The shear size of some of these provinces make the logistical challenge of food delivery almost impossibile.

This is horrifying and to think people are starving in these conditions with no option but to run away with dire consequences.

>It can be easier and cheaper to hire locally, compared to sponsoring a work visa to a foreigner.

Depends how you define cheaper. The visa sponsorship is a one time sunk cost, but if the candidate you sponsor aggress to work for several thousands or even tens of thousands less per year than the local candidates, then the saving for the company are obvious.

It's an opens secret that companie in Germany/EU usually sponsor the candidates who accept less than the market rate, otherwise they would just pay market rate or a bit higher and hire a local without the visa hassle. D'uh! Even my former German boss was open about this with me that the recruiting department is constantly trying to bring candidates from places with low wages and low QoL like Brasil (their example, not mine) in order to not have to pay higher than market wages to poach local talent.

>the minimum wage for a German work Visa is 56,800 EUR (EU Blue Card) and 44,304 EUR for shortage jobs.

44K/year seems pretty low for a so called "shortage job", and even more so if you consider the rampant inflation in the past couple of years. AFAIK 44K is pretty much around or sometimes even far less than a new grad makes in a skilled field at a good company. So, IMHO such low wages for supposedly "shortage jobs" are there for wage suppression and nothing else. If we had something like 70-80k/year as the bar for a shortage wage then we'd be talking sense.

The secondary effect of immigration is increasing the burden on inelastic services and assets that everyone needs such as doctors and rentals for everyone, as the real estate supply is highly restricted due to NIMBYism and several political and financial reasons around the rigged real-estate market I don't want to get in right now as that always makes my blood boil.
When my daughter is old enough to ask I'm just going to tell her it's a story just like Frozen that we like to play pretend around. I don't see why she has to be misled into thinking Santa is real in order to celebrate Christmas like any other kids.

Kids are incredible at pretending!
If you believe anything China says I have you a bridge to sell you.
I think that people that dislike monads mostly fall in one of two categories: those that know about a fancier alternative such as algebraic effects and those that are scared off by an alien-looking unfamiliar concept.

Those two groups are minorities in the set of all people that are even aware of monads.
Given the looming aging crisis in west and east i would expect vigorous interest in bringing this science closer. Not least because it is presumed that it would also solve many aging related diseases like Alzheimer's
Do an exercise for me since you have freed yourself from the burden of natural identity. Go to a foreign nation and destroy your password.

It will teach you a practical lesson in natural identity. Do make sure to go to a nation that you think is the greatest nation in human lifetime.
They are right. Shows are adjusting to capture the little attention spans we have left from the excess use of technology. My 4 y/o loves old episodes of Sesame Street, but the new ones are just visually busy and boring on topics.

I’ve noticed this with many more shows recently and personally don’t subscribe to it. I very much dislike how more shows include distracting visuals, sophomoric humor, and sexual innuendo as if it’s normal for younger kids. It’s not. Rewatching what I watched as a kid at these ages(Barney, Sesame Street, Gullah Gullah island) with my kids definitely shines a light on that.
I think the main problem here is that you would end up with multiple copies of the same API, e.g. node.js has three "stamped out" versions of the filesystem API: (1) synchronous, (2) asynchronous with callbacks, and (3) asynchronous with promises. This duplication sucks both for the library maintainer as well as the user (IMHO).
i am surprised the only drawing of woman it generates is when the bio explicitly contains the word "female".

It's because our own political apparatus is not that different from the Chinese one.
We just like to pretend we still have a choice with our "democratic vote".

You won't be able to dismantle it or even to reduce the huge amount of money it consumes.

You won't be able to escape its rules. We should be thankful we're still able to leave for the least worse country.

The real disease is called statalism and we're seeing the symptoms of that.
sure will do :)
They also paid millions for military hardware and humanitarian aid. It’s how a (huge) country runs its geopolitics.
Wealth did have a very strong effect, just not the one we usually see.

Poorer countries faired better against the disease itself: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-confirmed-deaths-of...

And it's not population density either, otherwise Bangladesh and India would be leading the packs in deaths, but they're comfortably in the middle while much of Europe pushes the top.

Where this falls apart is in government reaction to the disease, that has absolutely eviscerated the middle and poor classes.
Haha yeah it’s not a sexy problem that’s why the product has to be :)

Did you understand what problem is solves when checking the site?
I have fond memories of Bernoulli drives; there was a time where they were the primary method of exchanging data.

They were named after Bernoulli's principle, IIRC: because it made the air run faster and the soft magnetic material levitated inside the case.

