The context that was likely left out due to HN rules is, there are mass protests turned violent in the face of police brutality in several cities. The Indonesian government has a history of blocking/throttling internet access in immediate areas of the unrest to limit coverage.
Thanks for that video. I was really confused because I only watched those voice comparison videos that doesn’t sound much like her, but that OpenAI video made me go “wow, that’s definitely Scarlett Johansson”. I get how she’s upset.
A professor I worked with liked to stop work in the middle of typing something. “As if I fell asleep or passed out while working on it”, he said. And the next morning, kickstart the flow state by doing the very simple task of typing the rest of the unfinished word. Followed by the less simple but still straightforward task of finishing the sentence/line of code. And so on.
Hey, in most cases the application fees are waivable if you write to the application committee explaining that you are in a situation where the fees are a significant barrier.
The rest of the expenses though. Oof. (For americans reading: I paid over $700 just in visa and immigration processing-related fees)
> How are all the maintainers/developers of the many programming languages around getting paid? Do you really do all this work in your free time, after having another full time job?
I want to correct the assumption that may have led to this question little; programming language _research_ and programming language _implementation_ are generally two separate jobs requiring separate skillsets (that sometimes may overlap). Which one are you interested in doing? (both?)
Not really. I'm very introverted and not good with strangers, actually in the process of getting an autism diagnosis right now.
But I really enjoy socializing with folks with similar interests (e.g., tech), and I work with a lot of neurodivergent colleagues which puts less of a strain on my social battery as I don't have to be "normal"---we're all weird and it's fine.
Still, my social battery drains quickly nonetheless, I tend to have to leave after hanging out for an hour or two.
I think people who wants to work from home should be able to. I'm doing hybrid personally as well now, it's great for keeping my chronic pain under control. And I enjoy coming in couple days a week to a quieter office (as lots are doing hybrid/mixed wfh as well).
Internet has conditioned us to think that people can only have extreme beliefs, and any disagreement means their opinion must be the polar extreme opposite of mine. I can simultaneously appreciate opportunities I've got from socializing with people in a fully-WFO setting while also appreciating benefits of WFH ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I scored most (if not all) of my career-defining opportunities from hallway convos after a meeting, or chatting while waiting for coffee to brew, so YMMV.
I learned both English and Japanese as third/fourth languages and English grammar does _not_ make sense compared to Asian languages that has comparatively very logical forms, usually with minimal modifiers that doesn't change the entire sentence structure.
I frankly gave up with English grammar and just did whatever feels right.
IEEE, and also ACM. I'm pretty sure both vendors has ~10 different magazines covering different subtopics. We get copies of Communications of the ACM delivered here.
Shop from local farms, if that's an option for you. All suffering won't be eliminated, of course, but if you want to consume animal products, it's way better IMO to support local farmers who are invested in ethical animal treatment and sustainable practices.
Portland resident here, been pissed off with half of my deliveries for a birthday party this weekend getting delayed to next week then saw this article and went OH that's why. Definitely not ground to a halt, but the effects are felt and if it keeps up I'd definitely take my business elsewehre.
You have to consider that both plugins were pioneered by the same lead developer, and rust-analyzer came as a second system leveraging things learned from the IntelliJ Rust project.
Even though the specs says nothing about it, modern JavaScript is almost always JITted, i.e. V8 that powers Node and Chrome, the rest of the browser js engines
Do keep in mind that 1. very few drug candidates make it through drug trials (iirc it's something around 1 in 1000), and 2. these trials takes 10+ years, and FAH has been around for only 19 years. It's very likely that a bunch of its results are in trial right now, and we'd only hear about it 10-20 years in the future
