I've started learning Erlang recently and I'm enjoying it. Ada and Forth have also intrigued me too, but idk if either of those are obscure

It's hard for me top put into words fully but I'll attempt. Also it's not just web development in particular but really any sort of user facing / LOB / etc. application (I've done …

I've been daydreaming recently about escaping the web / app development field as it just isn't appealing to me. I've been interested in other subfields for years, but it seems that…

I'm not overly familiar with OpenBSD (although I do want to try and play with it sometime soon) What filesystem does it use?

Yeah I grew up in the outer suburbs of the Atlanta metro and now live in the suburbs of a smaller southern city. And I see absolutely no reasons why suburban life would appeal to a…

> naughty words aren't allowed on discord (though it isn't policed that throughly). Any source on this. On all discord servers I've been on, there is little holding back on any of …

Not only that, almost every job posting I see for mainframe development wants a decade of experience working with the systems, and that's not something you can reasonably expect to…

I love vintage computing and have wanted a 5100 for a few years now. Unfortunately the only time I've ever seen one on sale was about a year or two ago and I just couldn't afford i…

It didn't work for my friend when done via Chrome on Android, and when I tried it, i got someone else's name in incognito

> There, all for free on the web no need to go back to school. Oh, I don't doubt that self teaching is an option, I've just imagined this particular subfield would place more weigh…

I currently work doing the typical line of business web app development and I'm so disallusioned with it. Web development (and really business app development period) just bores me…

Ada has always been intriguing to me. Is it used much anywhere these days?

> any profit generating device is to be a a bit distrusted and treated with somewhat skepticism. Yes, but I feel that these days, at least on the internet, speaking with skepticism…

When I was 11 or 12 I was put on anti-depressant and anti-psychotic medications (some off label). Several years later, it's discovered the company had illegally marketed one of the…

Early 20's, have heard of it, originally because memes and later out of curiosity

> Why do people use Uber Eats? I live in an area not very walkable, can't drive, and can't cook to save my life

lol I went to a local music venue a few weeks back and tried this. After inquiring about one guys shirt, he started at me for a few seconds like I was insane and turned around

I'm from the south and visited Boston earlier this year and I feel like people really overdo the whole "southerners are overly nice and in your business" and "northerners are cold,…

Was there ever a meritocracy to begin with?

I'll believe it, the problem is I'm rarely in a situation where I'm near people and have the time to chat. The only times I've talked to strangers, have been, for example, when a c…

I've never taken Amtrak, but from what I understand, it's not that great outside the northeast megalopolis. Every time I've looked at their site, it's always been only barely cheap…

> I feel the same way. I went straight into the workforce with 17. Now 5 years later I feel like I absolutely need that degree to advance my career or to simply avoid my resume bei…

That's why I don't mention being self taught anywhere in a resume. If it comes up in a phone screen or interview I'll explain, but other that, I hope "out of site, out of mind" wil…

Unfortunately a large number of states are very anti-union

> Do you know how/why Google manages at $0 per year though (with a $25 one-off fee), while Apple charges $99 per year? It's really hard for me to believe that Apple's price would s…
