- rr808There might be a plan but more likely Chinese salaries have grown a lot in the last 20 years. 20 years ago US salaries were much higher - it makes sense to get a US degree and work here. Now you might as well go home again, it isn't better to be in the US any more.
- There is no shortage of US families who would pay the $100k/yr for top 10 university education.
- Sorry, it was just a genuine question. No one in my extended family has had serious problems or issues with insurance companies and I genuinely dont care if my records or even dna are public. Probably would support it for research purposes.
- Do Europeans care if their health data is secret or not? I feel in the US its a big deal that people dont want insurance companies to measure them and deny coverage to those who need it most, but in most of the world that isn't an issue.
- I found a video! 14 years ago and its C#, but VC++ had this in the 90s too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6J34B37wUc
- Thanks yes of course you're right, still frustrating. I'm nearing retirement so not really worried about job loss, just want to make use of the tools.
- The best I can do is rebuild the class, then when the function runs next time you get the new code. Is that what you mean? Quarkus is good like this too.
- Its super frustrating there is no official guide. I hear lots of suggestions all the time and who knows if they help or not. The best one recently is tell the LLM to "act like a senior dev", surely that is expected by default? Crazy times.
- Speaking of better in the old days, MSVC in the 90s had edit and continue, where you could stop in a debugger, change the source code and move the current breakpoint back and run it again. Even VBA had this 30 years ago, why cant I do in Python?
- Most (?) Kobos can run libby so you can get ebooks from your library.
- > told me it was even more incredible during the height of the dotcom boom
I was a developer in the 90s before Netscape even came out. I didn't have a computer at home and dialup barely existed. If you wanted to do computer stuff you had to read. If you wanted to try a library you had to buy a CD from a bookstore or mail in an order which would get posted to you.
- 2020 was a special time where every child in America was given a Chromebook so they could do school from home.
- I'm on Spark Scala 2 project and I hate it. Basically any good Scala dev would never want to work on our ETL projects, so we get second rate Python or Java devs like me who bastardize the language to get anything to work. Most of our new stuff is all pyspark, hopefully we can replace Scala asap.
- AI
- We have these weekly rah rah AI meetings where we swap tips on what we've achieved with copilot and devin. Mostly crickets but everyone is talking with lots of enthusiasm. Its starting to get silly though now, most people can't even get the tools to do anything useful more than trivial things we used to see on stack overflow.
- Lol you made me think my power bill has gone up but I didn't get a pay rise for my increased productivity.
- There has always been a lot of Microsoft hate, but now its a whole new level. Windows now really sucks, My new laptop is all Linux for the first time ever. I dont see why this company is still so valuable. Most people only use a browser now and some ios apps, there is no need for Windows or Microsoft (and of course Azure is never anyone's first choice). Steam makes the gamers happy to leave too.
- That's the same as most countries then.
