He (or more likely, the advisors with their hands up his ass) is starting to freak out about the empty ports out west. We probably have another week or two until the lack of goods starts showing up on store shelves and consumer confidence falls off a cliff. Problem is, even if we reached an agreement with China today, it'll take 30+ days for ships to reach our ports.

Weed is very habbit forming. Addiction might be too strong a word for weed. But oh boy is it habbit forming. Ppl who deny this, are in denial.

They're also in denial about it making you dumber if you smoke frequently. When I still smoked, it became obvious to me that my thoughts were slower and I'd have trouble finding the right words when I started smoking nearly every night. Took a T break and cut back to weekends only and the problem went away.

Every time this happens to me I head out into the garden or walk through the woods. Usually clears it up for a while.

Occupy didn't have any sort of leadership or organization, the movement quickly fragmented into a million little factions.

This article is a nothing burger. It's assertion is that both Obama and Trump used DHS for domestic surveillance... Yeah, no shit, that's literally what Jr. created it for.

I wonder if you'd get better mileage out of a high efficiency 12v brick, and a 5v and 3.3v DC-DC converter? Without changing your hardware out for a NUC or Raspberry Pi, I'm not sure if you can really go lower power. Maybe install a solar panel on your balcony for free electricity lol

Give me one year paid family leave and Medicare for all, then we'll talk.

Fixed that for them.

I agree that it will continue to be a useful tool. I've gotten a similar productivity boost using AI auto-complete as I did from regular auto-complete. It's also pretty good at identifiying potential uses with code, again, a similar productivity boost as a good linter. The chatbot does make a good sounding board, especially when you don't remember the name of the concept you are trying to implement or need to pro-con two solutions and you can't find articles about it.

But all these claims of 10x improvements in development speed are horse shit. Yeah, you might be able to shit out a 5-10,000 LOC tutorial app in an hour or two with prompt engineering, but try implementing a feature in a 100,000 LOC codebase and it promptly shits the bed: hallucinating internal frameworks, microservices, ignoring internal practices, writing straight up non-functional code, etc. I'd you spend enough time prompting it, you can eventually massage the solution you need out of it; problem is, it took longer to do that than writing the damn thing yourself.

I have never used a MS account for local login but it sounds to me like it just leads to people using insecure passwords for publicly reachable accounts because they don’t want to type a long password every time logging into their computer.

I guess that's what the PIN feature is for, even though you're Personal Identification Number can have letters...

If they were in the retention department, it might have been because they knew there was nothing they could say to keep you. It reflects badly on them when they can't "save" a customer.
