Years ago a friend gently nudged me away from the usual get-together ice breaker of "what do you do for a living" because it's inherently biased to the well paid professional.

Reddit usage metrics fall thanks to CEO's plan to boost revenue

It has weight when real shops up and move out. I knew the Twitter diaspora was real when big news agencies like NPR and PBS jumped. I canceled my twitter and I had it since the start. I had gone with reddit a long... since digg... I feel like it's quitting cigarettes... I'm breaking thru the fog only now. I will be interested on Jun 30 when all the 3rd party apps stop. But I haven't deleted RIF yet... hard to drop what I paid for.

Clojure : if lisp had an illegitimate baby with java. Add to it the pain of setting up fireplace in vim or having to use emacs. At a former employer we had one area in closure. I could read it without much difficulty but damn if it didn't take me weeks to write or update it

After 2nd ICE murder in Minneapolis, community demands ‘Killer ICE off our streets!’

I was at a MN Frost game at Xcel (Grand Casino) center tonight. They put his picture up with his birth death years and asked for a moment of silence but the whole stadium erupted in ICE OUT NOW chants .. Cameramen had to constantly move shots due to ICE OUT signs and people using middle finger mouthing f... Ice. This is hockey.. not a "liberal" sport... The whole of MN wants them out... I support Waltz bringing in national guard to protect US... Don't believe FauxNews... The Guard is there to protect Minnesotians...
