On the contrary: My initial statement had nothing to do with price negotiation. All I was trying to assert was how the tax implications are when you do something yourself vs. when you subcontract.

Do it yourself: Miss out on that hours worth of salary

Subcontract: 2 times tax is paid.

Obviously this has implications on negotiation. This is exactly the reason why services are considered very expensive in the Nordics (as in 80USD to get your hair cut).

Note that this needs to be compared with a company getting their stuff fixed. Their contractor costs are fully deducted from their income.

I agree, that seems reasonable!

I was referring more to the users of such a system (what the AI Act would call a 'deployer'). They may have significantly less expertise but could still be required to track real-time energy use. Of course, simply referring to the 'energy label' by the provider could be a viable solution.
I am a data scientist hired this year at a 30-employee company where I am the only programmer. I meet with my boss about weekly to discuss progress and what to work on. How should solo programmers "estimate"?
I suspect it's way more likely that you'd do a bad job yourself and need to hire a professional to fix it.
I'd imagine that it's fairly straightforward for an advanced LLM to produce structured instructions from the user's requests? As long as the LLM knows what the available commands are.
I think this is impossible in theory (but maybe not in practice ;))

Determining if two programs are equivalent is generally as hard as running the programs for every input and comparing them.

Case in point, Adobe Creative Cloud. Never have I encountered more anti-consumer behavior. For yearly subscriptions they only allow you to "not continue subscribing for another year" during a brief window of time right before your renewal date.

Mind you, I'm not talking about cancelling the service and backing out of obligations that you've agreed to, I'm talking about Adobe engineering a situation in which they implicitly assume that you want to continue being a customer, while removing the ability for you to tell them that you no longer wish to be a customer.
Couldn't agree more. A web site who's content is freely provided, moderated for free and pretty much just linked to other content and they still can't make money without charging extortionate amounts of money.

So many suitable options were voiced for the 3pa such as profit shares or just reasonable priced API fees.

It baffles me that Reddit didn't already turn a profit. So over bloated and the shit they have actually paid people for such as the official app and desktop site, is just sub standard
WordPress, Nextcloud, XWiki, Univention, Passbolt are a few other profitable open source businesses doing well. It is possible to sell open source software :-)

Now, maybe it's not as profitable, but not every wants to be as big as Apple or Microsoft.

I was on the fence for the past couple of weeks. But this interview (https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/15/23762868/reddit-ceo-steve...) pushed me over the edge. Huffman's doublespeak, white lies (I'm certain there's a bunch of third party apps that you won't name that are still "in talks" about the new API pricing), and actual lies (trying to smear Christian's name) point to a company that simply cannot be trusted. Even if Reddit fixed all of the API issues today, I wouldn't want to go back.

And you bring up the most important issue anyway: every single Reddit community I've participated in has become noticeably worse over the past decade. They don't care because we're not the meme-and-ad-slurpee sipping target audience who will mindlessly scroll pictures and videos on the official Reddit app.

I don't think there is any need to explain what's happening with reddit. Since then I finally managed to leave that every increasingly meaningless timesink. I have replaced the different subreddits I used to consult with blog and news-sites, either directly or via RSS. Which websites do you use eveyday to get general news about your interests ? For me I narrowed it down to:

- Hacker News

- IndieWire

- GameInformer

- Tor.com

- Newsarama

- The Brussels Times

Build123d: Open-Source Python Toolbox for 2D and 3D CAD Modeling
I hold domains at nearly all the popular registrars (eggs, one basket, etc.) but https://iwantmyname.com/ is another I want to add to the list. It's not often mentioned but is notable in being one of very few registrars to not attempt upsells to hosting, services, etc. NameCheap irritates me with this practice in particular.
Seems to be a homophone of "Oui <BLANK> j'ai vu" -> Yes <BLANK> I've seen [it].

Anyone has an insight on what "ptdr" might mean?
I am stuck with an application written in Python2, where porting it to Python3 is difficult – if it was just the Python language changes it wouldn't be a big issue, but a third party library we heavily rely on decided that Python2->3 would be a good opportunity to completely redesign their API. Getting the application to handle that third party API redesign is a big task and thus far nobody has had the bandwidth/pain-tolerance/etc to undertake it.

But recently we've been finding other libraries we use need to be upgraded for various reasons, but the new versions we need to upgrade to are now Python3-only. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Until I discovered https://github.com/justfoxing/jfx_bridge – a Python2-to-3 RPC bridge. So now the Python2 app spawns a Python3 subprocess to host some of its libraries which it accesses over RPC. Ugly as hell but for now the least worst option. My hope is we can gradually transition more and more of the app on to the Python3 side of the bridge, and maybe eventually the Python2 side (and the bridge) can be jettisoned.

Which also led me to discover https://github.com/justfoxing/ghidra_bridge – this Python2 app is nothing to do with Ghidra (it is CPython whereas Ghidra is Jython), but I've been mucking around with Ghidra, and being able to write Python3 to control it is a better experience than Python2. I hate the 2<->3 mental context switching I'm forced into and would like as little of it as possible.
> The reason why I'm personally sticking with the iPhone is exactly the walled garden...If I didn't want a walled garden, I'd get an Android phone.

