Well yeah, that's why a vacation is a good test, "important job" or not. If the person needs to respond or even check in during vacation, the team needs to fix their process.

Also the "Following" tab is still there in the regular twitter client which gives you the "raw" timeline of just tweets from people you follow (except below conversation threads where twitter still insists to append random tweets at the end). Then the next step to a sane timeline is to hide retweets for selected people who tend to retweet a lot of noise ;)

The article mostly seems to be about "don't interact with idiots on the internet" though (well, no shit!), not about the broken recommendation algorithm.


The SU and Eastern Europe countries were also such a 'combined block' though (both for trade via COMECON and militarily via the TFCMA (aka 'Warsaw Pact'). Although AFAIK Western Europe had a much higher population than the Eastern European socialist countries.

But in general, the education and health care systems were usually the 'flag ships' with easy and free access for the 'working class' (which also means extreme discimination against anybody else though).


I had never heard of a discrimination issue regarding soviet and affiliated healthcare systems. Care to elaborate ?

I use Zig on Mac, Windows and Linux (but most on Mac). It works without issues (also as a Clang compatible C/C++/ObjC compiler and linker replacement).

I would recommend managing the Zig installation through a tool like zvm (https://github.com/tristanisham/zvm). This lets you easily update to the latest dev version and switch between stable versions (similar to rustup or nvm).

The other install options are working too of course (install via brew - although in the past this was a bit brittle, or download and unpack prebuilt archives https://ziglang.org/download/) but those options are not as convenient for switching between the stable and dev version.


(I had been using zigup.) Interesting that they are using Go for this tool - not sure how that makes me feel!

I guess zvm was created before zig's package management solution (which added network and archive support to the stdlib). With those in place a zvm written in zig would be just as trivial as in go.

...how would LinkedIn be able to figure out that this isn't a fake profile made by a dog?

And how is a LinkedIn URL any different from any other URL that shows my CV?

FWIW, I had an account for a couple of years and eventually deleted it (don't remember when, but probably some time between 2010 and 2015) because it added exactly zero value (actually negative value because of all the spam).

Also just from a few days ago: https://www.pcmag.com/news/linkedin-is-quietly-training-ai-o...


Lol, Chrome asking me "Did you mean linkedin.com?" in a popup and 'helpfully' offering me to redirect to the linkedin.com URL is the icing on the cake.

VSCode is 'quite ok' on Linux as gdb frontend. The main limitation is the really bare bones variable view panel. With the MS C/C++ and CMake Tools extensions debugging pretty much works out of the box and feels 'IDE like' (in that you can select the build and debug targets instead of writing a launch.json and tasks.json file, and starting into the debugger for the current debug target is just pressing F5).

The other debugger frontend that works quite ok is QtCreator.


Very mid compared to Visual Studio in my experience. You don't even get a modules window, and there's a whole litany of core C++ debugging features missing.

Yeah, but compared to the Visual Studio debugger, pretty much everything is stuck in the stone age unfortunately.

I agree with this whole thread. I do use VS Code as my debugger frontend for C++ on Linux, but it's a real bummer compared to what's available on Windows. Hence this series!

Heh, I'm not exactly the 'raging', more the 'eye rolling' type, but I can relate each time I travel in German ICE trains with a cramped full second class and empty first class (which is the common situation on weekends). Just getting rid of the first class would pretty much double the train capacity between cities (regional trains already either don't have a first class at all, or a very small section - which also is always empty anyway).

Same in the Netherlands. First class in trains isn't beneficial to 95% of the travellers. I suspect the hefty first class season tickets used by upper middle class managers and civil servants count towards keeping it even in newly ordered trains.

So now suddenly when the bigwigs do it, software piracy and "IP theft" is totally fine? Thanks, good to know ;)

What's the point again of letting LLMs write code if I need to double check and understand each line anyway. Unless of course your previous way of programming was asking google "how do I..." and then copy-pasting code snippets from Stack Overflow without understanding the pasted code. For that situation, LLMs are indeed a minor improvement.

You can ask followup questions about the code it wrote. Without it you would need more effort and search more to understand the code snippet you found. For me it completely replaced googling.

I get it for things you do on the side to broaden your horizon, but how often do you actually need to Google things for your day job?

Idk, of the top of my head, I can't even remember the last time exactly. It's definitely >6 month ago.

Maybe that's the reason some people are so enthusiastic about it? They just didn't really know the tools they're using yet. Which is normal I guess, everyone starts at some point.
