In-person vocal lessons and consistent practice have dramatically improved my voice from terrible to half-decent.
This is my fear - what happens if the AI companies can't find a path to profitability and shut down?
The best part was how the users moderated behaviour - bad actors were ejected swiftly but rarely permanently.
Those who ignore it will be overweight, unfit, and on daily meds. Those who change their lifestyle will not.
The fix is:
> Leading a healthy life is simple: sleep well, exercise three times a week, have an active social life, eat a variety of vegetables and whole foods, avoid sugar, processed foods, alcohol and drugs. That's 90%. Everything else is optimisation.
Tangerine (formally ING Direct) in Canada only has 6-digit PINs and SMS 2FA
TD Canada Trust only supports SMS 2FA
PC Financial only supports SMS 2FA
Make? In 25 years as a professional developer I have never encountered make in the enterprise.
At least cover the various generic _models_ behind a few of the modern build tools so students can understand both the commonality and the differences between say NX, NPM, Maven, Gradle, go build etc.
Maybe a class on CI/CD pipelines, too.
I zoomed on Firefox on MacOS and the two finger scroll stops working. The scrollbar appears momentarily so I grabbed it but it jumps to the next article and scrolls left, which pushes the next article off the page to the right.
> How? Does the site pay for subscription for every newspaper?
Someone with a subscription logs into the site, then archives it. Archive.is uses the current user's session and can therefore see the paywalled content.
That's a bit reductive. Programmers write code; engineers build systems.
I'd argue that you still need engineers for architecture, system design, protocol design, API design, tech stack evaluation & selection, rollout strategies, etc, and most of this has to be unambiguously documented in a format LLMs can understand.
While I agree that the value of code has decreased now that we can generate and regenerate code from specs, we still need a substantial number of experienced engineers to curate all the specs and inputs that we feed into LLMs.
I know a few musicians that tried to make a living out of music similar to your story. Most have now stopped making music and are both frustrated with the music industry, and angry at listeners for not valuing their work.
The downside was that once the hot water was gone, we had to wait until the next day for more. The last person to shower occasionally got a cold shower.
On-demand systems win here.
> global data was stolen between April 2024 and September 2025 and includes personal and contact information of the companies’ customers and employees, including dates of birth, purchase histories and passport numbers.

This is an important reality in consulting. The consultancy cannot keep their best people sitting idle while the clients spend months completing the paperwork.
And it's not just a billability issue. The A team people don't like being underutilized and will find seek employment if they're kept idle too long.
That said, savvy clients will include "named key resources" in the contract to ensure continuity between the sales team and the project team.
PRs should be optional, IMHO. Not all changes require peer review, and if we trust our colleagues then we should allow them to merge their branch without wasting time with performative PRs.

> Around the same time, Goldberg was trained in a program that uses a different strategy for teaching children how to read words. The program is called "Systematic Instruction in Phonological Awareness, Phonics, and Sight Words," or SIPPS.24 It's a phonics program that teaches children how to sound out words and uses what are known as "decodable books." Most words in the books have spelling patterns that kids have been taught in their phonics lessons.
