professionally? or as a hobby. big difference in experience and big difference in employment prospects. i believe you mean, on your own time.

once you have 3-4 years professionally, a degree (from other than a tier 1 college) is not useful. so once you land your first job, and if you can stick it out at least say 2 years, the degree won't matter.

so my advice: actually try to get a job. have you done that or are you asking before even seeing if you can get interviews?

i would outright lie on the job history and put 3 years of freelancing experience. use the github work as the bullet points of what you did. do not list the actual github on your resume. there are of course other ways to go about it, and some will find lying on the resume to be unacceptable. but if you stick to projects you actually did, i don't personally have much of a problem with it.

This has nothing to do with cheap labor. This has everything to do with politicians doubling down on policies that don't work to save face, rather than to admit they were wrong. What is being done now is too little too late. The Swedes who are generally good people, will never do what is now required(mass deportation).

Nordic Biker War? Where 10 people died in all of Scandinavia over a decade time? You think this is at all comparable? 10 people die on a W E E K L Y basis in Sweden, almost exclusively young migrant men(usually 2nd generation).

Indeed, Sweden(=Swedish left wing and liberal politicians) should not have been pursuing this extreme policy of open borders from Africa and the Middle East.

The Swedish people were never in favor of mass immigration, despite the amount of propaganda they were fed on a daily basis by SVT & SR(Swedish state broadcast).
I spent years as a consultant following a basic pattern: a subject matter expert wrote a tool or series of tools in something like excel or access. The tool got popular but didn’t scale. My firm would get brought in to “fix that and then automate all the processes.”

When I was a junior consultant I’d get angry at how kludgy and inelegant the original solution was. After a few projects I’d realized how hard producing software that business users actually use can be.

My response now is “this is amazing, look how far you’ve come. Let me help you go further.”

Yeah it stinks and yeah I often did from scratch rewrites, but the work done proving the idea/system was valuable was why I had a job in the first place and had delivered more value then I could as a developer.

> In my play groups, whenever Scotland Yard comes out, people usually jostle for the opportunity to play Mister X. We have to 'force' people not to be the enemy team.

That is just because people like to be the criminal. We had a board game with robbers and police were one guy had to be the police and everyone else were robbers, and nobody wanted to be the police because that role was boring. Of course in Scotland yard people wanted to be mr X.

But in a pure cooperative game everyone can play the fun role instead of forcing one to play the boring role (or everyone but one playing the boring role as is the case in Scotland yard).

Discovering DietPi was kind of a game changer for me. I had the original Pi 1b that basically sat in a drawer after the first month I got it.

I went over to a friends house last year that had a more modern Pi and they had a PiHole on their home network. It was pretty amazing being able to block ads on my phone near totally and not just in Firefox. New Pi's were completely impossible to find but my friend said give DietPi a shot. The benchmarks on my Pi after installing were complete crap, processes took minutes that took a few seconds on the more modern Pis, but AdGuard Home worked flawlessly.

It sent me down the rabbit hole of Tailscale everywhere, self hosting what I can, getting a NAS, and just opened up to me how simple it is to set up these kind of services now that are accessible everywhere.

I recently was able to get a Pi 4 (one week before the Pi 5 announcement of course) and am looking forward to a setup where I can run services that need hard drive access on my NAS and hosting the quality of life apps on the Pi.

I don't find it particularly hard to believe. Non-native apps easily stick out, but in cases where they're the most popular option their quality is irrelevant.

> life is made a lot harder without them.

That's a bit of a false dichotomy there, eh? If there were no easy way to create subpar cross platform apps, and the app itself were useful enough, surely someone would pick up the slack, no? The easy way out sucks, but it's just too tempting to resist.

The fact that you have to pick the most implausible names

Actually I just picked one as an example.

Calling this "group think" and "totally wrong"

I didn't actually say this was 'totally wrong'

what you don't seem to be considering (and which I've been trying to point out) is the various types of friction you're introducing for your coworkers and future maintainers.

I do and it's not that bad. I didn't even say that I do this, just that it isn't the problem that some people think it is. You are having a meltdown over nothing.

You've made factual mistakes

Nope

I didn't actually say that.

Draculark: A Mudlarking and Vampire Hunting Game in APL
Mudlark on the River Thames foreshore by day, then hunt vampires at Carfax Abbey by night. A new game written in APL on the Commodore SuperPET for the River Thames Game Jam of September 2023.

Why use an interpreted array language from the 1960s on a vintage Commodore computer? Because APL is fun and easy to learn, and the language’s unique character set can be used to represent mudlarking treasures. Two APL workspaces are used, one for the mudlarking section and another for the vampire hunting section.
I find the format of a book a bit puzzling for what seems to be a mixture of technical documentation, introductory material, and educational material, all in one place. What exactly is the audience of this book? Why is it not just part of Deno docs? Why does it seems torn between multiple objectives? Surely this will just become outdated as Deno changes over time, which it will as a fairly new project.
I needed to test whether an app could decompress inputs over 2GB properly. I was able to create a zip file that was about 45k to do it. I think the record is something like 5k, but 50k fits just fine in a repository.

