What about Assembly?

Seems the entry is gone sadly

Um, it wasn’t until 2011 before the first person achieved level 30, as the video mentions fairly early on

I use autocomplete and headwind which is more or less just a VSCode plugin to sort the classes. Been very happy with that setup, albeit not “real” type safety

Author mentions applying to engineering roles

2.5 minutes to apply seems very fast. What does it entail? Surely not the compilation of the entries, I need more than a minute to read a job posting in detail.

I wish they would have just stuck with tailwind which is capable of producing the same results, has great adoption, good docs and active development, without having to roll your own everything over and over again, as is common with css libs.

Yeah, author seems to heavily underestimate his own needs vs general needs. But for what Google et al know about me the results could indeed be more precise. I have developed a habit of appending “GitHub” in the search query for when I am actually looking for source code vs just trying to find a page that just downloads me a video.

You use yelp for directions?

Wow thanks, I really needed to see a hello world server example

Sadly the video won’t play on my iPhone

With increasingly better AI, not even techies will be able to tell apart what’s real and what isn’t by just looking at it. You’re probably in for the ride.

Thank you.

Seems that cutting most staff does have repercussions

Sounds like Minority Report

> negative consequences are more immediately obvious

I don’t think so since we are used to drunk people. You know how many people I’ve seen beating each other in a drunk rage? I have never seen that with smokers.

I’m imagining this with an Austrian dialect right now lmao

Someone else in this thread was bragging about having more than 800 tabs open

Teams is a horrible abomination on so many levels. fragmented apps, auth, performance, it’s all a mess. Recently they took away the ability to do :emojis:

I believe it just exists to make people suffer

> 883 tabs open

There cannot be a good reason to do this, I start to get anxious at 20-30

Has there been a time in history where web browsing was lighter than text editing, ever?

On Twitter he was also talking a lot about his journey into Typescript which I very much enjoyed. Great guy

There’s this anecdote of Steve Jobs saw a prototype for an iPod and dropped it in a water tank in order to proof his engineers that they could make it smaller, because it had bubbles of air coming out.

Isn’t that the blockchain that just stopped working for a few days a while back?

I apologize, that was insensitive.

I live in Berlin, raised German. The city is a wild mix and what you are describing I would argue is only applicable to a subset of people. Yes, many people here might seem cold and mechanical. That’s what I and this article have been trying to describe, people with an eastern heritage appear to outsiders this way. To me they do not appear this way, I’ve grown accustomed to this attitude.

We perceive Americans often as overly talkative and artificially happy. They’re not, it’s just the way they express themselves.

They might not smile as much in public but they do know how to love, be generous and laugh their asses off, just as westerners do. You’d see that once you get to really know these people.

But on the other hand I have barely ever seen a place that is also inhabited with very hedonistic people who laugh and feel openly. It’s quite a weird place to be honest.

Besides my German roots I’m also half Egyptian. Often when western people observe Arabs, they’re gonna think that they are constantly angry. I thought so myself when I was little. But it isn’t true. They have different means of communication and are some of the most welcoming, caring people I’ve ever met.

All comes down to acceptance. Once you accept the cultural differences you got with that other person and adapt to them, you will not feel them as cold or mechanical.

It’s funny, I never noticed this. I grew up in Germany and had lived in the US for a year a while back. A few years after I met an American friend here who had been on a euro trip. She went to Prague (not exactly Russia, but culturally close enough I guess) and she said something like: "why are all people there so damn depressed?" I myself had great times in that same city, I never got that feeling. But I realized that there is a big cultural difference. I told her: "That’s how they are. They are still happy and loving people, they just show it differently".

I would never perceive them as being depressed. Interesting how your surrounding culture can change your perception of things.

Yeah that felt kinda sarcastic

Yeah but wouldn’t it require some kind of fork of the BTC software (not chain) to actually include this transaction without sending it to everyone else?

Ok but is it really illegal? I doubt there’s a law on who can send who private BTC transactions? Or is it actually possible to mark this as laundering?
