> Unfortunately these are the exact people that Germany wants moving into their country - because they're the one's who pay the high taxes.

Not sure about that. The ideal immigrant to a country is young and well educated. Through labour, they will contribute immensely to society and pay top income tax.

In constrast, some rich people who park their wealth in offshore tax heavens and live off passive income don't contribute much, beyond rising real estate prices.
Perhaps the place I use it most is that try/catch is how you deal with rejected promises that you've `await`ed in an `async` function.
Show HN: Askmore – Let an AI run user interviews on your behalf
Hi HN,

We're Arindam and Julien and we're building AskMore.ai. AskMore uses an AI to run user interviews on your behalf. We like to think about it as a new user research method that sits between traditional user interviews and user surveys: It's as easy as sending a survey link but the AI will adapt to the user answers, follow up and dig deeper to provide you with insights as deep as what you'd get in a user interview.

We got the idea after a lot of struggles to get feedback on our other side projects. We couldn't get many user interviews (low response rate, long delays to schedule calls), and surveys were providing answers that were too shallow.

We have a few people running interviews on AskMore and the main benefits we're seeing are:
- You can get feedback way faster than if you had to schedule calls (for instance we got more than 40 answers to our own interview in just a few days).
- It works in any language so you can interview users you couldn't hear before.
- It's more lightweight for the participant so you get a better response rate and it can even be a good first step that can unlock a call.
- The AI follows user research best practices (we've been particularly inspired by The Mom Test, but you can override everything) so you don't need to know how to ask the right questions. In fact, I've been amazed multiple times by how the AI would adapt to the conversation and find insights I wouldn't have been able to find myself if I had been conducting the interview.

Something important is that we don't think this should replace traditional interviews. It's still super important to connect directly with your users. But this could be a good complement to get more feedback, or to help making the first step.

It's super early and rough, but it works and we're eager to get more feedback and to see how it behaves on more use cases. Feel free to give it a try (message us on our Intercom, we can provide more free credits) or just share your thoughts on the concept.

Thanks!
Think of a REPL or shell (which I guess is a REPL…). Same thing you might do in a Jupyter NB.
Ok so what is the terminology to refer to this class of materials?

A ceramic?

I'm happy to accept that internet explorer isn't an OS, but it would be nice to know what terminology you would find acceptable.
This is probably the biggest problem with FP, and I love FP, and use fp-ts which is marred in category theory. It took me a while to understand concepts that are really quite simple but explained very academically.

Remember, [Monada are just monoids in the category of endofunctors](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3870088/a-monad-is-just-...)

That being said, I love FP and am a better programmer today because of it.
Great.

And when there's a thread about Go I'm sure someone will tell us they don't use it and a different language is 100x better, too.
Considering the downvotes, you probably forgot the "/s".
The key to modern fuzzing is feedback, usually some kind of coverage measurement of the program under test. This allows the fuzzer to be much smarter about how it finds new code paths and discards inputs that don't extend coverage. This makes fuzzing find bugs a lot quicker.

Google have a project to do fuzzing on Linux system calls using coverage feedback: https://github.com/google/syzkaller
Even canary wharf. Most of the new sky scrappers are resi towers. Not many new office buildings.
literally none of your statements are universal truths.
stay here for a year. then go visit your home country india and then read again what you write here. won't have aged well. almost everybody coming to germany complains about all sorts of stuff. after about a year they can't leave anymore.
That is victim blaming. Or something like it. It is not the countries fault for trying to provide protection against datatheft of its citizens by powerful corporations. That site could choose not to collect and share data and all would be fine.
Vim is all you need.
Canary Wharf is surrounded by poverty in a brown field redevelopment that has been a permanent construction site for over thirty years. It is not really representative of London.

London is an expensive city, you’ll need several million pounds for a decent family home but if you can afford it it’s an absolutely fantastic place to live.

Unfortunately the lack of affordable housing makes it less likely to be so in the long term.

Arguably it is developments like Canary Wharf and the associated planning concessions that have fuelled the London property market to make it practically unaffordable for the vast majority of people that do the real work.
I live in the US and every other day I see a HN thread saying how America is terrible and how Europe is so much better than here. At the same time, you also see a lot more Europeans coming to the US than the other way around. The reality is that no place is perfect, the grass is always greener on the other side and the US, despite its problems, is a pretty darn good place to live.

