Sounds interesting, tell me more about me.

I'm interested in the ethics of AI generated "design" and the decision to demonstrate the features with sad looking images of koalas holding goblets. No design to be found there, only gimmicks failing at substituting design. "But it's all just a bit of fun" says weird-eye. Thanks for nothing.
> Looking at that benchmark, it seems to be comparing Deno's WASM sqlite to Bun's native bun:sqlite, which I'd consider to be an unfair comparison.

Ah, then I have misunderstood what it's doing - that's hilariously terrible benchmarking, and if so the bun folk should feel bad.
debian appears to be just removing the warnings:

grep (3.8-2) unstable; urgency=low
This Debian grep release removes the deprecation warning about egrep and
fgrep. These alternative programs will be still shipped by Debian. Although,
for portability reasons, users are encouraged to use grep with the concerned
options instead of those alternative programs.
Companies don’t pay recruiters to send spam. Recruiters get paid for successfully finding a candidate and getting them hired for a job.

Recruiters play a numbers game. The more potential candidates they have in their database the better their chances of filing a job. People looking for jobs themselves often play a similar numbers game, applying to hundreds of jobs, and many online job boards play the same game, listing as many jobs as they can find (or scrape) and building an audience of job seekers.

We don’t all know that “recruitment is broken.” If you only see recruiters as a source of unwanted emails you might get that impression. But recruiters only need to place one person in the jobs they have to fill to succeed. Emails cost next to nothing. In fact recruiters can do very well if they provide value to companies who use them to recruit.
In Clojure programs you'll see a lot more unidentified data (-> maps) than in object-oriented Lisp.

What do you think of the theory that space itself is emergent from QM? Something like loop quantum gravity?

In that case perhaps attempts to fit QM into continuous physical space is misguided, similar to attempts to explain planetary motion using epicycles.
JIRAs growth strategy was based on developers adopting it without having to talk to their bosses first because it was cheap enough to do so. Nowadays, this probably works differently, but that’s how they initially gained traction.
I remember a Rust AWS library worked like you describe (An old version of rusoto, I think, deprecated now).

I wasn't familiar with how AWS credentials are usually managed so I was very confused why I had to make my own struct and implement the `CredentialSource` trait on it. It felt like I was missing something... because I was. You're not supposed to enter the credentials directly, you're supposed to use the built-in EnvCredentialSource or whatever.

They were supposed to build out in my city and were stopped by legal hurdles from an incumbent. That's probably happened in a few places by now.
Yeah, there's a big disparity between UK and US terminology here.

I'm the UK, a "contractor" is typically in business on their own account, applying for jobs directly to the end client.

In the US, it seems like a "contractor" frequently works for an outsourcing company. In the UK we'd typically call these people "temps" or "consultancy staff" depending on the source.
Anyone who signs up gets a report showing how their companies compare to others as far as comp goes. So they get to know if they are underpaying or overpaying. They also can pull salary history for an individual who is applying for a job in places where that is legal.

But you have to submit your data to get access to everyone else's.
You're depressed. So you should do things to help you be less depressed in the short term, because then you can move on to longer ways to be less depressed (progress in career, relationship, etc). Those are: exercise, sleep (try cutting down caffeine and alcohol), and most iimportantly, helping other people, and social pressure.

Went to public until 5th then private school through HS, all were dumpster fires in their own way. Just my .02, and while this was over a decade ago, I'm inclined to believe shitty and free is better than shitty and expensive. If your kids are even remotely motivated and smart, what they do outside school is 10,000x more important so might as well put the money towards that.
I think that's defeats the purpose of public school. As a society, we decided we need to collectively contribute to every child's education, regardless if they are own. I have no kids, but I pay my school taxes so that other people's children can have an education.

> A good, professional programmer probably should: 1. Start with the Lisp-lists as a prototype

Don't. Lisp since decades has a lot of different data types which are easy to use: vector/arrays, structures (-> records), classes, etc.
We unfortunately don't currently have plans to provide self-hosting.
Letting them get ahead is usually the best way to respect an intelligent student. I wouldn't put a lot of stock in one classmate's opinion about someone's emotional state, and a driving license is hardly the be all and end all (I didn't have one when I went to university, and never missed it). "Don't put students of any age through interrogation-style experiments that are designed to stress them" is probably a better lesson to take from Kaczynski's case.
> With developed countries ranging from 25% to over 60% in government spending as percentage of GDP, your argument doesn't carry the same weight. Every industry is running with subsidies.

I'm happy for subsidies, let's subsidise the things that are efficient uses of resources though.

> If the US isn't invading Iraq for oil, it could spend the money on invading some other country instead for the resources that building renewables needs.

Yeah, 200mg of recyclable silver and 5g of recyclable copper is definitely equivalent to 2 barrels of oil.
I don't think that's a fair performance bar to set for web apps, or even native apps. The 16ms window for games is used to process input, shuffle data in very fast memory, do calculations, and render a frame on a very fast GPU specifically built for that purpose.

Web apps can also render frames in 16ms, but input often involves fetching data from much slower and unreliable disk or network, processing data on a much slower general purpose CPU, and rendering it via runtimes and frameworks that add considerable overhead. Given all of that, 50ms (20 FPS) does sound very responsive, if maybe not breathtakingly so.
My read was that they are relic of the past in that they are written in Fortran 77 or earlier.

Fortran 90 and later are different enough to modern programming languages but Fortran 77 is an even bigger step back.
I do know that. But I think the graphics in Wikipedia visualizing the profile are wrong. I've been into exhibitions about it, which showed much more than that. Also it may have been different at different times because the river is dynamic, has been and is been dredged out, from time to time, as necessary.

The roof of the tunnel is too high in the water, to let contemporary large ships
pass. Where large ships means the giant container freighters with 19.000+ TEU capacity. Mission impossible. Covered or not. This is not true for roll on/roll off ferries, or some cruise ships which seem similarily large, but aren't, at least not below the waterline. They just manage, but barely.

It is a barrier inhibiting ships with large draft/draught from passing. Which is why all the terminals servicing them are downstream.
