Here are three.

No, it can also be saying "I simply have too many other things to do than worry about what the correct data retention or ban appeal or DSA statement of reasons requirement or DSA statement of reasons transparency DB API or UK Ofcom age verification requirements or..."

Sometimes if you're just one person and the EU isn't a core market and you are a small business or non-profit, it's easier to just say, ok you know what, no thanks to all this for now.

Has Shah Cheragh been destroyed by the US or Israel? I can't find any news about that.

I wonder if its being trained on the human replies to the model, I sometimes write stuff like that back to Claude after I want to finish for the day myself.

You could easily still have a marriage and children.

People are working on this stuff as we speak. Stuff like https://fly.io/blog/design-and-implementation/

It was known publicly later.

Be careful, I would not stay 100% invested or 100% uninvested. The market can remain in an Everything bubble for far longer than we expect (see: since 2008). It can be a lot harder psychologically to get back -into- the market when you're totally out because of sunk cost fallacy (thinking, I gotta wait just a little longer and this thing will finally crash).

Nurse aide? Housekeeping for a hotel, retirement home/nursing home, hospital? patient care tech, lab assistant, phlebotomist, medical courier, etc Substitute teacher? Bus driver? Amazon warehouse worker?

If you need guaranteed work immediately, software is not it. If you want to maximize salary, and can take plenty of time trying and failing, it can be. It doesn't sound like you have that time.

If you are worried about homelessness, you need a radical mindset shift. You should not be thinking about software dev in the slightest.

Are you talking about tech jobs, or -any- job?

If you are six months behind on rent, you just go find a job cleaning shit and fatbergs out of sewers if that's what is available IMO.

My life wouldn't be improved at all, I mostly just wanted to get your reaction because I was curious. I have a person I care about who suffers from schizophrenia and I struggle to tell when they are exaggerating or saying something for comedic effect or hyperbole or if they are making an analogy or are saying something literal, so my question / comment was mostly to hopefully gain some perspective. I could just ask them "are you saying you literally believe X" every few minutes but it's hard to get a word in with them sometimes.

I guess the other point of my comment is potentially for your benefit in that if you want to have many people read your book, I have a fear that a large portion of potential readers will hear your story, open up the book, falsely conclude "oh this guy is still just crazy, this is a sci-fi/mythology text" and close it without reaching the parts that to me were the most interesting. But I would understand if you decide that you don't really care to change anything, just sharing in case it turned out to be helpful.

I read parts of this and found them quite interesting! One of the annoying things about schizophrenia is when someone you care about is in treatment/remission/managing their symptoms, if they use metaphor or symbolism or other similar linguistic devices it can be hard to tell if they are doing that - intentionally using metaphor/symbolism/imagery to make a point, or if they are veering off into a strange delusional statement and something you think is meant to be metaphor is actually written or spoken literally.

I had a similar reaction when first skimming this book in that some of the sections sort of looked almost like allegory or something similar to allegory, but I wasn't sure if it was an artistic/linguistic device or if it was something resultant from schizophrenia.

Do you care to comment about that OP? EG: Metropolis chapter (page 10) through page 19 (Yoshu Prophecies). FWIW my takeaway was to have the charitable view that given your ability to even write this book, these sections are a depiction of some of those psychosis period for some illustrative purpose. But I have a small question in my head about it.

I understand it must be a burden to do have do so, but I wonder if you'd find that others would understand you more if you loudly prefaced usages of these sorts of techniques with their announcement. EG: "This is a metaphor, but _____" or "Here's an example:", or "I don't mean this literally, but ____". Dunno what the preface would be for these parts of the book, and I like I said I skimmed because I'm supposed to be at work rn.

I think what we're missing is certainty, not hope. You used to have more certainty that if you checked all the correct boxes your financial future would be guaranteed. Hope for the future is sort of separate and the most optimistic person could hold on to hope even now, and the most pessimistic person could lack hope even graduating with a CS degree in 2015.

