I switched jobs to Google shop. Google keep is straight trash compared to one note. There is reason Microsoft makes bank of office. Outlook, word, one note and the best excel are miles better than anything else for basic use. Yes I use vim alot.. but still office is pretty great.

This might be crazy but I rarely ever take notes... I try and remember stuff. But my train of thought is usually in my position at jobs someone is requesting something from me.. I come from the operations side of things and slowly did more dev work. People hate me sometimes but I am firm believer in no ticket no work. Put in a ticket if we do not have tracking system first thing to do. They can update the ticket all the want. But if you ask me something in passing I may do it or may not. But if i get a ticket it will get done. Works well no idea if it good idea though.

The blueray 4k they released for Dr Strangelove looks amazing. Highly recommend watching it.

The problem is if a country leader/government thinks that is worth ending civilization because there is something kind of afterlife that is better.. you hear the argument made about Iran. Not sure if I agree. But MAD breaks down if on side does not care about surving. Which makes nukes really scary..

The problem is Intel makes chips for Intel and nobody else. Sure they are starting to open up again.. but there are only so many use cases for x86 cpus.

Like literally every single chip that is in shortage is something Intel does not and will not make.. well they do have Altera but still..

Why though? Why is Facebook and Whatsapp infrastructure... You will not die if you don't use the internet. You might die without power or water. The problem is the same people that support these laws.. do not want the internet to be treated like public utilities.

Also I agree ISP and internet connections should be a public utility just like telephone. Even though we had that whole ATT monopoly.

But websites are not utilities at all. They are stores. Are we now saying Walmart cant kick people out for screaming crazy stuff in there stores?

Yes!! Since I this started over 15 years ago.. the problem is now this lady is having open hear anything surgey for some head value problems.. so even though it have cired and told them every years ago I bring out up now. They will not listen to me.. idk wanna be dick bit this lady ruinedy my family life why should I care what happenes to here! Sounds terrible but it is this bad .

The army straight up scares me with nukes... Air force is barely better. The USA navy knows what they are doing with reactors.. at they safe so no clue. But I am not trusting anybody in USA military except for the navy to deal with nuclear reactors.

Thank you!! I will do whatever for my wife she makes me so happy. And that is problem I feel like I need to break away from my family.. bt is it is really hard. My best friend said I got all the material items you wanted as kid but I was never loved at all.. his family took me in.. my wife family loves me so much. I know I need to break away from from family.. but I still love them idk why I wish I could stop and not care.

Thank you!!! This is great advice. I love golf corny I know.. but the wife and I play every weekend. Idk the hard part is my grandpa is still around and starting cancer treatment soon I love the guy. He hates everything is happening. I am just trying to hang on. So I can't cut them out out of my life .. just like like my dad did to help his family. But he was being a dick.. and idk I just worry I am going it for the wrong reason.

Thank you. Thankfully the wife and are very open and talk about this stuff. She thinks it super weird and not cool.. which means idk what to do.

Thank you! I just love my family but as told my wife this shit is something I am not ok with.. and we want to have kids but I do no really want them to be involved if that makes sense..

I am real unfortunately.. this started when I was about idk 15 this lady came into our life

I hated math growing up.. I thought I was stupid and just didn't not get what was taught to me.. I went into the liberal arts.. now I am dev and I love math now.. I am trying to learn so much. I struggled with basic algebra my whole life.. but the older I get the more I love math. Thank you!! Just reading this and follow someone videos my understanding is so much better thank you.

Yea true. But most people I think know the Dow is kinda of BS handpicked list. Where the S&P 500 pretends it is the top public 500 companies in the USA. Just always kinda bother me how they advertise it. Most of them will become useless anyways. Firms are going to be using in house index so they don't have to pay the fees. Fidelity is doing this with there free index funds.

S&p 500 is not a simple algorithmic trading system. That is the problem! They have a selection committee.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26P_500

The s&p 500 is worse In my opinion. They make it sound like it is the top 500 public companies in the us. Which is not the case. They have group that picks them based on a bunch dumb rules. I like the total stock market index's. If you have people picking what goes into the index they why bother just buy active managed index funds.

Depends though. For example if you are say 30. Own a house with decent mortgage cheaper than rent. If you have let's say more invested than your total debt including mortgage not counting hopefully equity in the house. Plus 2-4 years invested in taxable account. Why not go 100 stock in retirement accounts.

