In my opinion, the personal threshold of 'making' says more about the remnant era in which you were raised in rather than about the specificity of the act itself? Your grandparents…

I think I've accumulated enough acronym cruft in my middling age where it has introduced serious imprecision in my language and understanding. Particularly when the recycling of ac…

Agreed.

Ye olde double edged sword On one hand aggressively punitive copyright claims stifle creativity and innovation in transformative art. On the other hand, generative AI reopens that …

This actually begs the question...why the fuck would they use THESE for an airshow? They're aesthetically identical to F18 from a ground silhouette perspective. They blew through s…

I think at a certain point you need to just call it quits with that sort of bullshit. I have my dignity. I'm a fucking grown adult. I'm not going to spend my spare time haplessly l…

SEBI wasn't bold at all. They saw them do this in January, told them in February to stop, and they persisted until they finally shut the operation off. They were tipped off as earl…

UIs tend to have a universality with how people structure their environments. Minimalism is super hot outside of software design too. Millennial Gray is a cliche for a reason. Frut…

>It is unusual to be interviewed by someone more than three levels above the position you are applying for. This happened to me, and it was by far my worst interview ever. Early on…

There's also...apartment hotels! Want hotel quality and safety with apartment perks? Just go to an apartment hotel! It costs more than a hotel/AirBnB but you're also not at the whi…

Considering this current administration, it is sadly unsurprising that the SEC most likely won't follow through with some serious penalties. It is absolutely abhorrent that an exch…

There's been some speculation about recent BH moves into small positions that Munger/Buffet don't traditionally meddle in. So it's kind of assumed that younger guys are taking more…

lol. We recently switched from Grafana to Prometheus. Reason being that a license refresh took longer to process on their end. What happens when a license expires on Grafana? They …
