$25 dollar cocktails in Washington DC. $16 sandwiches from a gas station in Northern Virginia. It's everywhere.

It is everywhere, but SF really brings it to another level. Its wild.

Trump is solidifying control over (North and South) American oil to ensure oil reserves in the event of a global war. China's first move would be to control middle eastern and russian oil - choking manufacture.

There is a war coming. A larger war.

Exactly. Breadmaker is only as good as the last loaf. Software only needs to be perfect once.

I am getting a real sensation of what can only be described as warm fuzzies. I may have fallen deeply in love with this blog.

And here's the blog article describing the widget: https://maurycyz.com/misc/ads/

I know this is tongue in cheek, but writing functional code in an object oriented language, or even worse just taking a giant procedural trail of tears and spreading it across a few files like a roomba through a pile of dog doo is ... well.. a code smell at best.

I have a user prompt saved called clean code to make a pass through the changes and remove unused, DRY and refactor - literally the high points of uncle bob's Clean Code. It works shockingly well at taking AI code and making it somewhat maintainable.

After forcing myself over years to apply various OOP principles using multiple languages, I believe OOP has truly been the worst thing to happen to me personally as engineer. Now, I believe what you actually see is just an "aesthetics" issue, moreover it's purely learned aesthetics.

Does its output follow the "no comments needed" principle of the uncle Bob?

Not so much tongue in cheek, but a little on the light side, sure.

I'd argue writing functional code in C++ (which is multi-paradigm anyway), or Java, or Typescript is fine!

Care to share the prompt? Sounds useful!

Sure. Please improve it and come back around to let me know.

I have the same in my area, but instead the lights are synchronized to slow traffic as much as possible. They literally coordinate to make you stop at as many lights as possible and grid lock at rush hour so the highway doesn't get flooded.

I walk my kids to school, but when I do drive the 1.1 miles there are no less than 12 stoplights/stop signs.

Now you're relying on Jimmy "Buck" Rawgers born and raised in Billton county working at the DOT setting the speed limits and the traffic light cadence.

How many roads are 35 when they should be 50 simply because some local yokel asshole made a stink at city counsel 10 years ago and now it's impossible to change?

I had a coworker legitimately put wait statements in his code so that later he could remove them and report the optimizations. I approved a few of them

> paper valuation

Don't allow loans against equity ownership. If you can take a loan against it, you should be taxed on it.

> artwork, rare collection

Tax the insured value. If it can be insured for 100 bucks, it should be taxed on 100 bucks.

Now my corporation owns my house, I rent from myself and since the rent my corp is charging is so incredibly low its essentially a write off.

That arrangement will not pass IRS muster.

Not that the system would not be abused, but the obvious exploit is not going to work.
