Did you read a different article than me? The linked article is 3/4 about some history and rationale before it actually tells you what they build. It's like those pesky recipe blogs that tell you about the authors childhood, when

Users of "real programming languages" have peddled this narrative for decades. They are so mature and everything JS is just child's play...

How come it's okay for a company to say they don't give me a raise for increased costs of living, but it's okay for a company to pay less, because I live in an area with lower costs of living?

That whole text sounds like he gave up. Like, Svelte isn't better than any alternative in a meaningful way, he's just doing it because he wants to.

I read the acknowledgements in some of his books and found him rather dislikeable.

I read Bobiverse which was pretty good, at least I liked all but the last book. Thanks!

Hm... I didn't like Cixin or Crichton.

I guess! But I was already blown away by Bun's improvements over Node.

That sounds cool. Thanks!

Haha, I already read Blindsight

Pretty awesome book. Would be cool if someone could recommend sci-fi that equally good.

Faster than Bun? Not bad!

No idea. It seems to me that neurotypical people don't have that issue. Then again, I don't think I'm close enough to any neurotypical person to judge that.

"..how people close to me feel about it" People I care are usually one of the reasons, I forget about excessively using media. So, they don't suffer from it. "..how often it squeezes out other worthwhile and important

I'm a writer, musician, software engineer, etc. I have all these vocations and avocations available at my fingertips, they just don't always feel interesting.

21% of men with ADHD and 13% of women with ADHD VS 9% of men without ADHD and 5% of women without ADHD Fair enough, more than double. However, not the majority of the people with ADHD, so it could still be a ADHD-relates boredom problem and

At least it feels like that for me. I tend to eat more unhealthy food when I'm bored or depressed, but the moment I have an interesting task, I forget to eat the whole day.

I'm diagnosed with ADHD and never had the impulse to take drugs. I even forget to take my meds sometimes.

All good points, thank you. However, isn't psychological or physic strain also a part of addiction? I don't feel bad while doing it and I don't feel bad while not doing it (just bored).

I tend to use media (games, chats, dating apps, social media, etc.) excessively (for 4-8h a day) However, since I never miss them when I have better things to do, it never fits the definition of addiction. On the other hand, I also don&#x27

I see. So, the universe is assumed to be finite in either time or space?

What's the reason for the simulation to be smaller than the simulator? Can't it just be the same but slower? This wouldn't be perceivable from the inside.

Arweave and Filecoin. Their PoW algorithms require the miners to store data uploaded by clients.

Which cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin are still running on useless PoW?

Seems like the problem there was that they operated a power plant in secret, not because they mined cryptocurrency.

by k__ 3y ago
So, they have to build their own plant now?

Yes, it's crazy. One company pays you 50€/h and think you're expensive, another pays you 150€/h and thinks it's a bargain.

I had a negotiation once, where our payment expectations we're off by 2x. Never ever had I seen a CEO that much in shock.

Sure, the public platforms don't have the best paying projects. But that's how I found my first clients. After 2-3 clients from such platforms, word of mouth did the rest. I only went for projects that went 3-6 months, so I didn&#

"Do I have a chance of breaking into this?" In my experience, the success stands and falls with how well you can grasp technical topics and explain them to people who have less time than you to learn them. I know a bunch of good
