I once considered applying, but I gave up because collecting letters of recommendation was a major hurdle. My academic advisor from university has already retired…

How do you all deal with this?

Is this sarcasm, or saying this in a straight face?

Just like the author, I use WebDAV for Joplin, also Zotero. Just love them so much.

We need to keep using open protocols such as WebDAV instead of depending on proprietary APIs like the S3 API.

I think Mozilla is doing really important works incl. Firefox, Thunderbird, Llamafile and so on. I use them heavily and I want to keep supporting their works. However, their management keep doing shitty things like this.

I don't believe that privacy and advertising can coexist. I use Firefox specifically because I don't want to see ads, yet Mozilla is trying to push ads, which is a glaring contradiction. I'm worried that this could lead to their eventual disappearance in the future.

GnuCash 5.9 2 years ago

I kind of surprised to see lots of hatered to GnuCash. What are your usecases? I run cafe business in Japan, but it does everything I need.

One possible issue with the increasing adoption of AI is the potential for humans to lose their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As we come to rely more heavily on AI systems for assistance, there is a risk that individuals may become less self-reliant and less skilled at addressing complex issues on their own. This could lead to a gradual erosion of human intellectual capabilities, as we offload more of our cognitive tasks to AI.

Another concern is the potential disappearance of entry-level positions for junior developers due to AI-driven automation. As AI systems become more sophisticated and capable of performing tasks once reserved for human programmers, the job market may undergo a significant shift. This could make it increasingly difficult for newcomers to the field to gain a foothold and establish their careers.

I attended several talks hosted by financial institutions, because I also in the industry. Unfortunately, I found that their presentations were somewhat high-level and abstract. It seemed as though the primary purpose of these talks was recruitment, rather than sharing their valuable expertise or experience, which I could easily expect given the industry's tendency to be secretive.

On the positive side, I also attended a presentation by Mathworks, which I found quite informative and easy to digest.

Xiaomi CyberDog 2 3 years ago

Agreed. I have a shiba dog, and he is super cute!

However, I have to take him out for walk more than an hour EverySingleDay. So, I have to spend more than 400 hours a year, i.e. 4000 hours for ten years. To be honest, spending 4000 hours is enough for making you a semi-professional in any fields. So, I don't recommend having a dog, unless you are literally CRAZY about dogs.

I started learning some Rust, just begging of this yeae, and I am starting to think learning C might be the shortest path to fully understand the motivation of ownership model.

But at the same time, I don't want to invest so much time into learning a language which I probably am not going to use.

I am probably being disrespectful. I understand a lot of people use C, including Linux kernel devs, but I cannot imagine developing new apps with an old language such as C.

It's kind of surprising to see that Rust is so rapidly accepted by wide range of developers.

Unfortunately I'm from DataScience field, so I cannot see much motivation to learn Rust, but I am considering learning it, because language itself seems exciting!

Is there anyone on HN who is from DataScience field like me and has learned Rust? It would be much appreciated if you could share the experience.
