What about preschool teacher? I say this because I’ve been visiting a number of childcare centres over the past few days and I still have yet to see a single male teacher.

Counterpoint - my circa 2017 HP Spectre x360 is the best laptop I've ever bought, really happy with that purchase. Getting a bit long in the tooth, though.

It would be so simple for an actual auditor to verify Tether's holdings. Or, to put it another way - if Tether actually held everything it claimed to hold, it would have no problem arranging an auditor to sign off on it. Given they&#x2

I have the same issue if I unplug/replug my headphones, only a reboot will fix it.

I've recently become a father and I do wonder how much US maternity leave (or rather, lack thereof) accounts for your high formula usage. While my wife is coping, it's still very draining to handle a newborn and pump at regular in

Design discussion aside, your site looks really cool. Interested to see where you take it. Suggestion - I tend to forget these kind of things once a couple of weeks have passed (or at least, forget the name and can never find it again). It&

If everyone was like you, then noone would care if crypto "loses" against fiat currency, because 1 BTC still equals 1 BTC. Honestly, if that were the case (as it used to be, back in the early days), I would have zero problem with

The sad (?) thing is that despite these scummy crypto projects collapsing, people like Do probably still made out like bandits. It's only the "regular" greedy folk who lose everything. I know the world isn't just, but it

I think that's pretty short-sighted. Dart is hardly an esoteric/niche language like Haskell or Futhark, anyone familiar with Java/Javascript/TypeScript should be able to pick it up in a day or so. Flutter's perform

Perhaps someone with closer knowledge of USA finance law can fill me in - is there anything legal preventing Coinbase acting as trustee for customers as beneficiary? Surely that would avoid this situation (though there are probably commerci

Pithy, but also not true. If a bank goes belly up, your average Joe’s bank account is first in line (via deposit insurance), as are employee entitlements. Coinbase is most decidedly not a bank, which is why the former doesn’t apply.

Is this the corporate equivalent of putting "Skills: Microsoft Word" on your CV?

I would love to have a gym, barber, dentist and laundry all in the one place. Commuting to those places really isn't time well-spent for me, so the faster I can get in and out, the better. Restaurants and bars is getting a bit iffy, b

Exactly this for me. I actually think an office environment is much better for many (if not most) aspects, but it’s difficult to argue with eliminating 1-2 hours of daily commute.

Basically, yes. I came across a few comments that suggested it was great for audio UIs, but very unwieldy for anything outside that (things like non-Latin text rendering, navigation stacks, etc). So while it was possible to build general UI

I actually came across JUCE the other day for the first time. I was wondering -would it be a really terrible idea to make a general purpose cross-platform GUI with this?

At the same time, it's easy to think Australia's doing a good job if you've never experienced well-run government services (like Singapore). What's more, Australia's online services have somehow managed to get wors

I know it wasn't really the point of the post, but this isn't the first time I've heard negative reports about IPFS. Which is a real shame, I've been following it for a few years now, it was one of the few crypto/bl

Interesting take, but as someone who still works regularly with the shell, I'd say there is still a place for small core utils connected together with pipes/textual streams. If we're talking parsing and chopping up text files

DALL-E is really impressive, but many believe it shows we're making progress towards AGI (the explicit end goal of Open AI), or at least it's displaying some degree of "understanding" (whatever that means). If I ask for

I was in Spain recently and while the trains were as pleasant/convenient as I expected, I was definitely surprised by how expensive it was. Even more so, given how (relatively) cheap the rest of the trip was.

Kaldi hybrid models (mixture of DNNs and HMM acoustic modelling with WFST based decoding) are still competitive. They’re only really outperformed by the largest models (and even then, that may be a function of investment in man-hours in tun

It's also not legally correct. Just putting the words "privileged and confidential" on a document and copying an in-house lawyer doesn't render it subject to privilege. That being said, the practice is incredibly widespr
