    Read the first paragraph. This person sounds like someone who is butthurt that his work was forked and they were made obsolete. If someone took what I started and ran with it, I’d just be glad that I started something and move on.

    I’m sure there is drama in the project. There is drama in every OSS project. Unless it hinders the project from delivering a functional system…who cares? Get over yourself.





  • Per usual, read the article and not just the headline.

    Sounds like he’s talking about banning investor purchases of single family homes. Which is a good thing.

    I fucking hate Trump and he’s wrong about pushing housing prices higher, but banning investor purchases of homes is the right call, so he’s kinda right.

    Also, crashing housing value would destroy anybody who has invested in their home as equity. What needs to happen is a leveling off and investment in cheaper starter home builds, as well as a push for first time homebuyer loans that are low interest and up front down payment.

    I bought my first home on a HomePath mortgage. No PMI, 5% down, and reasonable interest rate that was only a bit higher than a traditional mortgage.

    Getting people into their FIRST homes and making sure they aren’t beat out by cash offers from investors it’s the correct way forward.






  • I had three potential career paths I wanted when I was a kid: Masseuse, Meteorologist, or IT

    After reading about each career, I decided being a Masseuse would destroy my body and give me carpel tunnel and Meteorologist is too restrictive of a career due to the few number of openings.

    I settled on IT and I’m a Network Engineer. I hate it. Pays OK, though.

    Turns out a lot of things you enjoy that you have to then do as a job for 18 years, rather than a hobby, makes you grow to no longer enjoy it.

    My wife appreciates my personal massage skills, though.
