Perhaps, but Vienna has better QoL so maybe it balances out at this level. If you want to just maximize income, there are better places for that than Amsterdam.

Pretty normal senior contractor rate in London.

The worst part is really the unclear procedure. If they set out terms that say they'll give me 4 weeks to migrate projects they don't like off the platform, with n email reminders in between, then that's not ideal but fine.

Why does this post exist? I assume because of the Copilot story that's also trending and the subsequent loss of trust. Not sure if Github has serious alternatives, but the desire to move is not for 'nothing'.

I _can_ do the same with Rust, doesn't mean it's "the language I reach for" for making e.g. a website. Because the tooling, ergonomics, hireability factor, etc. are still very harshly against it. Same with Swift, but I&

> Swift is designed to be the language you reach for at every layer of the software stack. It's a nice lang for sure, but this will never be true with the way things are. Such wasted opportunity by Apple.

It's an option but I can't really take the platform seriously when the owner removes content based on his personal whims. He currently removes crypto projects because of their 'social ills'. I don't work on crypto

Not being funny but I only ever see Dan Brown mentioned in a mocking tone. I've genuinely no idea, but are the books actually good in some sense?

Codeberg doesn't support non OSS and I'd rather just have one 'git' thing I have to know for both OSS and private work. So it's not a great option, IMO. Self-hosting also for other reasons. I'm not sure there

It might or might not be legal, but it seems materially worse to screw over your direct customers than to violate the social-contracty nature of copyright law. But hey ho if you're not paying then you're the product, as ever was.

Actually that's probably really good for GDP, just not over the kind of time periods an individual human deals with or cares about. > We've tied our incentives to a structure which is not in alignment with continued survival. T

The original internet wasn't about that at all, it was just in limbo while people were figuring out what it was going to be. It wasn't developed or optimized enough to be _anything_.

There are so many failures in microservices that just can't happen with a local binary. Inter-service communication over network is a big one with a failure rate orders of magnitude higher than running a binary on the same machine. T

I just don't believe even a person with a poor understanding of the market or the underlying technology tosses out bets so casually based only on a name, in the sense that they believe 'oh wow this is actually AGI, I should buy it

Oh, my non-technical boss agrees with me already. It's actually the engineers who've convinced themselves it's a good setup. Nice guys but very unwilling to change. Seems they're quite happy to have become 'exper

> Of course people don't realize that, and people will buy ARM stock thinking they've cracked AGI. Doesn't seem like a very credible assertion. Picking stocks in this way would remove you from the market pretty quickly.

There are just some things that are unsolved. For example, a smart contract can't act as an oracle for many types of external event. There's no way around that. Doesn't mean it's not valuable to make the rest of your

You're expected to do your own research about how it works, who the keyholders are, and what permissions they have. You're free to choose only projects where n=0. If you choose n>0, you have to work out your trust and confid

That's fine. I just see it as heuristics at different levels. In the wider context, generally, markets work well, so people should be 'allowed' to do all of this. After all, you can choose not to use ETH if you think the f

Not really. At a traditional bank I have to trust n people with varying degrees of access. Et ceteris paribus, any reduction in n is an improvement, even if n is not zero. Of course n can be smaller and the specific people less trustworth

Yeah, people who genuinely believe that don't have any problem with smart contracts getting exploited. Of course there are people who _say_ that because it's financially expedient at the time, then change their tune. But both gr

I don't know how this specific thing works, but I don't really see any fundamental problem with mixing and matching. If you believe in the benefits of crypto, then 50% crypto is still possibly better than 0%. It's not like I

Even assuming that's true, I would think that it's probably still end-to-end positive, given just how poor the chat workers must be. It's a bit like how people bemoan sweatshops. Killing the sweatshops just punts those peopl

The worst thing you can think of is relatively wealthy people wasting their largely disposable income to pay much worse off people? Because some other even richer guy takes his cut?
