Going to simplify this for you: get two drills.

What problem are we trying to solve with this technology?

This is giving me such Beowulf Cluster deja vu

Counterpoint: protests are getting louder and more obnoxious because elected officials act in favor of special interests rather than their constituents preferences?

OMG have you forgotten why we got up to our asses in computers in the first place??

As a senior I'm really not feeling any FOMO here. If the tools are going to get better and better, is there any need to be an early adopter, or build expertise in using them?

I would recommend looking for partners in your state, or somewhere you don't mind working. Get your resume ready, and figure out where you're at in terms of remote or onsite work. Reach out to org leads or recruiters and see if they have any matches for your skillset.

This is the national org for 1099 passthrough contracting shops. See if any of these folks have work. These organizations will perform the sales part with larger companies, and carry larger insurance policies than independent consultants can usually get. They'll take a cut, but there's still pretty good money in it. The work is typically staff augmentation roles on various large projects at F500 companies.

There's also a supplier directory it may be worth registering on.

"it runs like a scalded dog"

lol. Glad to hear the solution's working for you.

I too have made coffee with hotdog water.

You can drink it?

I'm curious about the environmental impacts of this deposit vs the copper sulfite mine we've been debating in Minnesota near Lake Superior / Boundary Waters.

This is old technology. Maybe try the wikipedia article for starters?

This is not accurate. In my city, we've rolled all that back.

Such as when energy companies buried research about climate change...?

I like this idea. This is not as safe as having your kids in a licensed daycare.

Onsite daycare is the future of office work if employers are actually serious about getting people to be in office.

If you don't have to work, you aren't middle class.

I think the 6million is aspirational.

daaaaag those lesions are terrible

It has gotten simpler in recent years. For people who just have regular jobs and families, you probably just have a wages statement from your employer (w-2). Most taxes are taken out already at payroll time. You add up all your w-2's and report on how many children you have and based on that you can calculate your taxes.

The forms used to calculate this are quite complicated because they are designed to be very versatile. For instance, in years gone by you could reduce your taxable income by noting stuff like healthcare expenses, childcare expenses, home mortgage interest etc. This is all now covered (for most people) by a standard income exemption that everyone gets.

The forms have not been simplified to match.

I agree. I think frameworks that hide the client server interplay are bad. This type of technology teaches magical thinking that doesn't live up to its promises as soon as you go a little off the beaten path and is more frustration than it's worth.

Having said that, first job is a first job. Take that c# you learn to a REST backend job once you have a couple years experience.

Really nice high level explainer that pulls together together all the motivations and features of the language I've heard about.

How are people liking the addition of generics?

I think this really puts the lie to the idea that market based housing is going to be good enough. It is not good enough to reduce the rate of rent inflation, as housing is already not affordable enough.

We need local and state industrial policy that actually builds affordable housing.

Every middle aged former skateboarder turned bartender or liquor sales person I know who's gotten on one of these fuckers cracked their face open. You have been warned.

I just looked at one and it stole all my hyphens.

I think it's a bot. Gross.

It depends on your employment agreement or contract. Most contracts I have seen say that any IP you develop related to what you're doing at work is the employers.

I was also absolutely gob smacked at this. Will they care? Probably not. Are you putting yourself at the absolute mercy of them deciding not to care? Absolutely.

I would have a hard time sleeping... like this would be like being in IT and knowing the backups were bullshit.

Yep. We need massive new sources of green power generation, probably nuclear until fusion gets going. We need to build stable liquid hydrocarbons and inject them back into oil wells, and build new coal mountains to replace the ones we extracted.

It's a completely insane amount of energy and effort, and every fossil fuel we burn makes it harder.

I think it's possible and worthwhile. It isn't really any more cartoonish than the wastefulness of our current material culture.

Does this mean we're gonna get more weirdo art / music spaces? Cool

Google is paying Mozilla to develop a web browser, to allow Google to develop a web browser without pissing off anti trust.

They're doing a merely ok job. It's not clear if that's intentional or because they're badly run.

There's a story there, this article seems to mostly be political winging.

I can not believe legal THC gummies are allowed to taste like candy.

Current state is like if whiskey had the drinkability of Sprite. People would be fucking dead left and right.

Weed consumables should taste * bad *. They should taste like you're ingesting a powerful dissociative hallucinogen. Eating more than three should be actually gross and weird.
