I use the Hosts file to block a ton of ads and that works really well. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Something worth considering if your ad blocker isn't working well.

Bio: I have a bias towards action and building things. As a developer, architect and team lead, I get my hands dirty throughout the entire process. From ideation through development all the way to production and support. I'm the guy that can take a small team of engineers and in few months build a product you can trust is reliable, secure, stable and sellable. Hire me and unleash my potential, you won't regret it.
Imagine deploying highly tested, secure and scalable code rapidly to meet your business' ever increasing needs. Imagine working with a professional that works at all levels of the stack, from building the APIs, setting up the infrastructure to working with designers to implement your vision. From clean & secure code to building robust solutions that can scale up quickly, that's exactly what I do. From working as a solo contributor, lead and architect to managing teams of a dozen or more developers; I can help you build your tech organization to help you achieve your digital goals.
I can help you pull the right levers to get your application running smoothly, fix your compliance issues and secure your customers data. I'm part cyber security engineer, architect, devops engineer and developer.
I think this is probably a unique case that hasn't happened much, because most banks that have failed where the smaller ones in 2008.
I vote that the FDIC insure and require insurance for accounts up to $5,000,000. But after you exceed that amount, you can no longer deposit money at that bank. Like the $250,000 limit on insurance should mean that you are capped at $250,000 in balance.
Instead, I have a 3400 sq ft house on 10,000 sq ft of land with giant trees everywhere. I'm within 2 miles of lightrail, that I will never use.
I work from home, I have a home office with a indoor, led powered garden with fresh fruit and flowers year round.
My wife works 30 minutes from home, she's a school teacher. We wanted to live closer to her school but we'd get a much smaller house with no parking and no room for the kids and dogs to play.
Again, why would I buy near or in any city? 15 minutes from downtown Denver is to close for my taste.
I love theatre, I love restaurants but honestly, I hate driving in Denver. The traffic sucks. I love driving. I love craft coffee, my house is 1 mile from the coffee factory that makes the coffee whole foods uses; I enjoy a craft coffee from that place once in a while.
Why is walkable so desired? When it's cold (like today) I don't want to leave my car. I'd drive through any day, I'd drive just to avoid walking half a mile.
Denver banned the scooters and other options from lyft and bird, so I have to lug my giant body from location to location? No thanks, I'll take my 4000 pound car to the restaurant instead.
Then I'll go home, enjoy my big beautiful yard and not worry about living in the city.
I don't go to the gym, instead I have a treadmill and a bike in my basement. If I want to do something, I just get in my car and go. I want to get a solar system and buy an electric car but so far no one will install on my style of roof
The really cool thing about nuclear is that the plant can dial up production of power based on demand. In the summer they can rapidly scale up demand to allow people to cool their houses.
Nuclear is really the environmentally friendly choice. Wind turbines at end of life aren't recyclable nor are solar panels
Here's one source that supports the 7-9% range over the last 30 years: https://www.sofi.com/learn/content/average-stock-market-retu....
1920 to 2022: 7.38% (adjusted for inflation) https://www.officialdata.org/us/stocks/s-p-500/1920?amount=1...
1989 to 2022: 7.4% (adjusted for inflation) https://www.officialdata.org/us/stocks/s-p-500/1989?amount=1...
Overall I expect that I should be able to happily draw $140,000+ a year during retirement and have that NEVER run out. My wife is a teacher and should be able to pull $40,000-50,000 during retirement as well. Medical would be taken through her retirement plan. Household income between $150,000 and $200,000 during retirement.
Honestly? I don't want to retire. Why would I? I love working on computers, from my basement office and working remotely is great. I have a kid, I would expect to take 2-3, months off a year for less money, but that's not a problem to me.
What would I do with retirement? Clean my house more? walk my dogs more? travel more? Maybe? Work is great and just find something / someone you like working for, have enough fuck you money to not care if you get fired and the rest is gravy.
I think I'm far more likely to leave the programming career (web development) and pursue a masters in something like quantum computing or physics than I am to retire.
Person> I need to find files on my computer I don't need delete them all.

Person -- Crap what is going on with my computer. Lets unplug it. Plugged back in. Now it won't turn on... Gotta call IT support now.
``` foo(bar(baz(new_function(other_function())))) ```
They offer this example of an improvement:
``` other_function() |> new_function() |> baz() |> bar() |> foo() ```
While yes, pipes improve readability, how do they deal with errors? How do they deal with understanding what each thing is supposed to return?
I would prefer something like this, (descriptive variable names):
``` var userData = other_function();
var userDetails = new_function(userData);
var userComments = baz(userDetails);
var userPosts = bar(userComments);
var finalUserDetails = foo(userPosts);
return finalUserDetails; ```
Then I can easily debug each step, I can easily understand what each call is supposed to do, if I'm using type script, I can assign types to each variable.
I strongly oppose clean code for the sake of looking pretty, or being quick to type. Code is meant to be run and read more then written, it should be descriptive, it should describe what it's doing not a nasty chain of gibberish. Hence why most people hate REGEX.
