   Yes, I want to solve the puzzle of my life but I can't. It is a very logical process which consumes all my time.

   I learned to meditate (doing this with ADHD was really difficult, but I persevered). Pushing myself to actually meditate in the midst of a dark spiral is another story. Most of the time I absolutely can't.

   Oh, that's exactly where I think, and think, and think in spirals. I suppose I am at my 10 hours of phone screentime per day just not to fall in this dark thoughts spiral.

   I am a software engineer who writes 80-90% code with AI (sorry, can't ignore the productivity boost), and I mostly agree with this sentiment. I found out very early that under no circumstances you may have the code you don't under

   It is not freeloading, but correspondingly you cannot demand anything from a gifter. Not even "could you please look at it". They might. Or they may ignore you. Or they may delete their repo and go away to the wild. Up to them.

   That's a good argument, thank you. Open source authors are even more heroic with this.

   Don't like something? Fork and fix. Unhappy with a maintainer? Fork and maintain it yourself. Some open source code creates issues in your project? Fix it and try to upstream. Upstream is not accepted? Fork and announce the fix. Unpaid

   Well, naturally. I like my Model 3. It is a fantastic car. Charging infrastructure is bar none. Price is unbeatable. No range anxiety. But of course, were I choosing a car to buy today, I would have never bought it. That would be akin to do

    Can't turn this around. We remember all he did. The only way to turn it around would be to resign as Tesla CEO.

    Using irregular timesteps _might_ not be a bad idea if you know what you are doing (but probably not for the usual kinematic simulations). See Dynamic Monte Carlo, Gillespie algorithm, First Reaction method etc (these are mostly the same th

    If you can afford rare, batched updates, it sucks much less. Anyway, yes, if your data is highly mutable, or you cannot do batch writes, then yes, Clickhouse is a wrong choice. Otherwise... it is _really_ hard to ignore 50x (or more) speedu

    Can I have the subscription? LinkedIn is famously restrictive in their APIs. I can't even download all emails of my own contacts.

    I mostly need analytics, all data is immutable and append-only.

    When I get back from Clickhouse to Postgres, I am always shocked. Like, what it is doing for some minutes importing this 20G dump? Shouldn't it take seconds?

    Hey, what is visible to humans, visible for everyone. Every information you made public is public. Where's privacy in this?

    What are you, reading all this? LinkedIn is a tool for introductions and cold emails, and it works great as such. Everything else is purely decorative.

    Yes, it is still alive, it still works great, and if you want something open source, there's Lazarus which is nearly as good.

    So, just like Delphi? (I wonder if somebody ported Delphi / Lazarus to WASM)

    Impressive! Can you share the design to the Ukrainians? [be careful, so it won't leak anywhere else]. 3 hours loitering can mean a lot on a battlefield.

    Well, are you ready to live on a low middle class salary of a European software engineer? It is really low middle class. The middle middle here would be a bank clerk, and upper middle — a lawyer or a surgeon. This is not coincidental.

    The amount of debt you are allowed to take and the abundance of money to invest in new projects are in direct proportion to the competitiveness of the jurisdiction, i.e. business-friendly environment. EU is not a business-friendly environme

    And what would be the reason? I am genuinely interested. Also, are there viable not "consumer" AI companies here? Only Mistral seems to train foundation models, and good for them, however, as of now they are absolutely not SOTA.
