> And it’s not like there’s anywhere to go. The real world is strip malls and axe throwing and escape rooms.

While the ersatz realms of AI regress to the mean, religious traditions chug on, bringing joy to adherents.

I've been on spacemacs.org for a while, but since I've got a Keychron G6 Pro where I can reprogram the caps lock, I'm going to try out some hard-core init.el stylings.

Suggestions welcome.

The author wants tau=2*pi, but in the Greek alphabet, tau has one vertical stroke, and pi has two.

So, visually in Greek, pi=2*tau would seem an improvement.

Oh, well.

> In 1980, 38 percent of private-sector workers had defined-benefit pension coverage. By 2023, that number had fallen to 11 percent. [15] Government workers, who have the political power to maintain the old arrangement, still have pensions at a rate of 75 percent. [15] The private sector abandoned the model because it could. I wish I’d known when I was young what I know now about government jobs.

I wish I'd had better tools for budgeting and retirement accounts.

This argument would have much more heft if it discussed 401k accounts and financial planning.

I just got a really great keyboard...except that the space bar and my Linux distro don't get along at all.

So now I have a surprise deep-dive to make this thing usable.

> C99 isn’t a compiler.

Sure, but the pojt here is that if we say "Write in X" we generally understand it to mean "Treat X like a standard and don't get too colloquial with the stylings."

Pedantry is worthwhile, but it can be a diminishing returns game.

The whole discussion consistently fails to acknowledge that, in a day where we have a Supreme Court Justice who cannot define "woman", education devolves into anarchy.

Open Source puts the onus on the user to know what they are doing.

As I am fond of saying: "The good news about Open Source is that you've got the source code; the bad news about Open Source is that _you've_ got the source code."

That is, you may well get sucked down a rabbit hole in order to accomplish a simple task.

I'm generally encouraging my two high schoolers toward:

- trades

- military service

...or some blend of the two, i.e. SeaBees or Army Corps of Engineers.

White collar/tech chops are fine as far as they go, but know how to swing a hammer or turn a wrench, say I.

Eschew debt; remain sober; stay married (not in the modern, ersatz sense); be a productive member of the community of faith.

Ain't no magic.
