Keep calm and build your ai avatar app :)

True at scale it makes perfect sense to do that. Its just not a very lean (2 different codebases for 2 platforms) and maintainable solution (apple and google keep changing how they do things and kick out apps that dont follow suit)

Yeah okay cherry-picking an example wasnt the best idea i admit. But still the disagreement we have is between a senior engineer striving for business value vs a senior engineer striving for engineering value. I have been on both sides of this to be fair.

I think its a cool theory and seems the most reasonable from all the other theories of aging. However I am a bit disappointed when I only see David's name on every paper published on this topic. Why dont other institutions start similar studies to verify this claim?

Haha I am as technical as it gets (Have a masters degree in engineering from a decent school, even have written my own compiler and database system) and this is the senior engineer I want to be and have in my team.

The engineers you are describing are some of the biggest time wasters I have seen - spending months on making “engineering improvements”. One guy I met spent a year on making the perfect build system in rust lang that I could have written in cmake and bash in a week.

I feel like we are not in alignment on what a senior engineer should do so lets first agree on that. The primary responsibility of a senior engineer is to move the business objectives forward. Code quality can be a business objective but that needs to be decided together with the business team. If that is not a business objective then the senior engineer is wasting their time and everyone else's time on it.

A solution is objectively better only if it moves the codebase forward towards the business objectives. More often that not this involves no refactoring but surgically adding features without changing or breaking any existing functionality.

Honestly there is no good way of dealing with this kind of behaviour that is politically correct in my experience. You just have to reprimand them and tell them to spend developer time on creating business value rather than pursuing their personal itches. You have to tell them thats what is expected from a senior engineer.

Yeah one thing I have learnt in my adventures is that you should never try to do business in a non advanced economy. I keep all my business in the Netherlands no matter where I live.

The reason this works for tokens is that tokens are put in a vector space where similar words are in a similar place. The same effect could not be achieved with characters or bits. If you think about it our brains also remember words and not characters

Honestly I havent tried much sharing with web but I can at least vouch for sharing between iOS and Android which seems to work mostly. In a few years time I think it will become much more easy and bulletproof than it is now. Making two different apps in SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose seems overkill already.

As a former iOS UIKit dev I actually prefer react native to SwiftUI. If we have to do this declaratively (and I have to re-learn how to do complex layouts) lets also make it platform independent and reusable with Web.

It feels like SwiftUI is being pushed down my throat and I have a strong aversion towards things like that.

Happy new year everyone! I am gonna build a lot this year and will make my app stockselect.ai popular! Wish me luck

Exactly! For me this guy is at a higher level of respect than anyone working for a salary!

Hmm I think in some cases its actually a more empathetic advice to just get over it as a non-issue and think about other things.

Moral of the story is that even billionaries have paper hands!

Crypto is a technology just like Microsoft Windows is. As more people use it its value increases. Only difference is now there is no bill gates and the rewards are shared by all early adopters.

Assuming the stablecoin doesnt lose its peg (choose a decentralized one), you can get 20 percent yield from staking it.

Right answer. (There are some other new interesting protocols on the horizon too MARS, PRISM)

I said stablecoin for a reason.

What do people do with their money when central banks only offers 0.03 percent interest while inflation is 9 percent. They can convert their money to a crypto stablecoin and get upto 20 percent yield.

sure will do :)

Its more of a question of status. If youre one month away of being sent back to India how can you feel good about yourself.

Okay so I did the same thing in 2012 after being frustrated working with the H1B system for 2 years. In 2013 however I moved to the netherlands for a job and in 2020 I became a dutch national (Actually spent the whole of 2019 in colombia). Now after 2 years of travelling (mostly living in spain) I am moving back to India again and will try Mumbai. I work with us companies remotely and will probably keep doing so and make trips to the US every few months. Cheers and good luck OP :)

Couldnt agree more with your core argument. Declarative rendering is way more mental overhead than procedural rendering. Designing a system is more about the "how" than the "what".

Yeah one of the reasons I refuse to do SwiftUI is I want to do my layout in constraints. Its also how my head thinks when I think about layouts, and also probably why I never enjoyed web dev and got into it.

I agree with you. I get the problem its trying to solve but its removing the ability to parse that line of code without carefully reading it. SQL is able to have this because we are talking about querying a database, but a modern language should never that hard to mentally parse in my opinion.

I think whats happening here is that discourse that is created by online forum discussions ends up sounding hostile rather than productive. I have experienced this in remote only companies also. In previous generations of open source languages people communicated with email which at least made them think about their argument and rephrase it. Now however (also partly influenced by modern internet culture) people take an adversarial side and then just post it without rephrasing it in a way to sound respectful and constructive.

I do not see an obvious solution to this other the somewhat untenable goal of restricting discussions to email only.

Is it really meaningless to buy an NFT that might result in Assange being freed? If anything it would have good resale value if he actually gets free and i would argue much more than ape club NFTs

The offence he is charged for (i think sex without a condom) and the sentence he is serving is a mockery of the justice system. (I will admit i havent researched the details here)

I think he is one of our heroes and we should do our best to get him out of prison.

Do you have any better ideas to free assange? A DAO seems perfect for this.

I wonder if you actually want him freed. If you dont you are in the wrong website.

Hmm so would you say omicron evolved naturally without human intervention?
