Depends. For example, let’s assume you have a contractor which is 100% working for you in a European country.

After a while you realize, that you want to hire sales people to go after local markets. Local companies like contracts with local entities.

So you now create a local entity to hire your sales people, and do your contracts. Your contractor also will be employed by the new entity.

Boom: Suddenly the government wants to have social contributions for the past X years, because they argue that the contractor was faux-contracting and should have been employed.

This is the risk these employer of record services cover for you.

Does anyone know what would be a good job for me?
Howdy!

I hate to use this card, but I'm autistic and I'm struggling to think of what kinds of jobs I could apply for. So far all the jobs I've had have just kind of fallen into my lap before I knew I even needed the job.

For the past several years I've been doing freelance carpentry, remodeling, and general handyman stuff. Work was booming for a while, but died out when lumber prices skyrocketed. I haven't had any jobs in months except for little oddball stuff family has me do out of pity (installing a door 2 weeks ago is the highlight of the entire winter season). I really need to find a job if I don't want to end up homeless, but I don't want to "just get a job" and be a mindless laborer.

Before the carpentry stuff, I was a project manager, 3D CAD guy, and SysAdmin at a small industrial metal fabrication shop. I handled over $1M in (gross) sales one year, and I handled the company's 2 highest-sales customers. I was single-handedly responsible for making the company compliant with legal regulations: I wrote the employee handbook, created the SDS books, arranged for annual maintenance on fire extinguishers, etc. I also standardized the company's aesthetic, color palette, document templates, fonts, and all sorts of other "public image" type stuff. I developed an application (in Excel) to estimate the prices of jobs, and they still use it today to price every job. I also re-designed the entire manufacturing process for a particular JIT machine for the automotive industry and cut the time-to-manufacture down by over 50%.

I'm into tech as a hobby, and I've been going to school for InfoSec just for the free financial aid money (because I need money since I'm out of work). I just generally like to tinker and hack on things. I've been into Linux since my early teens, and I've recently gotten into Emacs. I've been script-kiddying with programming since my early teens too, but in the past year or so I've been putting a lot of effort into learning more in the way of programming my own stuff. I've been learning C and Emacs Lisp, and in school I'm taking a python class. I also started building a data center in my bedroom (only 1 rack server so far). Sometime soon I plan on learning more about microelectronics and hardware programming.

I don't have any certifications or degrees. I have massive gaps in employment because I've tried to do so many things on my own.

Does anyone have an idea of a job that would be a good fit for me? I really like to hack, tinker, and take on projects that require me to think a lot and come up with creative solutions. I'm not so good at grinding out tasks that just need to be done. I tend to try to find ways to avoid doing a lot of repetitive nonsense work, which means I usually try to find ways to automate it or negate the need for it. That's what caused so much stress at my project manager job. They expected me to "just get the work done", instead of working on ways to make the work unnecessary. I want to improve things, not just keep mindlessly churning stuff out.

You can't decide the fact - if you could, it wouldn't be a fact. Or do you mean something else here?

If you have the right tools. Windows is just fine for development.

Visual Studio is widely considered one of the best IDEs out there today.

Personally, I use Linux for my work on Linux, what IDE varies depending on my work. JetBrains, VSCode, neovim. But I've used other eco-systems.

I still miss Genera. That thing was amazing.
Why would you need to have "faith" in an open source product? You can always get an older copy or build it yourself, or it could be forked by the community if it's popular enough and the original gets completely abandoned.

For that matter, why does an open source product need to make money in the first place?
So is IKEA.
It's not just tree-sitter that makes zed feel snappy.

If you're using a reasonably fast language-server, which rust-analyzer apparently is (I didn't know this using vscode), the autocomplete & intentions feel instantaneous.

I think the team has learned a lot from previous editor implementations (they were the core team of atom that was notoriously slow), and so they've had an opportunity to do a lot of stuff right.

FWIW they also are the team that originally wrote tree-sitter.

The quickness feels more like it's in the core of the editor. I was shocked how much it impacted the editing experience when I tried it in early beta.

