Outside of the “stars” and directors, people working in the film/tv industry already have a fairly low income (median salary for professional actors is ~$47000/yr).

I started using it as an alternative to Octave/Matlab and Perl. Python is better at general programming than Octave/Matlab, and better syntax than Perl (IMO) while being almost as easy to do the same stuff I was using Perl for. It’s very good for quickly writing small scripts. Issues can arise on large projects/teams because of stuff like type safety, and it also has issues with performance.

I think compose files are usually pinned to a version, or use a .env file that needs to be changed to update to a new version.

I personally don’t update very often; usually not until I’m forced to for some reason. I find that just checking the documentation for any upgrade/migration guides, and doing it manually is sufficient. I don’t expose this kind of stuff publicly; if I did, I’d probably update regularly.

A lot of the companies and people responsible for having all these datacenters built are heavily invested in SMR. So they’ll probably be used anyways.

Tidal too. Slows the Earth’s rotation a minuscule amount more than usual.

Most of my local ones are registered on https://www.localharvest.org/ (their map seems to be messed up right now, but seems to work if you type in a zipcode, select CSA from the dropdown, and press “GO”). They are more expensive than groceries stores, but don’t use heavily exploited labor, and you often get a lot of weird/cool stuff normal grocery stores don’t sell.

Hmm. Yeah, my local farmer’s markets are expensive, but the CSA subscriptions are reasonable (i.e. the ones where you pay upfront for the season’s produce, reducing the farmer’s risk, then get a box of produce every week). Some, you can volunteer on the farm to get “free” food.

I like CSAs. All I really need to buy from stores is stuff like protein and grains. There are local CSAs in my area that even offer meat, eggs, and milk.

Idk, I’ve worked with recent grads where their work likely did bring in > $100k in a year. Maybe only took a month to get up to speed. Commits from all devs should be reviewed, and all code should be tested before pushing to prod, so those catastrophic costs should rarely be a problem. We had a good relationship with professors at a local university, and they’d send us their top students. The students would work with us for a while before usually getting picked up by big tech.

Pretty sure my work right out of college brought the company around $300k the first year (wrote the firmware for an electronic control board mostly by myself, which allowed the company to secure a large contract).

I watch leftists who occasionally covered him. He was extremely popular on TikTok with children to college-age people. He was also close to Trump, and I think Trump sent him to Greenland a while back with the VP on that “diplomacy” trip.

Didn’t something like 150k employees and contractors get DOGE’d and the admin is targeting 300k by the end of year?

I was doing contract work related to environmental research that relied on grant money and all that dried up.

If their work brings in > 100k in revenue then they should.

Guessing it would be more practical to have enough solar panels to fulfill energy needs in winter.

I think most Bitcoin bros just care about the line going up; not about privacy/freedom. Trump and those around him are getting insanely wealthy from crypto in general.

They may be better than YT was when it was the same age. IIRC, Youtube used to use flashplayer, and most videos were something like 480p.

Other than just feeling a little light/cheap, I liked it. I actually liked that it used standard batteries so I could just use rechargeable AAs. Only reason I don’t use it anymore, is that I mostly game on PS5 now, and mostly only play strategy games on PC. I used to use it while streaming from my PC to my Kodi/Steam Raspberry Pi in my living room.

And excessive use of em-dashes, which is the first thing I look for. He does say he uses LLMs a lot.