Working in tech you can bank alot of money quickly. If you keep your lifestyle low. Then if something happens and everything blows up. If you have enough saved you can get by. Plus alot benefits in the united states are based on income not assets.

I have thought a lot about this. I have been extremely lucky to fall into a decent tech job that is way better than working for my local university a few years ago.

Our current spending for a year with so and I is around 60k a year.

The 4 percent rule says that is about 1.5 million or so. Not there yet plus I like working so far.

But if I have say 500k saved and something happens. I can withdraw around 20k a year. But if let's both of us got minimum wage jobs. So 30 an hour total we can cover that gap.

This and HSA is nice to have as well. Max that out. Pay out of pocket for everything and keep records of it. When you retire you can pull all that out tax free. Irs says you can can do it. And it is pretax. Any left over money will turn into IRA when your old. But if you have family and can cover the out pocket cost HSA are really nice extra amount. My plan is use my taxable and withdrawal medical expenses from the hsa tax free. So I can convert 401k funds to Roth using the ladder. Ideally the normal Roth I have had for years never gets touched for a long time. Also you can also do a Roth via backdoor.

I had job where we had an agile coach. First job at of college.. I thought it was the dumbest thing ever and pointless. Then they fire the person and replaced them. It was a complete 180. The new person was so good at just coming in sitting down and just listening. Then give some quick advice and things to try. Then leave and then follow back up after a bit and check in. Not everything they suggested worked. But it was extremely helpful.

This right here is what happened to my dad. By accident he started working in the wine industry as a IT project manager and developer. They used a product from JD Edwards for large scale wine production. Oracle bought them. The Oracle product they had was way more expensive. For awhile they let them use the JD Edwards product that worked well. They wine and dined him we got to go to Oracle park luxury box for game etc.. but eventually they told him you got to use the Oracle one now for like 10x the cost... Software was junk anyways so he just ended up building stuff in house. Saved the company millions in licensing fees.

A few of the older guys have been playing together for probably more than 20 years at least twice month over that time. A round at our club is about 4 hours. So something like over 2500 hours spent between them. One guy was moving and another wanted to move closer to golf course where a few of the guys lived. So they sold the house to them for below market rate. That seems like "real" friends to me. I could easily not play with these people. But we all try and play together. We always ask each other how are families are. What we have been up to. How is work etc. I can not think of anything that is more of real friend. Sure I am closer to some than others. But if I asked any of them for help with something They would help the best they can.

People will laugh but playing golf has increased my social circle by a wide amount. I play golf with different people all the time. I play 2-3 times a week. We have a core group of people 10-12 that always play together. Would join in golf trips going to play different places around the world. Huge age difference in the group. People in mid 20's all the way up to some who just turned 80. Gotta find that hobby and then find that group of people.

Though at this point I think you could argue software 'engineers' make way more than on real engineers. At least the upside is much higher. I can not think of any other job where you can have no formal education and have chance of making over 500k a year. Which makes your point even stronger.. we pay the people who design things that could kill you less and make them way more accountable. I hate being called software engineer I feel a developer is a better term.

I feel the lack of non compete is one of the main reasons tech took off in CA. That and the weather. For as much as people say starting a business in CA is hard, and it can be. For tech it is so easy I can just quit my job and start my company.

I think most places have upgraded to sending the RF signals to a local repeater and backhaul it. I know for pge they send the data hourly no trucks.

But how? How can US cloud providers stop this? I am really curious how from my understanding it is not possible with how things are currently setup.

No this is not the right approach at all in my opinion. What stops someone from one of the countries using IP's from another? Teenagers in USA are gonna try and hack your stuff as well... I was one of them in my youth. You can't just block china and half ass your setup. You will get attacked from everywhere always. Anything you put on the internet is a target. Always has been always will be.

Did you have default or something setup for mongo db users? Because even if it open to world a strong password and fail2ban would stop this. Still dumb of docker to not be more clear. Sometimes I wish BSD jails become more popular.

Army is defacto banned to work on anything involving nuclear energy or weapons for awhile now. Rumor is the government does not trust. Pretty interesting. USAF is well quite scary with how bad they manage our nukes..
