The numbers are FAKE. How else can you describe a 30% downward revision in jobs numbers this year?

I unironically love the band Winger. They’re probably most famous now for becoming instantly uncool once Mike Judge drew Stewart in a Winger tshirt on Beavis and Butthead in the 90s.

The thing is though, they’re amazing musicians. Kip Winger is premiering another one of his classical works with the Nashville Symphony in the next few weeks. Reb Beach is one of the most skilled and melodic guitar players to come out of the 80s. They wrote and continue to write some great songs too if you like that kind of music.

Music snobbery is just silly, and robs you of the joy of discovering some great new music while simultaneously robbing others of it too. Everybody loses.

As someone who writes a lot of RoR and typescript at work, I find I’m generally happier and more satisfied after completing a ticket in typescript.

It seems counterintuitive because Ruby is generally more expressive and readable than JavaScript. In theory, Ruby should be the “happy” language. I think it really just comes down to confidence that what I’ve written will work properly at runtime. There’s always a nagging paranoia with Ruby that I’ve missed adding a safe nav operator or forgotten an .is_a? somewhere, and those mistakes have led to embarrassing production issues in the past.

Typescript is far from perfect, but I experience a lot less bugs when writing code in it.

Please no. There are many alternative cross-platform password managers one can use instead. Please don’t make my software and devices suckier and harder to use to appease some EU bureaucrat.

What makes you think Bitwarden can’t indiscriminately axe your account?

You’re incredibly far off base. I’m not a libertarian in the least. I’m all for well run government that uses its money to help its citizens. Unfortunately we don’t have that kind of government. But if you want give even more of your paycheck to help fuel the war machine and fund bloated useless department of redundancy departments be my guest.

I don’t really object to taxation of winnings like this in principle. It’s knowing that said money is essentially being thrown into the financial black hole that is the United States government that bothers me. The unending waste of it all, and yet people want to give even more money to them.

Use your phone and spend your money on lighting and audio (mic and interface). You can make your video look very professional with good lighting. Bad lighting + expensive camera == amateur looking video. No matter how good the image is, with poor audio no one will watch it.
