   Doesn't much of South America have insane import taxes? They'd have to solve that first.

   I guess we can take solace in GPT-3 not creating novel solutions, but rather doing things we already know how to do?

   I know Java and Erlang ecosystems have been big on this at times (Hazelcast, mnesia). When are these the appropriate architectural choice, if ever? Definitely fun/cool tech, I just don't understand how pragmatic it is.

   The answer to both is "it's boring".

   I agree with you 100%. It's the thing I miss most when not writing Rust. I will say that it as a feature alone isn't a good enough reason for me to write Rust, though!

   I'm technical and I still prefer WYSIWYG for writing documents. I want it to be easy for me to pull in rich content (images, info boxes, column formatting) It's ok to be technical and not enjoy markdown, heh.

   I'm 30. I have been unmedicated for 22 years, and finally went back to address it just a month ago. I had many fears as you with regards to medication. Is needing it a weakness? Is it going to change who I am? The first time I took one

    I just use reader//req. Code is instantly easier to read for me personally and no time has been wasted. It's all preference, of course.

    Apart from the kids piece (none yet), your experience matches mine to the T. I've found that management has left me in a better place of balance. Less hyperfocus (on the occasions it can be useful), but also better able to do the long

    I think you want some golang. Gets out of your way, can compile it to any target from anywhere. Compiles blazing fast.

    I love the ambience of cafes. People, aromas, usually well-lit (and not by moody halogens). Very energizing. It's basically the only place I can muster the energy learning new programming-related things (not an IC anymore).

    Yeah, and I think that's fair re: licensing. Curious to see how it pans out. Also, re: your edit, not quite. They require you to release modified source under certain conditions if you make modifications to it. If everybody had to rele

    If their explicit goal is having it taken down, and the law gives them explicit ability to do so, why would they waste the time? A DMCA isn't rude, it's just a strictly outlined process.

    Medium sized companies (100-300 engineers) usually have really excellent work life balance in my experience. Remote work has made meetings a bit trickier - try to find an employer who aims to have folk in nearby timezones. This is definitel

    Not being facetious here - if they have notable github projects, why do you want a new feature versus viewing or talking through something they've already developed in one of them? Why is the novelty important? The shared coding screen

    "Insist on buying organic" is a big qualifier. That food truck isn't cooking organic. I purchase meat in Chinatown on the regular for remarkably good prices.
