I'm considering getting a mining rig to heat my house as an alternative to gas.

Ethereum removed the 100M soft cap on EIP 669.

This was quietly slipped through with no debate. ETH shouldn't be trusted.

Once you have enough money, you can focus on passion projects.

He clearly hasn't and will never be fulfilled.

I became extremely bullish on BTC after Ethereum removed their 100M soft cap on EIP 669.

It paid off.

Compete or die. I have 2 computers that can't run Firefox at a usable speed. No way to figure out the problem.

My fresh computer works fine.

And I'm currently using the Android app. It's buggy, but it could be Facebook or the Google keyboard. Chrome has different problems. Duck duck go has been my newest install. I still need to transfer over.

It's incredibly deceptive headline. But then again I'd expect people doing ML to know better.

But given Apple's marketing reputation, it's all about appealing to customers that have no idea what this means. They won't know, but it's sounds good.

All this fuss about a processor when no serious computations get done with a processor.

Since the early 2010s, people stopped buying high end processors in favor of high end gpus.

I genuinely wonder if Intel has stopped trying to Innovate because it wasn't being rewarded.

And just like that, big tech becomes an oligarchy.

That, or Europe becomes further disconnected to the rest of the world.

This is the criticism of farmers.

I know a guy who made a fool of himself for becoming an enthusiast, starting a company promoting vertical farming, only to find out the Economics don't work.

On a similar note I recommend engineers get Engineering jobs, not business jobs. The money is tempting, but you will never learn about specifications and quality metrics otherwise. (Note I'm not including programmers as engineers)

Do not fret. This would have been the inevitable cycle of a gaming company.

Programmers make a hit Game. It's successful and the sequel brings in top developers and lots of resources. The sequel is fantastic.

Then game 3. Programmers have left the company, the company goes full Apple and increases marketing budget with a game focused of gimmicky features rather than Quality.

The third game is a let down, but not awful.

And for the next 7 games the IP is milked and milked.

We are getting to negative interest rates. A USD Hyperinflation event is absolutely possible.

At my last Engineering job, I would spend slow time working on job automation.

That was until my boss flipped his shit one day and wanted me to memorize a bunch of shit in my down time.

So instead of automating 6 figure Engineering jobs, I did what everyone else does on their slow Time. Facebook!

It's hard to see when the constant privacy commercials contradict their performance.

It's legitimate gaslighting.

Or G. Social Engineering.

"Ah yes we are from IT and found suspicious behavior, we need to reset your password, can you provide it immediately? No? Okay well we will be contacting your manager immediately for insubordination. You may want to gather your belongings.

Ok, any capital letters?"

I'm interested in using vim, but I'm not thrilled about trying to set up debuggers when an IDE has it for you.

Maybe I'm over complicating it, anyone have a python based suggestion?

As a note, I do not have local admin but Vim is installed already.

People are really enjoying WFH and don't want it to end. It's important to keep the fear strong.

Meanwhile, I am baffled we didn't prioritize n95(or kn95) masks. Well... It's government, I'm not that baffled

A significantly more rational policy would have been to prioritize masks with filters and for the less than 1/12 of elderly people who live with younger generations, move them into a hotel room and pay for food delivery and care services.

All of this is cheaper and healthier than what was done.

Variables and nouns are easy to translate. Sentence meaning is significantly harder.

The user made it clear that are in love. Love is not rational.

It also explains the abuse Apple customers take.

It's a veblen good. Quality is secondary to cost.

The entire point is to be impractical.
