I don't want it, it's been a necessity. Now I'm cutting it down a bit actually and putting my entrepreneurial pursuits on hold for some 4 - 5 years because there was just too much conflict with missing out on some other thing

I think there are 3 factions in a world where AI took out most jobs (with UBI of course): #1 There will always be jobs requiring humans - jobs that require human interaction. The supply will be much smaller, but so will be the demand. #2 By

It was a bit hard to watch given that it mentions digital all the time. Why is it called digital? There's nothing digital about electricity flowing through a wire. Digital means that a binary signal is carried rather than say, a signal

It comes at some personal life sacrifice though and I will be looking to reduce it slightly in the coming years. It's basically a lifestyle of work and not much else, I set aside some time for a hobby which also involves socializing an

I imagine so, not there yet. To me, it's certainly not just about programming but the project / product in particular as well as how much ownership / leadership over the thing I would have. If it feels like it's a part o

(Not the parent but I can relate) I'm not much accomplished yet but I have been maintaining a 60h+ work week for the past 3 years (ok, not every single week is a 60h one but most are). I never look at my feelings, I sit down and do the

To contrast that, in the last few days I have spent 14h that I never considered in the schedule to wrangle TypeScript issues and bugs (4 to be precise).

I don't have it anymore. I think that anxiety is just a symptom of being disconnected from the body - just not having proper body awareness. I think that many people get pulled into anxiety (at least those visiting this site) through t

I have just decided to give it another try on a very straightforward thing. I have asked it to get me a Rust function that uses a headless browser to get the HTML of a fully loaded webpage. ChatGPT: let screenshot = tab.capture_screenshot(S

I was initially impressed and blown away when it could output code and fix mistakes. But the first time I tried to use it for actual work, I fed it some simple stuff and I even had the pseudo code as comments already - all it had to do is t

I'm sorry, I have been lucky to only have limited experience with the system to date and it did not make a good impression. I take it back but I still think that 5 - 9 % of income before tax for healthcare is outrageous. > but that&

by mckravchyk 4y ago
It's relevant because sure you can get a private insurance but you are already spending 5% of your income before tax on the public one and can't opt out from it. Like that's too much expenditure already to think about private

Europe consists of many countries, and one of them is more than happy to take 9% / 5% of your income in exchange for one quite crappy public health care system - think whenever you need to see a specialist, you have to pay with your ow

I agree that his tone could be better, but if this was really none of his fault (other than being at the wrong road at the wrong time), I could understand why he writes that way given the trouble it has caused him, significant time in pri

What's your reasoning for saying he's probably not a great human being? Assuming what he says is true. If he had no way of seeing that coming, how is that different from blaming / judging a train driver in any way for someone

I don't get how Chrome does not have it and very few people are aware that there's this browser called Firefox that has this feature that's very hard to live without. Another thing Ctrl+Tab MRU. I just could not get back to u

That's a smart thing to do. I have also noticed that there's different type of work that can be done better when sleep depleted. I'm working 7 days / week nowadays and one day I will usually be pretty sleep depleted. I h

It totally works and it also restores the ability to act as a Linux terminal or become a chat-based video game again. I got stuck trying to make it "execute" rm -rf though. It seems like DAN cannot get it to "cause harm"

We cannot be too sure about the hard problems, but it's certain we are screwed either way. The bulk stuff that is being done is problems that have been already solved. It's just sufficient that AI can thrive building boring CRUD a

It's different though, extensions are like local apps and deserve persistent storage, while you are talking about how Flash was being used by remote sources. Also my proposed approach is that this data would be wiped when the extensi

by mckravchyk 4y ago
I think this will be great for extensions. Currently the only solid choice is to use the dead simple storage.local which only allows to retrieve things by ID. There's one problem though, this new API is for the web, so the nature of th

Yes this is a huge issue in IT and the awareness about it is really low, even among developers making core software. Linux was short of losing the ability to run apps as another user (there was a bug and initially the developers were not ke
