I've had the exact same thoughts, so if you're wrong you aren't alone. I personally believe this is due to the imbalance of wealth. Where money isn't circulating properly and we end up with these massive funds that move from one investment type to another destroying everything in their wake

New comment by je_bailey in "Elon Musk Is the Richest Man. Why Is He Sleeping on an Office Floor?"

I find it fascinating that he has such a strong desire to have people have a certain perception of him. I'm not sure what that perception is supposed to be,if it's admiration or respect or whatever.

But it does seem to drive him to do odd things. Sleeping on an office floor. There's no reason for him to do that. Pay somebody to follow him around and make a bed for him to sleep in if he doesn't want to go home. Taking photos of himself and then using alt accounts to post wonderful things about himself. It's weird.

One of the things I like to mention to younger devs, when I pull out a solution that they think is from thin air, is that I have failed far more often then they have. I just have a good memory on how to fix my mistakes.

It seems everyone is taking them literally. Is that something confirmed or is it more of an allegory?

I haven't seen that demonstrated myself. Could you point me to a study or two that provides the details on that?

After reading the article. I don’t see where they said it was a counting system. Rather that it has the same rhyming structure as counting systems and so it had to be considered a possibility that it came from that. Which by the end they said was very unlikely.

I don’t understand the point of this. Is there a trade off in being stack efficient and speed?

New comment by je_bailey in "Framework Laptop 2.5Gbps Ethernet Expansion Card"

je_bailey — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 19:19:32 +0000

I believe they looked at them. The issue is essentially the expansion board that handles the processing of the 2.5Gbit/S and the port combined were larger than the space they had designated.

No? But that might be because I don't need the same options as you do. I however do like the dual HDMI, USB-C, and the extra storage I added to my framework and since your Thinkpad only has 1 HDMI output I think that's rather odd. It's 2mm thicker how do you handle the lack of a second HDMI port?

Poor comparison. The comparison is what percentage of vehicles that operate with functional assist are Tesla vehicles.

I miss clients like this. It reminds me of a better time when the internet was young and fresh to me.

It does amuse me that this written up on livejournal.

Nice environment, I'm on firefox so I'm experiencing a problem with the terminal emulation but overall it has a really nice feel to it.

The older I get, and the more experience I have with the world. I know that rain water caused the split but I am also popping popcorn in my shelter as I wait for Tamamo-no-Mae's first move.
