Great article. I prefer the react model over the other models. Now it'd be good to know, with every framework, which of these it implements.

From that point of view nothing that requires human input is free. Which is true in a sense, people are using free to mean free to use, not free to improve.

Not really an anecdote, strictly, just a single point of evidence.

It can't be that good, I gave it some posts I wrote before llms were a thing and it gave them all 60%+ of the content as written by AI.

There are no toy stores close to me in New Zealand any more, or even a long drive away. There used to be two small ones, they were both great but never really that busy. The local cash and carry also used to have a toy section - it was grea

All democratic capitalist societies have had wealth redistribution, including the USA. Sharing wealth doesn't necessarily mean communism. It can be larger share of profits to workers, or post profit via taxes. It seems like a lot of pl

If this were true then Russia would have won the war in Ukraine already.

I like your take and ideas. Not sure about capped income because that seems like a reward for the capital owning class. I've seen the phenomena of people moving and redoing the same tech idea multiple times. I'm pretty convinced t

The article is a lot more nuanced than the title or what most folks are discussing in comments. France has politicians voting in both directions and thus far the "keep encryption and enshrine it in law" side is ahead slightly. &gt

I admit I don't know a huge amount about the history of sanctions. I would think it's a relatively modern phenomenon. In any case, yes I'd agree that people aren't going to cite them as a direct cause. Retrospectively th

The mistake that we seem to see repeatedly is blindness to adaptation. Russia's economy would have collapsed had the Russian government carried on exactly as things were before sanctions. No economy will really truly collapse while the

> In NZ roads are paid by taxes earmarked for that. It would be better to say that all of the money from road use and petrol taxes are spent on the roads. Those taxes don't actually cover the cost of maintaining the road system. At

New Zealand appears to be missing from the map. Hard to know in this case if we're missing for the usual reason or because we have no food production gap.

As a millennial, the TV show with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry was played when I was a kid, and I've rewatched it several times as an adult and read a few of the books. Our kids have watched the show with us too. I'm currently tryi

My first job was VB6 and I really enjoyed working on it. It was pretty late in it's life - .NET had just come out when I started. The existing program I was working on was pretty complex though. I spent a year rewriting the database la

I used it for the Azure credits. My "startup" only needed a single instance so I really didn't spend many of them. I tried to get into the longer program but the form was broken in typical Microsoft fashion and kept looping o

What I've suggested is the alternative. What we're going to get is kids banned from social media altogether. And I'm not 100% against that because my kids didn't really use it because we introduced it gently while talkin

Engage with your kids. Don't give them personal devices until they're a bit older. Monitor their usage properly with your own senses, not with "parental controls". Talk to them about what they do. If they're minded

After reading your comment I did read up on the Gripen. Seems very interesting. Procurement is about the same as the F-35 but the running costs are about 1/4 so over its expected lifetime it'll be considerably cheaper. On the proc

We don't need to take sides though. It's fairly easy to find some of the papers and whether they were referenced in the Benn Jordan video or not, and whether they say what he says or the article author says. I have generally enjoy

Ok? My point wasn't that they don't exist, I was just pointing out that anecdata from one person who is deeply into a group where it's a thing has large counter points. And I thought my example worth mentioning because my gro

I don't think numbeo can be a good source, it seems to be self reported metrics. I asked it for comparison of NZ to USA and it told me that NZ was about the same or worse on most numbers. But actual crime rates are lower in NZ. The mur

I don't know any. I know a couple of people who had ideas that became bigger startups, but only 1 who was a friend rather than via networking. And I know a few people who did try the small saas or other small software based business bu

The question it raises is if this is the fake surge, the one we see, what is the real one we don't see? Renewable energy comes to mind. Robotics too but maybe that's too tied up with AI.

I went to Bin Inn in Masterton NZ because it was supposedly where you could recycle a certain brand of glass jar. The guy running the place clearly had no idea what I was talking about but took them anyway because he was nuts. I was looking

A lot of folks here will be startup types though, and while there is the idea that you'll make it big, I think day to day people work at startups for the satisfaction.

We have a similar style of react state manager that we use at Aha! https://github.com/aha-app/mvc I think the intent is very similar even though there are some structural differences: move the state and state logic out

Mine was about $1500NZD. That didn't seem like a big outlay when redoing the whole kitchen for nearly $60k.
