Government has funded those things way more, but when a rich person runs a museum it's "philanthropy", when the government does it it's a "waste of taxpayer money". There's no reason the government couldn&

They can leave if they want, as long as they pay an exit tax. But personally I think that's bullshit, they'd rather be less rich in France than more rich in Romania. And if you're talking about companies leaving France, then

Yeah that's a great idea. At first it would take a lot of time, which would prompt cities to address the source of crime in the first place instead of just punishing. Unfortunately too many people can't afford to miss a single wor

They would not, they're not even trying to be the same thing. I get that you don't like RSCs, that's fine you're allowed to have that opinion, but you can't justify it by saying it's a CRUD framework. Apples an

Because Rails isn't good at building modern frontend experiences. It's built around static pages. RSCs (and Next) are (going to be) built for dynamic pages. Loading new data from the backend is as simple as editing an ERB template

From this account, you seem very unpleasant to work with. Anger just makes you more angry and bitter, you gain nothing by being this angry, and people who see your comments are hurt by them. You said you keep it private and try to be well b

I had a horrible time trying to convince junior devs that they didn't need to memoize everything. Ended up just quitting rather than work with that shit show of a codebase.

The robot can't do the job. The Robot needs the artist to train. The robot can't train on its own output because it doesn't understand what it's supposed to be drawing. Artists don't need to collaborate with the too

I really appreciate the honesty, and I want to let you know that it's not just you. I personally don't work on AI, but I do feel betrayed by the industry that I felt so positive about in 2010 when I decided to join it. There are n

Very good comment. Amazingly well written. Great job.

Others have already pointed out the lack of empathy in your current, but here's another angle: AI art literally relies on artist's output to train. It's not horses vs the car, it's horses vs a motor that grinds up horses

Artists are literally already being affected by their art being scraped to train these models. According to my artist friends, commissions are down, and there's reports of professional positions being replaced as well. Do you not think

That's true in their native language, but it's common for high status Europeans to use the term expat when speaking English as well. And in my experience, most European immigrants speak English to a conversational level. It's

by amrocha 4y ago
Well yes, going by the dictionary definitions that's true, and I commend you for adopting the immigrant term. I'm an immigrant too, and proud of it. At the same time, it's also clear that the status of the country determines

He repeatedly talks about abandoning his plans to build a life in China. Changing plans when the government decides you're the enemy doesn't invalidate decisions taken before that.

Because US and EU citizens think that "immigrant" is a dirty word for people from poor countries. To all the other people talking about intent to settle or not: read the post. The author lived in China for 20 years and built a fam

Well, I assumed that you're knowledgeable enough to know why people immigrate illegally to the US, so I went with disingenuous. If you don't know then misinformed is the better term. >That's not representative of the whole

Your parents moved here to give you a better life. They most likely sacrificed a way better life they could have led wherever you're from.

by amrocha 4y ago
Yes, the US is more expensive to live in than Mexico or China

by amrocha 4y ago
This is disingenuous. People entering the US illegally are often here in order to provide for their families in other parts of the world, where even high paying careers can't compete with the dollar. It says nothing about their lives h

They don't need to come to an agreement. It's in all their benefit to keep raising prices, so they can keep doing it while knowing that everyone else is also acting in their best interest.

I'm working on an outsourced codebase right now and boy, I wish they hadn't commented their code at all
953.
by amrocha 4y ago
Yep. I rely on a job for income. My boss has leverage over me. I can't go too long without a job. I don't have a say on what the company works on.

You're right, I conflated the two in my head. The jobs they listed are jobs associated with minimum wage, or close to it, in my mind.

We have a lot more in common with the working class than with billionaire CEOs

The comment I was replying to stated that that lifestyle is achievable for traditionally minimum wage (or close to it) jobs as long as you choose to live in a small city though

That kind of life is not achievable on minimum wage, even if you choose to live in a small city

Please stop linking that site. It's wrong in so many ways, starting with the title. They're not fallacies, they're disagreements. Killing a human newborn is immoral because it has the capacity of moral thought, even if at the

Yeah they are. The Russian soldiers most likely didn't ask to be there either. Obviously a rock and a hard place for Ukrainians. That being said, Palantir's business with the US government dwarfs any they might have with the Ukrai

My take is to think about what your work accomplishes beyond the surface level.