I personally never understood why Clojure stack traces alienate people.

I worked on python, ruby, Javascript and Perl before Clojure and I seem to recall they had stack traces too. Am I misremembering?

The Clojure stack traces are certainly longer. Which is because it’s a hosted language - the Java stack trace plus the Clojure stuff. I suppose the extreme indirection in Java might be part of the problem, where code passes through so many intermediate classes.
How long before generating deep fakes is trivial? This seems many steps closer.
I am just wondered, how many lines of codes people writes every day, that code-editor speed is so important?
Toyota's battery consumption is pretty high all else considered, thanks to Prius, Rav4 Prime, etc. etc. etc. No pure EV, but plenty of opportunities to establish a relationship with Panasonic.

In any case, my point remains clear. There's no kg/watt-hr advantage that Tesla holds here. Panasonic is the owner of the chemistry. Its Panasonic that's key to this relationship.

And if not Panasonic, then CATL, the Chinese company Tesla has partnered with for Gigafactory Shanghai. In both cases, Tesla does NOT own the chemistry. That's a huge deal to anyone trying to pretend that "Tesla is an energy company" or other such claims.

----------

The energy companies are Panasonic and CATL in this relationship. These are the companies people should be focusing on.

Moving into Utility scale, the bulk of the manufacturing problem is once again, CATL (for pushing LiFePo4 chemistry), or Panasonic (for the other Li-ion chemistry Tesla uses).

EDIT: It does seem like LiFePo4 is the push for utility-scale, while the Panasonic one looks increasingly obsolete in comparison. But there are very high tariffs on CATL cells for USA's use at least. I do believe there are some non-Chinese LiFePo4 producers selling in the USA's market.

EDIT: But its _these_ issues that are currently plaguing the utility market today. I'm not really sure if Tesla is on top of its utility game. Or if the Panasonic relationship is even relevant (especially due to the current trend of LiFePo4 vs other Li-ion chemistries).
That's interesting because the design of the Spectrum itself was all black with a splash of colour in the form of a rainbow stripe!

It's very similar to Polaroid's colouring. I always thought it looked great.
They won. They won a lot. She graduated, then her hamstrings tore a couple of good sized chunks out of her pelvis. Doctors agree, it was one weird-ass injury (weird ass-injury). Surgery was only somewhat successful, and in retrospect doctors probably didn't fully understand the nature of her problem. It's now been about 6 years and as many surgeries and she's still dealing with complications. She's simultaneously surprisingly capable and surprisingly crippled. She can hike and bike, but cannot run or sit. Her goal at this point is simply to be able to sit through a lecture without pain.

You're right, this is pretty atypical for runners in general, but unfortunately not for my high school team. Last I'd heard about 50% had been through at least one round of surgery in college, though my sister's definitely one of the worst for wear.
Those that "sort by price ascending" and click the first one, on the fan but not on the filters. DRM makes being the cheapest a viable business model, and people LOVE picking the cheapest over the best. You'll also see this in action, without DRM, whenever you buy a razor. The handles are free. But the blades will get you.
To use them you’d need to already have a copilot subscription, and the GPT-4 thing apparently requires you to deliberately invoke a command. I’d say it’s pretty safe by default.

I'm the creator of the original movie this movie took inspiration from (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khWXdkryBE4).

Yay, the Creative Common license was actually useful! I wish the authors had actually used the same hedgehog character and audio melody.
It's peculiar that "developer productivity" is even a term. It doesn't have a generally-agreed-upon definition. I don't think a definition is even possible.

So, we keep trying to come up with objective measures of a term that is impossible to objectively measure. Isn't that weird?

Why not "developer happiness", or, if that's too hippy-dippy for the suits, "developer satisfaction"? Surely we can reason that, all other things being equal, happier developers are more productive.

Then, surveys like this one make perfect sense. "Hey, how satisfied are you with the tools / processes / whathaveyou at your employer?" That's a valid question, and collecting a pile of answers does start to yield some useful insights into what works and what doesn't.