Modern physics is too complex and expensive at the cutting edge to do the entire "hypothesis, experiment, result" process in one paper. It's very normal for support for a hypothesis to build up through theoretical physics papers over many years, leading to sufficient funding at a facility capable of testing the hypothesis.

The Higgs Boson is a great example of this, theorized 40 years before it could finally be discovered at the LHC, a machine which wouldn't have been possible at all with the technology of the time when the Higgs boson was proposed as the computing capability to digest the Petabytes of data generated simply did not exist.

Plus, with these things there's a bit of a chicken and egg issue where part of the impetus for building these expensive machines is to test theories which have been gaining support, so if those theories weren't being shared, there's no way to really say if the machines to test them could even exist.

Neutrinos, time crystals and gravitational waves are other notable examples of things where it would not be practical to expect theoreticians to wait the decade(s) for technology to catch up before presenting their theories.
>Surely a lot of the dangerous testing could be replaced with simulation

During the cold war, starting in the 1960s, weren't there dozens of fission reactor satellites launched into orbit? I don't mean spontaneous decay devices like RTGs, I mean fission reactors. Primarily, but not exclusively Soviet.

I bring this up because every discussion I see of the risks of nuclear power in space seems to presume an alternate historical record where political opposition prevented it from becoming a reality. Where uncontrolled deorbiting of reactors or disintegration in orbit were hypothetical and unacceptable failures.

I don't know, were we always at war with Eurasia or was it Eastasia? Which history is the disinformation?
> D) people who add value get hired.

So this isn't actually true. People who make a good impression, that "connect" with the interviewer in the first 30 seconds, get hired. I mean, for dev work you do have to perform to some baseline in any coding exercise, but the real bar to clear is that first 30 seconds. I'm not just being dramatic. This has been studied to death. Your resume might play a part in being impressive in that first 30 seconds. If the interviewer has even looked at it. So you want your resume to make that intro, but then it's up to you in the opening seconds.

As a first time getting a dev job, it's impossible for the employer to know if you will add value. Even as a senior hire, this isn't really knowable.

Just look around at your coworkers. The value add part is random.
So, I'm just wondering, looking at the upset that’s been caused here by this article, what odd conspiracy niche exists where not only are these statements about the fates of the signers of the Declaration of Independence false, but they are terrible to utter and, if true, would be world-shattering?

It seems quite an odd case to make that the effort which culminated in the declaration of independence came at no cost, and no suffering for those whose enterprise it was. And it seems a perverse ideology to want to deny or downplay that cost and suffering.

> Of course gaussian splatting at this point is useful for “rotate around a scanned object” use case; it is not useful for “in games” or many other cases. We don’t know how to re-light them, or how to animate them well, etc. etc. Yet.

I know almost for certain that animating them would be a serious challenge, but for relighting, I can more easily imagine some functions that filter some splats based on some kind of spatial and directional querying and applying multipliers for some of their values, however I'm practically daydreaming at this point.
> these countries have not invited 1 million+ people from a dramatically different(read: backwards) cultures

Sweden's had quite the spread from backwards nations to reach that 1 million (2010 - 2020 inclusive):

* Poland 47,940

* Somalia 46,044

* Germany 26,945

* Finland 26,521

* Denmark 21,792

* United Kingdom 21,285

* Norway 21,265

* United States 19,378

etc. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Sweden#Contempo... )

With the largest number, 177,154 from Syria - more wartorn and shredded by decades of totalitarian dictatorship than intrinsically 'backwards'.

> the plus sign was a contraction of Latin "at" (ampersand is another way in which Latin "at" made it into modern typesetting)

An ampersand is et [and], not at [but]. There are still current forms of the symbol that are transparently just a T attached to an E.

I was about to ask how the plus sign could possibly be related to the word "but", but I'm guessing you meant that it derives from et too?
I would disagree here, I think it's different for several reasons:

- The volume and velocity of data and API requests needed for X is much larger than scraping the occasional news article. You'd need a huge number of accounts to make it work.

- X has the technology to reliably detect such accounts unless they are incredibly well "hidden" by e.g. crowsourcing requests through regular accounts with normal browsing behavior

- X has the incentive to reliably detect such accounts as it has shown in the past by shutting off data access. It seems to care much more about this than most news websites

I believe the only reason things like Nitter still work is that it's not yet big enough for X to care about and invest resources into guarding against it, especially with all the other stuff going on at X right now. But it's only a matter of time before that changes.

Again, I don’t know how I can make this clearer: macOS with a sealed system volume is plenty capable of keeping an app from running, ever. That Apple doesn’t enforce it is a concession to the history of the platform. It’s very unlikely they allow exemptions to notarizing on iOS, and the DMA doesn’t require it. DMA only requires that Apple allow apps to be distributed outside their App Store.
The whole time I read this article I kept thinking there was some write it in Java and compile to JS angle that wasn't being mentioned. GWT.
FWIW, as the application developer, it increases fragmentation, as more of the code in your app is determined by what version of the OS the user is running. If Apple were developing and debugging everyone's apps, that argument would make sense (but, of course, they are not). If you truly want to minimize costs for development and debugging by minimizing fragmentation you want to provide the most uniform and stable interface as possible for the developer and let the app then operate as identically as possible across every device it will ever work on, not just today but into the future.
