Predictably people are moving back to SMS for notifications. Not as nice for linking to your app but once the user opts in you don't have to deal with the Apple/Google complexity.

French immigration is currently allowing remote workers on the one year visitor visa, so long as your company doesn't have a presence in France. Basically, as long as you are not doing business in France or taking a job from a local they are fine with it.

However, it's difficult to proceed to a residency permit in this situation, and you can't join the national healthcare system.

Senator Wyden has been pretty focused on it. I think it's going to take some changes in Congress before it happens though.

You won't find a 50 year old American Chestnut anywhere lol, they were wiped out almost entirely.

You're moving the goalposts on his poor analogy :)

Most of the trees do just fine, and these nurseries will typically provide a warranty.

On the contrary, you can solve the tree problem with money. There are nurseries that sell mature trees -- most people though will not choose to spend $20k on a tree.

It's a strategy that's only really available to the ultra wealthy, because the banks are willing to give them a bespoke loan with a much lower interest rate that's payable after they die. There's also a complex trust setup to pass the asset to their heirs.

Another tangent that I didn't see in the thread is that the Supreme Court just confirmed a ruling that LLM created art isn't copyrightable since the author must be human for copyright to apply.

If the new code was generated entirely by an LLM, can it be licensed at all? Or is it automatically in the public domain?

I'm working on a language learning framework based on the ideas of comprehensible input and spaced repetition learning.

The idea is you take a book you want to read, and it gets translated but also rewritten to match your current learning level. And as you read/listen it introduces new words to learn, reinforced by spaced repetition.

We're taking a trip to France this summer and I'm hoping to have something usable for at least a couple months before we go.

Currently working on the mechanics of extracting content from ebooks.

Same in Oregon. Snowpack way below normal.

Canned beans are already cooked, so add them at the end to heat through. Or, start from dried beans, but it takes experimentation to get them to the desired texture.

If you have GitHub copilot you can create github issues and assign them to copilot. All you need is a browser.

A lot of backwards looping is a remnant of efficient loops in programming days of yore - you compare your iterator to 0 each time, which is slightly more efficient than comparing to another variable.

We've been using Dato for 5 years or so - a bit of a weird use case probably, we're driving configuration of our internal EHR with it. But it is very nice for creating a structured set of data models and then you've got a nice UI to input the data and a nice API for grabbing the data, all of which the engineering team didn't need to build.

It's been rock solid for us.

As an actual customer, I have the opposite reaction. They are doing well and that gives me peace of mind.

First time hearing of it.

At first glance it looks more complicated than DBOS, not easier. DBOS is just a library and doesn't require a special DSL.

Also we use node which it Little horse doesn't seem to support.

We recently started using DBOS for durable execution - it's much easier to integrate than Temporal and it Just Uses Postgres(tm), which is nice.

I looked at lustre for a recent project and it seems very nice. But the ecosystem is pretty small yet (I could find no examples of auth, for one), so I ended up going with liveview.

I'm hoping it succeeds and gets bigger because I really like its ergonomics.

You don't have to be rich to move to Europe. The cost of living in most European countries is less than the USA (which you would expect, given their lower salaries).

I don't know about Thailand, but in France you can apply to join their healthcare system after 3 months. In the meantime you must have private insurance but it's a fraction of what it is here.

How does one practically avoid flu exposure?

Swim lessons don't require you to swim every day for the rest of your life

I asked our allergist about oral immunotherapy for my daughter and he cited a study that found that avoidance was more effective in preventing severe reactions.

Jujutsu is along the lines of what you describe: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj

You can drop it in and work seamlessly from git repos

Early on in the container hype cycle we decided to convert some of our services from VMs to ECS. It was easy to manage and the container build times were so much better than AMI build times.

Some time down the road we got acquired, and the company that acquired us ran their services in their own Kubernetes cluster.

When we were talking with their two person devops team about our architecture, I explained that we deployed some of our services on ECS. "Have you ever used it?" I asked them.

"No, thank goodness" one of them said jokingly.

By this time it was clear that Kubernetes had won and AWS was planning its managed Kubernetes offering. I assumed that after I became familiar with Kubernetes I'd feel the same way.

After a few months though it became clear that all these guys did was babysit their Kubernetes cluster. Upgrading it was a routine chore and every crisis they faced was related to some problem with the cluster.

Meanwhile our ECS deploys continued to be relatively hassle free. We didn't even have a devops team.

I grew to understand that managing Kubernetes was fun for them, despite the fact that it was overkill for their situation. They had architected for scale that didn't exist.

I felt much better about having chosen a technology that didn't "win".

Since he didn't graft, the fruit from the trees he planted would have mostly been unpleasant to eat. But still fit to ferment alcohol from, or feed to livestock.

The 50/50 shirts are great. I've got a stripe shirt that first turned me on to them and I went online and bought a bunch of blank ones in different colors.

My current company found a similar shirt from bella+canvas that is also great. It and the stripe shirt are the only vendor shirts in my regular rotation.

Measure 110 did two things:

- recreational drug possession became a ticketable offense, similar to traffic violations. You have the choice of fighting the ticket or going to treatment

- funded treatment with $300mm from cannabis taxes

The problem is Oregon took years to decide who to give the treatment money to. Only last year did they actually start funding treatment.

In the meantime, police hadn't been writing tickets, since the treatment options didn't actually exist yet.

Essentially drug use was entirely ignored for a couple years.

So is measure 110 a failure? It's too soon to say. Certainly the rollout has been.

One unintended consequence is that Oregon has no law against public drug use, leaving this issue to cities/counties. If they don't have such a law, public drug use is essentially legal, since police used to rely on possession to stop it.

One thing that has gone right is the reduction of the burden on the court system. The state saved about $40mm over the first 3 years.

I'm merely pointing out that internet rumors about his death are false.

I have no idea if he followed his own diet or if his diet is healthy or not, but if you have references to studies this thread is sorely lacking.

Atkins died of a head injury when he slipped on some ice, FYI
