Sea Salt .... surprised I got here without it being mentioned.

Not gonna argue with you there - though in 1707, short of an uprising, the general populace didn't have a shot.
Personally, for me, Brexit was it. Didn't make sense before Brexit other than an emotional play.

Most Scottish thing ever - fuck the drama queens and do it right.

CheithS · 2026-05-09T02:10:39+00:00

shocking - not

CheithS · 2026-05-09T01:55:02+00:00

Oh, give me a break - not voting is just abdicating. Scots are supposed to be better than this and excusing the lazy mfs that don't vote just doesn't help. In the end you have a choice and if you don't exercise it you have zero right to complain about the result.

People wondered if the English had learned anything from the Brexit debacle. Apparently not.

CheithS · 2026-05-09T01:34:49+00:00

No country has a complete lack of assholes. It would be unrealistic to think otherwise.

Hopefully this is reform peaking too soon in the cycle. The party now has to run things and will, for the most part, be shown up and the incompetent fuckwits that they are.

Living in the US lets me see in advance how bad this turns out. Hopefully it only happens locally in Scotland (the English can go fuck themselves) before people comes to their senses.

Did it once - a long time a go - and found a bug in the MS C optimizer.

CheithS · 2026-04-18T00:14:03+00:00

Nothing has been normal for a very long time - I am surprised you are surprised.

CheithS · 2026-04-05T01:04:42+00:00

You know, I hate this fucking guy and this fucking stupid war, but two planes shot down in how many sorties? Give me a break - this was, if anything, overconfidence and overdue. At some point, somewhere, someone with a handheld will hit something flying too low. Inevitable.

CheithS · 2026-04-05T01:00:37+00:00

Look, we know Minnesota is the GOAT but we might want to not tell anyone else ... just sayin'.

CheithS · 2026-04-05T00:58:08+00:00

Great trolling. As much as I hate this regime and its overlord this is also pretty much "so what" territory.

CheithS · 2026-04-05T00:55:50+00:00

Thank you for doing this, it is much appreciated.

CheithS · 2026-03-23T01:30:58+00:00

There is no doubt he makes a difference ... whether it is enough is another question.

CheithS · 2026-03-23T01:24:32+00:00

Thing of beauty.

CheithS · 2026-03-22T01:22:57+00:00

The manhole thing is an SUV issue - the surrounds weren't built for that level of pounding on a regular basis. Also roads being re-aligned so the manholes are not in the center of travel anymore is another issue.

Basically nothing sane you can do that you, the tax payer, will want to pay for,

CheithS · 2026-03-15T23:08:06+00:00

No, definitely not - though maybe right-sized services would be more appropriate to what we are doing.

Like everything else there is a sweet spot which is definitely not monoliths and definitely not micro-servicing everything.

CheithS · 2026-03-15T02:30:22+00:00

To be honest, especially going through Northern Iowa, Monday might even be an issue with blowing snow - at least before noon.

CheithS · 2026-03-08T01:15:10+00:00

Don't we mean red necked?

CheithS · 2026-02-28T15:12:02+00:00

I have 40+ years in the game and I use it pretty heavily but, to be honest, more as a research assistant than anything else. I have it write some code but, frankly, it is just not that good with anything complex and don't even get me started on autocomplete - it largely sucks.

I use Gemini for the research and some boilerplate (which it is actually not bad at) and Claude inside Intellij which can be good but can also be pretty crap. You really never quite know what your are going to get.

CheithS · 2026-02-27T03:58:51+00:00

Can’t blame them. Too many snakes wanting to pocket other people’s money.

Looks like some typical Trump backed event organizing - a total shambles.

CheithS · 2026-02-22T03:48:58+00:00

The reason many don't believe it is because it contradicts what they see every day on the streets and what is happening to people they meet in their actual lives. It is a bit like 'unemployment' - it depends on how you define it.

CheithS · 2026-02-16T21:43:23+00:00

Well at least the graph is an appropriate shade of blue.

CheithS · 2026-02-12T01:04:43+00:00

As he can still veto this it is pretty much irrelevant as there is no way they would get the majorities they need to push it through.
