The short term rental bit seems like a hand grenade waiting to go off... Cool story, but you have to wonder what happens when gov contracts slip or become less plentiful. Maybe I just don't have the risk tolerance.

The date on the contract is for completion when gov accountants cleared the transaction in full (this is how these contracts work) and lines up with the timeline for Nordstream being blown up. This is a company with clear ties to special f

Until it's possible to physically link a passkey to a device like a yubikey I see no security "benefit" to giving single permissioned access to credentials to large tech companies. It's a single point of failure even wo

Wow, that's insane. Does this kind of search and seizure also apply to private residences? Also, curious how this would impede every day life for someone who spoke passable french but worked remote for a US company? In my estimation

I couldn't agree more. I have friends who have fought in the region as well as friends in europe and both seem to espouse an opinion that Ukraine is 1) losing the battle and 2) run by despots.

Riding an electric unicycle. This was one of the first truly hard and fully unintuitive "physical" things I taught myself over the course of about a month in 2019. At the time I was living in New York City and youtube kept showing

Is it really that bad? I've spent about a month per year there and I wasn't too bothered.

Could not agree more! There are smart ways to leverage VC $$ without losing your shirt. I'd rather buy a car wash business from a boomer with a bank loan than risk my own time with a non VC funded startup.

Let's not forget the single largest "accidental" release of methane in recorded history [0]. Which is now solidly shown to have been strongly influenced by American interests... via DoD payments of 4.75 Million to Atlantic

Real estate in Montreal is strikingly affordable given the build quality and location. I'm not sure I'll every quite understand it relative to residential real estate in New York or Austin. It's insane that for a paltry $400

Bard and WizardLM. Generally, Bard is far superior when it comes to querying the internet for raw information - ChatGPT excels at prose / written content that sounds more human and less robotic.

Ukraine isn't even close to "winning" anything. Diplomacy has been fragrantly ignored by the west and ukraine. I dislike russia and yes Putin IS a thug, however there is no metric that indicates ukraine is winning or that a

I fear that political powers (both parties) are already laying the groundwork to make the Ukraine war the next Iraq. If this actually comes to fruition I can't say I still see much benefit to living in the US.

Ukraine joining NATO is a sure guarantee of WWIII. Putin is a clown, yes - but allowing Ukraine to join NATO would only reinforce the fact that anything the US says in regards to foreign policy in Eastern Europe cannot be taken seriously a

There are plenty of other ways to exit that don't involve an IPO. Acquisition, selling shares on secondary markets or privately etc... Doing VC the wrong way can make your life hell, but taking all the risk yourself and bootstrapping

I've been using GPT4 for this since the beginning - ironically a large majority of AWS documentation has been machine generated since 2018. Circa 2019 the entire exlixir API for AWS was machine generated. Asking GPT4 is also consisten

It seems like these days unless you have 8yrs of experience it's impossible to even be considered for these interviews. Once you get them, unless you've been perpetually practicing for a year or more the odds you pass are slim to

Everything should be digitized in case we can't control ethnic / religious violence. Riots in France are a great example of how societal collapse or cultural experiments can lead to a mass destruction of precious cultural heritag

This seems wildly out of reach even for people who make good money as SWE's. I agree, being self taught is kind of a misnomer. I've hired PHD students to teach me maths concepts I forgot that I know I'd have no idea how to t

Why is this better than a normal k8's distribution or just buying vm's from Amazon for someone who doesn't need high security or other boutique features?

It's like an on prem AWS for devs. I don't understand the use case but the hardware is cool.

It's such a beautiful encapsulation of the minecraft moment. Sad to see Notch unravel but clearly he has his own demons to contend with.

The minecraft story arc is quite a cathartic one for me as a kid in middle school / high school seeing it grow and having quite a connection with the game through friends. The story of its creators is quite sad, C418's music was a

As I've found, PM roles are actually far less abundant than you'd think. In most cases, 3-5yrs of exp is expected. Wish your friend luck with their job search.

Pretty dismal. Fortunately, a friend of mine needed dev help with his growth stage company so I've been keeping the lights on contracting and sort of price gouging my hourly rate. That said, I've really been hoping to land another

Has anyone here transitioned into an ai dev adjacent role, akin to something a bit more involved than "prompt engineering" potentially the "product eng" equivalent of AI?
