I can't really visualize the amount of momentum involved, or how sharp the chestnut is. Is that specifically about eye injuries, or could it hurt someone some other way?
After writing the above comment, I watched videos of people playing conkers and now I understand how it could, in theory, cause an eye injury. It was hard for me to visualize how close the defender's conker is to the defender's body before seeing the video. I was somehow wrongly imagining that it was being supported on a much longer string or with the help of other objects somehow.
You could argue the same for timezones in a date library, yet they have them. I would think a library dedicated to money will in fact be the most up to date.
Do they ? I've never once had a library that stores Europe_Paris, or Offset_Plus_7_45, they've always been stringly typed. Do you have an example of who'd be crazy enough to maintain a wrapper around tzdb?
Even as a one person developer, you inevitably need to come back to old code and understand what's happening. Types help with that. The size of the team or codebase is irrelevant.
It can be even better - in the UK unless you earn over a large amount, or know for a fact you have some special circumstances, you never have to do a thing.
We had something similar at an old job. It was pretty nice as then you were allowed to release your changes whenever as long as all the changes up to yours had been tested.

This is just straight up wrong. You don't HAVE to enter the VC cycle of endless raising, and if they're wanting to replace/kick you out, what are you doing wrong?

That's literally what being a co-founder is. You might be even split with someone, but you are still very much the captain.
That's a pretty short journey (probably about 15 minutes), but yes it will definitely be a lot better now. I think also part of it comes down to 1. getting used to it, and 2. the time you cycle at. Rush hour, while more hectic, actually is quite a bit easier because you're often going far quicker than any cars.
I think the suggestion being discussed was AI-cloning your voice, and then using that for text-to-speech. Audio generation, rather than automating the cuts and tweaks to the recorded audio.
Yes exactly. Thanks. Voice cloning was indeed the suggestion made above.
The ethical challenge in my opinion, is that your status as living human narrator on a video is now irrelevant, when you're replaced by voice cloning. Perhaps we'll see a new book by "George Orwell" soon. We don't need the real man, his clone will do.
