I have mixed feelings right now, but this thing is going to grow on a lot of people. It just looks... badass.

EDIT: It's like the first time I saw The Rock. I thought his head was too small and his face was stupid. Now I love Dwayne Johnson.

Absolutely love my Planck. I was going to build more keebs, but it's perfect for my needs, and my wrists feel infinitely better.

Another excellent solution is the XD75, which is ortholinear, but puts a number pad between QWERT and YUIOP. The spacing is absolutely great.

Disagree strongly. Functional understanding is how I learn best, and this is perfect for me.

Whoa, never heard anyone talk about my ancestors before! My great-great grandmother was Passamaquoddy, and absolutely nobody knows who they are.

Yeah, NYC is rich as hell. There's simply enough cash to go around, so this can work. In my small town, this would kill so many small businesses.

It tastes far better, and as long as basic hygiene is followed, is very clean, too.

Thinkpad X-series is the alternative with a more durable build and a comparable pointing device. I would recommend any Thinkpad, but the X series is absolutely fantastic.

American raw milk is some of the best, though. I love my Amish raw milk. Some of the most nutritious stuff you can get.

Here's the story:

Tesla circumvents some dinosaur regulations

It suddenly makes sense

Chrysler pays $TSLAQ to whine about it

Everyone realizes it works really well

Repeat ad vomitum.

Because A/C lines are more efficient than either oil or batteries.

CEO doesn't like "the cloud", and VC is obviously that to him. I do use it locally, but that's about all.

Yes, I just wrote an EDI exporter in Ruby for Medicaid services, working on one for MCOs now. Thankfully we don't have to import EDI, or I'd go nuts.

Well, yeah, no. Family is leaving the country, S/O got kicked out, and I have a Great Pyrenees.

He thinks it's all cloud based. It's sad, yes.

I honestly enjoy the work when I know what's going on. We have a lot of unique problems to solve, and I have gotten positive changes made, as well as some really good weeks where I pounded out some good code, but other times it's slow, sad, and frustrating.

I'm in a small city, where not much work is available. I need to pad my resume a little more to make the work I do more attractive, but the reality is that LAMP devs aren't in high demand near me. I apply to several jobs daily, but not much is around. I'd appreciate pointers on how to improve my prospects, but the last place I interviewed was a seedy adult entertainment company, and I wouldn't have taken an offer if they begged, simply for personal reasons.

I'm studying hard, but learning new stuff while learning other new stuff is hard.

I'm the sole developer working on my current project, which is overhauling a massive DOS era application, as well as overhauling an early 2000s era CRM/business management tool, that almost all of our work happens through.

Did I mention that the DOS application is a HIPAA billing application that must meet all HIPAA guidelines as well as write EDI X12 billing files?

I'm very junior, been coding for ~5 years, 3 professionally, but this is my first real dumpster fire. We were about to hire a second developer, but turns out he had a record. Not for just anything, which we don't really worry about, but for embezzlement on the healthcare billing application he used to own. So, no. No can do.

So now poor 18-year-old me is knee-deep in a ton of shit I don't understand, working on non-version-controlled code, having been expressly forbidden from using ANY VC by the CEO, and trying to get details out of my older supervisor who built the code we're using, but he's near retirement and has so many vacation days saved up that he spends maybe 10 days a month in the office. I honestly can't blame him, but I either need resources to help me deal with legacy code, or a nice entry-level rails job, because I want to finish learning rails.

This article is trying to say that because the theatre used beards as a symbol of manliness, the entire male identity revolved around beards. This is ridiculous.

Hoopskirts were used to represent matronly women in early American theatre: therefore women gathered around these laughable garments as a symbol of their femininity.

You don't? I generally wear long sleeves, but I prefer to be comfortable at concerts.

> They know the government has everybody's best interest at heart, and that if something is classified, it's probably classified for your own good.

I really hope you're being facetious

I can't wait for blockchain ride-sharing.

Never mind https://www.iride.io/

Highway driving is the first step. Limited challenges, different problem space. Once that's completely nailed down, we'll start to see workable urban solutions.

The reality is that human drivers will be better at interacting with other human drivers in close quarters for the time being.

They're indiscriminate, so I tend to "trust" them. They don't really care what they put out, AFAIK.

It's common for favoring socialism and being in favor of intelligent regulation to be mutually exclusive.

Yes, and safety protocols have existed for a long time. My Prius has a nastily powerful battery inside it, and I can work on it all by myself, since I don't open the pack, usually, and I know how to disconnect it. It's remarkably easy.

I like the antifragile definition more. Go ahead and try to kill a 2008 Crown Vic. :)

My 315k mile 2005 Prius agrees. I got it, replaced the traction battery, got new struts, and bam, new car. I've had it for 60k miles, and I've spent more on oil changes than any repairs besides the initial outlay.

Would you agree that Amazon has bettered your life in some way? If so, then your argument loses most of its weight. Personally, I trust a corporation with money more than the federal government, for the simple reason of accountability. A business has a chance at failure if they're dumb about money. A government will always have more. It's simple, but a compelling argument.

This. I've started actually buying music for the first time ever because it sounds so good from Bandcamp.

Cool. For all those hating on grifters, I don't think anyone's in the moral right or wrong here. Spotify is trying to monetize a free service, some people don't like that. This won't affect Spotify's profits meaningfully, and the grifters will always grift.

That seam is nearly invisible in the dark.
