True thing. We are not prepared for what's coming. What is coming will be very neat. 15 hrs./week & person of work max. As Keynes and Marx predicted back then. However, the transition could become very ugly. I'm a software guy and even I'm seeing automation rising to replace me and most of my work.
The great depression was 25% unemployment. Conservative estimates for AI disruption expect 45% introduced by an exponential growth in AI capabilities and job replacement opportunities.
It will hurt, society will unravel and we will be around to witness it. Soon.
Anyway: The whole point about Apple is that anyone gets it within a few minutes of using their devices. That's Apple. If you don't get Apple, no amount of explaining will help. Even people who have solid reasons to steer clear of Apple appreciate Apple.
This question is awkward and pointless in so many ways it's almost metaphysical.
Go ahead, mine something on my box. If the code is sandboxed - as should be the case with JS - and it doesn't slow to a grinding halt, I'm actually ok with that. But don't show me you annoying ads!
In fact, make it the default! And give me the option to choose ads over mining. That would actually be a huge improvement IMHO. No joke.
... of lack of experts. It's bullshit, as we all are aware of. Because companies don't plan long-term anymore, the lack innovation power in the short and mid-term. However, I see many positions for junior developers recently. This is the web field in Germany, so YMMV. Those companies that see the light and accept that you have to build a quality staff will remember junior and senior positoins. Those who don't will expect to hire magicians in an instant and fail miserably.
I've had a very solid share of affairs and relationships within the last decade, fuled by a growning aged geek-perspective and the cool that comes with it, a "silver-back" bonus, social dancing and systematically practicing the mating game and doing some PUA research. It worked out very well. Awesome pr0n-style sex, all-out "let's just f*ck like there's no tomorrow" ONSes and all.... Looking for something different I started to use Tinder last year (Oh the irony, I know). And while the effect in "time-to-business" was palpable, the overall experience wasn't all that spectacular, especially with always-online addicts and ladies with the attention span of a squirrel. I quit after a few weeks. I don't use social media for the same reasons.
Right now I'm having an affair that looks out to become a long-term relationship and we got together in a very old-school regular fashion. Feels awesome. We screw like bunnies 3 times a day on average and are continuously getting better at it. Good sex takes practice with the partner:-) .
My conclusion on this: I do think dating apps can significantly improve your throughput and first-encounter experiences but the actual time it takes to slowly shift your priorities and your experience with one another and start moving together for an LTR won't go away by using some app. There is only so much you can leave to computers and the internet. The real deal always involves humans and "human labour". Especially when it comes to relationships. It's that simple.
We've reached peak smartphone when you can get the equivalent of a Nokia 8 with 6GB RAM/128GB SSD in a solid sturdy case and replaceable battery for 120$.
But yeah, as far as super-thin flimsy built-in-battery Smartphones go, the market is pretty much saturated, that I'd admit.
It's way easyer. The incentives may be lower, that's for sure. Unreal tournament is way more fun than going through the first bits of coding, but getting into programming is easyer.
You need an editor and a browser and perhaps an active internet connection and your good to go. All this is bog standard these days, you can even do it on a phone.
Getty Images should play ball and come up with image provisioning that doesn't suck. Should.
But in my experience design companies are among the most conservative and dumbest when it comes to digital. The fuss and hassle that Font companies cause with their abysmally shitty licensing schemes cause people to move to FOSS fonts in droves. Just last year IBM moved from Helvetica to their own FOSS font design called Plex, giving the big font fondries a huge middle finger and saving 10s of millions of dollars per year in licensing fees.
Well done IMHO. Getty is in a losing battle with this issue.
Yes, I know, characters have been a mess ever since back in the day. Glyphs are difficult and academic debates over what constitutes an own seperate glyph are probably never going to end... but how on earth does something like this even happen? Could someone explain?
I don't get it. So the bitrange for UTF8 is widened and processing chars at international scale is a tad more resource hungry - I get it. But crashing a system with a character? What is this? It's not that we're back in punchcard era with killpokes that set systems on fire. How super-bad does one have to screw up for this even to happen? In iOS.... I seriously can't fathom this.
This is an honest question - maybe someone can explain?
I got meself a refurbished ThinkPad X220 for college and portable web development, pimped it out with 8GB RAM and a 250GB SSD and thought I'd try something new off the beaten Debian/Ubuntu track. Manjaro i3 seemed like a nice candidate. And sure enough, it holds up nicely. Rolling updates (manjaro is arch based) and i3 is a very neat tiling WM that's really fast and nice and easy to configure. The manjaro i3 defaults are nice as is the turquoise on dark-grey design. Technical but still modern and sleek.
Manjaro is the new kid on the block and might just be yet another passing distro-fad but for now it holds up and I'm enjoying it. yaourt is a CLI tool for installing non-standard packages and so far everything I've needed could be found on AUR.
Bottom line: Wanna try something new with i3 as default? Yours truly recommends Manjaro i3. Give it a shot,
I don't use them all that much and some have bizar/abysmal usability, but the machines themselves are a marvel of engineering IMHO. It's amazing how much of them are optimized to the T these days. And the print quality they put out is just as amazing. I remember smelling meth-spirits with purple ink of the repo machines back in primary school and I also remember the Star NL 10 dot-matrix impact printer. Noisy, ugly, dusty. I also remember the Sharp CE-126P -still have it.
Long story short, I think they are amazing and AFAICT paper jams with them have also gotten measurably less - although I do understand that those will never go away completely.
Given, gender/sex is the vector by which it is put in effect, but stuff like this shouldn't even be discussed. Find the hotpotters, kick them out, no reimbursement, if they raise a stink, call the police and press charges.
This isn't generic sexism, it's beyond that IMHO. I also think it's a problem if we slap the term sexism on to *everything*, like a 55 year old billionaire grabbing the crotch of a woman. It dilutes the term and causes it to lose any useful meaning.
... problem in 2 weeks for an hourly rate of no larger than 25$.
Those are really difficult to come by. We have been looking for 3 for ages.
A close second are those people that can make us happy even if we don't know what we want but we know exactly how much it may cost and when it's supposed to be finished. Tough one too that is. These IT and programming experts are so arrogant and really hard to work with.
My goal ist zu slowly move into Tim Ferriss/4HWW territory. I usually like my colleagues, don't stay long with people I don't like that much. But I'd very much prefer a surfing beach right near my working spot. Or some nice powder snow to get into some snowboarding.
My goal is to go digital nomad in the foreseeable future without missing a beat income wise. Could work out.
I've finally gotten around to using i3 as my main WM. A tiling WM. Best thing to happen to me in ages. We need to ditch the desktop metaphor already IMHO. It's not 1992 anymore.
When it comes to fighting technical innovation the unions always lose. Economics always wins. And if it's by old companies going out of business and the new ones based on automation rising.
I wouldn't be surprised if this weren't some hidden PR bullshit being spread by the competition. Do you remember the blatant lies about the first tests on the model s that were quickly debunked by the data provided by the test models? This has very much the same smell. There are reports of paid goons renting Teslas and deliberately mistreating them to put them out of service. This article is along these lines IMHO.
I'd trust Tesla and Musk more than I'd trust any news outlet, that's for sure.
Colonizing mars only works with technology we don't have yet. Once that tech exisits, societies will change, wether here or on mars will then make little difference. If people will be selected to live on mars, chances are we'll look for the emotionally stable to do the first wave of colonisation.... You know, like astronauts.
