Canadian cities have become as or more expensive than their US counterparts but have a way worse employment and salary situation. I don't see how this current environment is favorable for immigration. If anything it will make the problem worse. Where is the new housing going to come from? Who is going to create the new jobs? And if you don't have any jobs for skilled immigrants to fill, what exactly are they going to do in your country?

And no, don't start with the usual "they will create a new Silicon Valley!". That's not how it works.
The second sentence is patently untrue.
I don't know.

On one hand, lag is real. I rebooted my M1 Mac mini yesterday running Ventura, and while it only took a few seconds to boot to the desktop, it took, like, two minutes for it to stop beach-balling and finish initializing. (It was most likely waiting on network I/O to finish, but still.)

On the other hand, machines are faster than ever before while doing more than ever before, and apps are more flexible and change more quickly (largely in part to super approachable cross-platform frameworks like Electron). A few milliseconds of UI latency will bother almost no-one.

On the other _other_ hand, Julio's demo of using Windows 2000 on an time-appropriate machine is best case. I definitely remember waiting what felt like eons for lots of useful apps to load, like Office and Internet Explorer. (Remember when browsers had startup screens?)

He's definitely right about how far hardware has come since 1999.

The shift to Apple Silicon was even more transformational than the transition to SSD, IMO. Julio's right in that the shift to SSD was night-and-day, but going from an Intel Mac to an Apple Silicon Mac sped up literally everything you used to an insane degree AND you got 12+ hour battery life to boot.

This used to be an either-or kind of trade-off, and for Windows devices, it still is.

To wit: I used an Intel Mac Pro (the trash can) last week for some audio work, and that super expensive almost-server-class machine was _slower_ than my base model M1 Mac mini at home, while running (slightly) louder and hotter!
Yeah but the choice is clear. Most tech workers prefer remote work or at least freedom of choice.
Congrats my friend, well deserved brother, well deserved!

My question is: can we get a Yak Shavers playlist on YouTube, where all SerenityOS development is gathered in one place? We have so much to learn from you people.
I admit I have not pushed them that far, though I am also using 40B and 65B models which may perform better than a 30B model.

Nothing open approaches GPT-4 yet, which I have heard is an overlay of multiple 220B models.

The only way you will see that on even high end consumer hardware is advances in compression and pruning, but those are happening. There’s a lot of research in those areas.

Of course then cloud models could use the same techniques to get even bigger, if the model and training will keep scaling.

Edit: as AI matures you may also see lots of custom ASICs hit the market. I could see those getting cheap enough to run many hundred B models locally. The acceleration of an ASIC designed for a specific type of model over CPU and GPU could be dramatic, reducing the amount of silicon you need.

Why do you assume that people who can build sewage or public transport or houses or provide healthcare wouldn't move to the place where everyone wants to move to?

My answer is that the demand will provide its supply.
Yes: his wage is artificially depressed by "market conditions" due to the willingness of foreign workers to make less. This is especially harmful to entry level developers who haven't had time to build up a niche/profitable specialty.

There actually is a way to know. People can and do reverse engineer the code on device. I've done it myself many times.

I would also note that unless you compile an open source project yourself, there's no guarantee that the compiled product you download from an open source project actually came from the publicly available source. If you want to get all conspiratorial, I suggest that you're not conspiratorial enough. ;-)

Collect welfare (or is it called "social insurance" north of the border?).

In actuality I expect there to be a rise in "mid-shoring" of technical work to Canada rather than overseas (same time zones, less appearance of selling out since it's sending work to Canada, not a "real" foreign country).
that's why I use Slack in the browser. It's very snappy and much less power-intensive.

Probably not, if only for reasons of inertia. Git plus third-party review tools (like GitHub) is more than "good enough" for most purposes.

I used to work at FB, and while sapling is quite nice to use in practice, without the internal version of Phabricator to do code review (and, in all likelihood, mononoke), I don't think I'd pick it up again.

If anyone's ever in the Netherlands for more than a couple of days, I'd highly recommend checking out the Kröller-Müller Museum. It has the second-largest collection of Van Gogh paintings [1], but also a sizeable number of paintings from the period leading up to his work, and following his work. It's really interesting to see how it fits in the larger developments in the painting world, and feels like his work is a crucial link in the transition from Rembrandt to abstract work like Mondriaan's.

[1] And while you're at it, visit the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam for the largest collection.
I think I can imagine how such a system came out to be, until fairly recently keeping accurate timekeeping and even datekeeping might have been difficult, especially for isolated people. You may not have known the exact date of one's birth, but you know that it was "3 winters ago" or somesuch. You wouldn't know the precise day of one's birth, but you'd know the year and use that instead.

