It's like the US in a decade. (I have been to both and would rather spend a week in Cape Town than Chicago for example)

My South African colleague tells me he is happy that you have adopted him.

Well exactly. It's not exactly as if there aren't enough well defined archetypes, methodologies and historical outcomes that fit this.

There are plenty of engineers that won't work there because of Musk. Being divisive and unpredictable is not a good characteristic and not how you run a business. Basically there a…

Err he's South African, probably shouldn't even be in the US if judged by the same standards as any other immigrant, Cybercab is a shit show and the campaign support was the sort o…

Great to hear of another user :)

Finance

Buying shares in popcorn here. Our company, US based, thinks this is bad enough that we have contingency plans for his presidency.

It’s easy. Lift and shift, then fuck it up by not quite completely migrate everything to numerous badly managed kubernetes clusters. That’s what we did.

Assuming the incumbent doesn't push through legislation to change that. Not sure how enshrined in constitution that is so can't comment on the feasibility of it.

Wise person. Wish we hadn't. Managed to multiply costs 8x (no joke).

Yeah. Well it's CCP or USA and as an outside observer I'm not sure which one is worse at the moment.

Don’t think it’s going to work. Even with 100% tariff on EV imports they will still be financially competitive with locally produced vehicles. Or they build local.

near the end of the thinking yes.

I've used both extensively. I disagree with this. I dislike the HP48 series but I dislike the TI89 more. It's probably because most people don't understand how to use the 50G prope…

Some of us (mathematics side) still actually work on paper with calculators. Most of the job is thinking which tooling doesn’t necessarily improve.

You just write the stuff down or translate it to LaTeX. Incidentally the 50G (and Prime) has a decent CAS built in which seems to get stuck less than some other commercial ones.

I never liked the 48 series or the 50G (I own both) that much. I can never remember how to use them half of the time. I always end up back with my 38 year old HP 15c. That has done…

Zero. There are compliance and regulatory requirements that they have to meet for the license. An evil megacorp from hell I worked for had no problems in any of the left states oth…

To be fair he does keep walking into it. Promise stuff, deliver it either 5 years after he said he would or not at all. The beating should continue until the situation improves.

No he used that line to bolster investment interest but he really wanted a platform which he controlled.

I think this only confirms he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. These auto designers really need to spend a few months at the NTSB or an air accident investigation agency befor…

Yeah I’m currently using lightroom for my mirrorless. I export that to photos then share / keep the flattened images in there.

Yeah this. Aperture was a mess. Some of the "full" edit tools from Aperture are actually lurking in Photos which is a fairly competent photo editor on macOS surprisingly. I think t…

Great news. Hopefully this will drive enough improvements to finally get me off adobe. Photomator is nearly good enough to replace Lightroom and Pixelmator is much nicer than photo…
