What makes me think that it's about race(loosely speaking. IMHO it's more about xenophobia and feeling like losing privilege o identity as a nation etc) is that once you make the immigration legal they start complaining about numbers like in Britain.

BTW I don't disagree with the people who don't want everyone be welcome, I just think that their solution ideas and demands are misguided. My observation is that people from various ethnicities can function in cohesion and are about the same when they are from a similar educational background and rarely have ethnical or racial issues among themselves and IMHO all the problems will be resolved if you let people naturally find their appropriate group they belong to instead of having BS like country borders and visas and DEI or race based positive discrimination etc.

I use TypeScript in a way that leaves no TS traces in compiled JS. It means no enums, no namespaces, no private properties, etc.

Great list of such features: https://www.totaltypescript.com/books/total-typescript-essen...

TS has a great type system, the rest of the language is runtime overhead.
"The grant covers personal living, material, and coaching expenses over 12 months, allowing founders to focus on developing their founding idea. While graduates receive personal funding of 2.500€, students can receive 1.000€ a month, additionally up to 30.000€ material and 5.000€ coaching budget that can be used to develop the founding project further."

So, 30k EUR (gross) with a maximum funding period of one year? Laughable. Also probably a little bit tragicomic.

Early seed rounds are usually measured in couple of USD millions. I wonder how these brilliant minds in the EU think they will attract the industry talent to leave their ~5x salary (outside FAANG) for such a pocket money.

Modular monolith refers to the architecture of your application[1]. It's a different concept from "monorepo", although they can be used together.

>propaganda

This word is incongruent with your use of this word:

>enemy

Especially in light of the fact that you consistently fail to identify which identity is doing this:

>An enemy that is planning wars of conquest, who's starving and torturing parts of its population.

Pop-quiz: which nations have been consistently at war since March, 2003? Which nations have established 1,000 torture dungeons around the globe? Which nations have portions of their populations, by design, living in desperate poverty, feeding a for-profit prison-industrial complex, every single day, with fresh meat?

The ability to identify propaganda is not as important as the ability to identify duplicity. One cannot have the former without the latter.
For someone who writes TS only occasionally and mostly doesn't care about the JS ecosystem, this is a great article. I picked up a few tricks. That said, normalization of warts is a common thing in JS, and people tend to just live with it rather than fix it. This feels like another example of that.

In Go, if something is discouraged (unsafe, runtime, reflection shenanigans), you immediately know why. The language is mostly free of things that exist but you shouldn’t use.

TS was a breath of fresh air when it came out. I never took Node seriously for backend work—it was always something I reluctantly touched for client-side stuff. But TS made some of JS’s warts bearable. Over time, though, it’s added so many crufts and features that these days, I shudder at the thought of reading a TS expert’s type sludge.

It's worth noting that basically every major founding member of the "Rationalist" community was, in fact, part of these other communities. While I don't normally consider criticism of Mormon theology relevant to bowling, it does seem relevant to critiquing the Mormon Bowling League of Utah.

I personally find all those norms refreshing, mind you. I'm just saying this is a place where they're really intractably interwoven. I'd assume if bowling was invented by Mormons, there'd be a lot of people thrown off when the word "Jesus" shows up in the section on evaluating strikes. Similarly, many people are thrown off when reading about statistics and it suddenly concludes God is dead and you should be polyamorous.

Going through our pre-seed round atm and it is incredibly frustrating. I haven't raised in the US so it may be similar there, but the amount of time wasted for a relatively small amount of money is painful.

I'm also not sure what the government can do. SEIS/EIS is a great scheme, but the SEIS limit of £250k feels almost too small to do anything meaningful, and EIS funds are generally later stage or re-investment from SEIS.
And rhai is, it allows infinite loops.

Make up your mind.

You say this all as if the US were not doing much the same in reverse. The NSA has a yearly budget in the tens of billions of dollars, and part of its mission is offensive cyber operations. The US has dozens of satellites overflying China at any given moment (I don't even know if the Chinese balloon was intentional - in the end, it actually seemed as if China had simply lost control of the balloon). The US has military bases all over China's periphery, which pose a serious military threat to mainland China. The US has imposed broad sanctions intended to cripple China's entire high-tech sector, which is a fundamental attack on China's goal of becoming an economically developed country with a high standard of living.

