No, moving definitely works. I can almost predict when my sciatica pain will be coming - usually when I work long hours sitting and don't do enough movement. I struggle to be more active than just going to the gym. I think we - those w

Yeah can confirm. I try to keep it low but then pain lingers for days and cumulatively over the days most probably I took as much as I should have taken in stating few days already.

No I am basically saying it's human nature - sticking to their own group, having biases, being racist. You were trying to make it some kind of Indian trait. We can always try to fight against all the creeping racism and biases, legally

American immigration has functioned this way for years. Where do you think Little Italy or the Greek sections of town originated? This is how immigrants have behaved for centuries, it's not exclusively a phenomenon among people of colo

Yes! It basically means you go full on freelance or just stay put with whatever job you have. I wanted to try freelancing before I quite my full time job but it's not that easy legally.

I did interview for them and got rejected. The job was interesting but should consider myself lucky that I didn't get it.

Yeah I was in the same boat coming from classical ML. I am just doing MLOps/DE these days. Although I have been down levelled to almost junior level after having 10+ years of experience. Struggling a bit with being treated like a junio

They could have just gone to Switzerland and Germany would have been nearby! Also you get Germand and French speakers! So easy to jump between France and Germany.

I don't think people understood the joke since they might not know what Rundfunkbeitrag is! Everyone outside of German has to face death and taxes. In Germany you face death, taxes and Rundfunkbeitrag.

I tried using PDM at my new work place and gave up. I had weird issues and since I had used poetry before, I switched to it. Poetry just works out of the box these days.

Calling it awfully low is bit of stretch. I would have expected the top 10% to be higher but median not that different. I suppose HN attracts Crème de la Crème of German devs who might be earning higher because these numbers look quite alri

The precedent has been set by ClosedAI. They don't even talk about number of parameters. That's the most disturbing aspect of this action. Imagine Google starts enforcing its patents.
