A 6MB blob is identical to 2MB, 1MB and 3MB blobs.

"Even Mark Cuban can't..."? What has Cuban fixed?

Meh, if they forked they should have called it "iron oxide" or "FeO" or something. Lost opportunity...

If you think that way, you are not objectively weighing the benefits of server side rendering. It _is_ useful and shouldn't be tossed away for the benefits of a 6MB javascript blob.

If their hacking ability is anything like the engineering ability you can contract then I am not worried.

I don't know why, but the entire demonstration and explanation of the vision pro felt totally surreal. It felt like a 5-10 minute opening sequence for a Black Mirror episode.

I don't think anyone asked for this.

A close friend of mine went to highschool with George. Everything I read about him coincides perfectly with all of the highschool stories. At least he has stuck true to himself all these years :p

Why is this is a surprise? You don't own Reddit. It's not "your" subreddit. You're a free worker (moderator) and you went against the boss (Reddit). Of course they fired you.

Anyone else think Stackoverflow has been in a decline the past decade?

Stackoverflow hardly surfaces when I am searching for help and when I find answers it's usually a blog or a hosted blog somewhere. Most Stackoverflow answers are usually 4-5 years old and outdated.

Perhaps it's simply my engineering has improved in the last decade and I no longer search for help very often and when I do it's outside the scope of Stackoverflow..

Happened to me once in college in New York. A kid smashed the vending machine and chips were everywhere.

Learn and master fundamentals and not technologies.

Html, css and javascript will be useful forever. As will basic computer science, architecture and so on.

As for man #1, that's some dedication. Let the man play.

I wonder how much it costs to run? I can't imagine it's too crazy.. data can be stored/cached easily and access is random and has some hot spots (recent torrents). Seems like it would be fairly cheap to run?

I think it's important to have focus and direction. It's very challenging to have hobbies or side projects when you're focused and have direction.

For example, you feel like you're wasting your time reading a fiction book when you could be doing X to make more progress. Playing a video game? Forget about it. I got to a point where I wouldn't even listen to music because it may take some other gains away.

I struggled with these same problems ( I'm not even Asian =P ). I wish there was some magical fix, but there isn't. What I found to be best is to embrace it... I picked roughly three things I want to excel at and I center my life around those things.

This means I won't ever learn how to make digital music, pixel art, read X fiction books or whatever, but life is short. I'd rather excel at a few things I care about deeply and pass on everything else.

It is a think pad keyboard, it even has the windows key logo on it.
