I am becoming the master of cooking things in the microwave. I no longer need to use a stove or oven. I was able to literally cook pasta and make this obscure Croatian dish with it.

The idea, that we live in a simulation is ridiculous 

@LukeAlmighty I think the fact that we can run simulations for things faster than they happen is a good indicator we are not in a simulation.

Is CouchDB any good? I really need a simple document-oriented DB because I'm fed up with mind-bending, nested queries, and I had a hard time installing MongoDB. I also rather using something that is FOSS or is at least open-core.

Do you ever get the feeling that everything is breaking down all at once?

Forget about starting a family or buying a house. It's becoming harder and harder for young men and women just to put food on the table.

And those lucky ones who defy the odds and manage to start a family sure aren't spending their time at neighbourhood barbecues while the kids play a game of pick-up street hockey. Today, they'd be lucky to pry the kids away from their device long enough for them to notice that there are other kids in their neighbourhood. Not that the parents are any better at living life.

What's everyone doing on those devices? Scrolling through their never-ending social media feeds of doom porn and ragebait, of course! They're busy watching Israel holocaust Palestine and NATO inch closer to nuclear war with Russia and people at home engaging in public freakouts as society disintegrates and the world devolves into madness.

That faith in the ability of hard work and determination to help us all improve the planet and leave a better place for our children? Gone. Replaced by a sinking feeling that the world is heading to hell in a handbasket and that maybe it isn't worth saving anyway.

Yes, from the macrocosm of geopolitical crises and financial trickery to the microcosm of economic disintegration and spiritual malaise, it seems like everything that could go wrong is going wrong. Increasingly, it feels like we're just bystanders watching the messy spectacle play out on our screens, digital drivers rubbernecking at the car crash of chaos unfolding on the information superhighway.

Anyone have connections in companies that treat their software engineers right that are either remote friendly or have offices in San Diego? Looking for a senior software engineer position.

I got laid off at the start of the year, and even with a CV written by a pro I've gotten a horrible response rate. The only companies I've even gotten so much as a phone screen from are ones where they contacted me first.
