Something I haven't yet seen mentioned, but that is going through my mind. To me, it doesn't even seem like OpenAI got any better at producing GenAI images. Instead, it seems to me like they now simply removed a whole bunch of gua

I have a question that maybe someone here knows. It has been noted multiple times in the comments here that at this point, one should just use tokio as the async runtime. (From my limited experience, I agree) The async Rust book [0] says th

Here are some notes I recently found online on this by simonw: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Oct/23/datasette-gunicorn/#be... . It seems to me like they removed the warning on SQLite, so I guess they tes

Is this for sure all paid with tax money? Here in the alps, if you have an injury hiking and need a helicopter ride then you are required to pay for the ride (normally a few thousand euros). I assume it's the same if you're lost.

> One of the points of all of this is to reduce the risk of something like FTX happening. That's why those guys are in the Bahamas, not in Germany. You cannot possibly be serious. Wirecard happened only two years ago. So, while the

I think the other commenters here really don't get what you mean or have never been to a retirement home. For people that really don't understand how this is not a good example: retirement homes reek of death. Even if you yourself

Are you really sure that is the case here? I think everyone that starts working with git is a bit hung up by its complexity at least for a year, if not more. It seems to me that, as it should be, every professional SW dev has managed to wor

An ML, like SML or OCaml? Neither of these has any better tooling. Really the only viable candidate would be F#, no?

This is actually not such a good example I think. A better example would be that you have a small improvement to an existing algorithm, but you know that another group across the globe is also working on/with that algorithm and maybe t

You do realize that it's the exact same way in the EU, if not worse? In the EU, a company can't even hire you if you're from another EU country where your company doesn't also have a seat there...

> During undergrad, I found I rarely reviewed my class notes, and when I did they weren’t very helpful. That's interesting, because I almost wanted to make the exact opposite point. I'm actually right now in the process of revi

Tangentially related, but has anyone here read his other book, "Creativity: The Psychology of Discovery and Invention". I loved "Flow" (his main book) so I wanted to read something else from him, but somehow it was just

But... what the OP writes are strong conventions, no? Coming from Spring or Java EE: > implementations that could literally be a lambda function (on receive message, write row into DB) are a festival of multiple tiers of objects, mappers

This is what I like about it so much (I'm currently reading it)! I'm by no means a fan of Adam Sandler, and also not so sure that he would be the best modern analogy, but in my opinion, the book gives the vibe of a very early, wri
