Thanks for the clarification.

The fact that there are developers out there that are willing to accept hour long compile times from the typescript compiler is disgusting. I’ve seen slow recursive types here and there, but you can analyze your slow types using tsc and fix them yourself.

I hope that slow typescript compiling is a niche issue for massively large/complex codebases and not a common problem.

The article is about the cost of composites dropping thanks to new manufacturing methods and includes three examples:

1. Arris Composites shapes carbon fibers using a process resembling wire bending. The shaped fibers are put into a resin, and the resulting form is placed into a custom mold.

2. 9T Labs uses an additive manufacturing process similar to 3D printing to lay down narrow strips of carbon fiber into a particular shape.

3. Orbital Composites employs off-the-shelf industrial robots with custom print heads that "3D print" carbon fiber shapes.
This isn't a new revelation, ChatGPTs terms of service forbids using it's output to train competing models. Users can choose to publish their chat logs directly on chatgpt.com where they probably will get picked up by competing scrapers unless they are blocked.

No, the hypocrisy of OpenAI handwaving their own scraping as "fair use" while classifying scraping their own services as "abusive behaviour" is not lost on me.
> I'm one of these loser EU residents who has a different mindset, that chasing #1 position in terms of GDP generated per resident isn't the be all end all. Instead, people's happiness is on the top of my mind, and taking care of as many people as possible.

It's not an all or nothing dichotomy.

Social services get dramatically more expensive if you don't have as robust a local economy. All governments borrow money and need to service debts in order to pay for their social safety net, and that's much more expensive now due to higher interest rates and economic convergence.

And it's not like Eastern European EU member states are poor chumps anymore - they're fairly business friendly and some like Czechia have already caught up to Western European (Italy/France) level living standards.

This means you can't play wage arbitrage anymore by getting an underpaid janitor or nurse from Croatia or Poland to work at your local hospital like you could 10 years ago.

I love listening to bootlegs (recording of a concert that is not official, mostly done by fans). I happen to be a fan of a band that has quite dedicated fan base and tons of bootlegs. I remember, and I'm quite sure of it, that I could type "<BAND> <SONG> <YEAR> live" in youtube search and get pages upon pages of exactly that. Recording of the song by the band, in given year.

Today if I type "tool right in two live" I get:

actually what I requested - 12

official audio - 1

cover song - 4

other song by the band - 12

full concert - 4

"reaction" video - 4

And after that there are mostly "reaction" videos, yea, just what I wanted. Try it out, it's actually funny (and sad).
Wait a second.

I can agree with the basic premise of rising housing costs, but still call out BS with colonialism or inequality.

First. This same effect is already happening in 1st class cities like NYC, Sf, Miami or Toronto. Chinese, Saudi, Latin and Russian oligarchs come and buy up the entire housing inventory, making locals feel the squeeze. Is that colonialism? No. That's just very poor local policy.

Second, inequality. Take the exact same situation. Inequality is extreme in these cities and they are mostly progressive bastions. Why? Could it be that rich cities ineviably end up unequal? But then why youbhave unskilled very poor undocumented migrants flowing in?

Could it be that inequality is not itself repugnant, but instead lack of dynamism in economic opportunity, the real problem, one which the US does not have (for now)? Unlike EU royalty, who seem able to hold on tontitles and riches inherited from a millennia ago?

Third , if there are no benefits, why is this allowed in cities anyway?

I posit thwt There are benefits, but the majority of benefits do not flow to the right parties (middle class) and instead flow to the elites, who pay themselves salaries off the permits, real estate and VAT taxes skilled migrants generate.

So you have a problem originated from the ruling class. Not with skill migrants. Open up urban development, completely. Then make tax flow downstream. Problem goes away. Yet the elite class is not going to let go their golden goose and fire themselves in the process.

So therein lies the real problem.

As an introvert, I dispute this hypothesis. I don't live in a state of fear. That's not the way it works. I simply don't feel the urge to talk as much.

