OMG. Just spoke to ~6 Metlife (aka Brighthouse) customer support service folk to find out they have no online access to Term Life policies. All transactions have to be conducted by phone or mail like it was 1995 & the 6 reps weren't even aware of this.
What makes (3rd party, not mine) c++ builds non-deterministic? This one fails at random. It doesn't help that the dev team decided to never address any warning ever, so a build is 50 pages of warnings.

Who wants VR data smelling? The office would reek like a barn or a sewage treatment facility. https://x.com/jawalnut/status/1055350928088412160
My take away from the 4 quadrants chart is that we under estimate how often a quadrant will have 0-1 dots when the dots are set at random. I think this is the same bias as how we underestimate runs in coin flips.

KATA: instead of osx's say command, implement "sulk" where the computer makes it clear there is something wrong, but won't tell you.
The uses of a GPG key proves identity because you are the 1 person who has figured out how to use GPG encryption. https://x.com/Crosse3/status/1055167149520642048

Fedex is pretty right wing, they could start a service for people who want to mail bombs to the libs. Gotta give customers what they want.
This was the problem the world had with folk who knew how to build atomic bombs. They have families & student loans to pay. If they are fired, they will be hired by another company. https://x.com/drewharwell/status/1055080656450007040
I got a virus & my immune system is going gangbusters attacking my knees. Who wrote the code for this system? Is there a patch for this defect?

Opinion unpopular with libertarians:
Code of conduct (be it mailing lists, forums or code repos) are a way to announce to people who are not included to follow any rules that harassment, etc is going to have consequences
Few forums have moderators. Too many are toxic $#!+ holes
Open source projects are dependencies of serious orgs & sometimes independent devs just trying to make a living. When an OS community blows up and is abandoned because no one wants to participate anymore- this is a problem with $$$ consequences. It isn't just "virtue signaling"

Actual level of difficulty
(hardest) nano-vim > Jupyter Notebooks> VSCode-Pycharm (easiest)
Popular perception
nano > Pycharm > Jupyter
Jupyter frees you from certain *overhead* & *startup* chores.
Pycharm & VSCode free you from *reading the manual*-- the python one

My 2 and 5 year old puked on three major brands last night & puked out one major brand. Millennial are nothing compared to the upcoming generation as far as killing brands is concerned.

KATA: List all pairs of fractions where this trick "works". Seems like there should be an algebraic solution too, something starting with
(n1*10 + n2) / (n3 *10 + n4) = n1/n4 https://twitter.com/Masaka_Arienai/status/1052679186647830528
I wrote a blog post on my credit card game.
I can only think of 3 cards everyone should have
-Chase Amazon
- Amex Preferred
- any 1.5%-2% cash back card, like Citibank's or Chase Freedom
Everyone else, it depends on your spend.

This will actually get you in stuff like adaptive cruise control. It was only in an online forum I confirmed my car doesn't have adaptive cruise control. The manual keeps mentioning it & assuming I knew if my car had it. All the marketing material mentions it nonstop #chevymalibu https://x.com/drewharwell/status/1053017769917198337
US just showed they ain't ready for women leaders. Could have shown:
- Indian blood quanta rules are racist. Let tribes pick membership rules like mini-states.
- It America, LOTS of people have 1 ancestor that was Amerind. Heck, even do & my racist relatives do, too. https://x.com/dmataconis/status/1052998919070855168
If a guy had decided to respond to Trump's attack this way, he would not have gotten the same grief for it.
Trump gives derogatory nick names to everyone- it is impossible to not respond, if you don't respond your opponent defines you.♡ 0 ↻ 1

No, talk about the politics stuff, there is lots of pizza to be sold to just old, rural, white men without a college education. On an electoral college basis, Papa Johns is going to dominate market share. https://x.com/valeriecodes/status/1052756607384346626
zen of BASIC
The sun is setting & you, too, are DIMing
Grasping for money will only get you a $STRING

Gaps between line numbers are a good thing, we should have more of those

You are a level 3 developer in an underground open office layout with dank humidity and no light.
The report is hung & error log has no messages.
You can't find the arrow cursor on any of your three screens.
I'll say it again, a humane lotto system will give the lower class gamblers what they really want: permanent housing, food, health care & retirement money, i.e. a Universal Wage. Folk don't realize that a billion bucks is a full time, *highly skilled* job to manage that much $. https://x.com/0xKruzr/status/1052438401411178497
Depends on your skills, which come from a lifetime of already being rich, middle or poor. If you are poor, this much money is a disaster, like hanging raw meat around your neck & walking thru a pride of lions. Only the middle class or already rich winners can survive this. https://x.com/0xKruzr/status/1052438401411178497