By any objective assessment, the US is much more aggressive in its attitude towards China than vice versa. The type of thinking you're engaging in, which paints China as an enemy with which mutually beneficial relations are impossible, will lead to ever more antagonism and eventual conflict, if not curtailed.
I'd start with ESP32 if I had nothing else to do. Get two of them working with each other and convince some neighbors to join a neighborhood mesh network.
In a previous job we had a team tasked with designing these "modern" CI/CD pipeline solutions, mostly meant for Kubernetes, but it was suppose to work for everything. They had such a hard on for tools that would run each step as a separate isolated task and did not want pipelines to "devolve" into shell scripts.

Getting anything done in such environments are just a pain. You spend more time fighting the systems than you do actually solving problems. It is my opinion that a CI/CD system needs just the following features: Triggers (source code repo, http endpoints or manually triggered), secret management and shell script execution. That's it, you can build anything using that.

For what it's worth, the second letter of the d-sub naming convention indicates the width of the shell. A DB15 would be excessively wide for the number of pins. The correct name for the classic three row VGA port is DE-15 and it uses the same width shell as the DE-9 often used for serial ports.

Note, old Mac's used a wider, two row DA-15 at one point.

The DE-15 is occasionally called an HD-15 and the correctness of that is widely debated on internet forums.

> GitHub at least makes splitting massive CI/CD setups easier by allowing you to write them as separate workflows that are separate files.

this makes me feel like you’re really asking “can i split up my gitlab CICD yaml file or does everything need to be in one file”.

if that’s the case:

yes it does eventually all end up in a single pipeline (ignoring child pipelines).

but you can split everything up and then use the `include` statement to pull it all together in one main pipeline file which makes dealing with massive amounts of yaml much easier.

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/includes.html

you can also use `include` to pull in a yaml config from another project to add things like SAST on the fly.

previous workplace i had like 4 CICD template repos and constructed all 30 odd actual build repos from those four templates.

used `include` to pull in some yaml template jobs, which i made run when by doing something like (it’s been a while, might get this wrong)

include:
project: 'cicd/templates'
file: 'builds.yml'

stages:
- build

job_a:
stage: build
extends: .job_a_from_template
variables:
IMAGE_NAME: "myimage"
IMAGE_REPO: "somerepo.org"

this doesn’t run anything for `job_b_from_template` … you just end up defining the things you want to run for each case, plus any variables you need to provide / override.

you can also override stuff like rules on when it should run if you want to. which is handy.

gitlab CICD can be really modular when you get into it.

if that wasn’t the case: on me.

edit: switched to some yaml instead of text which may or may not be wrong. dunno. i have yet to drink coffee.
Depends on where you're starting from

1. Absolute zero?

Find the top rated short book in the language you're interested in. If you don't know which language, since you eventually want to get into AI, Python probably would be best bang for buck. IMO the more pictures, the better. Also, be aware that sometimes setting up the environment for coding can be half the grunt work, and to avoid that, often something like using Google Colab works just fine. [0]

2. If you have some coding knowledge and want to improve that first before thinking about AI? Here are some tricks I would try that I think are less common:

a. Find a youtuber who meets these 3 criteria:

- 1. is a great coder

- 2. is a great communicator

- 3. has posted videos of them solving the Advent of Code challenge series while they think out loud about their reasoning and solving.

Simultaneously try to solve the AoC problems yourself, while also typing out their solution. Observing tacit knowledge is very effective for skill transfer.

Pause the video whenever you think you know the way forward etc. so you get a chance to try yourself.

b. Get very used at quickly digging through codebases. Best way to do that is to find a lot of codebases to click through.

Github is pretty good for this and the code browsing feature actually lets you jump through code reasonably well enough to traverse codebases just by clicking on any symbol that looks interesting to jump to its usages or definition.

Look for anything that sounds cool on Github (browse trending repos etc), and try to figure out how it works. This is a quicker way to introduce yourself to a variety of patterns without having to whip everything from scratch - you can learn those planning skills at a later time.

3. For getting into AI, once you feel comfortable with coding generally, try the Deep Learning For Coders youtube lecture series from fast.ai

[0] I just point this out to give you a heads-up that basically it's quite easy to run into situations where for some strange reason if you just keep installing stuff, things can get borked, and trying to solve that saps energy and educational momentum
That's a tough one, I'm not sure how to get a quantifyable number on it except for painstakingly ablating a prompt until the answer you get becomes significantly degraded.