The way I would put it, which may explain the phenomenon discussed in the linked article, is that introverts talk for a purpose, whereas for extraverts, talking is the purpose.

Almost sounds as if someone can actually come to the US as a digital nomad, work and live there, and get tax breaks.

There's a difference though between importing talent to work for the local economy and having people who work for foreign companies. Maybe some digital nomads transition from the latter to the former, but given local wages it must be rare.

Then it's a tradeoff between whether the extra tax revenue/spending is worth the potential social issues those rich foreigners can bring.
What happened was either the teacher is severely biased against ChatGPT and fabricated the fact to fit their narrative. Or ChatGPT gave the correct answer, but the student interpreted it wrong.

I do believe the students keep coming up with weird (correct) facts, and that this can be scary for a teacher who is stuck at a search bar.
Wouldn’t the ‘sage theory’ simply be that: this is a recession. Perhaps it’s just been too long since the last one (17ish years?) for people to recall recessions. Last time I got stuck in a very boring job too, for 4 painful years. Probably a good time to study, they say.
> the US bottom 10% have it worse than most or even almost all people from western Europe

America’s bottom 10% are absolutely comparable to Europe’s bottom 10% when one considers actual access to services and material standards of living. (I’m assuming you mean EU’s, not Europe’s, because as terrible as being homeless in America may be, it sure beats being bombed.)
yes, but they don't require that you use their hardware. non-Apple bluetooth headphones are a thing, and they work great. Apple desktops and laptops still have physical headphone/headset jacks, too.

I personally prefer wireless headphones when using a phone, because having the cable often required that you either have the phone out and in your hand the whole time, because the cable is too short, or somehow the headphone cable is far too long and it gets caught on everything as you move around. I understand wanting to have the option, of course, and I recognize that not everyone shares my preferences.

Having designed electronic circuit boards in the past, I also know that the removal of a connector is always considered a "win". connectors suck and are the source of a lot of problems down the line, especially if they are for connecting to the outside world.
Money is more like mercury and less like gold: dynamic and quick rather than solid and permanent.

It doesn’t “land” anywhere. Landlords spend it and invest it. When they invest it it goes to some business who then spends it.

If the landlords are rich enough, they may consider wildly risky invesments like tech startups.

If there’s enough rich people investing in businesses - not just tech startups - you end up with a thick ecosystem of companies and thus US-level wages.
"find and destroy rogue cells" is an attempt to ask the right question. Sometimes, when stuck, questions from ignorance are useful even if it is just as inspiration.

My ignorance has a model like: If you keep putting sugar in the gas tank, how do you fix the car? How do I stay healthy if I eat only crap? How do I stay fit if I never get out of my chair?

Shit, would it be one of those cause and effect things?
Maybe this approach would have made sense if the area were an established hub in whatever craft those immigrants are specializing in, but in case of Portugal what I can see is a country with (formerly?) cheap CoL trying to attract immigrants who keep working remotely, paying taxes elsewhere and contributing whatever little consumption tax they pay into the local economy. There's no established competitive IT industry or academia. This isn't how you build high-tech economy, it's how you become a suburban wasteland for rich people.
Sometimes we keep doing things because we don't stop and think, but it's good to stop and consider if we should continue or change. "Because we've always done it that way" / "because everyone's doing it" can mask many nasty things we wouldn't start doing if given a completely fresh context.

When the americans will be displaced by the skilled migrants, it will be an even harder pill to swallow. And it will be too late too. This movie it's not done yet.

Any kind of forced population relocation, it's bad. Before, it was done with guns, now it's done with money. The results are the same.

Current day skilled migration is popular today, because companies get fully educated people, without having to pay taxes for education, day care, health. You get only the best, whithout having to paying anything. Not even parental leave for their parents.

The question is, should the people let companies, aka the rich, decide how the country will look like in 50, 100 years?

Also skilled migration is very bad for origin countries too. They loose all the best while having to suport all the liabilities. Like the pensions of the parents of the skilled labor that left and now it's not contributing anything.

