I do not want to give up any privacy. The stasi wasn't that long ago.

It's dead because new projects aren't started in Perl unlike C.

ECT gets a bad rap, but works. Anecdotally, my uncle went through it.

What actually made a difference, for me, was changing my work. My dad experienced this too. If you're depressed maybe you need to change your life, this is hard. It was for me.

Learn the art of writing gpu compilers. Software defined radio is another.

If you find web-scraping dull don't pursue it. Life is short.

I follow the national weather service for my area (US). It's awesome they're total geeks about weather and share it.

Everything else is mostly meh.

What's bad about his benchmarks? I've cursory glanced at them before and didn't notice anything in particular (used to write gpu drivers for a living).

I should have been more specific by tooling. I meant source code manipulation and analysis, go-oracle and goimports are a couple. There's many more in the go community.

Are they useful, I'm not sure. They feel useful but I have little trust in my judgment. When I switched back in the day from VS to emacs I didn't seem to miss all of the refactoring tools VS provided.