Same here. I like Apple, for the same reason that many geeks hate them.

I get a lot of enjoyment out of wresting a great user experience from a highly-restricted environment. That's part of the challenge, for me.
This is why I cannot use things like Evernote, OneNote, or the MacOS Notes app. I have first-hand experience of the latter two encountering corruption which was unrecoverable due to their proprietary data format. All three have pretty poor export choices (PDF? Really? What am I supposed to do with that?). I am at the point where I will never again use something that is not plain text files as they are and will likely remain the most portable format.

This is how I ended up discovering Obsidian and I have not looked back since.
This is wildly misunderstood by many just how insanely good is the current JVM. It scares me how much it has improved in the last ten years. Since it has been open source for a long time, many university researchers have done experiments and proposed HotSpot improvements. Plus, Sun/Oracle employs a small army of PhD researchers to work on it "night and day". If Project Valhalla ever sets sail (pun intended), I could imagine other languages begin to target JVM instead of their own (worse) VM. (Raku talked about it a few years ago.) When I need to move from Java to Python, I am always painfully reminded how terrible is the VM performance in a tight loop that does not use list comprehension.
This is interesting, but in practice the quality of results is paramount, and how does something like searx compare against DDG… or Google? I wonder what kind of metric could be defined to even plot that.

Is there a good explanation of the mechanism of action? Metformin is also a Mitochondrial Complex 1 inhibitor, so I would be curious about Annonaceous acetogenins.
It's especially prevalent in France (where you seem to also come from).
I often jest that here engineers are just blue-collar workers with a masters degree. And it's not uncommon to hear engineers refer to themselves as ingésclave ("engineslave").

This being said, companies that really do provide added value and grow are usually the ones valuing their engineering staff highly.

As for myself, I outright refuse to work with traditionally structured French companies.

> Build123d could be considered as an evolution of CadQuery[1] where the somewhat restrictive Fluent API (method chaining) is replaced with stateful context managers - e.g. with blocks - thus enabling the full python toolbox: for loops, references to objects, object sorting and filtering, etc.

You are correct. I have many that do 5V 4A.
I'd call that a proxy for what kind of parent you prefer your state to be, but it's probably complex enough that you could just as well start the feedback loop at gender role and work out from there.
The only one I found interesting was Lemmy. It looks like old reddit and it is built on the ActivityPub protocol. I've also looked into ActivityPub the last days and it seems very logical. Someone described it as email for json. The benefit is that any service on the Fediverse can talk to each other and users don't have to sign up for every service, they can just use their one identity if they want.

There are multiple instances of Lemmy. https://programming.dev/ seems like a good place to start for people on hackernews. Once you have signed up you can read and interact with other Lemmy instances as well.

The main problem they need to solve it to make it more user friendly and simple. I think a barrier for many users is to understand what ActivityPub and Fediverse is. They should put all that info in an about page, and present the login as any other web 2.0 app.
Hmmm, I’ve never heard seen ads like that. I wouldn’t have thought your example was legal, actually. Maybe other states? If that was your experience I can see why you feel that way.
Parent is saying it's the first evidence of TREATMENT.

Incidentally, my bet is that many other viruses and bacteria have similar post acute symptoms. I wonder if these can also be measured and treated, perhaps even with metformin. I wonder how much of metformin's magical anti aging capabilities are actually due to fighting off latent infections.
That minority makes the different demands on UI, since they use the site in a different way from the passive users.

Case in point, if you're rarely ever contributing it doesn't really even matter if the entire website crashes when you paste into the rich text editor so you lose everything you've written.

But in the office, there could be a beefy workstation waiting for me. As long as we're not talking about floating workplace setups (which I'm no big fan of) or cutting costs, I still don't see the upside.
To a degree you can also "hide" it in places where it is logical. E.g. if a game has an enemy faction that goes out of its way to attack the player, it does make sense that these attacks get stronger - if someone causes a faction more trouble, he gets more attention and stronger assets are sent to take them out, guards are reinforced, ... And maybe in reverse, weaker intelligent enemies make a point of avoiding the player (would some badly-equipped bandits really ambush a party that's clearly better prepared for combat than them?). That's then somewhat satisfying: clearly those enemies are stronger, and you now can beat them!

What makes little sense is if wildlife you've encountered before suddenly can take 4x more damage, or the same badly equipped guard suddenly fights back a lot better.
You’ll find you’re not the first person who has discovered that you can cheat on your taxes by expensing personal purchases and by deducting things you are explicitly not allowed to deduct. The government’s inability to cheaply audit people like you means you won’t get in trouble. Your gut feeling that “it’s questionable” is right. Accountants lie about what deductions are allowed because they know the way to get happy customers is by producing tax savings, even where none exist. Just look up the tax laws for yourself and you’ll find that the “massive loophole” doesn’t exist.
I'd say this is a case of the 'Inner platform' effect (Using a tool to build a poor replica of the tool) . Pointers are nothing more than indexes in the memory array. It turns out keeping track of what index does what is so hard, rust has a borrow checker to help with that. But sometimes it's annoying, so we create a workaround, and if we go too far with that workaround, we forget why we had a borrow checker to begin with.

