  1. The old trackballs that they stopping making. I also hoarded Microsoft Ergonomic keyboards at $30. Now they sell for $350 on Amazon.
  2. Chocolately violence.
  3. Absolutely. Finding good stuff takes a lot of time and then they're discontinued. I almost always buy multiples of anything good I find. I have like 5 Logitech trackball mice, brand new in packaging in my shelf.
  4. No one knows. Serious programmers will probably always be in demand. Amatures will probably be made obsolete.
  5. This is a nonsense point because nothing has ever stopped anyone from stealing people's work and placing it into their portfolios. It was always possible to lie to get hired. But then you'd be screwed because you wouldn't be able to do the work. All that matters is one's ability to code and to demonstrate it. It's very easy to tell when someone is a good coder vs not. I've hired talented programmers and I could tell within a few days, a week tops, if he was seriously good.
  6. You are strawmanning her situaiton.
  7. Locking this. Go argue in the main Israel/Gaza thread.
  8. @Squeekytoy Don't be a jerk.
  9. An AI tool cannot do the job of a serious programmer. Enough with the AI hype train. Portfolios and projects will always matter.
  10. This is some major BS from David Hawkins. This approach will not fix serious health isssues.
  11. Just because the Palestinians breed vigorously does not mean ethic cleansing hasn't been happening. The claim is not that Israel will succeed in exterminating all the Palestinians. The claim is more subtle than that. Obviously in the 21st century ethnic cleansing must be done in a more nuanced way than in centuries past.
  12. Editing on each post is available for 48hrs. It has always been like this.
  13. In the future humans will not speak but just telepathically flash memes at each other.
  14. Maybe your view is just limited. Has that ever crossed your mind?
  15. Surprisingly, that 3 dots trick seems to work on mobile. But for how long will it hold?
  16. Glass is heavy and fragile. I have dropped my steel bottles many times with just a few dents.
  17. @Vrubel If you are honest you will admit to yourself that Israel has been engaged in an ethnic cleansing campaign for over 50 years. That's what your pride leads to.
  18. You can easily train up coding skills without work, by working on your own little projects. Those little projects then go into your protofolio and demostrate your skills to employers. This is the best way to get hired.
  19. Scrolling through Shorts in your feed is a huge pain in the ass. That's like saying, why don't you just avoid all the ads spinkled throughout a webpage? No thanks. All that crap eats up your mind's bandwidth.
  20. Be here with an open mind, to learn, not to spread religious dogma.
  21. As Ralston himself will tell you, there's much more to this work than awakening.
  22. Simple stainless steel works great.
  23. Well, you have to wonder, is a song the best way to achieve your LP? What is the best way? I'd focus on that.
