The reason I posted this tale is it taught me as a child to be kind to a machinery that behaves human-like. That's why I usually start my conversations with LLMs with "Would you please" while rationally understanding that they are most likely are not sentient beings. What are your fiction stories that gave you similar effect?

It's a translation of famous Lithuanian writer Vytautė Žiliskaite compilation of fairy tales which consists a tale about a preprogrammed robot interaction with a moth.

It seems that no one is playing basketball these days... It looks like that only one out of 10 has players.

You don't hate Jira, you hate capitalism

Apparently this project is now fully open sourced and developed outside Microsoft https://github.com/BosqueLanguage/BosqueCore/discussions/66#...

I don't understand business model of the company behind Penpot (Kaleidos). Their products doesn't offer anything paid but I see a button "Invest in us". For me this tells that their products will eventually become non-free and only open-source in a way that it can export SVG.

I think that most of those railroads have nothing to do with children operation - it was just a narrow gouge standard railway for less intensive commuting, some specific industrial purposes (like bringing fresh cut wood from forest or clay from careers) or even military (railroad system build around Vilnius during Polish rule in 1930's to provide ammunition to underground forts) and some was built way before soviet union occupied Baltics.

In Lithuania this narrow gouge standard is called "Siaurukas" (eng. "narrowy") and some parts are still being operated as a tourist attraction [1][2]

I will never trust Adobe on their development platforms after they were lying to developers about bright Flash future while silently killing it and wasting number of years of their careers on dead horse.

Current Croatia's president Zoran Milanović is planning to veto this. Parliament and PM is against veto.

This tool is perfect for generating useless LinkedIn content. For example this phrase was auto-completed "Yesterday I had an interview with a candidate":

Yesterday I had an interview with a candidate for a mid-level developer role. At the end of the interview, we asked about his background in IT and found out that he'd never used any sort of development tools or language except Visual Basic in the past. He'd just stuck with the IDE that came with his software.

Although I understand the desire to do things the way you're familiar with and comfortable with, this is probably the most dangerous mistake you can make in the context of hiring. I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I want to share what I think is an important lesson with you.

In the past several years, Ruby on Rails has gone from new kid on the block to the dominant application server for most new web applications. Although Ruby is a great language, the community has been known to turn on new developers at times, and it can be a bit overwhelming for a newcomer.

Lithuanian and Latvian is not slavic and Slovio would not be understood by their native speakers.

Vue 3 perhaps is ready but not its ecosystem. Important libraries (like form management) port to v3 is still in alpha. It was one of the most painful development experiences because of that.

I already had a front-end development job in my home country when I arrived to Copenhagen to deliver news papers at night. Tried to get a dev job there but I was rejected without interviews. Went back to my home country when I understood that the only job I can do is programming.

Is it hard to make it recognize mirror strokes?

In Eastern Europe this method was called "mayak" (beacon) and disappeared when calls became practically free even when SMS services was free much earlier because calling has a higher possibility to be noticed by callee.

My guess that the real story is that someone from above told HR department about salary raises but changed their mind after mass mail was sent. So they needed some excuse and came with this lame shit.

You can embed any language interpreter into TypeScript and have that language syntaticaly checked by TS compiler.

I think that the problem is not that coders don't want to learn COBOL but that it's so niche language and you have almost no job mobility. If corporations would offer contracts with extra huge severance packages then IMO there would appear enough COBOL enthusiasts.

Impressive! It's interesting for me if such grade CSS developers get same compensation as their JavaScript counterparts.

Bhutan almost haven't changed. Only in 2008 they had first elections.

In autumn 1939, the Soviet Union, pursuing its strategic military and defensive goals, started the process of the incorporation of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Their accession to the USSR was implemented on a contractual basis, with the consent of the elected authorities. This was in line with international and state law of that time.

Complete bullshit

I bet this will the hottest web-design trend for next two years.

I think author haven't seen Slim or Pug templating languages

TypeScript, I'd say.

In Lithuania and perhaps in similar countries Pascal is still main programming language in classrooms. Also no other language has beaten Pascal in number of released books so it will stay for very long time.

It funny that colored scrollbars work again and in Firefox :)

I never heard of this company. How did they get that data?

It has lowest change of having worms inside which are not kosher. Most other mushrooms needs checking if it's not worm-eaten.

There was a 50yo man in Lithuania that made bet that he will not die from Amanita phalloides (because scientist are hiding the truth etc.) as he didn't die from Amanita muscaria previous year.

So he died in 5 days.

It's the only kosher mushroom.
