The worst part of all this, is that the people attempting to control this information and suppress what they don’t like for now don’t see how it will turn around on them. But by that time it will be too late to raise the alarm.

I’ll take you to be an honest player: https://twitter.com/pnjaban/status/1331850866442190850 Go ahead and let me know what you see following that url. They’ve begun flagging filed court cases brought on by voters

Take it for what its worth but in the U.S one could conceivably go study a "fine art" masters in a private institution and pay north of $250k for a job (if it exists at all) that would pay sub $60k. I saw someone on Twitter talk a

Why would this be necessary? Assume you have 4 requests coming in concurrently, AWS would just route to 4 different lambdas. Otherwise why even go down this route?

I jumped into a greenfield project that had been already polluted and “using” TS. The build was still running with a 1/0 and other explicitly broken code somehow.

For the love of all mighty, if you happen to use the TS template DO NOT FOR A SECOND assume you’re using it in strict mode. For whatever reason CRA has a different hidden env var flag that controls this even though you have a “strict: true”

Anyone comment the obvious low hanging fruit? Compile CPython in release mode, as most everyone uses the debug version. Doing this gives a rough 10% performance increase.

That reasoning is one of the reasons EU is in its current state. You will never get a Ronaldo/Jordan caliber player without exposing them to the best players from an early stage. Protectionism works well until they face a real challeng

except if inflation jumps to above 5% which is back to the trendline, all this goes up in flames.

I find myself spending hours because they are too weak... Not a Haskell type guy fanboy, but TS attempts to give you the tools to express yourself in types and falls significantly short. Something like a single case discriminated union, pro

Ask yourself why most of the world is poor and bad at creating things, and what that correlation is to where the billionaires live. What’s with the anti-capitalism and socialist mentality of techy people? In theory this board is generally “

Ask if you can start writing in F#. That should keep you entertained and trying out a new paradigm. Helps that you can import/work directly into top of .net

No such thing as fair in life. So why have some bureaucrat write laws to dictate fair based on their politics? The market isn’t political. Having said that, Uber drivers exist because it does provide enough money to have people show up and

Interesting! You’re using NFC to pass over the WiFi keys etc? How is it that you’re negotiating and getting the NFC to trigger the WiFi password input?

Right... At which point lets assume its a married man with a family, "Hey honey, lets move to mainland China where I'll get twice the salary but we'll never come back here and we will for sure become enemies to Taiwan."

Assuming for a second its USD $2k, that is all you would take as a person presumably with a family/partner to Paris from Taiwan? What are you talking about? You would need a couple grand just to be safe and cover the basics then you wo

Being placed in such a list means you can’t touch any finance institution outside of say mainland China. Means you’re stuck to using cash or supposedly crypto. The cash you can’t store anywhere, and you’ll be given large bags of it bi-month

All this gets solved quite easily, you add all the new hires to a sanctions list. Those people will be unable to bank and use any modern financial institution. Very easily fixed problem, now how moral it is, that’s up for debate.

There are metrics for weight at least for men that I’ve seen a common one is 2x body weight deadlift or squat. Find me a random person lifting that and I’ll show you a generally fit individual.

The crux of the problem here is that most people don’t want to really put much effort into the basics. All these things are to improve things at the edge, like a pro runner choosing better cleats. Exercise and diet alone will lower all caus

I agree with what you’re saying. But you’re proposing the same argument of “well how do you know the dealer didn’t sprinkle another drug on your weed?” What makes you think that the toothpaste company wants to use expensive radioactive mate