Notice how the array technique has parallels to memory: You can have multiple arrays of different types a.k.a segmented memory. You can mark unused array objects, a.k.a. overwrite free'd memory with 0xDEADBEEF.
They also have gained an incredibly bad reputation in the Psion community (hardware, shipping, support, etc.). That has kept me from considering them...
I was an avid apple user, then switched to android about 5 years ago thinking I'd do more with a more open device. I've not really done much with it, I'll likely switch back to apple again and at that point move to apple TV devices and home speakers too.

My wife is an iPhone user. She's not in anyway technical and I think a walled garden is perfect for her and others of a similar technical ability.
Tech is a breeze if you understand it, if not it's a liability.
French is even more gendered and attempts to introduce a neutral pronoun basically failed.

Now - English is for us a very different language that does not have declination so whatever construct there is inside is taken at face value. This is maybe why there are no particular problems using they/them for a single person.

Maybe that the closer distance between German and English is one of the reasons for what you described? (wildly guessing)
Stop Calling Each New Disaster “The New Normal”
People suffering from long covid certainly have a different experience. There's a range from "things smelled differently for a few months" to "I'm now functionally disabled due to fatigue". But without biomarkers that say you have this thing, it just looks like you're being lazy. So why would anybody tell you they have it and be judged?
Toss in a fourth: maintenance price.

Maybe even a fifth: storage price.

Funny enough, I actually have noticed this with my books. More books require more bookshelves. More bookshelves require more real estate. It's a straight-line arrow of causation from picking up a copy of Moby Dick to house-shopping for a place large enough where I can have my own private library.
Did he try Sailfish Os ?

Honestly, it's the only Alternative Non-android based phone OS that works.
I have been using it for the last 2 years and it works great.
The android support works well enough that YouTube, my bank, waze work nicely.

Sailfish has a ton of great apps, the community is very active. Can't find a native app, android support is here.

And yes, it's not "truly" open source, but it's way more than android. Yes, android has an Opensource license, but good luck doing something that google don't want.
Interesting take. You can push it further and suggest that if you don't pay the second price you don't own it at all. It's lying around as an object or unused subscription, but you're getting no benefit from it.

It's not a binary because sometimes you want things for the future, or just in case, or just because you like having them - and maybe showing them off.

But sometimes none of those are true. So what did you buy? And why?

This is known as the theories X and Y of management: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_X_and_Theory_Y

The personality of the leadership will determine whether they think of workers as self-motivated (will actively look for work) or externally motivated (will wait for work and try to avoid it). Those who don’t think workers are self-motivated will build management structures where people are discouraged from thinking beyond their station and have all kinds of reporting and incentives to make them do their work.

I was for a long time hard in the self-motivated camp, but eventually realized that’s me and not everyone, and maybe not even most people. A multi-modal management approach that leaves room for both works better but is harder to pin down.
Arguably Cloudflare Registrar is not a core business considering it makes no money.
Huh, interesting - from the perspective of someone about ten years younger than the friends you've described, I often had the conversation how great the english singular "they/them" is (either for an unknown or non-binary gender) and how sorely it's missing in the German language.
I'm not the person you asked, but one way would be to mount the backup drive just for the backup, then unmount it once the backup is complete. This would limit the time the backup is exposed to ransomware.
I dunno about there, but here you can just put it at the curb in front of your house and someone is bound to come along and pick it up, even if only to scrap it for the metal.
Sorry, I'm losing track of what you are proposing. I guess you mean MOESI plus an additional Stale state? Can you describe all the transitions and when they are performed?

I spent 6 years writing complex, deep react code. then I couldn't get a job
I worked for a large, prominent manufacturer for the past 6 years, writing react native code every day and architecting 2 apps through major growth and constant iteration. gesture based animations, complex forms, real time data, involved cacheing strategies etc. working with a high end team.

got laid off in December and spent the next 6 months applying for every fully remote react job I could find (I live in the sticks). ~60 applications, ~15 interviews, ~8 technical coding style interviews ... 0 offers.

what gives? is it because I can only do remote? (though these were jobs advertised as fully remote). Are these companies just flooded with people better than me?

I tend to fear its because I didn't do well enough on the gotcha-laden coding interviews - but I'm really good and sharp on the stuff they were trying to test!

finally got a job using a different/older stack but I want to try to gain insight into what is happening with this corner of the job market in 2023. hear what others are experiencing. is it just me??
I tentatively disagree here. The only required complexity for federation is choosing a server/instance. Once you are using it the experience could be made frictionless.

I think a big problem people have had with trying to join federated socials is that they did it when everyone else tried it and thus the system failed. And so people think its really hard when its just been technical issues with onboarding people.
