I have two people in my extended family that graduated like 2 years apart. Same college, similar degrees in Tech. One got a job before they ever left college, during a career fair. The other one neve landed that software job.

"the Ukrainian population, which in its majority does not want this war either." The only Ukrainian population that wanted this ware are the pro-Russian traitors. So yes, she's right in that regard.

You can't run the experiment (execution) without a hypothesis (up front thinking). And without feedback and reflection (analysis and conclusion), your experiment is not done. And yet....

I feel like the world of software keeps trying to take shortcuts when doing experiments and rediscovering the scientific method and experimentation again and again.

I had a car that had a gauge that was off by 1/4 tank. When you were at 1/4 tank, you were running on empty, I would start stalling up hills sometimes because I didn't notice the level.

its definitely slop, given how it just casually uses the nohello.net example of asking for the time of the meeting, and its general style. "inspired" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the footer.

Now flip sides. Your two hands are Ukraine's capability. Grab onto something heavy with both hands. Then call a friend over to help you hold that thing too. Both of you will hold that thing for much longer than just you alone. 2/2

Daniil Marchenko 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @daniilmarchenko.com · 01/09/2026

Let me explain it to you using your own two hands. Your two hands are Russia's capability. Grab something heavy with both hands. Now, let go with one hand and grab something else with it. This is what would happen to Russia if NATO and Russia went to war. 1/2

Daniil Marchenko 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @daniilmarchenko.com · 01/09/2026

That's a non-sequitur, and has nothing to do with your ridiculous idea that somehow, it will be worse for Ukraine if other countries join it in its fight against Russia.

Ah yes, more allies actively involved in a war somehow hurts, I guess.

Simply put, an end consumer can afford to spend part of their annual salary to buy and maintain a robot, whereas the job that employs the consumer can afford their whole salary to buy and maintain a robot. And that robot won't need sleep, overtime, 401k, a health plan, or paid time off.

Daniil Marchenko 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @daniilmarchenko.com · 30/08/2026

We will never get an autonomous robot capable of doing menial tasks showing up in people's homes. Because as soon as we do, we will also get a robot that can do all manual labor across all industries, and with the collapse of jobs, it will be cheaper to hire manual labor than to get a robot.

russia's aggression is illegal. russia has no legitimate targets in Ukraine. Neither civilian nor military. None. Ukraine, on the other hand, has legitimate targets in russia — those aimed at weakening russia's ability to wage this war of aggression. It really is that simple.

But Reagan was not one of the best. I mean, he was if you're part of the very very rich that he served, but for the rest of Americans? no, he was not.

It's missing like 10 presidents, including both Bushes. From a Republican perspective though, the most interesting one that is missing is Reagan.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with a highly religious trump supporter during election. Me: He cheated on his wives, slept with a porn star and so on and so forth. Them: How dare you speak ill of others. Speaking ill of others is wrong! Me: I'm not speaking ill, I'm just listing what he did.

The article is about Russia systematically using drones to probe air defenses in Europe, looking for weaknesses to exploit. Why they call actual attacks "hybrid," though, is beyond me. Maybe if they just called them attacks, they’d actually have to do something about it. 🤷‍♀️

After realizing that most of what I'm reading is 1. Ai slop from LLMS at work 2. AI slop from LLMS on social media I've decided to read something written long before computers came out. I'm less than a dozen pages into "The Great Gatsby" and I already had to look up two words in the dictionary.

Russia and Ukraine already had that deal. Ukraine was a neutral state, not joined to any NATO, Russia already signed multiple documents including the 2004 border treaty signed by Putin himself. None of that helped. There's no need to replay the last 30 years for those that haven't paid attention

Why is 19th-century imperial logic that would sound grotesque and offensive when applied to any other country still considered acceptable when it comes to russia and Ukraine? Would many people seriously suggest that the US should return to British rule because Americans speak English?

Remember that in extreme heat the nearest free, air conditioned (or at least cooler), open for everyone and free space is your local public library. And they even have books for you to pass the time when you cool off!

I've lost count of how many times a conversation with a brainwashed person ended with them saying "we can't know what's true" while they insist on holding to their opinion they themselves just admitted is not verifiably true.

Nineteen russian ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and Shahed drones are raining down on Kyiv right now. This is horrific. The UNESCO-listed Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra has been targeted. A thousand years of Ukrainian history, faith, and culture are once again under attempted destruction.