Rental prices.

My first source says:
The average price for an apartment in Lisbon is 21€ per square meter, in Coimbra it's 12€ per square meter

See also (the numbers differ a bit, but similar ball park)
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1416178/portugal-rental-...

OTOH there are reasons for the higher price (beyond hype). Lisbon feels more like a big city than Coimbra.
The blog is interesting, but it is about sc1. Pathfinding in sc1 is so terrible that moving units where you want is part of what's make one a pro player.
The downstream issues are not related to immigration, otherwise house prices would have fallen in Lisbon.

Look at examples such as Singapore, Dubai and many others that adopted an entrepreneurial attitude and figured out the infrastructure to support that growth.

When will they blame when the immigrants don’t come but the problems remain?
How would you make that possible? I am really not sure if it is indeed possible because the real world is much messier than utopic dreams. For example, where does the money come from for all of these? I have not once seen an actual tangible budget for all of these things, and keep in mind that these things are much more expensive than those in power usually budget for, see things like constructing infrastructure almost always going way over budget and time.
> Most EU countries (where Portuguese also happen to emigrate to) also tax their high earners equally high: France, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Sweden, even Romania

Until about €10 to 25mm, at which point the tax shenanigans the EU affords would make the Congress blush. (I’ve seen exemptions that couldn’t apply to more than one family, and that was in Sverige.)
Ahhh, duh. Thank you for pointing that out. My eyes jumped right over that and I was looking for metadata at the top/bottom of the post.
I haven’t had any issues, but I’m not using it to do “real” research so the veracity of sources has been less of an issue for me. I typically ask, then spot check sources.

If I’m using it to make purchase decisions or scheduling my day then I use it purely to find me source pages.

It’s really terrible at calculating the cost of services.
I dislike these policies (despite benefiting from the Dutch equivalent for a short time). Why should existing tax payers effectively subsidise lower taxes for new arrivals? Both receive the same state benefits and both earn the same income.

Also, I'm not sure they're actually effective overall. For every tax break you give to a new arrival earning say over 100k, there's surely an existing resident earning the equivalent whom you are effectively encouraging to leave with such a discriminatory policy.

And indeed, according to headlines like this "As Digital Nomads Flock to Lisbon, Portugal’s Youth Are Leaving in Droves"[1], it seems to be playing out this way.

Like the annoying business practice of offering steep discounts for new customers, it relies on the inertia of your existing customer base (in this case citizens). The problem is that the "digital nomads" you are trying to attract are the least "sticky" type of resident (after tourists) and are far less likely to fully engage is civil society and contribute at that level (often never bothering to even speak the local language). While if you drive one of your own citizens to relocated in another EU country, the net loss is greater.

Having lived and worked in Dublin for a long period, I was interested when a Dutch-style seven year rule was proposed by the government a few years ago. There was immediate, widespread vocal opposition and the proposal was dropped quickly.

Traffic-Cone Film Scanning: High-Quality Film Digitization on the Cheap
All ethics is subjective (or at best intersubjective), you're not pointing out anything new or interesting there. Considering the concept of non-male users to be "too controversial" to accept does not meet my threshold for "basic human decency".
You're on a tangent, who cares what it's called but the fact is that years started at 1, not 0, therefore centuries also start on the first year, not the zeroth year.
Libraries are huge net wins for society. If they were just meeting spaces with free computer/internet access that'd be enough to justify their existence as a service to low income individuals and the community. They're so much more though - they're a nexus for events, classes and social activism while housing a useful cache of culture. Even if the internet has all the information and more, the library offers curation and an honest perspective which the internet sorely needs.

I think they're saying it does the job of making it taste sweet (artificially anyway) but comes with an unpleasant flavour.
It's my point too --- we need some law which will pass muster and rate limit such contributions.
One thing that we have, these days, is the luxury of believing that we have a right to be happy in our jobs. Tech people have this in spades. I love working in tech. It inspires and motivates me. I like it so much, I kept doing it, long after I no longer needed to.

