Predictably people are moving back to SMS for notifications. Not as nice for linking to your app but once the user opts in you don't have to deal with the Apple/Google complexity.

French immigration is currently allowing remote workers on the one year visitor visa, so long as your company doesn't have a presence in France. Basically, as long as you are not doing business in France or taking a job from a local th

Senator Wyden has been pretty focused on it. I think it's going to take some changes in Congress before it happens though.

You're moving the goalposts on his poor analogy :) Most of the trees do just fine, and these nurseries will typically provide a warranty.

On the contrary, you can solve the tree problem with money. There are nurseries that sell mature trees -- most people though will not choose to spend $20k on a tree.

It's a strategy that's only really available to the ultra wealthy, because the banks are willing to give them a bespoke loan with a much lower interest rate that's payable after they die. There's also a complex trust set

Another tangent that I didn't see in the thread is that the Supreme Court just confirmed a ruling that LLM created art isn't copyrightable since the author must be human for copyright to apply. If the new code was generated entire

I'm working on a language learning framework based on the ideas of comprehensible input and spaced repetition learning. The idea is you take a book you want to read, and it gets translated but also rewritten to match your current learn

A lot of backwards looping is a remnant of efficient loops in programming days of yore - you compare your iterator to 0 each time, which is slightly more efficient than comparing to another variable.

We've been using Dato for 5 years or so - a bit of a weird use case probably, we're driving configuration of our internal EHR with it. But it is very nice for creating a structured set of data models and then you've got a nic

As an actual customer, I have the opposite reaction. They are doing well and that gives me peace of mind.

First time hearing of it. At first glance it looks more complicated than DBOS, not easier. DBOS is just a library and doesn't require a special DSL. Also we use node which it Little horse doesn't seem to support.

We recently started using DBOS for durable execution - it's much easier to integrate than Temporal and it Just Uses Postgres(tm), which is nice.

I looked at lustre for a recent project and it seems very nice. But the ecosystem is pretty small yet (I could find no examples of auth, for one), so I ended up going with liveview. I'm hoping it succeeds and gets bigger because I real

You don't have to be rich to move to Europe. The cost of living in most European countries is less than the USA (which you would expect, given their lower salaries).

I don't know about Thailand, but in France you can apply to join their healthcare system after 3 months. In the meantime you must have private insurance but it's a fraction of what it is here.

Early on in the container hype cycle we decided to convert some of our services from VMs to ECS. It was easy to manage and the container build times were so much better than AMI build times. Some time down the road we got acquired, and the

Since he didn't graft, the fruit from the trees he planted would have mostly been unpleasant to eat. But still fit to ferment alcohol from, or feed to livestock.

I'm merely pointing out that internet rumors about his death are false. I have no idea if he followed his own diet or if his diet is healthy or not, but if you have references to studies this thread is sorely lacking.
