What kind of bike commute are we talking, 20 minute casual flat land plain clothes upright Dutch bike commute or 20 mile uphill lycra sports SF $10K carbon fiber bike commute? If you sweat/stink profusely for the former you should probably see a doctor or like, slow down a bit. If it's the latter, it's a sports exercise, not a commute and you should shower / change before work.

>The notice period is 6 weeks at minimum by law and often negotiated to be 3 months

The issue is being able to let go of workers for no reason, not the notice period itself, which BTW, every EU country has, Austria is nothing special here, quite the opposite. Do you feel this imbalance of power that you can be let go at any time for any reason is a fair to the workers in a so called socialist country?

Wouldn't be such a big issue if unemployment wouldn't be a pitiful 60% of your salary for ~3 months (yes it can be longer but you're then at the mercy of the system handler if they agree with the job search you're doing, otherwise they can also cut you off if you don't want to take hard jobs like warehouse work) .

>you can still sue immediately through the Arbeiterkammer

AK will only help you sue only in case of unfair dismissal which rarely happens because employers don't need to provide a reason for terminating you as long as they give you the 6-week-3-month notice. So long hours, burnout and hire-and-fire mentality is rampant among Austrian companies, but rarely talked about because it contradicts the "most livable country" narrative paid for by Austria to the Economist who runs that yearly campaign-ad.
Somewhat related, this list of names is useful to generate these casual real looking images using images generation models.

I've run into this as well. There's a cog in the wheel developer and ... they have their place, and in many orgs they're the only thing that works.

But if you're not that person (and I like to think I'm not) and you are curious and stop to think about second order effects, future features that are a little obvious, and so on ... it's really painful working with those developers who do not.

I worked with one recently, not a bad person at all, but now I'm cleaning up his project that 100% did exactly what the tickets told him to do. And the project that he worked on that was designed to replace a piece of software that had issues ... has every single issue the old one had for all the same reasons (someone coded it in the easiest possible way + only what the ticket told them to).

So frustrating.

I will say this though, I find the use of the term "10x developer" a sort of buzzword smell for the kind of reckless developer with no oversight who "gets the job done" at great cost ... because they can do what they want and then everything is siloed and potentially a disaster when anyone has to touch it or they bolt when it becomes clear their tower of cards is ready to come down.

Not to say I disagree with your statement generally, just that term tends to make me worry.
> the shutdown is supposed to usher in a new age of modern high speed communications to power the modern 4G & 5G

Wonder how so? Surely closing small roads don’t make the highway users go faster.

> One would assume that the Shutdown of the 3G network would only impact those with phones from last decade, or those unwilling to upgrade.

Even if that would be the case, how is it acceptable to impact those? What frequency of "upgrading" is expected to be obligatory in the future to allow the always newer eras?

which metrics are you using for this assertion?
When you deal with enough small businesses, you'll find out that they usually pay a large percentage of their revenue to middle men in order to save a pittance of money or effort which would be required to get rid of the middle man. People don't act rationally. Those who do act rationally regarding their business, generally find ways to grow it beyond being a small business. Assuming they want to. Many are happy being small.

SaaS is not a middle man. They're usually a good solution for a small business.

I know groff, at least the bible K&R C programming book is published by groff, if I am not wrong.

For me, I think groff/LaTeX/SILE/typst all belongs to same category, i.e, the author write some markup language, then processed by some processors, then get an output. I chose LaTeX and Typst as the classic ones in my post:

- LaTeX is the classic, old school typesetting engine
- Typst, clearly more modern, with many advanced design like incremental compilation, wasm and web app, instant preview, better error message.

For others, groff/SILE, to be honest I don't have time to dive into each of these.

----

Do you see any advantages of groff over LaTeX?
Good points. I was more focused on the technical side.

I want to add a bit more to "easier deployment" -- traditional model is that you push updates at some interval (regular interval like semi annually/annually or non regular intervals), and you need to manage multiple versions and potentially patch multiple versions for severe bugs or security issues. Lots of software still works that way. But with office 365, jira etc you only have one version to worry about. Of course it means different risk levels, SLAs etc, but that's a different topic.

Yes, but you can do it with impunity without getting prosecuted, the same as Apple. If you would, it would fix the illegal immigration problem but nobody actually wants to solve the problem. When white farmers start going to jail is when we'll find out somebody is actually serious about fixing the illegal immigration problem.

The vaccination campaign has solely been target at girls and women. Which is crazy, since boys and men can get cancer from HPV too.

I really don't understand the bias in public health communication here.
OWID is making the same mistake again.
How are boys supposed to know that they should get the shot, if everybody public health professional fails to tell them?

