not OP but as a native, that's a speech-to-text error 100%

i'm 55 in 10 days. I get a discount at the golf course!

Serious question...where is this happening? I've been a job-hopper all my life. I'm 54, and i've never felt i was being discriminated against. I keep hearing about agism...is it mo…

I'm in my 4th week of my first class. I'm 54. I have a CS undergrad from 1996. I too caught the ML bug and...this first class is kicking my butt but I'm LOVING the experience. Qual…

i've been all over the place. khan academy was really good for calculus, but man, the linear algebra lectures are really long, w/ no quizzes to keep you practicing. Have read parts…

ha! glad i can put a smile on you young whippersnappers faces :-). Man, your whole life you are called a young man over and over again, and then you stop getting called that, and t…

I'm actually mostly relying on textbooks, and only when i get stuck i'm trying to see if i can get unstuck w/ chatgpt. So far it has worked. I'm only using it b/c i don't have a te…

yeah my approach so far has been: try 3.5 until i am disappointed in the results (hasn't failed me yet), once it does, pay for the upgraded version and see how that goes (totally w…

totally valid question. tbh, i think i need my head examined :-) the main points here are: 1) i've been pulling things out of DBs and putting them on web pages for 30 years, and al…

I am 53 and cramming while relearning linear algebra, statistics, and calculus, after a 30 year break from college, in preparation for my first semester at GA Tech's online MS CS p…

we spend so much time w/ our co-workers. If i can make some genuine friendships by being myself, that's far more valuable to me than 'keeping my job'.

i had an anal fissure for some time (6 weeks) and it was also unbearable. opiods didn't help at all. the drs told me something about them not working in that part of the body. hot …

that was fantastic, but i feel it's cheating a bit when you just make fun of yourself for being fat for 3 straight minutes. If you took away the obesity, i wonder if it'd have been…

are you allowed to show up armed, in case they are waiting for you? If you end up in a shootout, will you be considered the aggressor? Seems dangerous to me

I'm with you. In my 20's, I was crippled with anxiety when trying to talk to any female I was interested in. After two marriages (very happy in my second), I feel like I could go o…

I'm curious why one wouldn't just move 100% into cash if you are expecting a crash. The S&P500 index fund would go down for a while in the case of a crash, right? I'm struggling wi…

Coober Pedy was highlighted in an episode of Instant Hotel on Netflix here https://www.netflix.com/title/81023011

Pro Tip: keep the deceased's phone active as long as possible so that, even if you have all their passwords, you might still need it for 2FA. My father was murdered last year, and …

Location: Charleston, SC, USA Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No, but occasional travel to the home office is fine Technologies: Ruby/Rails, React, AWS/serverless (Lambdas, API Ga…

I did! I can't tell you how exciting it was to be hired to help a company enhance the https://github.com/spree/spree extension I authored. It was the most rewarding phase of a 20+ …

Programming _is_ like riding a bike...after a brief reimmersion. Maybe a little wobbly at first, but it's never taken me long to jump back into something that used to be an old fri…

"As a manager, you should never share such things with someone who reports to you." Sharing a human moment (being upset that a superior is sick) w/ a subordinate is off-limits?

Charleston, SC. Moved here to escape the Washington D.C. rat race after 9/11. It's great here, but word has gotten out and prices have gone up significantly (nothing like LA) over …
