Anecdotally, seems there's a lot of British and European expats here in the Valley and they don't seem too keen on returning. We've been getting a lot of international applicants (but work from home was supposed to mean Europeans could avoid moving to the "dangerous" US but work for American companies?).

Post 2016 the messaging from most commonwealth countries (UK, Canada, Australia) seemed to be that they were going to be the ones benefiting from a brain drain of Americans leaving the country. Canada was supposed to become an "AI Superpower" and Universities in the UK were supposed to be where innovation was going to happen next due to the perceived hostility of the United States to foreign talent. I recall someone pitching the "Silicon Roundabout" and that Cambridge and Oxford were going to be the new Stanford and MIT.

It's interesting, in retrospective, to see how wrong these predictions were. Top destination for UK nationals in Academia was, and still is... the US [0].

People who can't avoid being assholes to other people tend to avoid actually being around other people, but god knows they'll post a lot online.

In the first phase of Capitalism, it has lifted millions of people out of poverty. But we are reaching its limits now.

Inequality is a problem, but this problem is transcended when there is a correlation between individual wealth and common well-being, like Ethical Capitalism proposes.

That's the neat thing about federation. A lot of these people are coming from the million plus users of Mastodon who didn't need to make a new account to use Lemmy.

https://the-federation.info/

The active user count isn't up that much. It's mostly people finding out about Lemmy or remembering it exists. They're building the communities that will be there when the Reddit API changes finally go into effect. It's actually better that it happen this way so most people's first impression coming from Reddit is a good one.
I would add another big variable here: people who are lonely don't always recognize they want social connection, and it's because a lot of people don't have the capability to form healthy, fulfilling relationships with other humans and therefore don't have much (if any) past history of feeling fulfilled by social interaction. If they were to build this capability and experience fulfilling social interactions, they'd find themselves wanting more of it and therefore become less lonely.
Yes, that was a rough migration process, but the long-term result is we have an improved language and growing community instead of Python going the way of PHP and Perl.

Between the 3 P's, Python's strategic decisions in 2000s were clearly the most successful.

And it wasn't a total rewrite.

P1: LLM-based code completion engine at the edge
Congrats to you on taking the hard decision to learn a practical, but let's be honest somewhat dangerous new skill later in life. I have a couple friends in their 30s who live in a rural area but do not drive and it's a real barrier to the enjoyment of their lives. They have been afraid to learn due to the inherent danger of it.

I do want to point out that learning to drive, but not driving regularly, can be a little dangerous. Unfortunately, like with any skill, a lot of driving ability/safety comes from a ton of practice. By not owning a car and only driving less frequently you are getting a lot less practice and in turn will be a less safe driver when you do drive. And constantly changing cars with different rentals all the time will only compound the unfamiliarity. Simply put someone with 100,000 miles of driving experience will tend to be a better driver than someone with 10,000 miles of driving experience. It's one of the reasons why a teenager, despite their excellent reflexes, is not necessarily a good driver (but also impulse control and other things from being young).

If the trade-off is worth it to you, that's cool. But you are what used to be called a "Sunday driver." My grandmother was one who learned later in life and then only drove very occasionally. It's a great life skill but you need to be extra careful. Experience does not come with age, but with miles.
Before opening the link I thought it was going to be something to generate statically typed code based on a DB schema or something. Fun name either way.
Please consider this. As a parent of a teenager I know a fair number of teenagers are crushed by fears of what climate change will do.

It's a horrific burden, it will crush a child's soul. We can make the environment cleaner with our technology, but changing the weather to prevent climate shifts that occur on a geological time scale and involve a nuclear furnace of a scale beyond our wildest imagination is not within our control.

Teaching your children that all the beauty of the planet is going to die because "people are bad and can't get their shit together" is a completely fucked parenting strategy and a horrible, awful, thing to do to children.

Even if it's true it's much kinder to let them live out this normally happy time of their life in blissful ignorance.

Kindness is what life is about.

We should test it and your ego at the same time. We might find some interesting results.

Find someone at the same level of competency as you, set a goal, that person gets access to any LLM they want, you have to do it with no assistance other than reading stack or googling. And if you think your ego can handle it, find someone who you know is below you in competency (but not junior) and set the same goal and see if they surpass your own productivity or progress.

We’d have to set up some controls but you see where I’m getting at. It would be an interesting experiment either way.

It’s all in how you use the tools. If you’re zero shotting and hoping for the best then yeah, not great. But that’s where your domain expertise is supposed to come in.