> Nice thought, except most of us are morally no better than expensive prostitutes.

I don't find anything immoral about sex work, but that aside, I think one of the benefits of a professional organization would be to unlicense unethical actors like how doctors lose their licenses or attorneys are removed from the bar. The idea here is:

- PA (prof. assoc.) says, "hey, we're not making encryption backdoors and we're not making tools to crack them available to governments and law enforcement"

- PA lobbies against policies that would mandate encryption backdoors

- PA lobbies for a law that says you must be licensed to distribute software at a certain scale

- PA strips licenses from engineers working on encryption backdoors

It's not perfect, you can probably imagine a lot of holes in it, but there are holes in everything (you can travel to a different medical regulatory regime, etc. etc.). The point isn't perfection, the point is to move society in the right direction rather than have this idiotic discussion about encryption literally every year.

> Many doctors take bribe money from Big Pharma. Also some doctors do crazy stuff like recommend surgeries to fund a new swimming pool.

Corruption happens, and I think it's clear humanity hasn't figured out how to deal with it. I don't think that's a reason not to organize though.
People dont realize how much ‘casual racism’(i.e. without anger or violence) there is outside of the West. I grew up looking/seen as ‘foreign’ in my home country. I was never allowed to forget it, whereas when spending a year n the US I felt more accepted than ever before.

I certainly don't want this mantle.

Everyone wins if, in layman terms, you can instead make it clear to the non-technical people what the issue is.
For that matter let’s get rid of the asinine BC system and just use negative years AD.

The thing that gets me is that when they invented the CE notation, they went to the trouble of inventing a “BCE” notation for BC. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

Also while we are fixing broken modular arithmetic, let’s add a proper modulo division operator to all the languages that got % wrong :)

"Native" is not really the right thing to look in here. As the article notes, even Windows built-in apps like calculator (/notepad/explorer/paint) are still "native" to some degree (certainly not electron based) and nevertheless dog-slow compared to their predecessors.
I am guessing I am telling you the obvious when I tell you to backup all meaningful pictures and videos into whatever your long-term storage solution is (aka SSD or Cloud) before the phone inevitably dies and becomes inaccessible, especially if the phone memory is encrypted with some weird proprietary algo where you will never get the data off of it even if you know the password.

I found some old computers a while back, from the early 2000s. None of them booted. I couldn't get anything off even after pulling the HDs and connecting to them directly - everything was corrupted despite sitting in a fairly dry, clean, climate-controlled space.
I severely disagree, the technical cost of the c++ syntax is beyond anything reasonable. That reason alone is enough to avoid its usage:

It is less worse to write and try to keep sane plain and simple C, that to be dependent on a c++ compiler, not to mention that c++ code is no more immune from toxic code than C. Actually, this is the other way around: since the syntax is beyond-reasonable complex, c++ toxic code is way worse than c toxic code.

C is a lesser evil than c++.

> Sooo it’s dapper with string interpolation override to make queries parameterized so you don’t need to manually put the parameters on as 2nd arguments?

Pretty much. C# does some really cool innovations around string interpolation which proves very useful for logging, SQL query etc.

You can create your own string interpolation handler, which is what the new SQL query does and what several log libraries do. So basically you can use interpolation safely and remain assured that you do not introduce SQL injection errors. Also, this way string interpolation does not prevent query plan caching, as normal string interpolation would do.
yeah, I shared that thought way too late in my day, lol
Yet still entering a colder climate.
Even in cities, would you rather have a clean well furnished apartment with plenty of space, nice tv, nice kitchern and a nice view or a hotel? The only pro I can think of by comparison is room service and maids cleaning up or if you actually make use of concierge services.
A way to go yet. Lotus Notes/Sametime in 2008 is still the worst software I’ve ever used.

I don’t support deporting citizens (and neither does US nor international law).

My support for high-skilled/highly-educated immigrants is based on a nakedly selfish desire to have those immigrants improve the global competitiveness of my country, in order to make it continue to be a great place for my children and grandchildren to live. I assume other countries are making the same selfish calculations, resulting in similar policies.

Feel free to call my policy preferences selfish; I already have and will agree with you.

Under the old system, the oldest person "age 6" is still 365 days older than the youngest.

An infant born on 2022-01-01 is currently "2", the same "age" as a baby born on 2022-12-31.
> People of often having a cultural, religious and moral background completely different to more-or-less original value Canadians? How will that work?

Most are not interested in western culture, they come here specifically for the salary, while maintaining the culture and social networks from where theyre originally from.

And there are 1.5 billion Indians and 1.5 billion Chinese people.

How that will work is: as they become the dominant culture your country will simply become either China west or India west.

