You should be continually contributing over time allowing you to benefit from the dips by buying low. This offsets the losses and is called dollar cost averaging,

I will never forget the joys of the playing Half-Life 1 on max settings with my Diamond Monster3D Voodoo2.

I found happiness. I am almost done with it. You want it after me?

This is good advice. Keep the conversation short, formal and boring. Bring up the weather as a signal there is little of interest in the conversation. When you are ready to disengage say “I will let you get back to your work now”

You should name it Hawk, so people can call it Hawk-Tui.

Why is the perspective in the final frame taken from inside of the jail cell? Are we the viewer also in jail? Shouldn’t we be viewing it behind bars from the other side? What did we the viewing audience do? Are we culpable since just by viewing this?

Thanks for pointing that out, I missed that when posting.

I liked it so much I tore through it in a couple of days! The worst part is waiting for the next in the series since he has announced there will be at least two and possibly three more in what he is calling the “bomb light” series.

So is Visual Studio basically dead at this point? Are any new programmers choosing to use it?

Yes, but no.

The source code for Netscape Navigator was open-sourced and has become Mozilla Firefox. The company Netscape is now a mostly defunct brand while Mozilla is a non-profit, public benefit company in service to the Mozilla Foundation, and the Mozilla community.

A lot of great comments here. I just wanted to add that even just your ip address is enough to roughly track your location. When your phone checks gmail you are leaving digital breadcrumbs in Google’s logs of your ip address which roughly tracks your location. App permissions will not solve this. We need strong privacy regulations with teeth.

100% of what?

I feel like Beholders are the product of some nightmare fueled fever dream. They fascinate me endlessly.

This is the relevant part of the article:

“That is why on several occasions, the agency has sent agents to train at an 80 percent-scale mock White House in Atlanta, built as a movie set by the filmmaker Tyler Perry. That was built in four months.”

Nothing more than that in the article. It is really just one part of the overall story about all the problems the secret service is having. So the point us they are underfunded?

Infinite Jest - just the part about video conferencing is wild and is even mire wild when you realize it was written in the 90’s before video conferencing really existed:

“Good old traditional audio-only phone conversations allowed you to presume that the person on the other end was paying complete attention to you while also permitting you not to have to pay anything even close to complete attention to her. A traditional aural-only conversation […] let you enter a kind of highway-hypnotic semi-attentive fugue: while conversing, you could look around the room, doodle, fine-groom, peel tiny bits of dead skin away from your cuticles, compose phone-pad haiku, stir things on the stove; you could even carry on a whole separate additional sign-language-and-exaggerated-facial-expression type of conversation with people right there in the room with you, all while seeming to be right there attending closely to the voice on the phone. And yet — and this was the retrospectively marvelous part — even as you were dividing your attention between the phone call and all sorts of other idle little fuguelike activities, you were somehow never haunted by the suspicion that the person on the other end’s attention might be similarly divided.”

I pledge to be fair, stay curious and stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. To never forget we are a people dedicated to a just and free society for all. To be welcoming and inclusive of all peoples, rich or poor and the regardless if the color of their skin or their faith or gender or sexual orientation. Except Donald Trump. That guy is a jerk.

This seems to me to be a weak substitute for good privacy regulation.

It stings at first, but once you realize you can now play all of the classics on emulators it helps take the pain away.

You likely can’t do equity investing but you might be able to buy their bonds:

Seems like a bad idea to me. If you want to diversify buy index funds and ETFs.
