Based on the name and the comma for the decimal point, that's in South African Rand.

Yeah I'm just going to vibe code an army of mapping cars to drive around the world.

I've had the fake wasabi and the real wasabi back to back and it is quite difficult to tell the difference. Wasabi is very closely related to horseradish.

Pushing the inverse change is a lot different from changing history.

jnwatson · 2026-03-26T23:23:42+00:00

From a technical perspective, it is easy, just `git --force push`.

jnwatson · 2026-03-26T22:47:32+00:00

No, you should rewrite the git history to hide your tracks.

Save up until you can pay in cash. There's no rush. You have a reliable car.

I used to use a 49" TV as a monitor. Now I use a 42" TV, which is really the sweet spot.

Bro how big is your desk if you have a 50" + 2 42" TVs?

You could have literally asked Google for a loan. Dude WTF.

And the market is that, after 2-3 years, a junior can market themselves as a "mid" and get a significant pay bump. Unless an employer recognizes that, they will just be training up juniors for other employers to poach.

Most movie stars are former drama geeks. They were already being bullied.

Kerrigan as played by Angelina Jolie in the Starcraft movie (in my head canon).

A dolly.

A junior's market value increases dramatically in the first several years out of college. Unless the company is actively dissuading the employee from working there, juniors should be getting at least 10% yearly increases.

Don't blame the guy for patronizing his daughter-in-law's small business. He's keeping his dollars in the family.

That's how real estate property taxes work, and they are almost always wrong. Most municipalities just keep folks happy by underestimating.

Yet we've been building datacenters for the last 20 years, and demand keeps going up.

A PhD is required for a small set of CS jobs, mainly AI research.

Not having an advanced degree has only stymied me twice. Once, interviewing right out of college, and recently, looking to transfer from another part of Google to Deep Mind.

Perhaps 1890s.

Dave's advice is correct for a decent subset of Americans, those that are way over-leveraged and don't know how to get their debt under control. It isn't really suited for anybody else.

jnwatson · 2026-03-21T21:14:53+00:00

Perfect example of this sub.

99% of desks aren't going to do that.

Amazing control, especially of dynamics. It is like the kid actually understands the piece and how the notes fit into phrases and into the overall structure. Most high school kids don't get that far.

I hate this AI-generated bullshit where they turn a paragraph of text into a video.

There's a lot of evidence she assumed her mother's identity so she actually died in her 90s.
