College radio is still a thing. I've discovered some good music via WRUV (UVM). WERS (Emerson College) dropped the Rockers reggae show when they changed their programming back in 2013, but I should try streaming again and see what it's like these days.
Are we watching the next sacrificial infra build-out happen (Global Crossing/Iridium), where eventually a bankruptcy will lead to affordability? Is this an artificial semiconductor demand peak with rapid expansion due to business FOMO? Will semi manufacturing ramp up to meet this peak, leading to a glut? Will this be like the pandemic supply chain whiplash impact on outdoor gear (Kona Bicycles at one point was offering a BOGO deal)?
Every once in a while, I have to figure out an IntelliJ indexing issue. I've got a personal Claude sub and access to Claude for work, so will not be using the JetBrains AI sub. If the indexing gets worse, or paying more for their AI becomes mandatory, I'll be done and back to Emacs, which is what I've been using for Claude anyway. Not there yet tho.
I asked a former truck driver once and his answer was that it's easier to see what's in front of you than behind you. I wondered why people in our neighborhood backed into their driveways at first, then I realized this was indeed true. If I turn into the street and back into my driveway, somebody probably hasn't jumped behind my car. If I get in my car and back out of my driveway, somebody walking/biking along may not notice my car backing out of the driveway, and my old potato backup camera isn't always the best at illuminating people behind my car at night in bad weather.
Every. Time. No, I'm not interested in something with a similar name on the other side of the planet, I'm interested in the thing that is a 10-20min. drive away from me.