Later Zip drives (also by Iomega) replaced them, which meant there was no need to have SCSI controllers in every machine...
It's a matrix client that you use to connect to a matrix home server
This reminds me of the early 90's. When LambdaMOO was just becoming a thing, some people started up a server (ChaosMOO) where everybody was created as a wizard (basically somebody with full permissions / control of the database). So everybody had the potential to do anything.

I don't remember the result, but I think it actually ended up being pretty polite without anybody deleting everything. It looks like the database even survived online if anybody wants to see what was accomplished.

Anyway, this seems like a fun idea! Hopefully it produces something that some random person will idly comment about in a semi-related thread 30 years later.
I've been there too, and it was pretty spectacular.

The thing is, it takes a certain reference point to appreciate. A more mature one.

For kids, and the younger they are, much of their daily lives of filled with continual new and overwhelming experiences. Every experience is new or very fresh. Experiences like "I've never been this cold before", or "The sun is too hot" are just as overwhelming as "That is a very deep crack in the ground", but discomfort is also more immediate, and they haven't learned to attenuate and ignore discomfort signals like adults have.

Likewise, they have less grasp of time. When you are six, or ten, a decade is your whole life or more, and waiting an hour seems like forever, while for you and me, it is a blink in the day. 100 years for kids is nigh unimaginable, and an appreciation for the untold years it took to erode the grand canyon is unavailable, mentally.

So a visit to something like the grand canyon can be less than impressive.

It does make me wonder what a thousand year old being would appreciate, that I would find uninteresting or unimaginable.
Bluey is great. Do kids learn from it? No idea. They sure are entertained by it as are their accompanying adults.

To the gp list I'd add "Alphablocks" and then go with more garage created stuff which can be pretty good. "Kids Learning Tube" "Have Fun Teaching." Be selective, they have quantity, the quality is in there in the obvious places.

edit: Forgot to mention that my son was being very mildly neglected and left to his own devices on youtube with an ipad and used those to teach himself to read between the ages of 2 & 3. He had a particular fascination with symbols and I don't know where that came from so it may not replicate but it is how he did it. I try to be a better parent than that now. :p
> It also tends to then extend to things like pretending there are no sex differences and that everything is socially constructed (which I think is nonsense)

Only a small minority of people believe that.

> I won’t put pronouns in my bio and I won’t submit to pressure to do so in order to pass some sort of political morality test.

Literally no one is trying to force you to do that.
Presumed wrong. I don’t comment on the state of affairs without having been back. Again I want to contribute to humanity and this planet, I don’t pledge allegiance to a line drawn by dipshits 70 years back.
Why would John attempt to load a website in a Gopher client? I'm not certain you understand what Gopher is.
I just don't think many or most tech companies have anything positive to offer the world. All these companies simply exist to make money. Generally speaking, most companies just exist to make money. To the extent that they improve anyone's lives, is that they support the economy and allow citizens to pay taxes.

There are certainly some minority of tech companies which do good in the world, but actually getting hired at them is not necessarily likely. They have limited roles available, and need specific skillsets. A large generic tech company needs just about any skillset, and so practically speaking you're likely to find a job there.
There are rumours that the mstcpip stack had large parts of the bsd stack in it. I cut my teeth in windows networking using Windows for workgroups, with a novell tcpip stack and a 64kb daemon Internet Internet connection over isdn. Having that network connection meant I could (1993) get some linux/freebsd setups, but I would have to leave the ftp connection running all night. I then diverted off full time into freebsd when I joined Yahoo.
I was going off the original reply where it was, I understand you don't see it that way. All zoning is local is a term used, and back to my case this sounds like a tax on land, not the building. In that case, all land is the same, perhaps high regardless of the building. So for this town, we have some lots at 1/2 acre, most at 1 acre. Well + septic. If one want to build denser housing it needs to break zoning that is local which says lots must be 1 acre (some are grandfathered in) with a 36 ft set back from the property line and no more than 30% build up of the land. A federal or state rule could do that, but what that doesn't account for is the water aquifer which perhaps can't handle spitting into 1/4 acre lots and quadrupling the town population. Plus 4x septic systems could but an undue strain on the area. A law could be passed to force a sewer system and a municipal water system which would not be cheap. This is one small town and to get a dense population we are talking millions in infrastructure spending to get to a point that can handle a dense population to better use the land. There are just so many factors in each area, each being unique to the area, that makes efficient land use more complicated. I also haven't even got into environmental protection, water run off and other pollution issues that are also addressed in zoning.
On the other hand, temporary carbon sequestering is still way better than immediate release.
The eu ejecting a country, or at least formally starting to.