You can have hope even if a positive outcome isn't guaranteed. In fact that is when hope is the most valuable (and maybe also difficult to find).

I hate Trump but Treasury control over central banks and interest rates is not a particularly revolutionary thing. Independent central bank is a relatively new invention and a non-independently controlled central reserve bank did not always lead to immediate implosion in all cases. The concept of independent central bank only became popularized in the 1920s. The world existed before that.

The dire thing here is that Trump himself is a maniac, so him taking control is very scary, but a non-independent central bank itself is not as big a calamity as 1000 other problems we're facing in society.

You can find many criticisms of the job performance of many of the past chairs of the US fed, the Fed is not infallible. The current Everything Bubble / Too Big to Fail situation we are in is largely of their creation.

Was trying to be at least a little helpful "irl_zebra", not to suggest the video was sufficient evidence.

I saw the video a few days ago. It uses some napkin math but the author does at least use a spreadsheet / toy model to arrive at their conclusions.

An AI slop assembly line, nice work!

Offer to trade your teams engineers to work on a product/feature/roadmap item of their choice in exchange for them doing your thing.

Because Gleam compiles to Erlang, it can seamlessly integrate with the larger BEAM ecosystem, including existing Erlang and Elixir OTP applications and libraries.

@external decorator: This escape hatch allows Gleam code to call functions defined in Erlang or Elixir modules. While it bypasses Gleam's type checks for the function call, it provides a powerful way to leverage the full capabilities of the existing OTP ecosystem.

I believe the biggest reason it's hard to replicate OTP fully and quickly is Gleam's type system (but I could be wrong).

Go Generics provides all of this. Prior to generics, you could have filter, map, reduce etc but you needed to implement them yourself once in a library/pkg and do it for each type.

After Go added generics in version 1.18, you can just import someone else's generic implementations of whatever of these functions you want and use them all throughout your code and never think about it. It's no longer a problem.

pretty much all economists and commentators state that the replacement will be a basket of currencies not a single currency, where each countries' basket will be weighted by the typical trade volume they have with other countries (more trade with Country X, then hold more of Country X's currency) plus some factor for stability/volatility/currency risk etc.

This sounds like fodder for a really interesting blog post tbh. I would read it.

I would argue logging options to be more of an exception than the rule. Compare the actual language features of Go to something like Rust or Javascript and you'll see what I mean. As a new developer to the language (especially for juniors), you can learn all the features of Go much faster. It's made to be picked up quickly and for everyone's code to look the same, rather than expressing a personal style.

PVC is considered as the most environmentally damaging plastic and one of the most toxic substances for inhabitants of our planet. From cradle to grave, the PVC lifecycle (production, use, and disposal) results in the release of toxic, chlorine-based chemicals, and it is one of the world's largest dioxin sources.

they don't want to deal with GDPR

or cannot afford to. add in DSA and DMA as additional burdens.

for people with acid reflux / GERD / heartburn at least, the "sleep on your left side" thing has to do with the layout of the esophagus. For whatever reason, sleeping on your left means that gravity helps work to prevent acid reflux, whereas the opposite is true for the right side. Not sure if there's any benefit other than that

For anyone who wants to know more:

This is an application of Jansen's linkage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansen%27s_linkage

There are other similar linkages but Jansen's is quite good.

For anyone who doesn't have an idea why something like this matters or is inspiring beyond art, legged vehicles have many downsides but one big upside is that you can theoretically avoid the rubber/microplastic particulate emission associated with tires and wheeled vehicles if you can make legged vehicles as good as wheeled ones.

Even an electric battery vehicle with an electric motor charged by a solar/wind/nuclear power plant still emits pure poison into the air and waterways through friction between tires and the road.

Good alternatives would be biocompatible tires (Nitinol mesh tires like SMART Tire company's initial prototype that lacked the rubber coating) or legged vehicles.

I love Dirksen, and a very similar channel on YT is called Exploring Alternatives

Not a single mention in the article of their biggest downside, environmental costs.
