I feel the same. Kids of 4.5 and 2. I can't say it gets easier yet. Two childrens are so much harder than one. And people told me the opposite, that the biggest change was having one kid and the next wasn't such a big step. That t

So why moves into the house you're selling? That sounds like a ponzi scheme.

Those costs go to some rich locals, and the wealth divide grows. I'm not against people moving around, I would love to go live in Portugal eventually, but the Portuguese at the moment are quite angry at the cost of their housing.

The opposite for me. Corporation have naked greed as their driving motivation, but that usually doesn't involve killing off all of their customers. That would be quite unprofitable. People elected to government often seem to seek power

Well then, are we in agreement that you can't use the argument that ChatGPT replaced some people's work as an overall negative without a lot more qualification?

I actually think the question from the blog is a good one and I've used similar at previous roles. It may consist of one part of the interview process. I think in hindsight I was more responding to the overall ethos were some interview

Agree. Our interview technique is a trimmed down but somewhat realistic coding exercise. We do it as a pair programming exercise and we tell them up-front that this should be an interactive and positive experience, we're not trying to

This would be a hard no from me. I cannot stand having to switch style when working on the same codebase or even in the same company. codestyle enforcement via pre-commit hooks or CI build failure is the way to go. Trying to adpat to codest

I develop almost exlusively in Java and as a language it still works extremely well for our use case, and is only improving. We write financial trading systems which require lowish latency (but not truly low latency) with rock solid stabili

I apologise but I'm not really able to understand most of what you're saying above. I'm not suggesting that the Jewish people don't have a right to exist or have their own state, but that the the geographies and boundari

Bad for equities, in real terms, over what time frame? Things tend to revert to the mean.

I don't think I understand your comment. Are you saying that you are the moral judge of what is an acceptable take on the ethics of this or not, and people who disagree with your moral judgement are "bad comments" and should

I think this is all mostly huff and puff and frankly going to be irrelevant. At some point anyone with a decent enough home computer will be able to train their own models and use them as they see fit. Any law that tries to stop that is goi

I agree. I'm not a "rage against the machine" type of person, I just generally go with the flow. But over the years I've developed an actual underlying seething rage at how removed politicians are from us. They operate i
