Maybe not a breakthrough compared to some of the other comments but home assistant got local voice control this year. For the price of a raspberry pi and a 13 dollar microphone you can have a completely local home automation system controlled by your voice. You can even hook it up to a LLM like chat gpt if you want via a different phrase to do some fun party tricks

Also using plugins like camelcamelcamel can help with this. Shows you a graph of history for prices

Hot take. Any day before December 1st is too early.

I mean I was being sarcastic. He’s gonna be just fine. He will live better than 95% of the population. He was the head of a company valued at 50+ billion. This guy is not being paid less than 300k. Him being fired isn’t going to change his life style in any dramatic fashion like it would an average person.

I mean the guy was easily making gobs of money. I don’t think he needs anymore money. Did he make less than others? Maybe. But he wasn’t at the bread bank looking for handouts.

I disagree. It compiles answers in a nice easy place with no ads. Change an int to a string using c# and 9 times out of 10 I’m in and out. I can feed it my code and it corrects it. Is it perfect? Nope but it beats being berated by experts

Woa woa. They caused him emotional damage. He deserves more money /s

I would argue the instance still gets indexed by Google and if it was around I could Google search for the result.

Even if my instance never interacted with that instance?

It’s not about visiting a forum post I made in 2007. It’s about visiting a forum post about an obscure issue that someone solved in 2007.

I see this as a big issue for content going forward. I get that reddit is one single point of failure but I wonder how you can keep knowledge in a static state when most instances lose money and it’s a hobby. What happens when the owner grows tired.

Be hard-working but loyalty will take you almost no where. Every 2 years you should start looking for a new job with better pay and less hats. If you are a year in and hate it just switch to somewhere new. I got 2% raises at jobs year to year but switching jobs for me got 20% - 40% more.

Counter point. I would wager people are more productive scrolling 5 minutes through a Facebook post then taking a 30 minute coffee break talking to various coworkers. I would hate this. Also if you’re a developer how would you research something? No stack overflow? No access to forums to solve particular problems? Not sure this is sustainable.

Take note you proprietary overlords! The market wants more user repairable parts!!
