You CLEARLY have never been to Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula in summer.

Remember that Wright told HotR owner/designer Alex Jordon that he wouldn't hire him to design a chicken coop. You are correct; both should be visited. However, get ready for monotony at HotR. Room after room after room of Jordan's curiosity collection.

Having visited multiple Wright buildings, I must say this: no photograph or video will EVER do it justice. The man was a master of light. Wright buildings MUST be visited in person to experience this. You will FEEL it.

Similar to the Second Law of Thermodynamics which states entropy tends to increase over time in a closed system, I propose the Nth Law of Privatization: enshitification tends to increase with market capitalization/share over time.

Hey! I live in Galewood! OK, Mont Clare really. But you would not be wrong in either case. People see/hear about Chicago (the city, not burbs) and think it is just deep dish, The Bean, and crime. But out here in the bungalow belt, it is working class schlubs just living quiet lives. Aka, the REAL Chicago. If you want a better picture, look up "Blues Brothers Mrs. Tarantino". Yes, I know that's Cicero, but close enough. If you drove that street today, nearly 50 years later, you'd think no time has passed at all.

As a Yocto enthusiast, I am curious as to how much elapsed realtime would be needed for a clean Yocto build. Yocto is thread heavy, so with 288, it oughta be good.

I'd like to believe that Silicon Valley mgmt is Pro-Trump in the same way that Oskar Schindler was "pro Nazi". You may not personally like who is in office, but you pretend to in order to survive.

2 things to think about here: 1. Coding is just one phase of the software development life cycle (SDLC). We still have to gather requirements, design, test, release, and most importantly maintain. I was taught, albeit years ago, that code spends most of its life in maintenance and that is the phase where the most money is spent. 2. Keep in mind Amdahl's law. The limit of software cost as coding cost approaches zero is the cost of the other phases of the SDLC. Apologies to Amdahl for the cheap, dirty bastardization.

When I began work at my last company, we all had to badge in to get in the parking lot, where there was 6 lanes 6-10a and just 2 other times. We also had to pass through 1 of 4 turnstyles, and we were subject to bag inspection going both in and out. We were trained to NEVER leave my badge in an unguarded location (ie my locked car at home, at lunch, etc). We were also trained to NOT display our badges off campus, especially when travelling. This made me make DAMN SURE I knew where my badge was at at times. Same hook in the closet. When walking OUT through the turnstyle, I usually either put it in my bag if I had one, tucked into my shirt pocket, or just tucked under my shirt.

I'm glad to see there is a "Beyond the Code" section that discusses comments. Here's what I typically told my students in Intro to Programming" Good comments lend insight into the code. Reading the code itself tells you the what. Comments should explain the why. Comments like "i+=1; /* Increment i */" are of little value. However comments such as "We increment i mid loop so that we can peek ahead at the next value for a possible swap" are more useful. Use a narrative voice when writing comments, like you are explaining the code to your grandparent. This make digestion easier. Remember, code spends most of its life, and most of its expense, in the maintenance phase. The easier you make your code to understand, the less it will cost and the longer it will live.
