They're far worse than a distraction, they enable everything from new forms of bullying to viewing of gore and porn.

Then there's the issue of kids having a high-value gadget that's easily damaged and at risk of theft in schools that never managed to solve old-fashioned bullying let alone whatever the kids get up to on social media these days.

If kids, or, anyone under-18 really, really needs a phone make calls, something like the original Nokia 3110 would be much more suitable than any smartphone.

Not necessarily. I was a web developer for 24 years, then my company moved me into an integration role (it opened up at the same time a website project I had been working on closed down) - I haven’t touched anything web development related in a year or so now and have been doing straight Java, Python, Apache nifi, AWS, etc system integration programming. I’ve found that I enjoy and could continue doing this for years to come. But, I also could move back to web development pretty easily.

Rails has been a full stack framework since the start, with the JS component changing frequently over the decades, but with template helpers that generate JS being a fundamental component since the beginning.
Some companies are bound to have wages below market average, that is unavoidable under all circumstances, collective agreement or not.

Specifics such as salary, overtime, vacation etc are more tangible and with more direct impact on working conditions. But striking for a specific type of agreement, which ties conditions in one workplace to a broader context are a different matter. That is a more strategic play which is about who sets the rules and who has the power.
Interesting, pretty. A lot of promise.

And remember “we” is often you, the maintainers of the packages you rely on, the maintainers of the packages that they rely on, the maintainers of the packages that THEY rely on… All need to have lock-step agreement about what a “breaking” change is, and all need to have communicated it clearly.

The result though is the same, semantic versioning or no: If something changed you must retest. This is why all that’s needed is a “do I need to retest?” flag. Major/minor/patch is irrelevant if you need to keep things working.

Not true. While it's harder, you can stack shift. I've done Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, and JavaScript/React and treated them as interchangeable. I might be rejected in some resume screens here and there but once talking I make it clear I'm comfortable with the target tech stack and it has never been an issue.

Have you ever delivered a Python project (AI or not) with a multi-page GUI, multiple end-users, and dynamic graphics? Well, we failed completely with Streamlit. Gradio is even more limited for this.

Streamlit and even more so Gradio are simple tools. They won't make the mark for such projects. They lack so many things:
- not really multi-user
- event loop is inefficient and creates side effects
- no support for large data in graphics
- difficult/impossible to call asynchronous functions (u get stuck in the GUI while waiting for the job to complete)
- fixed layout / no real way to customize the look&feel
- etc.

Don't get me wrong: Streamlit has benefits and was actually the first package to offer Python devs a low-code approach for building GUIs (for non-GUI specialists).
The N95 is the go to example of why Nokia went wrong. The chip in it could have supported an iOS type operating system, or even “just” a superficial take on the user interface, but they didn’t even want to do anti aliased font rendering, let alone leverage the 3D acceleration it had properly. Some games on it ran pretty well though.

Basically a total failure of vision regarding how to make the most of the hardware for the benefit of the user.

This whole thing reminds me a bit of playing Fallout 4.

There will be good data, the pre-AI enshitification data. The stuff from before the war.

And then... the data after. Tainted by the entropy, and lack of utility of AI.

Alas, this means in some senses, human progress will slow and stop in the tech field if we aren't careful and preserve ways to create pre-AI data. But the cost of it is so high in comparison to post... I'm not sold it will be worth it.

There's also "more to the story" where the plaintiff appears to have been on the board of the foreign company as well. This almost seems like a case where they are trying to take an extremely complex nuanced tax case, strip away all the "color", and try that component.

Drug trials may be expected to be somewhat reproducible.

What I don't get is how it can even be called research if it cannot be expected to be reproducible at all!

GPT is a closed source/weights, proprietary product that changes every couple of weeks or so. How can you expect a prompt to do the same for a reasonable length of time for the research to be even rudimentarily reproducible? And if it's not reproducible, what is it actually worth? I don't think much. Could as well have been a fault in the research setup or a fake.
Probably not.

Or I personally would use them and not worry about it.

Depends on the position. If I'm hiring you on contract for a project with a specific stack, I'm going to want stack experts. If I'm hiring you full time into a salaried position on a product, I don't care if you know the stack or not, just that you have sufficiently adjacent experience that I could see a cross-train happening in a reasonable amount of time.

That assumes they do so in a really stupid and straightforward way. LLMs already exist to "AI-wash" copyrighted material in ways that technically don't violate copyright. I'm pretty sure someone will find a way to create a dodgy shell company around a foreign B2B service that reycles this data for them in a way that is technically legal to use.

