Fair enough. It's hard to imagine a worse DMV, but anything is possible!

Well, it couldn't make the DMV any worse.

This kind of activity is exactly what I hate about Github and the new and unimproved "open source community". No one cares you updated your vimrc file. Nobody wants to see another …

Odd to me, I have always been the "fun parent" the kids wants to play with constantly. My wife probably feels like he does, but she basks in it because it's finally time for her to…

I thought "minimal job board" was like, minimal UI, simple and clean. I didn't know it meant very few jobs.

The thing that pushed me over the edge was browsing personal sites I found via http://wiby.me/ I was reading fairly old gamedev, emulation and other blogs. The content and spirit o…

Neither require sharing publicly (ie, blog). Other than for the vanity/upvotes/etc.

The data isn't always accurate. Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it's not happening often. Your perception isn't always correct. Anecdote, I spent some time wand…

One of my last memories in SF was around 4th and King where I watched a man steal from Walgreens, grab a person's handbag and run past a police officer and down the street. The off…

I used to blog and quit (pulled all of my content from the web). I still have a landing page, which serves as a general "This is who I am, I'm a real person" because I have a busin…

There are some good thoughts in there, but it fails to answer the actual question. Why publish a blog? Sure, writing has benefits. You don't need a blog to write. You don't need a …

Kind of upset they didn't leverage a corny phrase like "the buck stops here".

Music with no vocals (classical, chiptune, etc) can work pretty well as long as you don't go down the rabbit hole of "finding music to listen to" every 15 minutes.

Dang that's a lot of karma!

The simplest guide to NNs I have ever read is this one: http://www.ai-junkie.com/ann/evolved/nnt1.html It's an old site and guide, but probably still the easiest to understand if y…

I built my own "music streamer" for this. Basically takes any folder as an argument and recursively goes down and sucks up all music files and serves them via a web interface with …

Opposite for me-- music causes daydreaming and other issues. I'm much better off with ear plugs and silence. No more looking for music to listen to, watching random videos or day d…

Ear plugs to drown out sound. Don't use headphones. Stay as unconnected as you can from the machine (no Youtube/music/etc).

I didn't enjoy stepping over human feces when walking down the street every day, carefully dodging used needles on the sidewalks or watching homeless people piss or shit in front o…

Even then it's not worth it. When I was commuting to and from the city for work there would be 1-2 suicide attempts (or successes) every month and train delays for hours. I don't i…

Sounds like SF to me. It has never been "nice". I was commuting to and from work there for over a year back in ~2015 and it was hell then. I interviewed around 2017 in SF and it wa…

No one is saying the behavior is acceptable. I'm thinking if I were a company, I'd be pretty keen on replacing humans with AI as soon as possible.