By the way, I have many friends from South America who moved to Europe just to move back a couple of years later with stories very similar to what you are saying.
[Congestion Charge](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_congestion_charge)

Not to be confused with the [Ultra Low Emission Zone](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Low_Emission_Zone) which also requires a fee to be paid to enter the city.
Even with the /s it's a paltry attempt at belittling real issues. I didn't complain that Germany was full of beer and everybody ate bread and the smell of bakeries was suffocating.
Banking's Future: Why Seamless Integration Is the Buzzword
In today's multifaceted banking ecosystem, it is clear that the divide between the digital and physical realms is narrowing. This convergence demands a seamless customer experience, centered around the concept of "Integration Quality". But why does integration quality hold such importance, and how does it intricately shape customer experiences within the omnichannel banking framework? A deeper analysis reveals some enlightening insights.
The Chinese government's approach to dealing with failing real-estate companies, including Evergrande, is distinct from typical Western bailouts. In China, the strategy often involves allowing such companies to default in a controlled manner. Given that the major lenders and banks are state-owned , this essentially means that the government bears the loss through these institutions (what else can happen anyway??) . Asset management companies are then allowed to bid for any remaining valuable assets of the failed company. The state government has also issued directives to local governments, ensuring they take responsibility for the completion of housing projects for homebuyers.

It's clear that there have been instances of questionable financial maneuvering by individuals behind these real estate companies, involving substantial sums of money being moved out of China through various, potentially illicit means. In Evergrande's case, critics point to dubious ventures, such as an automotive business that never produced cars, as potential vehicles for siphoning money to overseas entities. Additionally, the issuance of USD-denominated bonds—often purchased by shareholders—is another strategy that has been scrutinized.

To address these challenges, the Chinese government has enforced exit bans and placed these individuals under strict supervision. They are often required to return these funds to China, potentially under threat of reduced prison sentences. This sounds not right... but yeah... it is China. And China does not have other means to use like US to extradite fugitives or request the money back even it got all the evidence... exit-ban and blackmailing are the only way China can go...

As for Evergrande, while it's severely distressed, it continues to operate, largely as a 'zombie' company under state guidance, to resolve as much of its outstanding debt and obligations as possible. A full government bailout, in the Western sense, does not appear to be on the table.

Regarding the broader crisis, I feel the situation is largely controllable due to the extensive tools at the disposal of the Chinese government. It's almost certain that the authorities have already devised a comprehensive plan and roadmap to navigate this crisis 1-2 years ago...
Well, you originally put this as your talking point, more of a general rant how everything sucks, and then we should assume that your pain points with immigration are the main point.

I just found https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/28347/umfrage... - which looks like a big jump (e.g. comparing to France https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/461789/umfrag... )

In a perfect world I'd assume this would be fixed slowly as this seems to be a recent trend, but I'm not hopeful.

Also I'm pretty sure there's currently no way to vote in any election that would make any process more digital and faster and less bureaucratic, so while that doesn't help you, you're not missing anything here. (Yes, the FDP and Lindner especially have ran their campaign on some pipe dreams but my personal opinion can be summed up with: lol.)

Fixing this needs a general shift of thinking first, then the stuff that is only relevant to 3% of the population (also maybe in their first few years, so even less?) will follow.
For sure political innovation is a terribly slow process. I don't believe leveraging LLMs will have a direct observable effect on that until civilization <> AI digests for little while longer. Yes we could certainly discuss AI governance (governance by AI)

There are two other areas you would seem to point at. Firstly other technological innovation will have momentous effects, I will not name the buzzwords but you easily know from what by excluding AI/LLM. The second and far more interesting is what I will call political innovation which is orthogonal to technological development, which is totally driven by changes in consciousness. I think that often looks like a stepfunction, because I hardly see the needle moving there outside the generation-to-generation cultural noise.
To be fair, though, that is a prime-ish location, not much different to trying to live in Manhattan or the nice bits of SF.
india is itself infamous for escalating bureaucracy.

