Well, I guess herein lies the rub of the whole concept. Nomadery is fine for some for a while, but it's no life. You need connections and community anywhere. I think there are lots of reasons why people set out on this path, seeing a b

Don't know why this was down-voted. Totally agree that moving around too much and not learning the language is where most people fail. We need community to feel happy, you're not going to get it doing multiple countries in one yea

Yup, I didn't nomad. Been more or less in the same (non-Western) place for fifteen plus years. Few spells elsewhere, but this has been my center of gravity. I have meaningful, long-term connections with the place I live, it's peop

Is there anything particularly "neuro divergent" about having a hobby? Anyways, I doubt his wife's making him do anything. Totally normal domestic arrangement to have a space for one's thing(s), whatever it may be. Well-

Whilst thoroughly supporting the ban hammer on most forms of advertising, I'm pragmatic enough to understand multiple strategies are required. We need to educate friends and family about ads, help them understand the harms, give them t

That looks cool. Bit US-based (and maybe a bit young) for me, but much respect, the world could do with more of this. The kids are alright.

The local shop scene never appealed, but big love for my gaming crew. Been playing games with the same lads for twenty years, and we've all learned how to wash!

I read the title and the first few sentences as resilience _to_ rather than resilience _for_ the internet.

Big up the DnB crew. I like it dirtier when out, but love a bit of liquid to code to. For sessions: Big Bud: Infinity + Infinity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYEuCcMZB_o LTJ Bukem: Logical Progressions https:/&#x2F

Yeah, I've cludged together all sorts of stuff, just to avoid working in R. Terrible use of my time. The big issue isn't necessarily around jackknife etc. (as you say, pretty trivial and I think perhaps in statsmodels), but around

Lovely people, terrible stack. What I found more than anything else was I needed different problems to work on!

The Prime Minister has been sanctioned by the International Criminal Court. Even close allies (e.g., the UK and France) are engaged in some serious backside-covering right now on their relationship with Israel. They know how this is going t

Well, a group centered its comms on that particular technology but it was quite an esoteric move. Not having a phone is nigh on impossible, minimizing phone use isn't quite as bad as you might think. Mine ran out of battery on Monday a

Totally agree, I think this whole conversation is a first language thing. I learned pandas first, and found the whole R ecosystem to be a complete mess. So many different types of object, so many different syntaxes. The tidyverse makes sens

Wanted to play Helldivers with my boys from back home. They're on Xbox, I'm on Linux, guess who could play it? I love that Arch is a better gaming platform than Xbox these days.

Came here for this. My wife is a big Merlin fan, but I'm pretty hard of hearing and much more visually-orientated when it comes to the natural world. INat is a fantastic project, I've learned so much through it.

This looks a lot like a digital marshrutka.[0] These things are actually pretty great, in a way. My city is full of them. The drivers are maniacs, they're overcrowded and dangerous, but they're affordable, have great coverage and

I really value forums and worry about the impact LLMs are having on them. Stackoverflow has its flaws for sure, but I've learned a hell of a lot watching smart people argue it out in a thread. Actual learning: the pros and cons of diff

What happened to Ad-blocker-blockers? I've not seen one in ages. Good riddance! Advertising is a plague, I'll block till the day I die.

Each to their own. I wholeheartedly agree with the author. I find it really hard to think deeply at a computer. Too many distractions. The speed of writing and search isn't a problem for me. With the writing, I wish I could write faste

What seemed to be interesting from the email addresses disclosed is that there are a hell of a lot of people engaged in finance, investment or trading of one sort or another. There are a few there with enough emails for it to be relatively

I've completely given up on local LLMs for my use cases. The newer models available by API from larger providers are cheap enough and come with strong enough guarantees for my org for most use cases. Crucially, they are just better. I

Had these sorts of issues all my life, I'm pretty sure most people do to a greater or lesser extent. Life asks a fuck of a lot of us. More as we age, but more as the world changes. On a good day, I naturally don't think about it.

Yep. Had a DJ mate who religiously wore plugs to every night, wise dude. Wear ear plugs at gigs, kids. Older you will thank you.

Advertising triggers a lot more than OCD in me outside of my start menu. On my machine, where I spend most of my waking hours, it was certainly the last straw for me. But there's also the thing where Microsoft stops supporting older ma

I think the weakest of some pretty weak points by the author. The involuntary and extractive nature of the system is precisely what makes the feudal analogy strong.