> HPV is also thought to cause about 95% of anal cancers, 75% of oropharyngeal cancers, 75% of vaginal cancers, 70% of vulvar cancers, and 60% of penile cancers.2 Low-risk or non-oncogenic genotypes (eg, types 6 and 11) cause anogenital warts, low-grade cervical disease, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. In the USA, the incidence of oropharyngeal cancer in men now exceeds that of cervical cancer in women, and by 2020 the annual number of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers will exceed that of cervical cancers. As a result, it is important to consider ways to expand our HPV prevention efforts to boys and men.

You could use INGROUP for US, and OUTGROUP for THEM. Not the usual distinction but makes it easier to parse. Maybe it makes is also clearer that this is a description, not an assignment.

I gotta say though that lack of infix custom operators for the monadic bind is a pain.

SST (v3, ion) is awesome! Its live Lambda debugging feature totally changes the way I develop Lambda functions. It has the potential to be a cloud vendor-independent alternative to AWS Amplify Gen2.

Since SST allows you to use Pulumi code, you can code your infrastructure extensively even if some resources are not directly supported by SST itself.
However, for such usage, it also has rough edges inherited from Pulumi. For instance, I encountered issues with cyclic dependencies [1] between resources and incomplete deployments.
It would be great if I could run the Pulumi CLI against my SST stack.

English is my fourth language and I much prefer reading something that is imperfect but written by a human to something auto-generated. That feels as if we someone would say "I'm busy, talk to my agent instead."
They don't need to have "brains" in the sense that humans do, ie. discrete neurons and axons, but they do need to have "neural networks" - networks of nonlinear operators with a training mechanism. I'm aware of zero evidence that trees perform computation on a larger-than-single-cell basis.
What a heartwarming story!

Both Google and Microsoft have built "scalable, reliable email infrastructure," GMail and Exchange/Outlook respectively.

Both offer outbound bulk emailing. Google supports that through the GMail API, and Microsoft has both the Exchange-based email system and Azure Communication Services. Google partners with Sendgrid as well for customers who need that kind of solution.

I don't know what you mean by "true alternative to Amazon SES." What counts as a true alternative depends on requirements. Large-scale outbound emailing seems like a niche business with low margins and high frustration (criminal scammers, blocked IP ranges).

I could ask why Amazon doesn't offer a true alternative to GMail and Outlook. Different business models probably explain it. Amazon AWS makes money by renting out resources. Google and Microsoft make money doing that too, but they rely more on data collection, advertising, and in Microsoft's case CRM systems that include bulk emailing.

You can get fired immediately without cause, but that's against the law, and the law is pretty clear on lawful causes:

§ 27.

Als ein wichtiger Grund, der den Dienstgeber zur vorzeitigen Entlassung berechtigt, ist insbesondere anzusehen:

1. Wenn der Angestellte im Dienste untreu ist, sich in seiner Tätigkeit ohne Wissen oder Willen des Dienstgebers von dritten Personen unberechtigte Vorteile zuwenden läßt, insbesondere entgegen der Bestimmung des § 13 eine Provision oder eine sonstige Belohnung annimmt, oder wenn er sich einer Handlung schuldig macht, die ihn des Vertrauens des Dienstgebers unwürdig erscheinen läßt;
2. wenn der Angestellte unfähig ist, die versprochenen oder die den Umständen nach angemessenen Dienste (§ 6) zu leisten;
3. wenn einer der im § 1 bezeichneten Angestellten ohne Einwilligung des Dienstgebers ein selbständiges kaufmännisches Unternehmen betreibt oder im Geschäftszweige des Dienstgebers für eigene oder fremde Rechnung Handelsgeschäfte macht oder wenn ein Angestellter den in § 7, Absatz 4, bezeichneten Verboten zuwiderhandelt;
4. wenn der Angestellte ohne einen rechtmäßigen Hinderungsgrund während einer den Umständen nach erheblichen Zeit die Dienstleistung unterläßt oder sich beharrlich weigert, seine Dienste zu leisten oder sich den durch den Gegenstand der Dienstleistung gerechtfertigten Anordnungen des Dienstgebers zu fügen, oder wenn er andere Bedienstete zum Ungehorsam gegen den Dienstgeber zu verleiten sucht;
5. wenn der Angestellte durch eine längere Freiheitsstrafe oder durch Abwesenheit während einer den Umständen nach erheblichen Zeit, ausgenommen wegen Krankheit oder Unglücksfalls, an der Verrichtung seiner Dienste gehindert ist;
6. wenn der Angestellte sich Tätlichkeiten, Verletzungen der Sittlichkeit oder erhebliche Ehrverletzungen gegen den Dienstgeber, dessen Stellvertreter, deren Angehörige oder gegen Mitbedienstete zuschulden kommen läßt.

