Yes, although I still worked on my own projects.

I have drifted from professional to other for many years.

Now that I have coded for two generations now, I often think I should have chosen some main occupation that was not a sit down job.

But it is what it is, and I will probably program more than anything else for the rest of my working life

I’ve lived in Texas for a while so can’t help but be exposed to more of this horrible person, who has been in office for a very long time.

Easily one of the most corrupt USA politicians ; or at least less careful about his deeds.

I confess I find this somewhat humorous reading new crime done by this man.

He has done hundreds of crimes and frauds, and most articles propose that the crime they are writing about is bad, somehow ignoring all the other crimes.

It gets funnier after reading the first score of crimes. It’s like a drinking game?

Been coding for decades: burned out several times. I always return later after other jobs

I think the most job satisfaction I ever had was demolishing a house, another good thing for me was delivering pizzas.

Until we get to net-zero emissions, extreme weather will only get worse

Am I wrong in thinking extreme weather will get worse for a very long time, thousands of years, even after zero emissions? The co2 is not removed after that, and the warming and cooling cycle will disrupt things for at least 30,000 years even if we reached that goal today ?

The Ukrainian revolution had from the very start an anti corruption message. Politicians have both taken advantage and undermined it. This week is not unexpected. Zelenskyy backtracking today is not unexpected. Him using smoke and mirrors, in his new idea, to avoid undermining political allies will not be unexpected next month.

It is utterly predictable that this newspaper will issue similar editorial later.

One day there will be not so much corruption in the life blood of Ukrainian politics. But not soon. Maybe in a generation?

People know instinctively when they are dating up, down or have impossible dreams.

The reasons for that is as varied as there are people, but we all have primate brains and are hard wired to select partners using criteria that can be and are amazingly flexible

This is nothing to worry about

That is ok; it was easy to misunderstand and that is why I edited it over

I avoid using sarcasm tags

USA: Humanism and mercy are fine, but don’t use them too much, or for every group

I suspect the reaction would have been less if the Christian themed camps were spared.

Even so, I doubt even these protests can do much

at least some of the “clearance” in the past was just picking a random black person and stringing them up then going out for doughnuts

I think the extra surveillance is stopping this enough for it to be a major source of the trend

Vibe coding is the refuge of the incompetent, and has enough shock and awe to part fools with their money .

While I am biased, having coded too many lines, over the years, for my own good; I believe it is a healthy bias grounded in experience

I don’t understand the interest in these calls for justice, given that Trump has probably raped over a thousand people by now, over the decades, and he is untouchable whether he is president or not. And the only way to prosecute him is by revolution.

What I think is happening is that people are trying to prod the failed USA justice system to show some spark of life, and a lot of the rage here is more about impotent fury over the protection of these thugs, as much as over the crimes

Rumors to this day state it pulses to a Gregorian chant

That does not have to be a contradiction

Heh, I was managing tabs on Firefox a generation ago
