No one has ever fixed their lives after 20. It only gets worse if you’re not rich as a teenager or popular online before then. Everything after 20 is just drug addiction and fighting.

That’s just not true. I was an unemployed drop out fire a while in my early 20s and got married and bought a house at 30.

My brother was a single father with a useless degree working part time at a pizza chain at 20. Through most of his 20’s he worked for a temp agency making minimum wage. Around 30 he found a job in a machine shop and they paid for his apprenticeship and now he’s their top employee. He’s in his late 30s now and is the happiest I’ve ever seen him.

Another brother I have failed a bunch of high school classes, barely graduated, then turned a crappy construction job into becoming a union carpenter in his 20s. He owns a house, got back together his high school girlfriend. They have 3 kids and are a very happy family now.

First the right then the left.

It depends is the tree puts on pants before or after being populated.

Fewer than one a month?

I guess a good heuristic is if you don’t watch one or two movies a month on Disney, you should drop Disney makes sense.

I don’t actually have any qualms with that. Power to the people!

In reality though there a planned executive order to forcing Know Your Customer rules on all US web hosts and Internet architecture, so if you’re planning on hosting a fediverse server in the US, the US government will need to know your identity.

Nope, it did initially but I think some Vulcan issues killed it.

I don’t think you need to post your address like the old days, I would never notice nor care about such an omission.

I do always look at job history, and I don’t out a lot of stock in the skills section because most of the time people lie or exaggerate there.

Yeah, I always hope though.

macOS. Apple dropped all 32 bit support and it killed my steam library years ago

Is it coming back to macs?

This is so true.

Even if you do design clean modular code and document it, you’re getting a question a year from now about how it works, or someone just duct tapes on top of it.

You know, this a good thing. Now nobody else can do it, so I just need to never buy a Roku.

History is written by the squashers.

But I thought we cold have free support in realtime with security updates for free forever?

Just one review request?

It’s actually a programming text editor theme for many many years

That actually sounds pretty cool

Sometimes what I’d like to be able to do is treat part of an app as a core and the rest like user provided scripts, but written and evaluated in the host language and not running an embedded scripting language like lua with all the extra burden.

E.g. you have an image editor and you want the user to be able to write native functions to process the image. Or you have a game engine and you want to inject new game code from the user without the engine being a compiler or the game logic being bundled scripts.

Some people hate that C is dangerous, but personally I like its can-do attitude.

“Hey C, can I write over the main function at runtime?”

Sure, if you want to, just disable memory protection and memcpy whatever you want there! I trust you.

It’s a great attitude for a computer to have.

That’s the entire point of an IPO.

I’m sure Steve Huffman is worried that redditors are shorting the stock as it went from $34 to $59.80 since IPO.

A rough estimate is Huffman just made at least $102M from the IPO ($136M existing stock plus $193M in options and RSUs, at plus 75% increase in value) taking his net worth to at least $575M.

He gets a $20M bonus if the stock doesn’t tank by 50% for two weeks too.

Realistically he got his shares at a much much lower price so his gains are massively outsized.

IPOs are a scam, they lower the price for banks arbitrarily then claim it as a success when the numbers pop at launch, which is clearly a market failure where the insiders get first pick and ability to cash out. The SEC should jail any bankers who work on an IPO that increases by 30% on launch day for fraud and collusion.

I’m the product of two failures with histories of depression, so I just feel like every ounce of joy costs a pound of numbness. No exploitation or too much joy needed.
