Landlord, it honestly changed my life and gave my financial independence for the first time. I use a management company so I do no work, I just get a check for $1500 a month (rent is $1750). I’m now dropping being a SWE the second I buy my second unit, because it’s basically free money and more I have no boss.

I think Microsoft software teams are already working behind their legal teams. Their business model is more about licensing than making products. Likely they’ll force some kind of regulatory situation that’s advantage to them. For example no AI capable OSs for government work, or something like that.

This is a good way to get laid off. A developer has never generated ROI in the history of finance, it was ALWAYS an MBAs idea.

Well my money in lent to banks that lend to each other, so this could just as easily apply to anyone. Nobody really controls the T bill market.

Imagine legalizing a drug because white people’s psyche just needs to get high. As soon as this happens I’m getting some PTSD with all my friends.

Is there anyone out there that’s can compare MDMA to more conventional treatments from actual experience?

Well really think about the mindset of someone who collectively hates “the state” do you think that person is going to be honest about their actions? Of course not everything is about yourself over everyone else. This is free speech and not a personal attack.

Um are you legally allowed to say that you’re making revenue, but choosing not to be profitable? It seems like fraud.

The idea that this is something that companies care about seems wrong.

They should use osf.io share their findings. It’s got a nice interface it’s also free and can will be searchable permanently.

The two talks about the Gil removal were great. Also pyscript is great though they had 3 talks for some reason and only one really explained it. I did not watch the keynotes, but I heard they were bad and not technical. The general friendliness was good, masks didn’t feel annoying to me as it was okay outside and when eating and it was easy to just go outside.

I felt pretty disappointed going to the conference. Though it’s a pivotal and awesome time to be a Python dev and historic to remove the GIL. I found the talks to be very low information and sometimes not really relevant to the title and description of the talk. For example the “Blender integration” talk was 40 minutes with 8 minutes of blender discussion. The talk on Mocking was extremely basic and spent most of the time describing the concept of unit testing. Talks during the end of the day tended to be better than the morning ones. They need more web development experts of this committee, most of the web dev talks were rehashing online tutorials or felt that way.
