded my response correctly.

I also think the keyboard on the Speak & Spell is better than the 2016 Macbook keyboard.

It was awful, but it was still better than the 2016 Macbook keyboard.

If you are an excellent programmer, you will write excellent Perl and good Python code. The Python language limits your ability to write excellent code, which also limits your ability to write horrendous code.

I can't get it to work, it keeps crashing on me.

Wouldn't that be kind of bloated?

Nice. I do think portrait would be better for a vertical shooter.

Actually I have already replaced Telnet with systemd

Can you name one time in history where sanctions have actually worked?

> I wouldn’t also believe that the new system being imposed would both retain the existing system and specific assignment of property rights. That’s just a weirdly calibrated level of trust in the government that the scenario is otherwise so paranoid about.

It would be more like a return to feudalism, which was the system in place before capitalism. The barter system becomes relevant again.

> And there's good reason to be skeptical of China joining Russia in a world war.

You don't seem to have an understanding of basic strategy. China will probably use this opportunity to take back Taiwan. And North Korea might as well invade South Korea while we're at it.

> On the one hand, you prevent Trump winning and maybe write some debt down.

You don't just write down some debt. You default on all sovereign debt and introduce a brand new monetary system, entirely digital so that everything can be tracked.

The timing is better since they get more back for their buck, similar to how they scheduled Trump's hearing for December at the start of the campaign season, rather than as soon as possible. It gives them more time to prepare, and to do military exercises. War requires planning, you can't just flip a switch and go to war.

Tangible assets will survive the transition to the next monetary system as they can be revalued. Government debt will go to zero. I'm not sure that this is a get rich opportunity, rather a try-not-to-lose-your-life-savings event.
