He was probably able to do his own luring, as opposed to Epstein’s crowd.

In the case of the craft beer market, it’s not nearly as overhyped as it once was.

Millenials were also big on the whole craft beer thing (at least in North America, not sure how that trend played out in the rest of the world).

Nah, that sounds an awful lot like work. I’m just going to take the cash and fuck off to into the woods somewhere.

I like to be as honest with myself as I can. I too would run screaming into the night, but only after confirming that the money was actually deposited in my account.

Those two sentences just prove that the whole thing is made up. If he started coding in the 60s, he’d have to be over 80 now.

that complexity could easily be

That phrase has proven to be a source of endless headaches any time someone in charge is stupid enough to believe the person that tries to sell them that.

Single-user setups don’t need server-farm complexity.

True, but Linux devs only have a limited amount of time. It’s far easier to take a system that can handle server-farm complexity and apply it to a single user use case, than it is to take a system meant for single users and try to scale it up to a server farm, or to maintain two separate systems.

Yeah. You can add Canada to the confused list. Is “pot noodle” ramen or something?

A government promising it’s worth something carries a hell of a lot more weight than some random tech-bro promising it.

Wrong definition there bud.

We don’t need to abolish all Christmas songs; the kids tend to like them. We just need to abolish that one Mariah Carey one.

Well now I want to eat a cheese based stew. That sounds delicious.

Well fuck.

It’s not arbitrary at all. In fact it’s the entire point.

Current tech layoffs are mostly a result of over hiring during the pandemic. Blaming AI is just the sales pitch to investors try to prove that the AI spending was worth it.

I’m thinking you might have been wrong. Even without AI, I don’t foresee demand for compute going down. Even if everything went over to ARM, I think that would have just slowed the rate of new builds.

Canals were at least solving a problem that actually existed and needed solving at the time when they were started. AI data centres are being built in anticipation of future demand, for use cases that haven’t been developed yet.

Those last seasons lost me too. I haven’t really tried watching any of the new show either, but that’s mostly because I’m not a big fan of prequels. I tend to lose interest when I already know how it all turns out.

Give me something like an action-adventure show of Arya sailing west, and I’d absolutely watch that.

I’d bet a good amount of money that prices never do go back down, just like what happened with video cards after the crypto mining craze.