In the spirit of your comment, there's nothing wrong with spinning your skills to fit the job req. If they ask for 5 years of Golang and you've only worked on it for 2 years, but you have 10 other years of programming - I'd just tell them you know Golang and have 10 years experience programming. No real harm in them making a technically incorrect assumption.

The real interview will be with the tech staff, not the HR bot. Let them make the decision to hire there.

From my reading, there is a bit more nuance here.

1. The "investor" was actively involved in the company for some time, so there is an argument that the profits of the company can pass through as personal income, like a LLC or S-corp. The short-term loans (60 days) at high interest rates (12%) that just sat in a bank is definitely sus.

2. The trump tax cuts had a provision to bring these profits home. Previously, if you received profits off-shore, and kept them off-shore, you would not be taxed until you reshored them. The main target here in was the bigger corps, who, according to NPR, have complied
The fact that it is located in The Hague doesn't make the ICC "the Netherlands" any more than a drug cartel based in Miami is "the United States".

It's not an entity of the Netherlands government in any respect.

As far as the actual country of Netherlands goes, the United States and that country have a standard extradition treaty, as the US does with most countries that have a reasonable court system that protects the rights of the accused.

The US views the ICC as an illegitimate kangaroo court that does not meet the minimum standards for such protection, and thus does not recognize it any more than it would recognize, say, a terrorist-run "Islamic court". If such "courts" grab US citizens and put them "on trial", then, yeah, they shouldn't be surprised when US Navy SEALs coming crashing through their windows. That wouldn't make it an "invasion" of the country where the "court" was located, but something more akin to a hostage rescue mission.

Are there any other phrases that you know with a similar meaning? I moved to NL a bit over a year ago and joined the local tafeltennis club. Often the other members will yell “Sneller!” At me because I play like a disabled oma. In this case, I know they are telling me to go faster, but I wonder if there are other phrases that are being tossed around that I’m missing out on? “Gas erop” sounds familiar. For context, my Dutch is between an A2 and B1.
"Roman men were usually known by their praenomina to members of their family and household, clientes and close friends; but outside of this circle, they might be called by their nomen, cognomen, or any combination of praenomen, nomen, and cognomen that was sufficient to distinguish them from other men with similar names."

Yes, and remember that data is commonly widely shared. Because, its mostly about long dead people?

The real breach is for recently deceased people (here the time span varies greatly, but dead for ~100 years is definitely enough if you ask me) and for living people. Actually in Sweden the death info is publically available generally right away, more or less. You can buy USB sticks with ~all deaths up until very recently.

If there are entire neighborhoods in Bucharest and Brasov, then name them. I suspect that this is complete hyperbole, because when I think of the worst and most shunned neighbourhood in Cluj – Pata Rât where the Roma population was gathered to dwell on a rubbish dump – it isn’t a dangerous, no-go area by USA or South American standards at all. I and fellow cyclists have often passed through Pata Rât at night when returning from cycling trips in the surrounding mountains, felt no danger when stopping to chat with some kids in the street curious about the bike, and the real danger is merely the fumes of burning plastic. Quite a few tourists and Erasmus students also go to get a look at that neighbourbood.

I keep hearing that Flutter is bad because it “tries to render the entire UI itself”. This argument sounds good — at least on paper — because all the previous attempts at doing that failed miserably.

I have been a professional programmer for 44 years and have NEVER had "job market anxiety". Why? Because I sincerely believe that there is zero correlation between the job market and my ability to find work.

I don't pay attention to what anyone says about the economy, the market, or anything else macro, especially on the internet. And I have gone through times that were much much worse than now.

I never worried about losing any job because I was certain I could find another. The longest I've ever been out of work was for a few weeks.

A few tips:

- Have x months expenses in the bank. Take the pressure off.
- Have multiple resumes ready to go, programmer, analyst, sys admin, manager, even data entry.
- Stay in touch with your network. Not to get a job. Just to stay in touch.
- Keep your skills fresh. Always have a side project.
- Remember we're not in energy, education, or manufacturing. Their cycles are killers. Our in tech are not. Everyone else depends on us.
- Fuck anxiety. We build stuff out of nothing. We're stronger than bad news.

The elephant in the room seems to be that maybe children perform much better in normal social environments, with pen and paper and with their peers etc, than with electronic gizmotry that is only ever a pale emulation of the real world.

How do you think very wealthy people who subsist on rollover loans, secured against their assets, should be taxed?

For example, an on-paper billionaire whose wealth is stock ... gets a loan, secured against that stock (which they never sell). When the loan is due repayment, they roll it over with more debt and go again. Works fine when the loan is a small enough proportion of their wealth that rolling over is no issue. Should they simply never pay income tax?

They've received money, but they haven't sold.
