I am listening to my condo association's annual meeting and learning that my dues are going up by over 50% next year due to new laws regarding minimum capital reserves and a doubling of insurance costs. Florida is going to be completely uninhabitable (for many reasons) soon

@jerry is your homeowner insurance also rising or is that included in the condo fees?

@qirenni @mattsiegel there are some fintech companies using haskell, and supposedly NSA is a huge haskell user.

In news:

Apparently is spilling enough grain near Marias Pass that it will self-ferment, thereby acting as a brewery for the local bear (beer?) population.

(BNSF trains are then killing a handful of drunk bears every year, though, which is less amusing).

When Sam Bankman-Fried is speaking, it's almost like listing to a 14 yr old talking about theirself :bloblaugh:

"like" dis and "like" that. "like, like, like", think he's been to much on Facebook

fascinating (and gorgeous!) chart showing the evolution of recorded-music revenue over the last 50 years

the first thing that jumps out at me is how much smaller the overall pie is post-streaming. the streaming services and major labels have successfully managed a) to dramatically devalue recorded music and b) to put a much larger percentage of it directly into their own pockets. it's one of the single biggest upward transfers of wealth in history — from artists to billionaire corporations

@hilljam everybody loves to hate on the streaming services for all the profit they make, even though most of them have yet to make any profit

@Fluorette mois quand je suis alle avec mon fils de 3 ans a Paris c'etait manege, manege, manege - il y a un joli manege devant le sacre coeur, et un autre au trocadero, un au tuileries, aussi il aimait bien prendre le bus plus que le metro.

A rule where if a corporation goes bankrupt, it has to open source its entire codebase

laurentoget,

@natty i think you may be overestimating the value of most corporate codebase, specially after the years of cutting corners that usually come before bankruptcy.

Steve Rabey notes that Sidney Powell, who has admitted she lied re: the results of the 2020 election, "once told the Christian Television Network she is a woman of prayer who is guided to the truth by the Holy Spirit.

'God hates deceit, and truth is the armor of God,' she said, 'so I’ve always felt like as long as I stand for truth and all I want is truth, then I’m definitely wearing the armor of God.' (The broadcast has been deleted.)"

I've been wondering a lot about aging in software development.

Any > 40-year old developers out there that'd like to share their perspective?

How did you grow (technically, managing, etc...)? Picked up fields over others (embeded systems over web app, for instance)?

Would love to connect!

Boost for reach please 🙏

@remi 52 yo staff software engineer here. started late after some time in academia. i am pretty established as a database guy but always learning new things as tech stacks come and go. i prefer mentoring to managing.

Besoin de conseils : Marguerite souhaiterait un casque audio pour noël. Est-ce-que vous auriez des conseils ?

Je suis peu amateur de sans fil mais ce n’est pas un veto. La réduction de bruit éventuellement, mais la qualité du son et la solidité avant tout je dirais. Pas de micro nécessaire.

Des marques et des modèles à conseiller ? Pour les prix, disons que je monterais probablement pas à 300 mais si ça peut valoir la peine pour la qualité et la solidité, je vois pour un cadeau à plusieurs.
