“[. . .] the trajectory of the 2010s has been exhausted in a lot of ways. The culture-war topic no longer seems quite as interesting to people. Social media isn’t a place where you can be as creative anymore; all the angles are figured out. Younger people are less interested in things like quote-unquote cancel culture. These were kind of, like, the big pillars we used to navigate pop culture in the 2010s. And we had the rise of all these world-spanning, like, Sauron-esque tech platforms that literally have presences on every continent. People want to make things personal again.”

Translated to coding, it is trying to express the idea that the old way of coding is passé and that new generation of programmers will use new tools.

It doesn’t need to, if AI can double my productivity as a developer, companies only need half as many developers. Once supply overtakes demand you can say goodbye to those crazy salaries we’ve been getting for the last couple of decades.

Sonos runs locally. They make for great AirPlay speakers, the app is really only needed to setup linked systems.

The factor that it was anchored wouldn’t be an issue. But being at anchor very likely means that the boat was not configured for sea and so had hatches and windows open, that you would never be open whilst at sea.

The boat had the world largest in mast furling main sail, which promptly snapped in the storm. My guess was this made the boat top heavy and the wind was strong enough to push it over based on just the force on the mast. The reports say it was listing for a few minutes before sinking, so I guess the guests had their windows open and it flooded.
