Absolutely.

The political reason for the Dutch social safety: stop an impending socialist/communist revolution. This was a real threat in Europe at the time.
A second reason was scientific: poor people were spreading diseases which are a threat for everyone.
A third reason was economic: healthy and happy people work harder.

I am learning it now, it’s pretty neat. I think the simplicity is a big appeal for me. I’ve tried Nim but it just seemed inconsistent, the case insensitivity is insane, and I think there’s a lot of minor but still odd syntax decisions that have been made. I’d rather just use python, which is nice, than have to finagle my Nim code just for a little speed boost.

Sum types and TCO with -prod is a really nice feature as well. Not supporting TCO was a huge bummer when I tried Nim, and many other languages tbh.

I already use Go sometimes, so picking up vlang was basically free, and I haven’t had time to do any big substantial projects with it, but I wrote a little irc bot with it and had a good afternoon hacking on it.
I learned that off-by one errors, mixing up arguments and caches are hard to debug.

I have easily spent days debugging many such problems which were almost always solved by a one line change. And rarely did I find ways to prevent similar bugs in the future bugs by improving testing or code factoring.
The thing is, what applies to you doesn't necessary apply to everybody. Somebody has to understand low level coding. Somebody has to be introduced to it without necessarily knowing going in that it will be a career path. Somebody will need to write compilers and reverse engineer and design CPUs. Just because a skill isn't valuable to you or those you know doesn't mean it isn't valuable to others, especially those who don't know enough yet to know that it might interest them.

The point is to have to wait so long to stamp an approved visa in your passport that your visa approval will expire before you can get it stamped and will need to get it reapproved before?

So basically for years you cannot LEAVE the US because even though you have all the approvals, you cannot get an appointment?

So much on their site whining about H1Bs simply have no clue what they’re talking about. Which is especially ironic because commenters here simultaneously complain about how there are so many H1Bs that it should be easy enough to ask one of their colleagues.
My Apple ][+ had a tape interface. It mostly worked - if the tape stretched or if the tape speed changed for some reason (dirty capstan, power supply fluctuations, low volume, high volume, evil pixies) then you wouldn't be able to read it back.

This site describes the format, which was basically a header tone, a sync tone, data bits, and then a checksum (not described there but other sites say it was just an XOR). When we got a Disk ][ (5-1/4" floppy drive) all those issues went away.

I've driven (by motorbike) around a lot of the areas mentioned. Little has changed in many of the remote villages in a very long time. People still live in the dark ages there, no running water or even bathrooms and very little electricity. It is amazing though... really beautiful, especially in the north. The people always smile at you as you pass by.

As someone who's pretty much tone deaf, I have zero hope of ever learning the language. Hard is an understatement. Makes me sad because it would be interesting to try to connect a bit more with the people there.

No, another thing money does besides fueling consumption is fueling investment, which generates yet more money.

There is some strange axiomatic derivation happening in this thread. The term "regressive tax" has a specific meaning; we can just start with that as an axiom, rather than re-deriving all of economics. A regressive tax is simply one that takes a higher percentage of income from low-income taxpayers than high-income taxpayers.
Doesn't the post office still use the handwriting detectors to automatically route mail? Aren't those from the 80's? That's pretty much all before my time.

It seems like, AI research produced some fantastic results, but those systems were quickly relabeled to not be AI. Like, win at chess.

Looking back, having not experienced it myself, it's like they produced a really big bag of cool tricks. But you're not going to be doing much searching in 640k of ram. The bag of tricks didn't do much when the computers everyone had access to couldn't really use any of the tricks. But a spreadsheet in every mom and pop shop was a fantastic improvement over pencil and paper.

>(I should probably add that Germany and Belgium have similar issues from what I’ve heard, though that doesn’t excuse the Netherlands.)

For Belgium at least, these issues are not similar. Our housing prices are high in some cities but definitely not on the level of the Netherlands. And the waiting list for medical help is much less of an issue here.

Belgium definitely has their own issues (often issues that the Netherlands don't have), but the issues you listed are not as relevant in Belgium.
It still is though, isn't it? At least in my social circles. Where did your friends go, and why my friends haven't?
I suspect the mechanism of that will be that Disney lawyers and/or lobbyists will start throwing their weight around once AI trained on Disney media is making money for someone other than Disney.
For technical stuff it works okay, because people can make decisions just by doing whatever it is, or by talking to the team and agreeing on something. It's a lot harder to get people to do that for bonuses and pay.
I just saw this tweet mentioned in the latest stream by Ryan Carniato. https://www.youtube.com/live/A2TiLvCDKSg?feature=share

His streams are really good. I think it's nice that he makes these really long streams where he explains everything in depth. I have learned a lot.

