€87k in Luxembourg seems much lower, on a PPP basis, than €50k in Bangalore. Hard to believe this job is leveled the same. You wouldn't make this move for the annual saving in the short term, unless the company is going to pay for your housing.

However, this new job could be a springboard for "permanent" migration to the EU or the US - is that a goal for you?

Or, if moving isn't a long-term goal, do you think that the Luxembourg stint would serve you well upon your return to India?

They claim the ability to screen for the top 1% of candidates. Well, that's easy: the top candidates are the ones who display a shred of dignity by bailing when they hear they're going to be interviewed by Micro1.ai.

It's probably expected that the cost goes down with time. Also, what VC money? Copilot is Microsoft.
Email can work, but nowadays tweeting works even better.

Despite OP's understandable frustration, try to keep it polite and factual, and invite a response.
What's the business model, I wonder? The reason npm registry didn't evolve much is that it is expensive to give away cloud services and eventually got sold to Microsoft, who presumably assessed that adding features wouldn't drive much extra revenue. How many people publish private packages to npmjs.com how much does it cost to host and serve the ever growing collection, especially as they're pretty lenient about people serving large binaries from it?

The Java world got burned by this a few years ago when JFrog shut down Bintray, which had been the second largest open source package repository after Maven Central. A ton of stuff had to be republished, a ton of build configs updated. Now Maven Central is hopefully Too Big To Fail and Sonatype is a sustainable independent business, partly due to the widespread practice of companies buying its Nexus product to mirror Central internally, something I haven't seen so much of in the JS space, and partly because the Java ecosystem doesn't tend to host giant binaries off it. But still.

Gotta admit, I'd like to see a more decentralized approach become popular here. There's no specific reason packages always have to be hosted in one or two central registries.
I mean, that sounds a bit stressful for her, but eminently possible. Can't say I'd have liked the idea when I was 14, but I was capable of it.
It's easy to make a strong argument when it's also woefully incomplete. :P

If all advertising were just abstract economic information that a service or product existed with certain features at a certain price-point, then we're left with a whole bunch of inexplicable mysteries, including-but-not-limited-to:

* Why would there be some expensive messages that lack any of that economic information, such as those which show a succession of nice things (that aren't being sold) closing with a brand-name the viewer is already aware of?

* Why would senders deliberately seek to ensure that the same person sees the same repeated message multiple times, even after they declined to purchase the first time and their situation wouldn't have changed?

* Why would any info-packets be crafted to make previously-neutral viewers experience fresh fear and dissatisfaction?

* Why would someone spend unnecessary money on funny mascots or catchy music?

* Why would (where not illegal) the product have a time-limited discount that wasn't actually time limited nor discounted?

For your benefit the following text was handwritten:

All the words you saw previously were written with my permission and vetted by me. I took pains to make sure that every ethical concept was good. And I told you that I was using AI. I encourage you to read the principles and benefit from them.

But if that's not good enough for you, I invite you to go kick rocks. It's your choice and your life.

Personally I judge writing on its own merits, or I am making the genetic fallacy.

If I cannot critically analyze text regardless of source, I will lose opportunities to learn and benefit from knowledge. We are entering a time where both good and bad text will be written by AI. We will need to be able to know the difference.

Good luck and have a good day.
Choose to stop then? I mean social media that is - but seriously. Choose to say, “I’m not driven by my pleasure sensors” and do something hard for the sake of doing it - not for glory, not for nothing. Nihilism and predestination lead to some orettt dark places.

Sometimes I feel like a lot of the folks I hear advocating against free will (which is really a stance against choice and even our own consciousness at its core) have never had to make any real “no-shit” choices in their life with serious consequences. I don’t mean to sound like an ass, but I both pity and envy these folks. Obviously you don’t have control over a lot of things, but the idea that this is all on rails screams “I’ve never had to do anything that had any real risk to it.”

> where I could be one of those people to bring up quotes and concepts, citing back to the original source, with freakish accuracy

If you cannot retrieve a few timeless (to you or in general) quotes/concepts/dialogues and a few trending ones (trending in big or small circles) - there is some amount of info/tasks overload going on.

Also I think we find people who can "bring up quotes and concepts with freakish accuracy" cool for some reasons.

I agree with you, maybe books are not the ideal format for acquiring knowledge.

I read a lot of fiction books, mainly classics for pleasure. And what I found unique is that only in books I have access to the interior monologue of the characters, their thoughts, and on some occasions, direct access to their "stream of consciousness".

I love it, and I discovered that some characters (but in reality it's the authors) have a similar process of thought, and some others do not, and notice and sense things differently ...
> With advances in computing power and unsupervised machine learning, correlating a person with the person's surroundings is now largely or fully automated – what used to take forensic experts weeks, months or years to hunt down a person by poring over indirect clues in photographs or CCTV camera footage, is now almost instantenous.

