As a fellow Dutchman, I agree that complaining about the NS is a very tempting thing to do. However, we should not forget that our train infrastructure is considered world class across multiple metrics, including reliability (yes really).

To recalibrate your expectations I wholeheartedly recommend taking a train ride from somewhere in Germany to anywhere else in Germany.

Not sure if it's the domain you're interested in, but there are quite a few HFT firms with offices in Australia.

The one I know of (IMC trading) does a lot of low level stuff like this and is currently hiring.

I'll admit I'm quite anxious for Children of Strife. Children of Time is an all-time favorite, but each subsequent book in the series was a bit of a disappointment. Fingers crossed this one turns the tide

I liked shroud a lot, but the ending felt very ungratifying. It's like Tchaikovsky wrote himself into a corner and didn't really know how to wrap it up nicely. I find this to be true of some of his other books as well.

A counter example to this is that I asked it about NovaMin® 5 minutes ago and it essentially told me to not bother and buy whatever toothpaste has >1450 ppm fluoride.

I've just spent past week building a medium complex web app for editing configs at $work, so I can chime on this.

Having worked with earlier versions of sveltekit in the past, I have to say the new reactivity system is not that bad and pretty easy to wrap your head around. Once you're used to the runes (there's like 4 you have to remember) you can just focus on building stuff and it's really quite a pleasant and productive dev experience. I've gotten multiple compliments from people about the speed and quality I was able to deliver this with and that's in large part due to sveltekit.

I do have to give a shout out to good ol' bootstrap for allowing me to build something that looks good, works on mobile and is just easy.

While the factors you mention may (or may not) cause Germany to dip into a recession in the near future, calling it a "collapse of the economy" is of course gross hyperbole. Boom and bust cycles are an expected and well studied feature of developed economies.

Is there an advantage to doing this versus using something like ncc to just package everything into a single js file with zero dependencies?

> Can i deactivate them? no..

Sure you can, just click the "x" on the top right of the shorts row and they will be gone. Though, you might have to re-hide them every x days, but still if you don't want to watch them you really don't have to.

This is just AI generated blogspam. The real meat appears to be on [0], but it's behind a paywall which none of the archivers appear to have circumvented. Really unfortunate, because the content looked highly interesting!

What's your definition of decent performance?

My company has built quite a few complex capacitor + Angular + Ionic apps and the performance on iOS is fine. Some even got featured by Apple, so that should be some indication that quality and performance was alright.

> Traditional old Asian men are possibly the worst humans ever.

That's, uh, quite a strong statement. What makes them worse than all the other humans?

That was a rhyme from a simpler time. Now the boss makes a grand and I make a buck. So, let's steal the catalytic converter from the company truck.

We use Semgrep Supply Chain at work and are reasonably satisfied with it. It splits the supply chain vulnerabilities it found into the categories: reachable, unreachable and undetermined. This makes triaging much easier and it has reduced the time we spent on assessing new vulnerabilities by quite a lot.

You know what's even less promising than a bunker on Earth? A bunker literally anywhere else in the observable universe. In fact, we could nuke the entire surface of the earth and it would probably still be easier to establish a self-sustaining colony on the resulting radioactive wasteland then on the Moon/Mars/Venus.

There is a very good reason why Earth is, and will continue to, sustain a great diversity of life and the rest of space is sterile.

Every time I read one of these articles the naivety and tone-deafness from supermarkets over these self-checkouts amazes me.

"In order to make more money we made customers self-report their purchases during a cost-of-living crisis while we were booking record high profits and now these customers are _under reporting_ their purchases, how dare they!!"

They should've seen this coming from miles away.

No, your actual gain in capital would not be taxed. The only thing that is being taxed is the "fictitious" gain on the monetary value of your capital at a certain date (peildatum).

Everyone agrees that this system is dumb as shit, but our tax department is too incompetent to implement a sane capital gain tax like they have in, for example. Australia.

It is in fact possible to benefit from pumped hydro even if you have no significant height differences in a certain area. How? By creating a basin inside of an existing body of water and emptying/filling when there's over/under supply of electricity.

I remember reading a couple of years ago that there were plans to construct such a "valmeer" inside of the Ijsselmeer, but I can't find much about it now so no idea whether it's been canned or not.

The cognitive dissonance I'm getting from reading the comments here is pretty staggering. Where I live (The Netherlands) me and every IT person I know is getting absolutely hounded by recruiters. As an additional anecdote I'll add that I've just switched jobs to a start-up on very favorable terms and the recruitment process basically amounted to being cold called and asked "hey you wanna work here?".

Can anyone here comment on whether this horrible job market is a US specific situation or whether I'm living in some kind of weird bubble?

You're absolutely right, everyone living there would be living in what's essentially a really terrible company town. One where your boss has direct control over your oxygen supply.

I'm really not sure why anyone thinks space colonies are a good idea

Such a silly argument to make for settling other planets. No matter how bad earth is going to get due to climate change, it's still a million times more livable than the toxic hellscapes that both the Moon and Mars are.

Also, outerspace is not some lawless frontier akin to America in the 1800s it is governed by the, quite restrictive, Outer Space Treaty which doesn't even allow for claiming parts of a planet as sovereign territory.

In short, everyone who thinks settling outer space will save us from problems here on earth is extremely wrong along multiple axes.

How do taxes offset CO2? If anything they indirectly contribute to carbon emissions by way of fossil fuel subsidies.

To put the percentages from the article in context, a teetotaller between 55 and 59 has a 5.9% chance of developing a stroke while a moderate drinker in the same age group has a 6.7% probability of suffering from a stroke. Which is still bad but not nearly as dramatic as the initial percentages make it sound.

I've noticed there is this weird neo-puritanical movement getting in vogue as of late, but I don't really understand why. Especially in educated groups it should come as absolutely no surprise that drinking is bad for your health and I don't know a single person who drinks because it's "healthy". We drink (in moderation) because it's makes for a good time and the negative externalities are understood and considered a worthwhile trade-off. For some people this trade-off is not acceptable which is totally fine too.

If you're serious about getting healthier I reckon that for a lot of people there is a lot more impactful changes to make than to stop drinking. E.g. no more processed foods, losing weight, exercising regularly, fixing indoor air quality and maybe less/no drinking if it's actually a significantly affecting health.

Kind of weird that they keep emphasizing "espresso" seeing how an Americano/Lungo/Allongé is basically just an espresso with added water (I might've offended some Italians just now). So why not just focus on the active ingredients instead? Maybe to distinguish from all the capsule coffees most people drink?

A couple of week ago the south part of the country was dealing with near record high temperatures, while the north was dealing with floods.

Coincidentally I had to solve this problem at work a few weeks ago. I don't know how (or if) other ORMs deal with this, but for TypeORM it was relatively painless to implement optimistic concurrency[0] along with transactions at function-scope level which all but eliminates this issue.

I'm deeply insulted that Skiing & Snowboarding got its own category, but surfing did not.

If you're already familiar with RoR then it seems quite a sensible choice to me to just go with that. Working in a modern Rails codebase can be insanely productive and is probably a bit more polished and stable than a modern JS/TS codebase (oh you haven't touched your codebase in a few months? Here are 7 major version changes across 3 frameworks none of which are compatible with one another).

For the frontend I highly recommend Svelte as it's dead simple to get started with and the learning curve is quite mellow. If you don't want to mix programming languages in your codebase, SvelteKit is a good option, but it can be quite finicky to setup and to get working according to your tastes if your tastes stray too far from the SvelteKit happy path.

"cools down" is grammatically more correct.