Signals are interesting and it's cool that Preact were able to integrate them into their VDOM. I ported their signals library to Ruby and it wasn't easy to get all the details right. Interesting how they came up with that solution, I would never have been able to figure that out.

Rust imposes a lot more constraints than just what is needed to make it safe. It imposes constraints to make it provably safe according to Rust's internal theorem prover.

I'm not convinced Rust & C++ have as much in common as you think. Rust is really familar to OCaml or Haskell users.

You would be astonished(and perhaps appalled!) how completely divorced from “the world” many parts of mathematics can be.
I've seen many--and even performed in!--versions of Shakespearian works that did, in fact, change the language. (Hell: we had an R2 unit playing Polonius in our production of Hamlet on the Moon, so he was just out there beeping and blooping all of his ridiculously verbose advice.)

I remember ages ago, Canadians were getting ads for airfare that was like $67 return to Las Vegas/Cuba/London, and then you get the total and it's "+ $550 in taxes, service fees, fuel surcharges, airport improvement fees" etc.

All my friends found it pretty hilarious; there's such a thing as marking up a sale once the consumer is invested, but when the actual cost is several times more than the advertised price it's a lot easier to say nope, no thanks.
According to the Github VSCode support isn't available as yet. Major bummer tbh.
To give feedback and advice on your app, it would be helpful to have some more information about it.

Who is your target group? What is the specific value of your app compared to other tools/services? What are the app's main functions? What would a typical user journey for a member of the target group look like?
All of that is meaningless, if you move, and click, when typing.
All they'd have to do is limit the amount of private videos you're allowed to store. If your only option for storing unlimited security footage is to make it public, then people probably wouldn't do that.

Alternatively, if they're allowed to use the footage to train some AI that will help them take over the world, then maybe they want all your random footage for free.

Aside from the basic profile tips (such as https://www.cleverly.co/blog/how-to-optimize-your-linkedin-p...)

in my view it's worthwhile to speak with a professional career coach or mentor (I'm a career mentor and coach myself), because there are too many variables to cover in a list or even in a whole book.

This is because, even if you follow all the best checklists and guides:

1. You might not be making the right "impression" which matches for the role you wish you obtain

2. There may be something in your profile which triggers a red flag during the hiring process.

A good coach/mentor will help you fix such problems so you don't waste time, energy, and frustration.
I've been going to a few and I even have one of my own that I run twice a month at a local co-working space.

I don't know why anyone comes to either my meetup or the ones I go to, but they are 100% not people I want to hang out and drink with. Mostly middle-aged Asian and Indian men who are polite, quiet, socially distant, usually with no particular enthusiasm for the topic of the meetup. I don't know why they're there or why they're so numerous, but they're definitely not there to socialize and have fun.
The US spends more of its budget on healthcare for its citizens than it does on its defense budget.

As a person who works for a defense adjacent company, I can tell you confidently that government adjacent healthcare is the closest thing this country has to socialized medicine.

I do agree that it doesn't seem to be a priority. I have to assume there's a bunch of slack and waste in the system given the amount of money that goes into it.
> because that only appears if that's what was studied.

Why would that be the case? If there's a statistically significant portion of the population suffering from parasites and this treatment improves outcomes for those people in a statistically significant way, then why isn't that going to show up in a study looking for improvement of outcomes?

Wow.. I didn't expect this many comments.. the amazing extended discussion about software collectives and communities.

Some things that looks in the neighborhood is #openforwork, Quorom1, Loomio, and the discord posted here https://discord.gg/TyQfcSZk

But I was looking for a simple meetup organized in San Francisco, and perhaps an online forum/discussion area. No business model, no guild.. just community. Would others join?

I've already committed the ultimate sin: registered a domain: openforwork.community. Nothing there yet.

To keep the good discussion juice going - what do you recommend for a forum? Last one I installed was Discourse. I think these days a slack/discord channel is what new communities do.. but..I'm old.. and a place on the internet with its own domain could work for this.
Except on re-run channels where they speed up the credits 100x to get them over with. Kind of like the drug interactions or terms and conditions at the end of ads.
Sometimes the blame is regulations: too many hoops for banks to update their software easily and without adding stupid regulatory liabilities. Regulations added to protect the user, but perversely hinder the user.
No, but the US happens to be where I live, so I have a vested interest in caring about it.
At 2 that means a window or aisle seat, at 3 both. For the cheapest kind of ticket I’d expect they’d want to fill middles.
To make matters worse, corp dev people are absolutely aware of the dynamics --- they're more aware of them than you are, because this is their entire job, where you might engage with it once or twice in a whole career --- and are selected for their expertise at manipulating the dynamic. They will, if they're seriously targeting you, deliberately bait a hook and keep you on the line long enough for walking away from a deal to be especially painful.

