Even when using google docs, I dropped the paper format, and at that point it's better to edit/read in a richer editor like Confluence which has better support for interactive widgets, expand zones, code blocks, etc. It's als

If we're going to give anecdotal data, when I lived in NYC I was hired as an H1B, and every single other H1B I knew was paid way more than the median wage. But these were companies not trying to abuse the system. I do not doubt that th

I like the idea, but also it wouldn't feel fair for some services that I use like Twitch, or some cooking websites. I get that they sometimes really abuse all that stuff, but also I feel like they deserve some kind of compensation.

Maybe they're cranking out AI SaaS products to see what sticks. I was going to say low effort, but it's not zero effort and does offer some kind of service. I could have used some AI help for my kitchen design, I hated the process

It's cool conceptually, but I think for family I haven't known, for family I have known and is aging/deceased that would make me pretty sad so I probably wouldn't use it.

That's a robot's take. You can have days where you slept poorly or need a nap to get back on track or just lack motivation. Personally I try to take on tasks that don't require as much brainpower. If I'm really too tired

I think it's interesting to read people voicing concerns and limitations of the projects in the comments (that's why I came to read them), but I was hoping more people would be excited about the idea. Even if it doesn't work

Didn't they rewrite some of Temporal's core in rust?

by troebr 2y ago
They did use Temporal at Netflix, they gave a couple presentations 2 years ago. I think this is very much not-Temporal because it relies on a DSL instead of workflow as code. I don't know if it's a scale-thing, I'm not a work

I found out about Temporal 2+y ago now and were early adopters of their cloud. It's a bit of a paradigm shift when you start using it, but it is amazing at solving some types of problems in a very simple manner. There are some trade-of

Maybe your question is worth its own thread. Your biggest hurdle will be immigrating to the US. As far as I know the best way to manage that would be to finish your studies in the US. If you're from Canada I believe getting a visa is e

Oof. This should be more like a media key than a required key. I view it like a "Volume up/down" key, it's nice but not essential. Although it's probably much less useful than a volume key.

I miss Gerrit from my last job. Stacked PRs on Github are horrible. Lots of problems stem from that: because stacked PRs are painful, people make large PRs, because the PRs are large, they take a long time to merge, because they take a long

My biggest expense being remote is that I need an extra room for my office. Besides that, that would probably be heating in winter and electricity, but these are small compared to the cost of an extra room.