In America they let the population of an entire state every year of immigrants into America.
Don’t watch the Brave Little Toaster then!
Taxing someone $10k to give them back $500 as an incentive to buy an ebike, while keeping the rest isn’t a good plan. That’s my point. It’d be better to just leave them with their money for multiple reasons.

The FDA's regulatory scheme is absolutely backwards.

Investigating foreign facilities and forcing manufacturers to comply with onerous paperwork and recordkeeping details does little or nothing to ensure the availability, quality, and low cost of generic drugs. (In fact, you could argue that it does just the opposite, in reducing availability and increasing cost, with at best indifferent results where drug quality is concerned.)

Instead, the FDA should test a statistically valid random sample of any given drug _upon its import and introduction to the US pharmaceutical supply chain._

This would be considerably less expensive for all involved, less demanding and even demeaning for all involved, and of far greater relevance to the quality and safety of the drugs available on the US market.
They didn't say that? They directly replied to the claim that once you tried WFH you would never go back. Sounds like they were directly affected by it, and had a different experience.

> is porn even really disallowed on TV in your country, or just nobody wants it?

It's pretty heavily regulated on broadcast TV in the UK, to a silly extent; including hassling the much more liberal Dutch regulator https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-17297090 and censoring a TV station merely advertising a porn site https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0028/46891/o... (on the grounds that since it's a paid service it counts as "teleshopping" like QVC)

The UK makes periodic ineffectual attempts to censor it off the internet.
Do you have any evidence suggesting record numbers?

Canada's official numbers do show that Q3 2022 was a record high for emigration (16.5k -- Q3 2018 was 15.5k), but other recent quarters (Q4 2022, Q1 2023, etc) are still lower than prior years. And you have a significantly higher population now than back then.[1]

Yeah and IIRC some Tesla commercials are saying that there’s a person behind the wheel "only for legal reasons", which tells the target audience that it can fully drive itself, if it was not for these pesky regulations.

And then, when they say "you must keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road", people tend to understand that they risk a ticket because "legal reasons", but that otherwise it’s perfectly safe to ignore these requirements.

I think they mislead people on purpose, leveraging this ambiguous claim of "only for legal reasons", together with the misleading way they call it Auto Pilot, and now even Full Self Driving. How do they get away with it? How comes they don’t get sued?
Please won't you think about the economic utility of this arrangement? There's more to life than "concern" and "care" for your relatives, neighbors, and the "next generation". What about money? We can make _more_ money this way. I know _you're_ not making more money but have you considered that you just didn't work hard enough? Maybe if you immigrated to Bangladesh you could re-tread tires while you studied computer science. One day you might earn yourself an H1-B visa in the UK. I hear that's a nice country.

I was about to respond similarly - original Canadian (children of past immigrants) may need to deal with an influx of immigrants. Immigration has more benefits than downsides especially for aging countries with low birth rates and the ability to pull highly educated immigrants is a net positive for a country and I haven’t got to the cultural benefits that they bring.

Some of the recent tool started to come out to fix Git unfriendly UX.

Meta's Sapling (1) is definitely one of them. But there is also `jj` (2) and `git-branchless` (3). These tools target a smaller set of workflow where there is 1 main branch inside a big repo and everything else are short-lived branch/topic that could be treated as ephemeral stack of patches, constantly being uproot / rebase on top of the main branch to derive final result.

If that's the workflow you use daily, then you should give these tools a try.

If the code is handwritten or not does not really matter when you are looking at the generated execution plans and so on for troubleshooting.

I worked with several systems not using ORMs that still have the N+1 problem. And if a schema generator also is used it won't forget to add indexes.

My main issue with ORMs is that schema changes over time becomes more and more scary. Another thing is that many libs comes with a bit of magic. A seemingly innocent change can move things from SQL to the client or the other way around. Ending up with large performance impacts.

EDIT: And probably 100% of all the security related issues I have fixed in SQL would have been avoided with an ORM framework.
You might find it interesting to explore how LLMs can optimize customer support systems by analyzing large volumes of data and generating personalized responses. Additionally, investigating the ethical implications of AI in decision-making processes could be a worthwhile avenue to pursue. Good luck with your thesis!

I don't know about Ada+Spark, Cyclone, D, but, since it can compile to C, you can write Linux kernel modules in Nim without Linus' permission / specific "help" from the Linux kernel team: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/10303

(Yes, not stock Nim, but in that Araq expresses an interest in that thread in supporting said in stock Nim.)

This is one advantage to a C/C++ target in addition to trying to optimize the actual emitted assembly from gcc/clang/etc. It also helps when LLVM may not support your CPU, but you have a C compiler, such as in some embedded spaces. There are trade-offs, of course, as with everything.
