Enforceable where? How? An agreement with an exchange of value is not always enforceable either. So, although I too hope exchange of value would add more legitimacy to an agreement, it is not always the case.
I literally had to reinstall this to a new free instance on Saturday after getting my instance deleted accidentally.
I have been tracking and exporting backups of my finances using Firefly since 2020. I am young, my finances are nothing fancy, they are mostly credit card purchases, my salary, and my rent.
I love the flexibility of personally serving this on a dedicated server. Similar to the other commenter it consumes a lot of my time too. I tried to automate by writing small custom shortcuts in Apple Shortcuts for repeated things like posting a grocery purchase. Firefly has a comprehensive API, I have widgets on my homescreen showing my credit card balances at all times etc.
I like knowing how much I spend on grocery each month, how much I spent clothing last year vs this year, the effect of having a Costco membership. It is fun and I am sure in the next 10 years it will be so much more interesting looking at data from early years.
I wrote my graduate school thesis on Intel SGX. I was not a good student in grad school, my thesis was not some innovative thing but now it is completely useless.
Edit: There is another comment linking an article from Intel saying SGX is full steam ahead in Xeon. Yay my thesis is not useless!
Does the article mention this? Sorry I have been looking for this information and did not see it. Regardless I am a Mint Mobile user and I don’t think I gave my SSN to Mint. Hell I don’t even think they have my DOB.

Yep, here you go:
"No Metro by T-Mobile, former Sprint prepaid, or Boost customers had their names or PINs exposed," T-Mobile said. "We have also confirmed that there was some additional information from inactive prepaid accounts accessed through prepaid billing files. No customer financial information, credit card information, debit or other payment information or SSN was in this inactive file."
I've yet to see a useful master's degree. Especially in the US and in STEM it seems like master's has just been a gate to the next thing.
I have a master's and one of the biggest reasons behind my education was the opportunity in the US after the master's. Sole benefit of it has been the OPT (~3 years work visa). I learned small things here and there during my education but as an SWE I don't use them at all and I forgot the rest of my classes. I wrote a thesis but it was nowhere near a PhD level research.
Additionally higher entry level areas such as ML and AI often require PhD so getting a master's is not getting your foot in the door.
Master's Degree in Social Work is required for licensing in the US (LCSW). To teach at a community college it's generally required to have a Master's degree as well.
"useful" is in the eye of the beholder. I would expect a company hiring manager to put a candidate with a Master's degree higher on the pile than those with high school or Bachelor's degrees, too.
I am a non-native English speaker. “Even I” would come to my mind first and then that.
For some reason it means “I also” in Indian English and it sounds weird to non Indian dialect.
Like “Even I don’t understand this” sounds obnoxious to me because in my mind it means “Even I, an almighty being, don’t understand this, who are you to think you can understand it” but it means “I also don’t understand” in Indian English.
According to google “Even” as adverb: used to emphasize something surprising or extreme. So I assume what I think at first is what native English speakers also think.
I hear this daily and I know what it meant to mean now, I had a friend who did not know this and thought her Indian colleague was talking down to her.
"Even I" is pretty common for native speakers, although it's normally used to break an assumption rather than being a full replacement for "I also".
For example: you are in a class and someone asked a question about a topic. The person next to you turns and says "I can't believe they don't understand this topic." Your neighbor is making the assumption that you also understand it. So if you didn't understand the topic, a response could be "Nah, even I had some questions about it."
Although someone could definitely use it to be condescending, or just trying to be cheeky.
I feel exactly the same. I loved JavaFX and I sometimes dream of an alternative universe where software never went to browser and always stayed on the desktop. JavaFX might have been the king.
Feedback, Off-World was incredibly laggy.
