The US is structured to promote loneliness. If you want to fix it: - More free public spaces (parks with benches, squares) - More free public events and activities (free concerts, art installations, plays) - Greater physical proximity (it&#

A one-time wealth tax doesn't seem to make a ton of sense. The current loop hole is that loans are not taxed so people take out loans against their assets thus never paying income tax. Tax those loans and refund taxes when the loans ar

I've always felt it was verbose and the need for classes for everything was a bit of a overkill in 90% of circumstances (we're even seeing a pushback against OOP these days). Here are some actual improvements: - Record classes pub

Java is maturing into a syntactically nice language, albeit slowly, and it's the backbone of many medium and large companies. You might have trouble finding small companies using anything but JS/Ruby/Python. These companies a

This is not unique to the age of LLMs. PR reviews are often shallow because the reviewer is not giving the contribution the amount of attention and understanding it deserves. With LLMs, the volume of code has only gotten larger but those sa

For starters, never commit to a timeline without doing your due diligence. We're not selling carpets. Anyone who gives a time estimate on the spot is setting themselves up for failure. Second, always pad your estimates. If you have bee

Keyword is "draft". You still need a person to review the response with knowledge of the context of the issue. It's the same as my email example.

The reason people are holding out is that the current generation of models are still pretty poor in many areas. You can have it craft an email, or to review your email, but I wouldn't trust an LLM with anything mission-critical. The ac

Thank you for surfacing this. A senior role in NYC for 155K (plus bonus, which they do offer) is nothing when you factor in the cost of living.

What is up with that API? `1.25.percent()`? `1 money 'USD'`? Love the spirit of a money library, but this is a little odd.

I wonder if addressing price fixing in rent prices will ease the regulations around short-term rentals (which have shown to also increase rents by about 3%).

You could say the same about prices in general increasing due to credit card fees ($.30 per transaction + 3%).

In a rent-controlled area like in parts of Canada, it's not unusual for the tenant to improve the apartment they are renting with the consent of the landlord. This is ultimately to the tenants' benefit. Imagine investing $1200 int

Should still have UBI or at least some form of government training and placement. Just because it’s slower than overnight, doesn’t mean it won’t affect people’s livelihood.

I don't know if this is the case for others, but I'm seeing missing images on their laptop and tablet marketing pages. The new product line feels very rushed.
