Where/how did he learn to code? What resources?

Can these negative effects be countered/offset by continuing weight training? I lift 2-4 days a week.

It's written in Java. Jesus.

If you want to send a million $ in USDC, BTC or another digital asset, can't you just send 9999 100 times and resolve the difference on fees?

Blog post, not blog?

Merry Christmas :)

The EUR is below parity with the Dollar. Heaps worse.

The negative outcomes are mainly due to societal stigmatization. Which explains the 'not telling the whole story' pretty well too. It's not exactly great dinner conversation.

Source please?

Ps I'm not advocating it as a career option but I know some people are drawn to it and genuinely like it. Reddit is/was full of people doing it for free and I don't think it's a bad idea to try to make a job out of it for those people.

This content, free or not is a net negative on society.

Not everyone who finds it objectionable is prudish or an American "Chirtian".

I personally find it deeply harmful and a net negative on society and I'm neither of those things.

Guidance (microsoft) - almost abandoned - https://github.com/microsoft/guidance

Low quality naive summary.

Your analysis is based on what's possible now. This is the worst it'll ever be.

Look at Guidance - that's being ignored by Microsoft yet it's an official repo

Anything like this but for Python?

Consider Argo Workflows.

B) there’s a lot of tricky stuff with indices on PG and you generally need a DB admin from day 1

Sorry this is absolute nonsense. Any software engineer worth their salary should be comfortable working with RDBMS index concepts and interrogating their relational model to determine best practice and direction for table indexing.

Is the old MS tactic of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish? Albeit through the mask of OpenAI / Altman?

You are clearly lying here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Barrack#cite_note-:4-19

I second this.

Zero regret. Leaving is heart surgery and within 10 years of officially leaving I don't think we'll be worse off.

I recommend whatever you do you must: * ensure good nutrition * ensure good sleep patterns * exercise 3-5 days a week

What project?

Do you mean polars reading Parquet into DuckDB to process that amount of data?

I wonder sometimes how much of it is down to dotty old age and approaching dementia, and if you should forgive people for that.

Or maybe not everyone shares the same views as you?

He is not terrible person for these views. If you disagree with his views then do so with counter argument rather than the "wahh racist see now I don't have to engage" approach.

Furthermore I'm sure I don't have to quote Voltaire for you

Indeed. 215k abortions in the UK last year: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/abortion-statistics...

Outrageous.

100% this. Thank you for the nuanced response.

My village general shop has all fruit & veg as normal. This shortage is a media obsession.

Wow yeah please give me more woke nonsense reboots to perpetuate the demoralisation

Toxic attitude. I hope to hell to not work with someone like that.

My village shops don't have this problem in the south of the UK here.

How do we maintain the originals?
