This Bun rewrite feels like a potential Mythos marketing stunt.

I am Cuban and from Miami. The culture here is very similar where people will sacrifice everything in order to stay living close to family and "home". Here it stems a lot from the financial anxiety passed down from our parents and a culture where you relied a lot on your entire family. I think it really holds a lot of people back.

I agree, Reddit communities after a certain point become awful.

I think you can still find great communities but they feel like ticking time-bombs.

Only a matter of time before they became too big and issues from large communities begin to spill in.

For SWEs what is a good way to get an intro into hardware?

Tyler and Blurr were legendary in the RSPS scene, 2speced was such a wellmade and maintained RSPS. I wonder where they are now.

Wondering if anyone played on the RSPS 2speced back in the day? it was really popular

My favorite RSPS was 2speced. It was probably one of the most famous 317 servers. I still remember the forum names of the developers, Tyler and Blurr. I sometimes wonder what they do now. The RSPS scene was awesome.

What they do over at Koenigsegg is amazing, i feel like most people arent aware at the incredible things they do, CVK is an amazing engineer too and its awesome watching him speak about the cars.

Koenigsegg does innovate a lot in manufacturing car parts for their hypercars, if you watched Christian von Koenigsegg speak about the engineering they do its really impressive.

In some alternate universe CVK is making cars that compete with Tesla and are better. Although they make amazing products i wish he and his team of brilliant engineers would work on inexpensive cars, im almost certain they could innovate in the space.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, Netflix engineers didn't have blog posts from other companies on how to handle the scale they started facing. Facebook didn't have blog posts to reference when they scaled to 1B users. They pay for talent that have built systems that had not been built before and they have seen a return on it so they continue to do it.

According to the White House, it is not

I don't think that's a common assumption, inflation means stricter monetary policy which slows growth for companies so stocks go down.

Real estate is not a good hedge against inflation, check out this video to see how there is no real proven hedge against inflation[1] (supporting papers in the videos description)

I've mentioned this before[1], we once had a domain stolen because somebody called GoDaddy and was able to get the 2FA code removed with a phone call and they had some leaked email credentials for the account.

We had to call GoDaddy and cancel the domain transfer, they would give us no information on how it happened.

I kind of predicted this in my SO post in 2019 [1]. They were falling behind for a while.

If you can't be the cheapest be the most expensive

Sidekiq is the best library i have ever used, i have never ran into any issues using it and Mike has personally answered a bunch of my Stack Overflow questions that involve Sidekiq. He deserves every dollar.

I guess what interests me is how people structure their projects from small to large code bases.

I've been learning python specifically to get better at competitive programming style questions (I mainly work with Ruby on Rails).

Now I am trying to find projects that are well written to get an idea of how good Python is written but it seems like most recommendation are large projects like Flask. I want to learn the design patterns and file structures of Python in a way where i am not completely lost.

How do you guys approach the "start" of reading a code base, i never know where to start looking, specifically if its a language i am not too familiar with i have no idea where to start and sometimes i have no idea where the program execution starts

correlation != causation, people do not choose to murder more because the majority of their community votes red. There are many variables to this problem.

To adopt my cat during covid i had to do a Facetime interview with the shelter and show them around my place.

It felt like i was applying for a job.

Yup, i feel like nobody cares about monitor tech, i waited for 4k/120hz IPS for a long time

I have gone through my fair share of mechanical keyboards, i don't like to mod them besides maybe 1 custom keycap.

So far my favorite stock keyboards have been from Leopold, i have a 660M with reds to game and a 660C with the silent topres for work. Fit and finish is amazing compared to my old ducky/corsair/razor keyboards.

The basic principles for buying a car:

- Don't buy new, on avg the first 2-3 years you take the biggest depreciation risk

- Don't finance with the dealership, go to a credit union like DCU

- Negotiate, even in times like this you can negotiate

- If you can't get outside financing and you have to get dealer financing for whatever reason, they make money from the financing, negotiate even further down because of this

- Depending on your state some fees are illegal, check your laws, negotiate the fees off

There is risk in cash, it is called inflation, if you bought a car last year you lost 7% + depreciation of the car since you bought it. The SP500 is up 11% since last year.

This means you would have lost 7% to inflation, 11% to potential upside plus depreciation of your car. Assuming your car did not depreciate because of current car production shortages you lost 18% of your money buying cash vs 3%-4% interest on the loan.

Cash is not risk free

I’ve found when something feels really hard (programming problem) that is takes me longer than a day to figure out a solution, i am missing some piece of knowledge that’s a stepping stone to solve the problem

This will lead me to trying to figure out where my knowledge gap is so i can fill the gap and then try again to solve the problem

So... what are the chances this is related to a cyber attack from Russia? Also our apps are down

Subreddits are group think bubbles, i wouldn't consider that a good source of public opinion. That is like saying everyone wants Trump to be president, head over to r/thedonald.
