Multiple desktops in Windows can help with this. Ctrl+Win Right/Left cursor keys to switch.

I cant stand it connecting app instances into 1 group. If i have 2 excel files open on Desktop 1, and then i try opening 3rd on Desktop2 -> it will jump back to Desktop 1 and open it there.

An early form of domain squatting

The two things I find unacceptable are no local accounts and non consensual reboots. The latter may need legislation. They don’t even notify you that it happened. They try to restart apps and put things back the way they were but you can still tell that your house was broken into by the missing data that wasn’t saved.

You could say they broke the window(s)

Yep. Perl 6 was a wall that Perl 5 would never move beyond. It’s still Perl 5 25 years later.

An alternative is graduated capital gains rates based on total assets owned (ideally skewed higher, like 10, 50, 100MM, …). Exemptions like QSBS could still be applied. This would allow shareholder control issues to remain unaffected, which wealth taxes never seem to address.

Not sure how to apply it on the corporate side. There are also multi entity workarounds to consider.

Just an idea.

I’ve always been of the opinion tax brackets should be “lifetime earnings” based regardless of income source.

Your first $1M should be taxed differently than your next $10M and so forth.

This is called cognitive offloading. Anyone who’s spent enough time working with coding assistants will recognize it.

Or working as an engineering manager.

It's the inevitable consequence of working at a different level of abstraction. It's not the end of the world. My assembly is rusty too...

I don't think not using assembly is going to affect my brain / my life quality in any significant way, but not speaking / chatting with someone is.

But this is a strawman argument, it's not what the research is talking about.

If LLMs were as reliable as compilers we wouldn’t be checking in their output, and I’d be happy to forget all programming lore.

The “skill domain” with compilers is the “input”: that’s what I need to grok , maintain , and understand . With LLMs it’s the “output”.

until that changes, you’re playing a dangerous game letting those skills atrophy.

Isn't it both on LLMs? The input is your ability to craft a prompt, the output is checking if the prompt worked.

I see that was with Eric. I worked on his phone. It had two keys and the PM developed their own encoding. I strongly advocated for Morse. I wasn’t aware of this patent. Cheers

Eric was quite a character, wasn't he? Nothing was ever dull with him around. It was fun working with him.

I went to his memorial service. There was quite a crowd there. Eric created a ripple in the universe.

LF, MF, and so on are bands, or frequency ranges. AM is a modulation technique. It, like FM and others, can be used on any band (although regulations can limit this).

There was a thread on HN a week ago about this.

A lot will depend on her aptitude and inclination. It sounds like you’re thinking that software is a likely direction. If she’s looking at college, a computer science degree will give her a lot of options. There are also two year and technical schools with similar curricula.

If she goes that route, there are many different types of work. Writing software is the obvious one, but there’s technical project management, engineering management, etc. Again, depends on where her interest lies.

One great thing about being a woman in tech is that it offers great job security and growth potential. For whatever reason there is a real dearth of women in the field, so if she’s good, she’ll be highly sought after.
