I've also hit on doing this as well. I find it really helps to organize my thoughts, uncover edge cases, etc before I start to write code. Then I might start sketching the implementation with function signatures docs, types, loops and

I don't think you'd even feel a magnitude 2 quake. Maybe it's different in such a tall building or maybe it was stronger in this area.

They don't even matter when you're poor. We got rid of pennies in Canada. Prices are the same, but the final bill at the till is rounded to the nearest nickel. You don't lose anything, just the weight. I'd like to see ni

Just as crazy is that we still have the penny. Worth less than the metal it's made out of. If you see it in the street, you leave it there. When you get home you empty the change from your pockets, and the pennies just end up taking up

Rust doesn't help with implementing low level primitives like this, you'd have to use unsafe code.

We don't know much, but I do think we know enough to say it's unlikely. We've never seen any evidence for intelligent life outside of Earth. Using Bayesian logic, that gives pretty good odds in favor of it being of natural or

I agree it's very unlikely that it's something of artificial origin, but if it's just a rock it's far from uninteresting. It would be the first material recovered from outside our own solar system. It could be surprising

I remember paying $120 for a letter from Panama to the US via Fedex almost 10 years ago. And Fedex has a decent presence in Panama. It's not cheap by any means in one-off scenarios.

It is not very effective from what I've seen. They would have been better off contracting with Pfizer or other Western companies that had effective vaccines. Cheap made in China crap that doesn't work. I kid, sort of.

Even at current prices he has millions of dollars in stock. People think in illogical ways, but I feel the reason must have been more than just financial.

The solution is relatively simple, look for a job that doesn't do location based pay. Out of 8 offers I recieved earlier this year, three had location based pay, and I politely declined all three (ok, maybe with a little contempt in my

I've watched crypto for years with interest, I've worked in the field, speculated in it with my savings, used it for international transfers, spent it, etc. That is to say I'm not some armchair critic. I find myself lately vi

I haven't tried copilot in languages less opinionated about style, so I'm not sure how well it handles that case. In Python, TypeScript, and rust it seems to work well. In any case I use auto format on save, so that fixes some of

It's really more like a smarter autocomplete. I haven't tried it on a third party API yet, we don't use many at work. I work in a startup on a Python and TypeScript code base. To give an example, last night I was creating a u

I don't think UBI can work. I love the idea of it, but as soon as you have a democracy and state provided income, it's too easy to vote yourself a raise. Look at countries like Argentina, Spain, Greece, Venezuela, where there are

As a new user of copilot for the last three months, I can't disagree more. I was initially skeptical, and I have noticed it often produces code that looks good but is wrong. However, it still saves me enough time each day to pay for th

At those rates, it's a fantastic career. However, compared to software most careers fall short. I feel incredibly lucky that I chose software and that I love it. I was intentional about it, in that I chose software from when I was a te

We're in no danger of that even over ridiculous timescales.

These are owners, not employees. Basically contractors that manage all the subcontracting in a construction project. It can be physically exhausting work, and long hours for sure. Still, it's impressive that they can pull in those kind

It's definately not true. In Vancouver, Canada where there's been a bull market in housing for over thirty years straight, builders make a pretty good living. I've met some earning 250-400k a year. As a software engineer, I f

That's horrific. The crazy thing is I think you might be serious and not trolling. It's like something out of a Dilbert comic. Typing is good, anyplace you can get the computer to check more of your work - the better. There are pr

I was skeptical of copilot, but since trying it for two months, I'm really impressed. It's a smarter auto complete. For $10/month it pays for itself in one day. You have to be careful with the output it produces, as it often

Indeed. The only way this doesn't happen is that no subgroups continue to reproduce beyond the replacement rate. I think that's highly unlikely. We can see certain religious groups in developed countries that have way more than 2.