Complete political gridlock in the us, followed by blue states looking to avoiding sending tax receipts to use the funds locally.

Not directly related, but I can still recommend "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" as a very enjoyable recreation of key places and buildings around ancient Greece. Ubisoft spent a considerable effort to research and recreate some highlights, and being able to freely walk around help a lot with immersion.
MacOS just doesn't work at all with touchscreens, on Thinkpads, or on Raspberry Pi's.

Homebrew exists because MacOS doesn't just work very well with a vast array of free and open source software.

Most distros just work on ThinkPads.
> The shear size of some of these provinces make the logistical challenge of food delivery almost impossibile.

This kind of argument sounds like a logical fallacy to me. Sure, if a single person or organization suddenly needs to supply a large area it's a logistical nightmare. For example if the USA would suddenly need to supply hundreds of millions of people in China. But that is not the case. In those areas the logistical systems have grown together with the area.

If you really think about it there is nowhere in this world where many people could run away to. Sure, there are a few nice places where a few people could run away to. But in total most people will have to stay where they are. If the logistical systems of the world fail or a massive natural disaster occurs many areas will have a lot of starving people.
> This phrase does not seem odd at all to me (and is a very good way of separating people that have a kid from people that don't have a kid)

See my reply to myself - it's not a good way at all, nevermind a very good way. After all, it didn't peg me as a parent of a 1yo, did it?
If you play Elden Ring and get to the Southeastern Palace scene... :)
My parents also mention the 18% loan time when they bought their home - that was the advertised rate - but in the state there were incentives that brought the rate down to something like 8%. I can't imagine their state would be the only one offering first time home buyer incentives to keep the local market going.
I don’t disagree with your summary of the facts; part of the premise of my comment is that I disagree with that stated rationale for starting OpenAI. I rather think that always publicizing the bleeding-edge research would increase the risks.

Not sure if this is the main reason OpenAI went less open though, as I’m not an insider.
Wow, you're edgy.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Having used Mutt for a while around the turn of the millennium, I returned to it about 5 years ago and I could have written this comment myself.

In my time using graphical mail clients, I’ve used Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Sylpheed and Thunderbird. Thunderbird was my favourite of them all and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.
because distros are trying to build things that work over and over again, instead of improving what exists.
Not all 0x things are crypto, but it's safe to assume that nearly 100% of 0x things from people who used to have .eth in their name are references to crypto and not to any other context for hexadecimal numbers.

This was originally brought up in the context of saying that certain people removed eth and added 0x which is in context still clearly a reference to crypto, so the username fad just changed, and these probably (sadly) shouldn't be seen as Ethereum/crypto dying or losing popularity. Your implication is that Ethereum and crypto are dying and their users are en masse getting very interested in computer science and the hexadecimal numbering system and all happened to decide to change their names to include 0x for that reason, but it seems a lot more likely that the crypto cult is just playing follow the leader.
Be the change you want to see...or just use a strictly typed FP language like Haskell and you'll get all your colors.
Apparently they naturally settled in French, I assume crews are bilingual and in any need for clarification where English would help they'd do so.
This appears to redefine the concept of function colors to something different and not particularly problematic.

The issue that the function color concept illustrates is how subtle function incomposibility can seem perfectly workable for a while, but sometimes leads you to a deep dead end that takes a lot of reworking of otherwise good code to resolve.

The key limitation is that “red” functions can only be called from other “red” functions. So that if you’ve developed a bunch of code composed of “blue” functions, possibly with deep, complex call chains, and then find you need to call a “red” function at a low level, you suddenly find yourself in a dead end with no good way forward.

This article seems to drop that key point from function colors. (I say seems because it only speaks of its own definition indirectly. Maybe it’s in the deleted post mentioned at the start?)

I think that makes this whole article pretty much pointless.
Nice stuff, but that scrolling navigation? Well I am gonna send you bills of my doctor.
If js had async/await from the beginning there would have been no need for the callback version. Also the sync apis would exist in any case because of the event based architecture of node and the fact that at times you don't want to release control back to the event loop.

Probable bug:

The first time I landed the page it did not show any circles.
I'm on Firefox mobile (nightly, release seems OK). I had to disable Firefox defenses. After the circles appear I was able to re-enable it.

I ceased to be able to reproduce it after it loaded OK once.

Oh... And it's a great game, by the way!!! Specially because it's HTML5
>Gated communities whose guards become jailers.

