If you haven't already read it Ben Rich's Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed is truly excellent read. Highly recommended.

It's been years since I cracked open a copy, maybe I should give it another shot.

>there is indeed a huge logical error at the heart of the whole enterprise but it was not discovered until much later by Kurt Gödel.

Which leads us to our next borderline impenetrable book, Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter.

I'm right there with you bud. I just wish it wasn't such a pain to get my hands on a bottle here in Portland so much of the time. So many cocktail nerds to compete with.

Now I want a Last Word, is quarter after two too early for a cocktail?

It's just not my day.

That was sloppy work on my part. Updated.

At least we can be reasonably confident an LLM didn't write the article.

>I'm using the sonnet at work.

>I have never liked split keyboards but I might if each keyboard was also a mouse with its own cursor

>I've got 10Gbps fiber at home (egregious, I know), and the only OpenWRT router I found that can saturate it is the Turris Omnia NG[0]. The price tag is a notch up from others but it's legitimately one of the best pieces of hardware I've ever owned.

Kelly's 15th rule was actually "Starve before doing business with the damned Navy. They don't know what the hell they want and will drive you up a wall before they break either your heart or a more exposed part of your anatomy."

HDMI is largely unidirectional.

Too bad it won't be RJK Jr.

You just know that engineers and management in Toyota's delusional hydrogen division are salivating.

I've never actually used SCCS was it that bad? I'd have thought that alcoholism would have been enough to numb the pain.

Where does that leave the SCCS people?

I still have mine sitting on a shelf in my office.

For network engineers is there really any difference between an excavator taking out your network and an actual apocalypse?

Neither of these guys has friends.

Forgive me, I wasn't baiting. I was just trying to elude to the fact that a substantial percentage of the American population can not afford to get a doctor to prescribe them medication and often can not afford to fill that prescription. The lack of insurance and prevalence of underinsurance in the US very likely an important aspect of what we're talking about.

What percentage of the US population that finds themselves in need of an SSRI or similar medication can afford to obtain and fill such a prescription as compared with citizens of EU countries that enjoy universal healthcare?

Unless your plan is to eliminate La Marzocco machines from the secondary market by rapidly buying up the old machines, at a substantial premium, and leasing all future machines I'm pretty sure you'd run into difficulty implementing any sort of mandatory certification requirement.
