South Korea also has really beautiful landscapes. I wish it was possible to explore the northern part. Maybe one day.

Location based pay adjustments will stop being a thing when competition for remote workers will justify it. Companies want location-based pay because they can get away with it: either they think office-first will return, or they think more

Busy talking to people, splitting work into issues, writing the issues to put on project boards, finding which project board to use, searching for which issue I'm working on, searching for which project board I put it in, updating pro

Very interesting read in the README. It's a bit scary, so I'm not sure I'd use this in a real program, but I learned some cool stuff reading the description!

Sounds like the beginning of "Accelerando" as we're slowly starting to turn our vicinity into a Matrioshka brain.

I also wish the US used grams, that'd be pretty fair.

I didn't mention any specific distro. However, lots of ppl use ubuntu as a base image, or other non-slim images. It's not what I do but it's a reality.

There's no difference between a 1000MB or 10MB image, aside from how much time it takes to download new versions and how much disk space it uses.

Developing apps in Go is not a high productivity experience, compared to Rails or Django. The framework ecosystem isn't comparable, and you DIY a lot of stuff. I'm saying this in complete self contradiction: my current stack is Ne

It's mandatory if you finance the car. And car loan rates are pretty low, so it often makes sense to take one (including the insurance) even if you could buy in cash.

I'd say (almost) everybody is self-actualizing as a primary activity.

Maybe or maybe not. Given that they're basically picking a very similar recipe from the economical development playbook, I wouldn't be surprised if they arrive at a similar outcome. And South Korea was ran by violent dictarors unt

If you look at Japan and Korea who took the same approach of "cheap specialized labour", they both pivoted to high quality, and more innovative once they caught up. I have no doubt China will do the same, but at much larger scale.

Here's why I think the author is interesting. Their writing style is easy to read, flows well, is funny, and brings up and applies interesting concepts. And here's why your comment is interesting: in calling the author a pseudo-in

Damn, that article resonates a little bit too well with today. And your quote is spot on with regard to a yet unformed set of ideas that I'm struggling to reconcile.

I couldn't grasp anything actionable from this, aside from believing the author should take a step back from the last 12 month's circumstances. Some points appear to be the start of a line of thoughts that could expand to be usefu

I think most people outside the US don't actually care that much about US visa/immigration policies, and care more about US relations and influence over their own country/neighbors, and the occasional "wow this is crazy,

Temporary emergency measures don't make a totalitarian government. For that matter, similar measures were temporarily taken and then rescinded in the past; proof of non-totalitarianism. Further proof is minority governments and recent

Interesting point I hadn't considered, but in the face of it, Occam's razor makes me more inclined to believe this isn't a cross-Big Tech conspiracy and more in reaction to the bad press following the Capitol events.

Canada has restrictions on free speech that prevent things like saying hateful stuff. And so far Canada looks pretty democratic and fair to me. Have a read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_expression_in_Can..

They would have done it sooner if it was politically motivated, as opposed to being in reaction to breach of their ToS.

Lack of a pedestrian/bike path on the Bay bridge is also mind bogglingly dumb.

It's just a guess but I don't believe your calculus holds for countries that can't produce or cheaply import from regions like Canada/USA. The case I have top of mind is Korea, which has very little arable land and can o

I got most of my jobs this way. It becomes easier later as your network grows and can vouch for you. If you don't have an existing network to help introduce you, find some people working where you're interested, contribute helpful

I've had a very strangely similar path, however I still haven't given up on my teenage dreams: call me delusional! I like to think the military gave me the will strength to push until I get some (imperfect) version of what I want,