But then still, how do you measure how much you have ablated your prompt? How do you measure objectively how badly the answer has degraded?
Yeah.. no. Have you been to Asian cities? It's rows and rows of 100 floor apartments, it's urban centers consolidated into high density malls and commercial centers. We're talking about dozens of high rises where every floor contains restaurants and shops. I daresay there is more to eat and shop in the 1km Radius around Ikebukuro Station then entire borough of Westminster!

Nobody wants to work in some backwater in the middle of nowhere either, especially if you are young and want to meet new people.
> Laissez faire capitalists still want a government

No, not as a rule, they don't.

Some may, but even those must be against government interference in the market, as that's the definition of laissez faire. The only relevant dividing point is if they regard "IP" as a valid form of property.

Perhaps what he meant is that the public will be able to benchmark the model themselves by throwing different difficulty math problems at it and not necessarily the FrontierMath benchmark. It should become pretty obvious if they were faking the results or not.

> "...developed a compression algorithm that came within 0.03 bits of the theoretical limit of possible compression."

Since when can we subdivide bits!?
A practical example of mapping streams:

ffmpeg -i <movie-with-many-tracks.mkv> -map 0:0 -map 0:5 -map 0:12 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -scodec copy "output-movie.mkv"

Use: sometimes I have a file with a lot of audio and or subtitle streams but only want one or two of each – here, 0:0 is the video, 0:5 is English audio, and 0:12 was the subtitle track I wanted. Setting the codecs to “copy” means nothing gets reencoded.
To make the thing actually fast at scale, a lot of the logic ends up being specific to the provider; requiring tokens, artifacts etc that aren't available locally. You end up with something that tries to detect if you're running locally or in CI, and then you end up in exactly the same situation.

It isn't a "conservative talk-radio shopping list". It is reality in quite a few areas in Europe and the UK.

> Economic Conditions and Political Outcomes are pretty sane and tolerable for all but a select group of (surprise surprise) US backed agitators like Hungary. You have to remember that the EU is run as a society rather than an economy, and must be judged on this ethos. People are very fond of using the comparable GDPs of Bavaria and Mississippi in this conversation - forgetting to mention the life expectancy is 10 years less and infant mortality 400% higher on the US side.

This isn't true. I know many people that have moved from Spain to Hungary. Most of these people where politically fairly normal e.g. either centre-left right or centre-left. I speak to people from all over Europe regularly and many of them do not feel the way that you are describing.

> Societal and Political trust is still quite high - despite much fearmongering, the far-right are not gaining the political capital necessary to instigate significant change outside of Hungary.

That isn't true. I know many areas of Europe where the electorate keep on voting for further right parties. The same is happening in the UK. Labour only won because the Conservatives lost and the Reform party did extremely well for what is a relatively new party. I know the same is happening in Belgium (I speak regularly with Belgian nationals). Areas of Spain that are most affected by immigration have voted for further right parties. So I know this isn't true.

> Re 'free speech suppression' I'm really not sure what you're aiming at.

Just look up the hate speech laws enacted throughout Europe and in the UK and some of the cases that have been prosecuted. We do not have a right to the free speech in the UK and the majority of Europe doesn't either.
It's not a hypothetical, it's here in Node 23: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/typescript.html#typescrip....
Had a quick look but I was surprised to see using a Set.

Personally I use a plain string union. If I need to lookup a value based on that I’ll usually create a record (which is just a stricter object). Typescript will error if I tried to add a duplicate.

This is all enforced at build time, whereas using a Set only happens at runtime.

type Fruit = ‘apple’ | ‘banana’;

const lookup: Record<Fruit, string> = { ‘apple’: ‘OK’, ‘banana’: ‘Meh’ }

Unions are a more more universal syntax than enums.

It isn’t forced to be a 1:1 map of string to string; I’ll often use string to React components which is really nice for lots of conditional rendering.

On a slightly related topic, I also feel that the ‘type’ keyword is far more useful and preferable than ‘interface’. [1]

That is one subset of immigration crime that is rightly frown upon and can be completely avoided abolition of the country borders concept that was introduced in the last 100 years or less. Want to help people in need? Instead of confining them into areas and then impose restriction on those and give some of them some money, help those in need. Or don't help, but at least don't pretend that you are bringing justice to the world without addressing the core problems.