I think that's actually a fairly recent thing (like leisure time, which was really something only rich people had, once upon a time). There's still plenty of jobs that people have to do, that they don't look forward to, and are waiting for retirement. Some, pay quite well, but they aren't fun.

It's great to make a good living, and have a vocation that energizes and motivates us. We spend the majority of our time at our gig, so it makes sense that we should be happy, there. Employers want us to be happy, so we'll spend more time with them.

But there's a price to be paid for being relaxed and happy. I find that I need pressure, to get stuff shipped. These days, I do it for free (retired), and have to provide my own pressure. It works. The trick for most managers, is to be able to keep the pressure up, without making life miserable for their employees, because miserable employees are not productive ones.

I knew a very well-paid Derivatives Analyst (so you know this was a while ago). She used to work for a major bank, and told me how they would bring catered meals to her desk, and provide complimentary limousine drives home, if she stayed past train time. They also had world-class daycare.

She was pretty happy with her job, and stayed, until the bottom fell out of the market. I didn't have much contact with her, at that time, but I know she bounced around a bit. Not sure what she's up to, nowadays. I'm sure that she was under a tremendous amount of pressure, but some folks thrive on it. I know that she made a shitload of money, for a while.

You’re right about Vienna - it’s clean and wonderful.

Some governments do offer much better value for money than others.

But I think high taxes are a very risky bet on the idea that the government will stay competent long-term: bureaucracies are almost never cut down when they grow too large; thus taxes almost never come down significantly over the long term.

The first time I had cilantro was as an adult, and I hated it. It tasted like dish soap.

Now I actually crave it a little on specific dishes: enchiladas, burritos, banh mi, and Pad Thai.

But I wouldn't want dish soap in those dishes (I think). And I don't like it on its own.
It isn't so much that it is hard to build things - it is more that it is hard to distribute software for Linux because there are so many targets to build for. It is unreasonably hard to build binaries for distribution to more than one Linux distro. So people are disinclined to even try.

You can, of course, build static binaries (and people really should do that more often) and distribute tarballs, but then you might run into all manner of licensing issues. (Not to mention the tedious discussion about upgrading shared libraries under the feet of applications and praying it doesn't introduce hard to detect breakages).

One direction I'd love for distro designers to explore is if Linux distributions were to abandon the traditional splatterfest style of software installs, where an application scatters lots of files across several filesystems and depends on system wide libraries, and instead puts each application in a self-contained directory. Or rather, two: one for the immutable files (binaries, libraries etc) and one for variable state. That way you could choose if you want to do static linking or dynamic. Because any shared libraries could be part of the immutable application directory.

Oh yes, it'll result in a lot more disk use, but disk drives are cheap, and libraries rarely make up that much of your disk use anyway. But there is a fair chance you could address some of that with filesystem level deduplication.

You could also have systems for distributing shared libraries from trusted sources so applications do not necessarily have to include the shared libraries, but that they can be fetched as part of the install system. And then manage shared libraries locally with hardlinks or some form of custom filesystem trickery. This would have a few added benefits (opportunities for supply chain security, reducing size of distributed packages etc).

macOS does this only partially, but applications still depend on shared libraries and you have the horror that is the Library directories which are somewhat randomly structured, resulting in lots of leftovers when you try to remove applications. macOS has some interesting ideas, but the execution of them is....inconsistent at best.

The reason package managers don't work well is that they are trying to solve a lot of problems we shouldn't be having in the first place. And because nobody wants to simplify the problem they have to solve, distribution maintainers will keep writing package management systems that are a pain in the ass.
There is an available option for this: FMLA. It can be difficult to find a doctor to sign off, if you haven't already been in therapy though, which is unfortunate. When you realize you're burned out, it's usually past the point where you need a hand. FMLA doesn't guarantee salary but it does require that medical coverage is maintained and that your job is safe. SDI can help with income, which is why you need a doctor involved.
I highly doubt all or even most.