The employee can also "fire their employer", see § 26[0] for lawful causes.

The proof of guilt is up to the one who fires in the end.

I know of one person who got fired unlawful, and their ex-employer is now EUR 80k+ poorer.

I don’t think that this algorithm can handle slash chords like G/C (G over C) and would instead label it as Gsus4. The former gives a lot of important context to voicing which can by important if you need a particular sort of motion in the bass line.

My hunch is that any algorithm that analyzes chords in isolation (and not in the context of other chords in the song) is going to miss out on overall readability. Good chord notation has a sort of elegance that can highlight the similarities/differences between sequential chords that can make things very intuitive for the musician

The main difference is the sheer scale at which it is happening.

Paper records are relatively easy to store, and created as part of day-to-day operations. If something is written down on paper, they just have to put it in a box rather than throw it away. Is it already archived because the law says you need to keep it 10 year or something? Then it has a pretty decent chance of surviving as long as nobody takes the effort to clean out old records. Sure, paper can get damaged by fire, water, mold, insects, and a lot of other stuff, but in general if you leave it alone it'll be perfectly readable 100-200 years down the line without anyone actively trying to. Some yellowing and a smudge on the paper? No big deal, still perfectly readable.

Digital records are different. The physical mediums commonly used rapidly degrade, so survival past a few decades is doubtful. Even if it does survive, are you still going to have the equipment to read it? And if you have the equipment, are you even able to connect it to a modern machine? And don't expect to just reconstruct it: the specifications are even harder to find! In other words, for a digital record to survive in an easily-accessible format someone has to copy it to a new physical medium every few years.

Assuming you can read the disk, how are you going to interpret it? Most records aren't stored in ascii. You're going to need software which is able to parse whatever complicated format is being used - which is now horribly outdated. And that format and software wasn't designed for fault tolerance either: a single bit flip can prevent a file from being opened, or completely corrupt its content. It's going to require expert-level knowledge to retrieve it.

Some Zip-drive from 2000 containing a WordPerfect file? Probably doable 25 years later if you really want to, but it's going to be a challenge. Another 25, 50, or 75 years? Forget it.

And that's the best-case scenario. These days everything is stored in The Cloud, which means it'll just randomly disappear one day because they don't feel like keeping it. Mass deletion is trivial and happens without anyone noticing. If you're very lucky your records will last until a few years after your death, but even that is far from guaranteed. 200-year-old records retrieved from the cloud by archivists? Not going to happen.

Exactly. In fact the municipal housing is excellent by world standards and not just something for those in the lowest income bracket.

There were some scandals recently about slum landlords, but the point is they were caught and already legislation is being proposed to prevent even these rare, but horrible, cases to slip by.

I'm probably stating the obvious, but any human stuff is definitely flammable. What do they do for heat anyway? I'd imagine they use oil or gas, which sounds like a big logistic challenge away from any ports.

Anyway, I'd imagine they mainly get oil/gas fires or electrical fires, for which it'd be better to use foam or whatever is best for electrical. If they use water, they'd keep the hoses dry and warm and use a de-icer like glycol.
Delphi is still around and filling a niche for boring business apps where usability, accessibility and quick UI development is more important than following design trends.

Yes, which the article mentions:

What is the point of “ramping up” though? You don’t learn much about how to prompt in the process, you just get worse results. So now I have my useless todo and ramp up to my code and it falls face first in the mud in the next sentence. I can chew up everything for it and explain where it’s wrong or re-prompt with clarifications, but the problem is, I write code faster than that and with less frustration, cause it’s at least deterministic. And I’m neither a rockstar developer nor too smart.

What I would like from LLMs is a developer’s buddy. A chat that sits aside and ai-lints my sources and the current location, suggesting ideas, reminding of potential issues, etc. So I could dismiss or take note of its tips in a few clicks. I don’t think anyone built that yet.

But it did not say "this language sucks". To me it was kind of asking something like "is Java still relevant nowadays?", in a polite way. It actually got a few interesting answers ("Java sucks" probably wouldn't).

I believe that it's enough to not upvote a message if you find it irrelevant. The upvoted messages will stay at the top. It is not completely off-topic: the people who will read the featured article have knowledge about Java, after all.

My concern is just that downvoting is fairly aggressive. You don't need to be massively downvoted many times to effectively end up being silenced (if you are moderated 2-3 times while you wrote a polite, genuine question, chances are that you won't come back). By aggressively downvoting everything that we don't find particularly relevant, I feel like it just encourages bubbles.
