  • Boston is like 30% tourists, and 69% college students from out of town. Unless you’re in maybe Dorchester or whatever is left of ungentrified South or East Boston.

  • Anyone in tech confirm?

    Jump

  • Worked in tech for 18 years, now I fix rust old cars and try not to touch computers beyond looking up wiring diagrams and replacement parts.

  • I used to write html, JS, and CSS on long flights and saw some side eye looks, but then I’d have to test load the website I was working on for mom jeans and the jig was up.

  • Latitudes

    Jump

  • The weather in New England and upper New York is very much like German weather, and sometimes worse. We’ve had snow on the grounds since the 30th of November and it’s only barely reached 0C in the last week.

    It was -15C a couple nights ago at roughly the latitude of Rome, next to the ocean too. And only about 50km northwest (inland) it went down to -25C.

    This has been a colder December than average for the last decade, but we have mountains that regularly get meters of snow each winter, and they are way lower elevation than the alps too. Also as we all know the last decade has been stoopid warm.

    Mt Washington has measured the highest wind speed in the world.

  • Programmers are no longer needed!

    Jump

  • I used to use ORMs because they made switching between local dev DBs ( like SQLLite, or Postgres) and production DBs usually painless. Especially for Ruby/Sinatra/Rails since we were writing the model queries in another abstraction. It meant we didn’t have to think as much about joins and all that stuff. Until the performance went to shit and you had to work out why.

  • Bun has been acquired by Anthropic

    Jump

  • Or just building a straight close of your idea and crushing you. Happened to my startup.

  • Advertising_irl (Art by Igdoods)

    Jump

  • I used to work in advertising and it was already a soul crushing career 10 years before AI tools arrived.

  • if you believe that aliens are real and have or are visiting earth, what do you hope to see happen if the government or science confirms that?

    Jump

  • Even then it would be most likely seeded by a probe from so distant that they’d never be able to travel here. Think Voyager probe, but maybe faster. If we’d sent one with a bio seed package and sent it right at the best life supporting planet we could find it’s still gonna be 10s or 100s of thousands of years before it even arrives, then a couple hundred million years for anything to evolve there.

    It would be sorta hilarious if we were a distant science experiment though.

  • 'Suddenly exposed' DOGE employees fear prosecution after Musk abandoned them: report

    Jump

  • The data theft and possible espionage seems like an even bigger liability for them. They know they did illegal shit, and those star link antennas were there for that reason.

  • Arrived at the point overlooking Machu Pichu in mid-afternoon. The light was perfect, and a llama posed for me.

    Jump

  • I haven’t been, but I thought the long hike limited the amount of visitors, or possibly tour ticketing as well.

    I don’t think the matted grass is too bad considering that really any minor traffic in a limited area will compact the soil too much for grass to grow.

    At least they have an erosion control in mind.

  • Maker of Onewheel launches wild new electric mini bike that does self-balancing wheelies

  • You mean like a Carriage. Where the term car came from?

  • And snakes hide in grass.

  • Yamaha launches new electric scooter with Honda's swappable batteries

    Jump

  • Shared scooters end up being a mess for cities to clean up though. See Lime, Bird etc.

    Many people don’t seem to want to take care of things they don’t feel invested in, or that are used by other people. It’s why we can’t have nice things.

  • Trump says Mamdani can call him a ‘fascist’ as socialist NYC mayor-elect looks right at home in White House

    Jump

  • Pretty sure the Trump team would have plastered that all over the media if it had happened.

  • what do you use to add weight?

    Jump

  • Good choice and those wheel weights aren’t too expensive either. Plus they stick in place. I’ve got a bunch left over from replacing rusty ones on my snow tires too!

  • It hit a phone pole 20 feet from our house once and killed our router and everything connected the the coaxial cable.

    All the windows rattled in our house and if it weren’t for the flash you’d think a semi drove into it.

  • Lightning and distant clouds are the only thing I miss about living in the flat Midwest.

    Mountains and blizzards are a good trade off though. We get thunderstorms too, but if you see a lightning bolt, you’re probably in danger of either dying or frying some of the electronics in your home. And your ears will be ringing.

  • iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots."

    Jump

  • I was working with the education division about a decade and a bit ago when they had an open source platform with sensors and motors. Then iRobot abruptly killed that division too, right as our project was getting going.

    I haven’t felt good about that company since.

  • US Mint says it has stamped its last penny, a historic end for a humble coin

    Jump

  • I live both north and east of NYC, I want the later sunlight in summer and winter. The first hour of light is wasted on me and many others. Farmers maybe not, but around here that’s pretty much over by late October anyway.

    I’ve also lived at the most extreme opposite end of the Eastern time zone in Michigan, and like the late evening sunlight even more!