I don't know of any system capable of doing what you describe. But if such a system existed it could just use publicly available videos from Facebook and Instagram. It wouldn't need its own social media platform to feed it data.
Two weeks ago that website said that they are moving their office and lab from one US state to another:

http://web.archive.org/web/20240406204554/https://www.greena...

The website was/is served by an ip address that appears to be a home or office internet connection from a large cableTV ISP in the city they are moving away from. Out of date Apache httpd.

Perhaps whatever server, old PC or raspberry pi they use to serve the website is current in the back of a moving truck.

Perhaps they have not got internet installed to their new office yet. Perhaps the internet at their new office is CGNAT so they can't directly host a webserver on it.

FWIW most of the top charting music of the 90s, 80s and so on were also "worse" and have mostly been forgotten. Few songs remain popular or regain popularity. A lot of chart hits are really just springboarding off "you had to be there" cultural moments or experiences or simply a general "vibe" that are fleeting and trivial enough not to stick around even in nostalgia.

As an extreme example, I'd argue the popularity of David Hasselhoff's I've been looking for freedom in Germany is almost entirely a result of "retconning" (if not fabricating) its supposed popularity at the time of its original release. It would have probably been forgotten entirely if it hadn't been rediscovered "ironically" in the context of ridiculous claims about its influence on the fall of the Berlin Wall. Heck, I remember owning a casette of the album as a kid only because "it's the guy from Knight Rider". For adult women his claim to fame was co-starring alongside Pamela Anderson in Baywatch as one of the few men regularly appearing bare-chested on daytime television - I'd say his musical talents played a very small role in his original popularity and it's telling nobody remembers any other songs than the one he performed on a TV show. He was never considered good, he was just a familiar face (and body) and made a catchy tune.
Nowadays, I'm re-reading books that left a mark on me.

It's not uncommon to discover that some clever ideas I thought I came up with have been, in fact, read in a book. Humbling.

The thing is, you cannot get to that point by following productivity hacks. It's true that most divulgation books can we summarized in 2 pages. But the way good authors present the same idea again and again, through different examples and viewpoints is what remains in your brain.
My guess is it's also down to the proliferation of cross-platform UX toolkits that allow for A/B testing of every single component. Making a cool UX thing that requires native OS features would go against that philosophy. And, as you say, it's not a revenue driver so nobody will be fighting for it.

Wouldn’t total cost of ownership be a better measure?

Maintenance, repair, insurance, fuel, residual value.

I would think Tesla’s lower residual value from price declines would result in a poorer(possibly much poorer) showing using a total cost of ownership framework.

And I would think Toyota, especially Toyota plug-in hybrids, would get a strong boost in total cost of ownership rankings.

Wouldn’t an important inflection point for EVs be winning a total costs of ownership comparison with Toyota plug in hybrids?

Couldn't they use something that made more sense like OpenKeystore or OpenKeyvault? I know Hashicorp might be sensitive about them using the word Vault though, I just feel that it should be descriptive more than a game.
Okay that's great, except children get their myopia before they become casual laptop users.

I'm with you on this claim :)

But, for the sake of truth:
- AirBnB migrated from Rails to a micro-services architecture (which I think, they regretted doing too early - I read that somewhere I believe)
- Stripe never used Rails: they use Ruby (and Sinatra for the Web part - i.e. dashboard).

But it's true that Github and Shopify both use and scaled Rails monoliths. There are showing the way :)
That's interesting. I'm of the opinion that music is getting worse as time progresses. I must be getting old

Due to genetic variability, the risk can be higher in some people.”
Not really. China has so much manufacturing power that if they limited exports and focused on manufacturing for inland it would have major economic shifts for both china and the west. That's the problem with the world putting all of their manufacturing eggs in one basket

> Also, for some reason we often got electric shocks when we touched the coaxial connectors, I guess it happened because the different players connected their PC do power outlets connected to different phases.

Different phases should not cause electric shocks - these are a result of a ground connection being broken or impeded (e.g. due to a clamp not fastened tightly enough). You're lucky you didn't get yourself killed.

Slightly on topic but we've been talking about vaults and keys for years now and I work in CI/CD but I still am no wiser to how I'm supposed to practically use this in my pipelines.

Can someone link something that explains it like I have 20 years in IT but I'm clueless.

I can't get past the fact that a key has to exist somewhere, a key that will give you some sort of access to a secret. So how is it any better if the key already exists in the CI/CD pipeline variables?

Another thing I'm curious about is rotation, which on paper is amazing but in practice would require your vault to have sysadmin access to all your systems, in order to do rotation. It just seems like a tall order to integrate.

What's the point of this? To get better at blackjack?

I ask because I did a blackjack trainer to train me via repetition on perfect play (circa 2008). Still one or two things left unimplemented to this day, though, but over the course of playing a few games a day over months, I definitely did get better (losing less over time than I used to :-))
These products exist. Why do you think they don't? It's a fairly obvious outgrowth of similar extended warranty products for ICE cars, where people would also be stuck with a brick if a major component failed.