I think Paul Graham pretty much has this topic locked up and can't see how you'd express it better.
Sure, but I generally think when you get into the semantic discussion, it’s useful to put my operating definition on the table, so that we can quickly get to either the semantic disagreement or the ethical disagreement (that I think knowing saying untrue things is lying, while others may think knowing saying untrue things isn’t lying)
Just to show folks how simple this is, here's the JavaScript (JXA) version of the AppleScript code needed to run JS in the current active tab:

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript <<EndOfScript
var current_tab = Application('Google Chrome').windows[0].activeTab();
current_tab.execute({ javascript: 'alert(1)' })
EndOfScript

Once you figure it out it's not too tricky. For example, I have shell utils for converting all links on a page to "in current tab links" by removing the `target` attr on <a> tags:

function chromeJS() {
INPUT="$1";
INPUT=${INPUT//\"/\\\"} ## escape quotes
INPUT=${INPUT//\'/\\\'}
/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript <<EndOfScript
var current_tab = Application('Google Chrome').windows[0].activeTab();
current_tab.execute({ javascript: '$INPUT' })
EndOfScript
}
...
$ chromeJS "document.querySelectorAll('a').forEach(a => a.removeAttribute('target')); alert('Made all links in-tab links!')"

Amazing how such avowed free market capitalists have a meltdown against free market capitalism the moment it leads to an outcome they don’t like.

I don’t like this decision by Dahl’s estate, but I wasn’t the one pushing for massively long copyright protections. It was all the people who pretend to be free market capitalists did.

If you want to designate something as “culture” and then yet insist that it must be owned by a single private entity which is the only one that has the right to do anything with it, such things will be the inevitable consequence.

The only cultural vandalism is the one that does not allow anyone but a private entity to reprint this apparent cultural treasures.

And this wasn’t a result of woke-ism. It was a result of free market forces.
I don't doubt that.

But I honestly don't know how would I tell my kid that the Sleeping Beauty was a minor raped by a stranger who tripled her age. Nor I think it could provide any "life lesson" to a six year old.
Exactly. That's what differentiates it from folk: Both are music of the people, but pop music was explicitly written for a commercial purpose, and it's existed in that form since before audio recording existed, as another poster mentioned.
In a sane language, you can hook up objects in a graph structure with cycles and pass the whole thing (or any portion thereof) wherever you want without having to abandon safety.

Can you share more about your cost structure? I keep looking at DaVinci at $0.00002/token and come out with economics of $10-20/month for a SaaS that takes your tasks and gives you a plan for today. Are you using Ada/Babbage/Curie? Any tips?
interestingly, sales tax in San Francisco (8.63%) is noticeably lower than in the Easy Bay (10.25%).

replacing big ticket items such as a macbook pro 16” ends up being about $40 cheaper, especially for someone commuting into the city for work anyway.
Language ability, manner of speaking, physical stature and presentation, reputation from previous interactions with staff, you name it—all worsened by the fact that many of these are probably going to be done by course staff. It's not clear to me that any other form of assessment has as much potential for subconscious bias.

Orchestras started using privacy screens for auditions for a reason. And I'm not familiar with an equivalent for the human voice, particularly for hiding halting, labored, or elliptical speech—possibly by a non-native speaker—that they could straighten out on the page.
I seem to recall every Japanese console of that era having options for fishing, kb/mouse, and shooting. You have a point with maracas, but please never forget the congo drums for the GameCube/Wii and the Guitar Hero controller for literally everything with a video output.

I sincerely hope that I never accidentally apply for a company that thinks an unpaid, long form writing prompt is an appropriate interview question because the work happens to be hard.
Are you suggesting that one has to forgo their favourite code editors, and learn what is arguably the most complex editor, in order to use Clojure? That's the kind of attitude that makes all beginners run away.
Yes, and I've been one, and know that time is finite and you have more than one class that demands work on a deadline, along with all the other fun stuff college has that pulls you away from your studies, and the not so fun stuff like part time employment. If you leave the system as it is today, its easy to copy and paste code. If you do something akin to what I proposed, you've eliminated copy and paste, and made cheating into a literal chore that isn't saving you nearly as much time as it would have otherwise, and fewer students will end up cheating. You'd be surprised at how many students I knew in undergrad who would be broke and would still pay like $400 a semester on textbooks because the friction of doing hackery things like photocopying chapters of the book in the library, or googling "my math book 2nd ed. pdf" and finding the library genesis result was just too much.

Of course the death blow for this sort of cheating is the exam, which you weight quite a bit more than the homework. A student who just copy and pastes code will still fail the class, since they can't use chatgpt in the lecture hall during exam time.
Right. The weird American manufactured distaste for unionism has progressed to the point where y’all can be working for some of the most rich and profitable companies in the world and somehow convince yourselves that unionising will make you LESS money.