But no, we're trying to use "developer productivity" instead, as though we're all simple machines that provide value by converting coffee into code, and the winning business is the one that is able to extract the most SLOC out of the cheapest and most miniscule quantity of coffee.
Looking forward to future articles such of "Breaking Free from DRM: Hacking Air."
It is for exactly that reason (the expectation that one can or should take care of themself) that people use this word. They believe it's not only inoffensive and compassionate, but actually a way to solve the problem through activism: shift readers' perception of blame from away from individuals and private solutions, and demand more government bureaucracy that can placate everyone's desire to "do something about it."
There's a recursion issue somewhere.

> residential care was replaced with "community care" where all those patients be helped to go flatting the community, and have their condition treated so well that there was no need for residential care facilities.

I think you posted this in good faith but reads like a fairy tale. By definition, folks who need long-term inpatient care aren't going to be sufficiently treated by outpatient programs.

My spouse needs long-term, inpatient care. Not permanent care but the adjustments she needs aren't going to take place over 72 hours or 7 days. They're going to take months.

She didn't get the needed months of treatment. She got decades of the fairy tale. She's homeless now and likely will be until it kills her.
It literally wasn’t worth it to return? I might have a biased view of this site but I thought we were mostly engineers who understood how complicated a “simple” change could be. Logistics for physical goods is hard enough for coordinating moving items from a factory to a front which is order -> chaos.
Moving from a war front back to storage is going from chaos -> order and significantly harder.

Either way, still not trillions to my original point

A naval blockade is an act of war. A naval blockade in international shipping lanes is an act of war against every country that uses those seas! There is no rhetoric that rescues the Houthis from the irony of your argument.

I recommend that you do some additional reading about the Houthis. Rasha Al Aqueedi and Nadwa Dawsari are good starting points. I think you're unlikely to find a credible reported account of Ansar Allah that is sympathetic to them.
The piece that is incoherent is the self plagiarism. If it were just the reasonable bit you mention then there'd be no point in calling it out :)

Utilities and energy developers buy solutions, not parts. Megapack + Autobidder is turnkey. Also, cost sensitive buyers are not a great cohort to market to; market to folks with capital to spend and who understand the value prop. Let someone else chase garbage margins. Price is what you pay, value is what you get.

Just because two things "feed people" doesn't mean they are equally efficient and have equal justification, especially in the face of resource scarcity or shared finite resources.

In the same way that taking a private jet and walking somewhere both "move people".
This is great – thanks for explaining it all, Mike!

In the research paper, the authors compare GS3D to NeRFs, but the scenes train more quickly (perhaps 30 minutes for a scene), and render in real-time. So it's really been a huge upgrade from NeRFs and photogrammetry.

I think there's a lot of potential to use GS3D for AR/VR avatars, and also stable diffusion-type scene generation, (where a more-complete scene is generated from one or two photos, or solely imagined by AI).

Excited to see where it goes!
Nobody is telling you not to discuss your feelings, but there's a difference between taking adult responsibility by saying something like:

"I was not emotionally equipped to watch Mr. Rogers; I had a very hard time dealing with the feelings that arose when I watched that show".

And shifting the responsibility to him, by implying that he was a creep of a person.
> Also. Seems like you might be playing at language games some.

See the distinction between murder and manslaughter (is it me who is playing language games?).

> Really, if we pick everything apart enough, nothing means anything.

Which seems counterintuitive to me, since science's ability and willingness to dig ever deeper (even years after any success has been achieved) is what sets it apart from most other disciplines. What's funny is that the very same methodology applied to the metaphysical realm can cause opinions on whether that is a good idea to flip, as is happening here and is getting me into trouble.
Doesn't the filter fill up well before 12 months?

Looks like it is 3 stages ("primary", "high-efficiency", and "activated carbon"). https://www.mi.com/global/product/xiaomi-smart-air-purifier-...

