Your answer describe well what I'm living. You understand so much my situation. Thank you for sharing this with me I did need it.

Yes indeed, I realized that one the most important skill in our profession is Problem solving.(if it is not the most important one). Being good at it, is the key, so in my case the lack of senior guide makes me take a lot of time to solve some problems and as in company with real customers this creates frustrations etc.
I also had that objective of staying in the company for 2 years. That 2 years last so long from time time depending on projects I have.
Being by my own, makes me realize also that I have to relearn many things seen, but the obstacle I face with that is that I don't aend anything I start, this may be a lack of discipline from me. But changing technologies from time to time is also a source of it.

PD: good to know my english can be understood, thank you.
That's what I was wondering, thanks for the info.
Much depends on where exactly you are and who you pay for electricity and when. For me, under PG&E pricing, the running cost for heat pump heating ends up higher than with gas. And the equipment cost is much higher.

I'll end up getting it anyway when I get an AC system someday, but it'll have to run off solar to be worthwhile.

My estimation is that my personal contribution to Europe should be between 500 € to 2000 € a year.

Sure, not all money is wasted, hopefully, but still if you accumulate all bullshit jobs and reports like this one over a year, this is still a shit load of money that you be put in better usage.

Note: I don't say that all europe jobs and reports are bullshits, are the opposite, a lot of them are quite good, and most of the time of better usage and quality than european national governments in my opinion.

I personally hate when that happens because usually I really want to do X for good reasons. In the end the people asking got help on troubleshooting their specific problem, but the question is still unanswered (or answered by “You don’t want to do that because you’re a beginner”).
No, the pizza analogy doesn't work. It's the specific use of man here being questioned ("why is it used in a test?"), not man usage in general.
Luckily I only use Safari's rendering engine (WebKit) on one iDevice, an iPad. My other devices use either Linux distros (for the last 15 years) or Android.

> but safari is not "another" piece of the iOS experience to interface with the internet. it is the primary & sole means to interface with the net on iOS & apple abuses their monopoly to insure it is the one and onlywans to interface with the web. no other browser engines may run, no one else is permitted to travel the reaches of the internet aside from safari.

As said below on the same message, WebKit usage is enforced by Apple's ToS. Also, Apple doesn't have any monopoly, they are the small slice of the duopoly (Google and Apple). And yes, a duopoly is also a bad thing. Maybe Epic's lawsuit will bring down the Apple Store strict policies and Blink and Gecko will be finally ported to iOS.

> If safari weren't such a viciously forcibly entrenched force for whatever market share apple has, it wouldn't be such an offensive barge of obsolescence.

Most of Safari's unimplemented features are drafts pushed by the huge Google Chrome development team at light-speed and only Firefox tries to keep up with that. Microsoft threw the towel and forked Edgium, Opera stopped Presto and also forked, etc.

> what undefended pathetic psuedo-apologia. how this is bliss & good for the user, being locked in to the app store & commercial offerings, is undefined & imo inexplicable. does it just feel good, having a non-threatening experience, knowing your web surfing is ridiculously obsolete, low on features, incompetent, buggy, and slow? it makes you happy to know you have no choice, that there's no way you could use better internet surfing tech even if you wanted to? how is this bliss?

Most users don't care about this, only the ones which care a bit about their own privacy, spend some time comparing products, etc. Maybe people should be educated about this kind of stuff at schools. And as a user, Safari is fast, the iPad doesn't get hot and the battery lasts quite a lot while browsing. Most websites redirect you to their app (Reddit's ugly approach).

> weird weird appeal: tech is only ever any good when it's proprietary & unavailable on the net (because of the crushing grip of the obsolete buggy browser your os enforces as a lower than low standard upon us all).

That's Apple appeal since they own the walled garden. Since most people couldn't care less about proprietary vs open source licensing they do whatever they please.

He debunks a lot of stuff, but debunking feminist-gone-crazy is very controversial so now he is considered sexist :/

As a guy living in conservative country where women actually are discriminated and have to fight for their rights I find it very sad that this pseudofeminist bullshit becomes the face of the movement.

It is very harmful to have a constant stream of "pacman is sexist" or "kill all men" from the west used by alt-right to point out "see this is where this whole feminism thing leads to - that's why you can't have legal abortion or civil partherships or anti-family-violence legislation".

I know there are always fringe groups in every movement, my problem is that you cannot criticize them without getting a label that instantly destroys your credibility for a lot of people. It's not sustainable, eventually this will discourage people from talking about women rights at all, even in the west.

>The problem is that you can't possibly become fluent in a language with an app like it and there isn't any single app that will.

I don't think anyone is seriously under the delusion that Duolingo alone will make you fluent in a language.

It is an amazingly powerful tool to bootstrap you from "I cannot understand a single word of this language" to "I can pick up a newspaper and get a vague idea of what they're talking about", though.

I cannot think of a single more effective method than Duolingo to get over this first hurdle.

heard mostly positive feedback on them, it's a shame though tastyworks don't disclose their execution quality and price improvement for the end-user like Fidelity and Charles Schwab do.. even robinhood does that.

The important question at hand here: When and how did you expose your nieces and nephews to Monkey Island and how did you introduce it to them? :D

Awesome project, too!
Obviously I knew my language well enough to perform a job which required some amount of proficiency in it. I'd imagine that some people might describe my level of proficiency as fluent. If you were to compare it against university, it'd be around the level of a four year degree, but undoubtedly worse than someone with a master's degree in the language.

