    So it looks like the banks win, and we lose. No yield on stablecoins.

    Westworld

    I remember the wife and I watched Season 1 and I absolutely loved it. Then for whatever unexplicable reason we never even started season 2 and the more I read the happier I am that in my head this show ended with Season 1. The same way I tell people with GoT, "Watch this series until you see...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Snyk and Wiz are predominantly CPSM and Code verification, they won't do a ton to regulate how much you do or don't abuse AI in the process and if it's going bad. They're both good at what they do, but they're just now pivoting towards the AI reality. (Which to be honest is true of just about...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Mostly it has to do with how microservices and cloud architecture are different. When the first companies tried to "move to the cloud" they just took their existing servers, and mimicked them in VMs running in the various cloud providers (called "forklifting", or "lift and shift"). They...

    So...... after almost 10 years my Surface 4 Pro had it's battery go south (wouldn't charge, swelled up, popped one edge of the screen away from the frame). And I'm pretty sure I killed it attempting to ever so delicately do the brain surgery needed to replace the battery. I really did like...

    There's a degree of cost savings, but many places are now hitting a wall of cost accelerating because of sloppy architecture trying to "scale". But I know places right now that have things they would love to bring back into their own data centers, but can't because it's getting harder and...

    I'm sorry sir, you have my condolences on the loss... I think I'm in the early stages of this with my mom. She's been diagnosed with mid tier kidney disease for a while, and lately her BP has gotten out of control and they added "class B" cardiovascular disease onto it. Her Kidney Dr took...

    Another problem I see with as much as everybody is clamoring over the CLARITY act and other Crypto legislation is that the promise of Crypto and DeFi was to give a financial system not in the complete capture and control of the "Big Bank World". And who is sitting at the table with as much or...

    He's a guy who does these "putting himself in someone's shoes" posts as a form of "reporting". Usually it's about corporate America nonsense, and this one was his take on the recent interviews with Metzen and such. I just find his stuff pretty "reasonable chuckle" worthy while being honest...

    I'm trying to maintain more activity than her. I'm no 5k runner, but making sure to get the "steps in". I'm trying to eat fewer carbs, watch my A1C more than she did. Some of this will be easier as she had some work related injuries and such in her 30s and 40s which resulted in her having...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    So. I mentioned a while back about a crack on one of my rims causing a slow leak over time. Took it to get repaired at a rim repair place and when looking at where the rim had the leak it was a spot where apparently at some point in the past the same wheel had been repaired. So now I don't...

    I'm dealing with a "cards dealt" scenario as well right now. My mother is in the hospital because of idiot doctors. In her mid 70's she's suffering from weakened kidneys (I think technically stage 2 kidney disease) and now type B congestive heart failure. Her kidney Dr decided that since her...

    There's a lot of discussion I'm seeing around if we're seeing the teetering edge of the AI bubble about to pop. If it does I think it leads to a marketwide correction, I'm just not sure how to position to mitigate/avoid as much of that damage as possible. Maybe I'll just buy donuts and hope...
