Make sure you adjust your faucets so they won’t go full hot. Don’t want to scald someone.

I bring my own because scent is an irritant.

Have a 4a. Have never heard of this.

We use our (really mine, but hey...) Mini 5 for reading PDFs, reading ebooks (when I can't find my kindle), a quick terminal session to my server to check stuff, menus at restaurants for take-out, and really just keep it laying around to look stuff up as we need to (recipes, school schedules, etc.). It's pretty handy to just have it easily accessible.

What else are they going to spend $2.5T on?

This looks really good, but my mini 5 is still plenty powerful for what I use it for. I do like the TouchID placement and wish they would bring that to iPhones.

> Housing is anything from a third to 50%

This is way too much. We just finished paying off our current house and our payment was around 14% of our net. We are high earners in a low CoL area so the house is really nice, but wasn't very expensive. I can't imagine being "house poor" after this.

> I think wages (in AU, at least) already render many small businesses unviable.

Probably an unviable business no matter the wage. People cannot be depended on to subsidize someone's business by accepting crappy wages.

> Either wages need to rise or house prices need to fall.

Raising wages in not in the best interest of share holders.

You may be underestimating how significant $20-$30 is to some people.

Edit: wording.

Politicians don't have anonymity and yet we see plenty of fuckwad politicians.

We all know minimum wage will only be 18.50/hr by then, though.

The gulf is HOT right now. And that heat goes pretty deep.

I wonder if we'll see a Michael situation, where Ida just continues to intensify as it closes in on land.

Exactly. Because nobody should ever use their dev skills to build up their understanding of a tool by recreating some aspect of it.

c) choosing a platform that over complicates things and requires tooling that most developers use but never quite understand.

>>150 grand is not a huge family income to support 2 adults and 3 kids

An awful lot of families are doing this on 1/3 of that amount.

It started with the 24 hour news introduced with cable. In order to fill 24 hours, they started adding more fluff and opinion. Then slowly opinion started getting treated like fact. Even broadcast news favors opinion over fact now[0].

[0] Or seems to at least.

Two knots: bowline and trucker’s hitch. You’ll need them one day.

I keep a couple lengths of rope (550) next to my desk. When I’m pondering a challenging problem and I can’t take a walk, I practice knots. I find it to be a very good way to get my head completely off the problem and yet easy to stop so I can start working again.

I bet they don’t. If they did they don’t now.

Why the passive aggression?

Pretty sure that someone would be prosecuted for violating the CFAA.

Not saying that’s right, just that’s my commentary on the state of things today.

I like Here We Go, except for the name. It isn’t as polished as others but I find it good enough to trust it. It has great support for offline as well.

This comes around every so often, with the same claim, then disappears.

Had KFC a few weeks ago for the first time in forever. The MBAs have optimized the flavor right out of it. Biscuits tasted like flour. Only flavor the chicken had was the seasoning in the batter.

That and there are laws that never go away, like not spitting on the sidewalk or not chewing gum on a Sunday.

Being ignorant of Earth law does not mean one cannot break Earth law.

That mail bug is annoying. I don't get why Apple can't push their apps out to their app store and update them separately so it doesn't take an iOS update. The only reason I can think of is to force people to always stay on the latest iOS version, but that's anti-user, so surely that's not the reason. ;)

I get poopoo'd every time I say it, but I think eventually Windows will be a UI on top of Linux.

And yet another is to run for office.
