yeah for me it's a capital starvation issue, 5 years ago I got millions to fund a vague idea and would hire left and right for the price you'd give, didn't matter. Now I'm building a sustainable business with the little funding available and growth and success is severly limited by the lack of capital, 150k/year would be almost half our entire company salaries. I won't mind increasing salaries for everyone including myself as we grow and become profitable, but right now that would just be suicide. Appart from big corps that are just increasing profit margins and dividends, I wouldn't be surprised if lots of small businesses are in a similar situation where they would love to hire seniors but the pool that was dumped by big businesses is just too expensive for them. Would be interesting to see the job market as a stock market I'm pretty sure atm lots of these 150k/year profiles would now be 75k/year max since the big corps dumped their stock. Smaller businesses don't have that kind of capital since VC dried up.
I think it's actually brilliant. People aren't going to leisure trip at commuting hours, so it allows to keep a schedule outside of busy hours when you are normally way under capacity.
Note that it's only up to regional transparts, which means that if you can technically travel across Germany with it, it's gonna be much slower than a car. In most cases you are still going to take an Inter City Express which is not included. But now you can go from your small city next to Berlin to your grandpa's next to Hamburg and only have to worry about the ICE. The trip would last roughly as long as it would with the car end to end, and cost you less (way less if you then completely renounce owning a car)
Like that story about a Tesla driver driving off a cliff in California and everyone surviving the crash? A story that even ended up in french and German newspapers
> If VS Code is slower than sublime with the same level of functionality, why does it currently totally dominate the market? Is it because devs just love Microsoft?
Because it only has the same level of functionality when you conveniently ignore how easier it is to write plugins
I worked for a year for Pengu, one of the hackers. I never dared to ask about that part of his path. He had a custom arcade game running the game in the office, that was the closest thing to the topic. He really moved on with his life.
If you wonder, at the time, the company was doing claims processing for a big insurance company in the US
A personal anecdote, I've had the the complete opposite experience with Asus and Lenovo laptops lasting forever, not even needing any sort of repair, while my 2007 MacBook pro died because of a known flaw on Nvidia GPU after less than 4 year and the fix costed as much as a new laptop
I think you give too much credit to some execs, my experience is that sometimes the short term is the only thing they pay attention to when investors' money is flowing and there's more to grab.
The only reason we see this headline is because dumb money ran out last year'
True, although I don't know which library the op is talking about, because all the libraries I use are alive and well, some get very rare updated simply because they are "done"
Well with that logic it's the same for clojure, Lein and deps.edn they both use the very well documented, incredibly successful, Maven Central repository. They are just two different implementations using the same, reliable, battle proven approach to dependencies. You need a library? Add it to your build file, with its version, and you're done.
Do you have some os projects out there to share where you had to do that? Makes me curious, I think the only time I've ended up making a specific data structure in clojure was for a library for perf reasons. In application code basically never.
I think every clojure dev that sticks long enough and feels the need for a framework ends up publishing one. The reason none of them stands out much imo is that library composition is pretty easy to do and the building blocks libraries out there do their thing pretty well. So with a bit of experience even on a new project it feels much easier to adopt your known set of building blocks, maybe throw a few new ones into the mix or replace one and you are good to go. At the end of the day it doesn't take more time than learning a framework yet it gives you a lot more flexibility.
based on the todomvc example, I can say that it is resilient to being offline, in the sense that whatever you do while temporarily offline is resumed when you are back online. there's no optimistic updates so it looks like the items you add while offline are disappearing, but they end up in the list as soon as you are back online.
Regarding offline I tested the photon-starter-app repo a bit and it looks like it already supports disconnections but without optimistic updates:
Here's what I did
- killed the network
- added a bunch of items to the todo list, which disappeared from the input field but didn't appear in the list
- switched network back on, items appeared in the list
I'm curious to see how adding optimistic updates to the mix would work
I would say a truckload, because bananas radiations are making just a bit more crack noises than the background, here the Geiger counter go crazy. But without the background reading and units it's hard to tell
that was the moment for me.
and given that he's not the only one going erratic after years of performing, I'm wondering if it isn't some "miraculous" designer drug finally disclosing it's side effects after years of usage