I too am looking into this for a platform I want to build and unfortunately all I can add is more bad news:

* Paddle is off the list because they don't do marketplaces (well they emailed me and said they might but it depends on the revenue split, which is sketchy to me)

* Mollie also has a "contact us" form and is likely a waste of time.

* Stripe Connect seems like the real deal, but if you're in an unsupported developing country like me (ZA) it comes with additional challenges I still haven't figured out i.e. while it's easy to establish a company in a country supported by Stripe, opening up a bank account without a flight to that country for KYC is basically impossible.

* Beware Stripe Atlas as a non-US citizen: owing a US company comes with very complicated legal obligations in all your future banking and tax dealings

Also, it's super annoying how every thread on HN about this has a majority of people who don't understand that marketplace/platform payment solutions are not the same as direct charge solutions.

On the homepage: "laid back. lowercase."

Maybe it's just me, but I dislike the trend of putting everything into lowercase. Not only do I find it more difficult to read, but my brain is constantly in "grammar correcting" mode. Usually I'm fine correcting the occasional typo in my head, but with this it's like having a mini interrupt at the start of every sentence.
Right. Ultra-pure water is, indeed, extremely pure ... but even tap water is already very pure by the standards of blood, or intra/extra-cellular fluid. The difference between UPW and tap water is nowhere near enough to make it dangerous to drink, save in quantities that are already objectively dangerous to drink tap water: osmotic pressure depends on differences in concentrations, not the absolute level of purity.

Ah yes, the dreaded page limit! I look for examples of working synthesis so I will still read it.

The question of fixed vs. infinite integers and observable sizes of datastructures is a dilemma that I do not know of any good solution to. Selecting fixed and observable sizes leads to efficient execution but risks making programs unportable (after they have been compiled and are distributed as object code).

Selecting arbitrary precision integers and no observable sizes instead requires a smart runtime/jit/compiler to get efficient execution.
I don't agree either, but that is the content of the message I was replying to, and it's the basis of this part of the discussion.

Problem is our common law system incentivizes dishonesty. There is also the problem that everyone tends to start suing the financier if they can't get the results they want out of the business, and the cumulative end result is that financial institutions (through the resulting excess of caution) have become de facto arbiters of legitimate economic activity rather than dumb pipes.

For some people this is apparently okay and desirable. To me it's horrifying, and tends toward centralizing power far too much.
I read that generals did pressure hauruspices eventually to provide the desired reading but often the process introduced an unpredictable delay. Perhaps that's enough?
Yeah, it's very strange framing of what are actually fairly mundane, non-extreme techniques.
Not very, although there is a system of cages that you can use that are somewhat convenient.
That makes sense as you have more to lose with the people you know than the total strangers. Doesn't stop you from testing the waters though. Additionally, it is useful to find out who you can open up to and who you can't.
The perfect victim is never going to sue Google, because the perfect victim doesn't have the resources to sue Google.

It's just like with Epic Games vs. Apple: a lot of people hate Epic, which is fine and justified, but who else is going to sue Apple? I'm an App Store developer, but I can't afford to sue Apple. Some local newspaper is never going to sue Google (or Gannett for that matter).
> I can't see how further purification could possibly suddenly tip it from "just fine" to "so toxic it will kill a goldfish in seconds"

First of all plopping a gold fish just like that into a new tank sounds bad. It is possible the temperature shock killed it.

My other guess would be the lack of oxygen. Ultrapure water used in litography is degassed to prevent the formation of small bubbles. No gass, no oxygen, that can also easily kill a fish.

> Is it, though? Does the taxation rate matter more than the total collected per year distributed by the number of users?

I'd agree with that, if it were applied fairly. Drop the gas tax and switch to $/car across the board. Alternatively, develop a new formula based purely upon vehicle weight[1].

But instead, they just want EVs, including things like Nissan Leaf, to pay the same as the average. In my state, the average is a lot closer to an F-150 doing 15k/year than it is to a Corolla.

This is just punitive to the EV owner.

[1] As it is, mpg correlates strongly with weight, so gar cars effectively already get taxed based upon a combination of weight and miles driven. The challenge is to figure out a reasonable, non-punitive approach to doing the same for EVs. At least in "anti-EV" states, it is very obvious that there is no attempt to do that.

I think I agree with you that distilled/ultrapure water wouldn't be harmful, but I think it would be okay only due to consuming electrolytes in food. I bet the amount of salts/minerals you need in food increases if you only drink distilled water. And I bet if you fast and only drink distilled water, you would eventually get sick/die.
IMO most of what is "connectedness" or "anti-loneliness" is an illusion. Like those movie scenes where two actors mirror each other's movements to create the illusion of a mirror.