A more interesting question is whether the prices reflect this science. Insurance are usually pretty good at this as it's their job, but in small markets they might play it safe.
How much of their revenue comes from Europe and Asia though? American users are much more valuable than Greek or Spanish users for instance.
If you believe in determinism, then it is likely you also believe in physicalist monism (“there is only the matter and consciousness arises/derives fully from it or is an illusion”).

Normally there is not much I can say to change your mind on that, but just note—there are other views, like idealistic monism, which unlock other possibilities wrt. free will, and which cannot be disproven or proven compared to physicalist monism (which cannot be proven or disproven either).

Good points, I think it's fair to claim Result and Option are technically better (when combined with the necessary language features and compile-time checks).

Re: Close() errors yeah most times you would be better off writing the code in place if you really need to handle them. You can make a little helper if you find yourself repeating the same dance a lot. Usually there's not much you can do about close errors though.
Underrated comment, especially the part about companies not knowing what to do with the skilled employees. A lot of what I observe is about a lack of ideas from the management which in turn puts breaks on the existing velocity and morale.

The way I understand it, "state" refers to any point in time during the execution of a program.

A computer program can be split into 3 large parts: input, process, output. And invalid data, in my opinion, only concerns the first part, whereas invalid states can be found throughout all parts of the program due to e.g. bugs.

That makes "make invalid states unrepresentable" more generic than "make invalid data unrepresentable". Or to put it in another way: invalid data can lead to invalid states, but not all invalid states are due to invalid data.
they don't care who else has access as long as they have access and are thus able to control their populace.
> I buy a ticket to fly somewhere, not for a gamble that on the day of the flight the airline will choose to disrupt my plans and cancel the flight because they’re not making money after all

The thing is, the majority of people will choose the ticket that is cheaper, even if there is a small chance of getting shafted. just look at how quickly ryanair grew, despite everyone knowing that each flight is a gamble.

So a carrier can either play by the legacy rules, and get eaten, or they have to play by the new rules
A single word cannot benefit from copyright protection, but a character can. It may be difficult to argue that Anduril and the Palantíri were characters, and even more difficult to argue that the commercial products named after them were substantially similar. Trademark protection may be more applicable, but the Tolkien estate may not have registered (or defended) trademarks for those two names, and if they did it could be argued that a defense company is not confusable with the original material.

On the other hand, maybe both of those companies did secure a license from the Tolkien Estate.
I did a lot of ~12 hour unaccompanied flights when I was 10, to and from school, although I was lucky that the school was close enough to Heathrow that it was only single legs (albeit ~14 hrs).

You can parse before brand thus enhance and enforce runtime correctness.

> With RC, you can rely on the user seeing your progress indicators consistently... without knowing or caring what M was.

What does that mean? How is that helpful for the user to know you've free-d 56,789 objects so far if he doesn't know if there's 60k in total or 600k?

> The crucial difference here is that, under a GC, all threads are at risk of getting throttled because of each other arbitrarily. They simply cannot do any work (at least, nothing that allocates/frees memory) without getting throttled or interrupted at the whim of the GC.

And that's also the case for all thread which share the same RC-d object. They will all be throttled when the memory is freed.

The biggest benefit of RC is how it seamlessly interact with native code, that's why it's a great fit for languages like Obj-C and Swift or Rust (opt-in), but in terms of performance, be it latency or throughput, it's not a particularly good option (the trade off it makes is comparable to copying GC but with higher max latency than copying GC and even lower throughput, and doesn't have fast allocation and memory compaction as a side benefit).
> The only way that China gets an upper hand economically is by selling products to the US and the Western world.

I am not a geopolitician, but this looks like a little too simplistic perspective, doesn’t it? I mean China diversified its wallet, including by helping to create infrastructures in Africa where there is still a largely growing young population (in contrast to the general trend in the occidental countries, or even what the long standing single child policy led to in China).
The ESP32 has series tailored for different purposes: https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs (eg. the ESP32-H is for low-powered applications).

Optimizing Multi-Project Management: A Testimonial on Leiga's Efficacy
As a project leader, I must manage multiple projects simultaneously. Leiga has been an absolute game-changer for me. Its agile-friendly design allows for swift project creation, enabling me to handle tasks in one simplified and intuitive platform. Moreover, Leiga's backlog management has transformed how we manage our workload. But perhaps the most impressive feature has been the roadmap one. It helps us identify at-risk projects quickly and make adjustments as needed. Leiga truly understands the nuance of managing multiple projects. It's more than software; it's a productivity partner.
It may not solve it, but it will change it. The amount of influence these apps have on people make them a prime target for planting and spreading misinformation.
Yes, I am considering permanent migration to the EU and potentially the US. However, I'm uncertain how relocating to the EU might facilitate a future move to the US. Locally, I've observed peers with similar experience relocating to the US or EU through visa sponsorship, earning significantly and often not planning to return. I've also interviewed with German companies, but their salary offers are comparable or lower than this. After years of seeking opportunities for international relocation, my family is keen on moving abroad. I also believe that returning from Luxembourg might not substantially enhance my career prospects in India.