I think this is more a case of your definition of being "fully fluent" is vastly different from mine.
Yeah this seems like nothing more than a publicity stunt.

Duolingo is a great example of gamification done well, I'd argue that's the whole selling point of it!

They do now. There was a time when you could go to the DMV and switch places with your friend right before the photo for the ID was taken. If you were under 21 and your friend was older, you had a real fake ID made for you by the state. At least in Illinois that was the case when I was still underage.
Now they do see the older photo come up when renewing a license, presumably to prevent swapping.

During my CS degree in 1988 I wrote a simple programming language that macro expanded (using m4) into lambda calculus that was then converted to SK combinators for evaluation.

edit: It was quite impressive just how amazingly inefficient (in time and space) this approach can be (the combinator part, not the m4 part which worked pretty well).

it looks like entr does a bunch of weird, potentially incompatible things, like redirecting stdin from /dev/tty and leaving FDs open in the child. however, my guess is that your build process is non-atomic, and your program is crashing due to necessary files being partially updated. this could probably be hacked around by doing something like `entr /bin/sh -c "sleep 1; exec realcommand"`.

As for the search in question: instead of "best commuter bikes for under $500", do yourself a favor and buy a beater bike for $100-200. The comfort is the same if not higher, but you stop thinking about your bike at all, and if someone steals it you buy another one next day without shedding a tear. My favorite ones are by fahrradmanufaktur, very solid, a new one will cost you a few thousand bucks, but after 5-7 years it still feels fantastic and you can buy it for a fraction of the price.
I love gum, I consider it my super weapon during talks or interviews: it really reduces my anxiety for some reason (and it prevents dry mouth). Some may consider it a bit rude, but I find it an okay price to pay for how much more composed I tend to be in uncomfortable situations.

With that, I started chewing mastic gum recently, and I really love it: I can chew it for seemingly forever without it wearing out, and it really gives my jaw a workout.

It's hard to assume that post is not irony but apparently it's not. Half of the points are so obviously wrong that I won't even attempt to invalidate them. (The other half seem to go ad hominem) Life is surely easier than in the past but that's a good thing. Society profits when core problems are solved - I wish that was the case anyway.

I don't know about you, but for me this feels like the gates of hell opening for patent trolls. AI can produce thousands of patents in a single day. As always patent trolls make no money from patents, but from the bureaucratic process. So a schema like this that allows virtually unlimited patents to be created will increase even more trolls misbehavior
There is a criminal to catch. There is no free lunch. This isn’t a “grow the pie” idea when it comes to money printing.

Imagine you had:

1/10 of all dollars.

Next year they printed 20% of money supply, so now you own:

1/12 of all dollars.

Your own wealth got siphoned off indirectly without you being cognizant of it. That’s exactly whats happening here. Every year they’ve been siphoning off 2-5% (maybe more) and now they have to ramp up further just to stay ahead of the game.

This isn’t by accident, it’s by design. So yes, there is a criminal here.

Most of the printed $100 USD bills are abroad in someone’s cabinet or mattress being used as a store of value vs their own trash currency. Most of these people still hold faith that the USD is a sound currency, and the FED takes that faith and abuses it by quietly eroding their savings.

A bit of it is probably that.

A little history of why Rust's error messages look and read they way they do:

- [1] back in 2015 Elm puts out a blog post titled Compiler Errors for Humans

- [2] then another, Compilers as assistants

- [3] then in 2016 Rust announces they'll borrow from Elm for error messages

Really great that the students were able to see how much the Rust community cares about error message quality.

I think you've missed the point I was making.

Essentially if you work back from the desired state of having IaC, CI/CD, test environments per MR, you likely see something like k8s as a framework that helps you achieve that.

Of course, if you start from "I just need a LAMP stack" you might have a very different conclusion. But when you reach the same endgame ( actually I need an environment for every MR ), you've probably incrementially built something more complex and bespoke.

This will explain why there are dozens of us who are quite happy with the product. The only real question is, do you already know it and do you find it much harder to ship a deployment to a managed k8s cluster vs systemd unit files?

If not, it might be an abstraction worth having. If you don't already know how though, then you might have better things to be doing with your time.
I'm the opposite. I often catch myself asking about Y and then needing to back up and ask about X. I even know the problem by name and can't help (occasionally) asking the wrong question.
OK. Someone had to to make the obvious point. At least it's concise.

Patents, as they exist, typically list an inventor, but the owner can be different. Mostly, the inventor is an employee and the owner is the employer. Where this can get hairy is FOSS. If FOSS invents something...

I think there might be other philosophical objections. If a NN "invents" something, perhaps its unpatentable because it is (by some definition) trivial or discovery of a natural law... IE, not a creative work for patent purposes.

Ultimately, patent law and the arguments underpinning it have many avenues for philosophical "attack." But, it's a legal framework, not a philosophical one.
I feel like this is a bit of a double standard.

If we're questioning "focus on range of 400km or more" then we're already looking at the high-end EVs. Sure there are ligther engines around, but so are lighter batteries, no? Heavy powerful ICEs sell because they're desirable, not because they're the most practical. Long-range EVs sell because they're desirable, not because they're the best match for the average person. I have no doubt that as soon as reasonable city infrastructure exists for EV charging, there'll be a lot of BEVs with small batteries for driving around the city.