I keep a low-dust apartment, and my 2 Levoit air purifier HEPA filters get changed every 3 months (sooner, if there was an unusual incident). The white of the HEPA material is sometimes visibly gray after 3 months, even though I vacuum the first stage surface every 1-3 weeks.

I have a large directory uses affiliate links. I’ve been running it for 1 year now and one of the biggest issues is affiliates changing their links. I was planning on building a basic link checker. I already have a script that is scraping and testing demo urls and gathering screenshots so it would make sense to just extend that. Bernard seems like what I need here but I’m not sure it fits neatly into my stack and I don’t think I would pay for it. If I didn’t already have the script and I was using Wordpress or some no code tool to build the directory then I feel I’d be more likely to use this service
I mostly agree, though I find Allegro and LispWorks severely lacking in areas too. The companies themselves don't seem to care much about their IDEs. Certainly not in the way JetBrains cares about IntelliJ.

Tucked away in the McCLIM project is Clouseau, which you can quickload and use as a normal user: https://codeberg.org/McCLIM/McCLIM/src/branch/master/Apps/Cl... One small cool thing it does is if you inspect a complex number it will also draw a little x-y graph with its vector representation. (Though trying it out again just now it's overlapping with the text... maybe I should file a bug, but I've only now just learned they moved off github, and I'm not going to make a codeberg account. Friction wins this round.) It does take a while to first compile and load all the dependencies, especially 3bz, another weakness of at least our free Lisps; AFAIK there's still no equivalent of make -j for compiling systems.

I'm a happy vim user (though there is some jank with slimv, admittedly, but it's mostly prevalent around multiple thread situations) and setup the command ,ci to call my own clouseau-inspect function; it just inspects a symbol with clouseau instead of slimv's inspector. Also have a janky watch/unwatch pair of functions that just refreshes the inspector every second. (https://github.com/Jach/dots/blob/master/.sbclrc#L113 if curious, some other junk in .swank.lisp and .vimrc too, and there's https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale/issues/4061 to call sblint on your project...)

But more graphical tools like this are what I hope to one day see more of and are how the free Lisps can close the gap in this area with the commercial Lisps. I believe there's not much Allegro can do that poking around SBCL can't do, but for many things it's just nicer to have a GUI. Want to explore all the symbols and values in a package? Easy enough to script that, but not as nice as just having a table of symbols, and even nicer if you can set watches on some of them, or even set conditional breakpoints on value changes. None of the tools need to be tightly integrated with a single IDE either, because all the stuff necessary to debug Lisp is in the running Lisp itself. It's just that the GUI situation continues to suck.

LSP has gotten more popular with other languages and editors, sometimes I wonder if the acronym was made as an inside joke because it's basically how Lisp + Slime/Swank have worked...
Sadly it is 2024 now. Very few vehicles qualify for the tax credit now. The ones that do qualify tend to be the high end models that are hard to keep under the price cap—you need to special order the no-options model and hope there aren’t too many dealer fees. Good news for Chevy is that the Bolt qualifies. Bad news is that they stopped making it and no other Chevy made the cut.
Nothing offhand, but basically it can't know what's on the server without reading it all, and if it can't do that locally, it'll have to do it remotely. At that point, might as well re-upload the whole thing.

Its front page hints at this, but there must be details somewhere.
Someone thought adding DRM to an air purifier was a Top Priority, and got it implemented. IMO any form of planned obsolescence is a subset of enshittification, not just Doctorow's step-by-step lock-in tactics.
Every Frame A Painting asserted a few years ago that western action movies were suffering greatly for a specific change in how the cut the hits altogether. It’s worth watching in full, or skip to 5 minutes in:

https://vimeo.com/113439313

> “By contrast, American editing doesn’t show the hit at all.”

So it’s plausible that audiences desire more movies like John Wick, where actors take the hits, where it feels like actual action occurred — while the ‘fake it’ capabilities have advanced so far that they create all the tension without any if the resolution that makes it worthwhile.
I'm assuming that chatgpt agrees with you, personally I'm avoiding using their software until they figure out a better relationship with content creators / artists than they have right now.
