Sam playing the regulatory capture game.

we need to kill off fire departments. my house has never burned down and i will never get my money's worth.

data can also be treated as signal. for example, if they know you are claiming a different income than is verifiable it signals something - good, bad, or indifferent - that they will use in algorithms.

it means the person/people firing you are so far removed from impacting the business they don't know why you were hired in the first place or why they are firing you now.

My own (anecdotal) experience tells me that increased social media use is directly proportional to increased bad feelings. Common sense tells me that increased bad feelings over time leads to bigger, worse bad feelings.

Sam and all the others. At this point, there should be required courses in college to teach this seemingly required skill to future corporate USA.

I had to do similar during the first summer of COVID to get my boat onto Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe (and most lakes in CA) requires boat inspections immediately prior to getting onto the water (mostly to prevent Quagga contamination). Those inspections had to be scheduled online during COVID, and there was similar supply & demand to what you describe for parking, so I wrote a bot that notified me (also via Pushover) when a slot became available.

Once I got the reservation I had to tow the boat 9 hours, praying the whole time I didn't have a drop of water on the boat, for which most inspectors will immediately fail you and send you away. The inspection crew there turned out to be pretty awesome though, and they actually washed my whole boat down with hot water which apparently kills any (baby? egg? idk) Quagga muscles.

I guess it depends on how and why they are used by the developer. Most of the code I write isn't bleeding edge stuff, and using a copilot as a thought partner is pretty useful.

try hammerspoon. it isn't a tiling window manager, per se - it's more of an all-purpose desktop extension framework. it is fully customizable, has a well-documented API, and a large community.

for window arrangement the hs.grid component is plenty for me. see an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRJ0477KFp8

Telecoms lobby against this because they generate big revenues servicing SMS spammers whom end-users aren't able to effectively block since the ID is trivially spoofed.

If your org has a software consultancy sales arm, you can make this shift by becoming a solutions architect. You'll get to work with sales and product to create solutions for prospective clients. A good product person will jump at the opportunity of a dedicated architect to help them with the tech portion of pitch decks.

Instead of running each small write query as the event occurs (a vote), collect them in memory and at some time interval (1m, 5m, or whatever your UX will tolerate) write them to the DB in batch with one (or a few) writes.

Ha! I fell into the same trap. I meant crypto is not a low-risk investment.