That is, connectedness requires an external structure to synchronize everyone's rhythm. This can be a sports team, a religion, a shared love the same anime or breed of dog, etc...

Loneliness feels more pronounced when in the presence of these illusions. It's not easily solved because from the pov of the lonely person, he/she is asked to believe the equivalent of "2+2=5" in exchange for that kind of connection. It feels like an ask to self-lobotomize. (even if from the pov of say a therapist, the client is actually just in a different kind of illusion)

* "illusion" can have negative valence so an alternative here is "story" or "pillar of meaning"
JavaScript is interpreted and then compiled and optimized. If you're writing TypeScript, that's just converting it into JavaScript.

At the end of the day, a JavaScript program is delivered as text to be interpreted at runtime. A .NET C# .exe or .dll is not. Therefore, one is a script, the other is not.

I think I found this company in the usual way, either on LinkedIn or Indeed or some site like that. No secret there.

In terms of evaluating whether it would be a less stressful place to work, I think looking at how they get funding is important, as that seems to dictate the pace of work. When I did contracting, it was always feast or famine, which makes sense given that you only get money when clients having an emergency need. When I did startups, it was always how much work we could get in before we needed more funding, so it was a race to do more work, to get more money, to do more work—a pie eating contest where the prize is more pie, as the saying goes. With science, or at least at this place, the funding comes from long term research grants that last years. The pace is a little like contracting, structurally, except the timeline for everything is so much longer, so you get more time for research, testing, and iterating.

I have never been screened for anxiety. Never ever. I never thought anxiety was a problem for me. I didn't know a baseline of non-anxious; I was accustomed to fidgeting and being antsy and aggressive. That was normal, right? No psychiatrist every mentioned the word to me in 30 years of treatment. Never were drugs to alleviate anxiety ever put on the table.

About four years ago, I really started listening to other clients in my clinic who suffered from who-knows-what. I learned new terminology from them and I found insights into the experience and treatment of mental illness that doctors don't help with. I spoke to one young lady about dissociation. I asked her what she meant by it, and what that's like for her. I listened to other people speak of debilitating anxiety, and panic attacks, and the sorts of drugs they took to counteract that.

I currently have a prescription for a sort of antihistamine that is supposed to treat anxiety. It works well to do that; unfortunately it also knocks me out for at least 24 hours. So if I am so anxious that I can't sleep, I will take the drug, but I need to be prepared to be asleep in bed for that long, and miss out on work, appointments, church, whatever. It's a Faustian bargain, that's for sure.
My grandfather supposedly did the "Yes, I am over 18" (stepping a piece of paper with 18 on it) trick after Pearl Harbor. I guess it was probably pretty common for kids who were borderline old enough to serve.
Tests are often extremely helpful, but I think the goal of 100% coverage has done much more harm than good, and leads to the kind of trivial tests you describe.

TDD usually works well, and helps guide you towards designing a usable, testable API. Don't test getters and setters, test the actual logic you care about.

I've had plenty of software engineering jobs that were interesting and 9-5, both at small companies and large. That was important to me, so I would always ask expectation of hours during the interview. So I'd say most of the options still exist. (This was in Austin, though, not SF)

You could try contract work, for example with Toptal. If you go the small projects route you get to work on all kinds of different things, and you can take a break in-between if you want. There's also long-term full-time contracts, and even some long-term half-time ones. This might be a good option if you want to explore, or if you are a generalist, or you want flexibility. It's also an opportunity to get a new perspective on work: what is it you are really selling? For contracting, two things you are selling is "I will solve your problem" and secondarily you are also selling flexibility to the buyer (ready to be done with the contract tomorrow, boss? Great, it was a pleasure working with you, let me know if you need anything in the future).

> It was always called Halo.

Oh, I'm so very sorry! I think there was a misunderstanding. I was actually talking about the development of the game and not its public announcement!

Here is the relevant part of the Wikipedia article:

"Days before the Macworld announcement, Blam! still had no permanent title; possible names included The Santa Machine, Solipsis, The Crystal Palace, Hard Vacuum, Star Maker, and Star Shield.[38] Bungie hired a branding firm that came up with the name Covenant, but Bungie artist Paul Russell suggested alternatives, including Halo. Though some did not like the name—likening it to something religious, or a women's shampoo—designer Marcus Lehto said, "it described enough about what our intent was for this universe in a way that created this sense of mystery."[28] On July 21, 1999, during the Macworld Conference & Expo, Jobs announced that Halo would be released for MacOS and Windows simultaneously.[36]"