AFL++ logs the specific input that causes the crash. In theory at least replaying the input ought to trigger the crash reproducibly. (Sometimes not the case if the program has lots of threads or is event driven or otherwise stochastic).
For non-Londoners, it’s worth pointing out that £8 for a pint is exceptionally high. In most smart pubs in central london the price for a regular pint is approx £5-£6.50. And you can get pints for approx £3 in centrally located Wetherspoons (a common pub chain).

If humans find a technique to catch a mammoth (eg. lure it into a big hole), then they will eat mammoth meat... But next week, when the uneaten mammoth meat has gone bad, they will catch another.

After a few years, you have a massive mammoth graveyard and mammoths are extinct. Doesn't seem at all surprising.
I'm also an Indian guy working in Germany paying "obnoxiously high taxes", and my experience has been quite different.

> The only upgrade is in cleaner air to breathe and safety from crime

- Easy access to parks

- Good public transport (I used to live in Delhi, and it has an okay metro connectivity, but nowhere close to what even smaller German cities have).

- Traffic. I liked living in India, but holy shit, the traffic is the worst.

- It's a whole lot quieter which I really care about. I can hear birds chirping right now very close to Berlin's city center.

- Lots of activities to do if you're young.

- I know people complain about beauraucracy here, but I would be very surprised if India handles incoming migrant cases really smoothly either.

> But the worst part of all this is - the vast majority of Germans think this is all acceptable and okay. If you go to the /r/germany or /r/de subreddits, any thread with genuine complaints will be drowned in responses from native Germans who foolishly believe that Germany is a great country to live in because they either don't have these problems, or they know how to work the system and get their results.

Maybe it wasn't what you said, but how you said it. I'm judging based on your tone in this post. If you're this rude to people, expect them to dismiss your opinion even if you're making valid points.

It's not only rosy for me either.

- Cellphone coverage and mobile data is strangely expensive here for reasons I don't understand.

- Finding appartments is really difficult. But it's a problem that all big cities in Europe face. I wish some of my taxes would go towards making affordable mass housing.

- It's hard to learn a new language as an adult (not really the fault of Germans). You definitely run into German fairly often, websites, talking to cashiers, etc.

P.S. Obnoxiously high is a stretch. Yes, in India your taxes max out at 30% percent (roughly), which isn't nothing but you don't get much value out of it. In Germany, it maxes out at 45% but it pays for good quality education for everyone.
The only nice REPL I have experience with is ipython. And even a few years ago, just turning on autoreload allowed me to do that without selecting anything and copying / pasting, just edit the function in the editor and run it again.

IIRC the docs said there were some edge cases, but I never ran into those.
"Protective" puts are the same thing as long puts. Doesn't matter if you own underlying against.

But they are not just griping and complaining. They are also working, contributing to the culture, and paying taxes. They are a part of the society, and their perspective should not be ignored, disrespected and ridiculed like it is by so many in this thread.
“Beating the west in new IP generation” is highly misleading. China is probably the best at IP theft, and they are certainly beating everyone at that game. Have a look at their EV cars that look like BMWs and Fords. Or their completely stolen Boeing plans. I sure as hell would not get on a fake Chinese plane, that’s for sure.
This is not true. You don't have to learn German if you can find a company that uses English for their day-to-day work. There are a lot of them.

Also, as a professional, in the big cities like Berlin and Hamburg, there is a different immigration centre and they process your paperwork way faster.
>that non enforcement is the only possible approach.
reply

No, it isn't.
They new that all the previous agreements where bogus, but they didn't care.

If it were the other way around and the customers were the ones sanctioned they companies would enforce it.

Just look at the link taxes they partially created in the EU.
I find it incredibly useful for iterating on SQL queries. Write a query, send to the database, examine the result, tweak the query a little, go around again.
I think you hit the nail on the head. "Solo person with a laptop" (to exaggerate) has to jump through all the hoops a "proper company" has to do (and shouldn't) - but a proper company with a low amount of people is not much more work. Because that's what I meant, and it didn't feel overly bureaucratic to me.
Spot on, that's why scheme is and probably always will be very much a niche language. They're not even trying. I wished we could collapse the Cambrian explosion of computer programming languages back into a small subset of what it is today to get fewer but healthier eco-systems. The amount of fragmentation is absolutely insane, and leads to a ton of duplicated effort and wasted resources. There are 100's of computer programming languages in active use and beyond say the top 100 or so there isn't much that isn't already covered multiple times.

