Thanks! Just to make sure I understand your suggestion correctly: you mean you input your earnings and age of retirement and the tool tells you how much you should spend to use up all of your money by the time you are dead? Might be nice, b

It's on my todo to implement this in some form, but not accounted for yet. But you can reduce the returns percentage on your investments to account for it. Note though that pension tax relief also isn't accounted for in the number

True. But I would say there is a place for simpler tools too, and that is what I aim to build with this calculator. Plus you can go a long a way to factoring in big life changes even with the simple inputs currently provided. Btw did you mi

SecretLab Titan Evo (with fabric instead of leather), great chairs. I also got their standing desk which is very nice.

Does this mean that the highest any new "hot pepper" can ever get to is 16m Scoville?

Yeah, I do. It's what ultimately discouraged me from using the language. They are keeping a tight grip on Mojo, they may promise open sourcing it, but that didn't stop them from doing things like preventing an online repl for Mojo

For what it's worth, I think what Mojo does do better is that it's trying to be a better Python. Chapel's syntax immediately discourages me from using it.

At this point is there any disadvantage to legislating that all companies should share a transparency report where they list their levels + avg, min, max, median salaries for each level?

GitHub issues. I have a repo called `me` and I create issues in it. It all revolves around labels, and I store just about everything there, from lists of web design inspiration to random ideas I come up with (each labelled appropriately, in

This was my first thought. How sure are we that their model isn't just over-fitting and finding letters that aren't really there?

Nice, looks really good!

Interesting, I think Replit can bring a lot to this. I did a little experiment where I asked my partner to use ChatGPT to write a Python script to solve a file comparison task, the biggest challenge was the tooling (VS Code, terminal, etc),

I don’t see it as self promotion. Also regarding hand cranking: pedalling is almost surely far less strenuous and more efficient

Now can we get Team Fortress 2.5? (I only say 2.5 because of Valve's allergy to the number 3)

Performance is definitely an issue here, this is on an M1 MacBook with Chrome and it's quite choppy.

Until we see successful video games/movies/tv shows built using 100% generative art I will remain sceptical that this will happen. What's more likely is that generative AI art will be its own category like digital art, where

It’s crazy how many interesting things you can find when scraping prices of services and products online (most of the time tricks that aim to screw the customer). I think it’s time the EU legislates that companies provide pricing data via a

What would be the point in a dual-listing? How does one actually work?

Warning for those considering this: I got banned from Reddit for scraping it. I was nice enough to include my username in the user agent (I foolishly thought they would be nice and give me a warning instead of straight up banning my 10+ yea

I’m really excited about Mojo, but can’t help but feel like Modular’s insistence to register for the download is a red flag for how they will handle Mojo development. It leaves a bit of a bad impression.

Anyone know why it was called the "Connexion" in the UK and not the "Connection"?

Interesting observation. Perhaps it is just a result of how London-centric the UK is.

And as a FB employee gets private healthcare as a perk and would also get it in the US. The US comp is much higher than the UK's even taking into account healthcare.

Pattern matching is definitely not a requirement for a language to be good for writing compilers in.
