Si vis pacem, para bellum


Finance, consulting, some kinds of real estate-adjacent jobs.


Finance seems like a fair enough answer, although it always sounded a bit like a meat grinder, and how many of these jobs are there?

Consulting seems like something you need ivy league status and/or the right connections to get into, and probably requires lots of travel, and again, how many of these jobs are there?

If you're half decent at some corporate friendly language, you can have a pretty above average salary without needing to work all that hard. Current market notwithstanding, there are loads of people employed doing this, some of them entirely from the comfort of their own homes.


Sounded in Gruber's review like they have something that sort of incidentally does that https://arc.net/l/quote/wgcwgxod


Ordered one but have fairly low expectations. I guess my main fear is that it really takes off, and there is a huge improvement in the V2 that obsoletes this one.


I don’t think that’s likely. It seems that the price is high because Apple wanted the 2030 headset today. If they get moderate success, they will release lower spec versions which will probably not match the Vision Pro for 2 product cycles. So the Vision SE 2 might be on par with the Pro 1. Pro 1 likely to be supported for maybe 6 years, assuming it’s not a big flop and Apple abandons headsets for awhile.


Spotify isn’t really profitable, and their deals with the labels mean that they probably never will be IMO


Hasn’t Sam been there since the company was founded?


I believe she studied mathematics, not finance fwiw


What alternative(s) are you considering?


Very relunctantly, VS Code. The bit I'm actually having the hardest time with is IntellIj's SQL/DB stuff


Thats funny, because their DB tooling is the most bloated and useless for me. DBeaver does it's job well without any massive memory usage


I work in a reallly really massive DB. It works well, and groks all of our crazy schemas, triggers, etc.


Plus I’m really really getting tired of spending $80 every year for the privilege of rent wring a license key.


Jacques Marie Mage are very nice, I'm also a fan of Matsuda.


Thank you.


Paying over 24 months is mildly cheaper due to the time value of money


That's not really the point I am making and I think you know it. BNPL options which let someone split a 500 dollar payment over 2 years are there to encourage people to spend money who otherwise wouldn't feel OK about dropping 500 dollars right then. I.e. if you have to use the BNPL option, you can't afford it in the first place. In fact, if you have to even stop and think about whether it's worth splitting it or not it means it's not a good idea.
