> I’d be hugely surprised if there isn’t a huge rise over the next 4 months followed by a collapse.

It's because bitcoin is a pyramid scheme.

Who are liberal, modern day liberal, which is worse.

Considering Fox is the only reputable news outlet left, I don't support the negative connotation you imply.

The question then becomes which is better, the current big 6 or the new big 6 headed by Netflix.

What other sources do you use, I ask as an over 30 something who wants to see how the other half lives?

Industrial and Residential Electricity. We learned mainly residential but our instructor wanted us to be prepared for industrial as well. In the end, I was accepted to a small college but didn't want to work a FT job and attend college so I went into the Navy instead, into the AEF (Advanced Electronics Field).

It sounds like someone is trying to sell something.

> iterations

The property of iterations is that things change, outcomes change, ideas change, requirements change. Iterations are not black boxes that we tuck away as 100% complete; they often require re-examination as the iteration process continues.

Software obeys its own dynamics. Some things work well. Some not quite the same. It's nice to see someone admitting that testing is good, rigid TDD; like rigid Agile or rigid Waterfall, are bad. Corollary, what our parents said still holds true; too much of a good thing is bad.

When I was in High School, I went to 2 years of Vocational School at the same time and took advanced studies for college so I'd have something to fall back on one way or the other.

Agree, use it often too and a good alternative I also use often is: https://git-for-windows.github.io/

It gives you a Bash shell with hundreds of useful utilities you used to get only in Cygwin.

Though the most complete is the new Windows Ubuntu system.

VR is klunky, about 20 years away from being a fun experience.

Emotions aside, it's hard to deny facts:

"Walmart employs an astounding 2.1 million people. In the United States alone, the company employs 1.4 million people. This is a staggering 1% of the U.S.'s 140 million working population."

Actually just went back and re-read what I wrote, I'm not entirely sure what the point was I was trying to get across now.

Are you equating a fair American Presidential campaign to people who cut people's heads off and record it?

Supporting violence and hate isn't acceptable in any other format, why should the Internet be excluded.

Consumer unfriendly behavior, your words, strongly suggests that it isn't a communications issue; rather it is likely a consumer affairs issue.

Specifically:

"A simpler consumer protection solution exists. Congress should fully repeal the common carrier exemption in the FTC Act, and enable both the FTC and FCC to protect consumers and the openness and innovation of the internet."

https://www.insideprivacy.com/united-states/federal-trade-co...

"The FTC argued that if Congress really intended to divide jurisdiction along industry lines, it could have exempted from the FTC’s authority everything subject to the Communications Act or the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC’s) jurisdiction."

Is Net Neutrality a 100% known quantity? I'm pretty sure it isn't. There are a lot of subjective considerations surrounding it and how it's perceived by both technical and non-technical people.

> I think if you work on greenfield projects your whole career you're likely the one who's creating these 'steaming piles of manure'.

Eggzactly, well stated.

Microsoft has tens of thousands. Does Windows do more for its users than Ubuntu Linux?

Your post is great, well made and articulated, sort of the anti-plunger post.

Java would work much better for VLC.

Did a double take on the title.

Wow. Let the maintenance begin.

> I've been toying with the idea of a language where queries are expressed as a pipeline of operations on result sets

That is what the relational database engine does in the first place. In fact, many really smart people have figured out how to make the engine really good at it and SQL is the best for working with it.

SQL is about relational theory; all that matters is the data.

> Instead wouldn't it be better for the language to explicitly allow the user to apply algorithms or procedures to make things more efficient

That...is hacking.

An ORM is a gateway...not a good gateway.

You don't like languages that the average human being can make sense out of but you do like Clojure? Did I read that right?

Then, "make them declarative and have software generate the diff". So you want the benefits of relational data without the pain, is that it? Why not use Hibernate like the oh so wise ones have told us to use only to now realize trying to bend relational tools into what a language designer's ideas are is maybe, probably, not the best idea after all and perhaps the reason that SQL and relational databases have withstood the test of time and Hibernate is on the road to death is that SQL and relational design were extremely, unabashedly well thought out and designed in the first place.

The US should be in on, or leading, this.

When I work remotely (a.k.a. WFH), I exercise on the treadmill at lunch every day. I feel better and my blood test numbers prove it. When I have to work in an office, I am too tired to exercise when I get home and my health suffers for it.