But with the widespread connectivity that we have it is very easy to launch a new language and to gain some small level of adoption. Programming languages are like kids: you can launch them in a night but it takes a lifetime of dedication and support to make them successful and given how hard it is to distinguish a small effort going nowhere from a future winner all this does is saddle up outsiders with the cost of maintenance or ultimately a rewrite in some other, hopefully wider supported language.

It would be great if people would just label their languages clearly as 'experimental, not meant for production' and 'long term supported' up front. Some languages, notably, 'Haskell' are successful in spite of actively holding back large scale adoption. This is a much healthier approach. It shows that the language really has merit.
Yes, but they could have kept nuclear until the reactors were end of life to have more time for the transition.

Instead, they frantically closed them and now coal consumption increased. Case in point: Lützerath.
I would wager a guess that no other city in Western Europe grew more than London though.
I don't understand why NY Courts would provide this service to China. Do they get paid for it?
Hot take: some of those names are bad too (e.g. 'polymorphism' is very vague), and OOP would be easier to learn if there was a beginner's vocabulary.

Yes, "dynamic structural typing" is a coherent and logical name when you're familiar with type theory.

But a learner can understand "duck typing" much faster. The jargon can come later.

> 'Monad' may well be an awkward word but it's clearly the mental model of the monad that's the problem. I suspect (as someone who's taught how monads work many times) that part of the problem is that once we learn how monads work, we realise they're unbelievably trivially simple.

I don't think that's necessarily a problem. There are many lines of creative work where you basically need a knack for it to get anywhere. This is true in programming as it is true everywhere else.
I remember when the NatWest Tower (Tower 42) was the tallest building, but yes I think it's sad that the Gherkin is now hidden behind a bunch of boring box shaped skyscrapers.
Of course they are. The company gets passed around like the bong did at college.

> local and provicial governments really dont matter.

Local governments are broke though and their LGFVs owe people a lot of money and can't pay.

The central government I believe is bailing them out - handing out longer term loans to kick the can down the road. It's still a strain on their financial resources.

Didn’t say that either, but that fits with my image of you.
"TCLAP is now a mature, stable, and feature rich package. Please don't let any apparent project inactivity discourage you from using the software!"
True, but I don't think the Kartoffelparty phenomenon will ever fully disappear ;)
True. The Gherkin even just ten years or so ago was in all the b-roll footage whenever there was a documentary or segment about London, alongside Big Ben images.

Now, there are a whole bunch of skyscrapers, few with character (e.g., Shard), and many pretty basic (alongside Bishopsgate).

Overall, London keeps on building in so many of its areas (Kings Cross, City, Nine Elms, Victoria), and it's nice to see. I just hope these won't sit empty...
And yet people in all those buildings are still commuting _inwards_. Otherwise they'd be living somewhere further away and cheaper.
I am surprised this thing counts as new. Finger-style playing is one of common techniques. Guitars with increased range is not something new as well.
>London is actually surprisingly cheaper than many cities in US.

Sure, because average salaries are also much lower than in the US.
Is China’s Data Manipulated, or Flawed? Or Both?
I've been using the Nokia N9 and some of the Jolla Sailfish offspring to this day. The phone part has been very reliable. The rest of the ecosystem is very minimal, almost non-existent, but I can't complain about the basic phone functionality.

With these ARM-style devices that are quite closed down and need their own respective device tree, mass adoption seems a requirement for a company and ecosystem to hit critical mass and be financially viable. I don't think a "Linux phone" is enough of a value proposition to hit that critical mass without any specific features that would appeal to a non-technical crowd and can't easily be replicated by the iOS or Android behemoths.

So personally I think it's not that the open-source/Linux approach can't produce a phone that has good-enough basic functionality, but that there's no clear way to market and sell these phones to a sufficiently large crowd to offset the massive investment into a new platform.

Linux as a whole might be far ahead of iOS and Android as a general computing platform, but a viable device would have to break through the mass production hardware (and marketing!) barrier.