Left Singapore after 10 years because of this. If you go into a shopping mall you need to "check in" fully authenticated with picture ID, "ambassadors" photograph any perceived violations, work from home is the standard. With the never-changing weather that was hard on the mental health. Surely, the rules have relaxed now, but that wasn't a fun experience.
I was lucky to see Grand Canyon for the first time at night, with full moon and no people around. It was magical. Only us (four people) and the tiny lights of trekkers in the bottom. And the beautiful soft light that the Moon provided the canyon with.

The next morning it looked great, but I knew we had experienced it in a much better way.
In my experience, domain specific skills together with technical knowledge will get you further than technical skills alone.

My suggestion is to complete your economics course. Along the way take any electives that allow you to gain some technical proficiency. If your institution doesn't make it possible then you might have to acquire some tech skills through self-study or other means.

Once you graduate look for jobs in banking, finance or insurance that are loosely aligned with your interests and values. I would suggest avoiding consulting firms. Once you have a job on the strength of your recent economics qualifications actively watch for and seek out opportunities where your technical skills add value. That way you differentiate yourself from both your peers and any technical only staff. Currently data science combined with expertise in some niche, e.g. environmental economics, should give you a huge advantage.
the golden age of startups in india has already started to shutter. It’s still a hot market but all the Low hanging fruits are already done for. Anyone thinking the market here is somehow easier than in the US is absolutely naive.
`yield` is just syntactic sugar for the two-way generator communication protocol where the consumer calls `.next(value)` which returns a value in turn. This is as expressive and you can build `do` semantics on top of stuff like lists/either/state/io on top of it. No AST parsing needed.
There was no magic money tree. It took a while for the effects to spread to the whole of the economy - perhaps because people were in lockdown and limited in their ability to spend money - but throughout the western world people's incomes have been dropping in real inflation-adjusted terms. There's no way that they couldn't; a large chunk of the economy was shut down and producing nothing, so there's just plain less stuff to buy which means people can't possibly be able to continue consuming the same amount. Printing and handing out checks just redistributed where in society the economic pain was felt for a while.
That surely played a part. But by now there would have been enough time to admit defeat and just order some from Europe.
>"cut a half hour"

Which is hardly shocking as part of a general trend. Forget kids. For adults, conference presentations and a lot of other things have generally cut back and length. And, for me personally, it's mostly a good thing.
They put an add-noise filter on top. It's often used to give it a more 'filmic' look and also hides away some uniformity in simple textures. Plain, plan surfaces look very fake, add some noise and suddenly it feels more 'real'.

Plus someone probably decided it would look cool...
Im currently a mac user and I can't say I've heard many saying macOS "just works", but it's less hassle to set-up and use day-to-day than Windows, and I don't really find comparing it to Linux is entirely fair. It's like comparing a high end drone with a custom made drone. Both are incredible powerful, but the latter requires more work and you have to mostly maintain it yourself. Linux is fantastic when you've found a configuration which works for you.
I think of myself as the equivalent of an atheist when it comes to all kinds of identities: national, linguistic, religious, caste, etc.

That's a typo, please see my comment below. Thanks. Make sure to read the full context before making assumptions, it will save you some time.
No disrespect to your question - it is fair and reasonable - but why is the top comment on a post about Thunderbird's Matrix integration essentially a tech support question about a completely unrelated thing in Thunderbird?
Basically by limiting the scope significantly and limiting it to language-level Promises you can create things like zero-cost async stack traces, async-call aware flame graphs and more for analysis and better lint rules and more specific types for development.
Seconded. I’d go as far as to say that it’s the best thing my son has watched.

It’s not as didactic as Sesame Street or other educational shows, but I think he learns a lot from it. Bluey and her family are a good role model.
The effect system is still in Nim and supported. Though I've never used it, except to ensure top level procedures catch all exceptions properly.

Yup. I think this idea has done a tremendous amount of harm. It is possible to be actually virtuous but this is apparently now lost as doing any kind thing for anybody is criticized as virtue signaling.
Hello! We are using pnpm (which as I understand it has some overlap with what turborepo can do when it comes to monorepo management).

Some teams are considering turborepo for the remote caching feature. I'm a security guy, and I'm a little worried that remote caching basically means that all dev are able to run arbitrary code on other devs computer (by poising the cache). Am I missing something? Or are there security workarounds? Would, for example, only allow master build from the CI to push to the remote cache and only read only access for the devs work and still provide enough benefits? (I expect most dev to branch from master, so I'd assume the cache would be good enough?)

Thanks and congrats on the release!
Bird Bird, yes. Elmo, No. This heuristic will serve you well.
