I live in a country and I'm trying to learn the language. I also take weekly classes and occasionally use private tutoring when I have time. I still get a ton of value out of duolingo, its exercises are easy to do in spare moments and it's a great way to work on vocabulary and passive grammar understanding, I love it.
It's not nearly enough on it's own to learn a language though, it's very very good as a supplement though, ime
Do we see this trend continuing through the remainder of this year? Is there any reason to expect a shift back in favour of employers in the labour market here in the near future?
In the long-term, an increase in full-remote positions and offshoring will be broadly implemented to cut costs. But that takes time to do without affecting quality and productivity.
Offshoring wages and management have traditionally militated against quality parity. Cutting costs 75% is just a set up for failure in that regard. On the other hand, cutting only 20% or 30% you will find a lot of leetcoders on other continents.
We aren't talking about top surgeons or airline pilots who need access to rare equipment, simulators, and hands-on training. We are talking about people who need to train by leetcoding on a 12 year-old laptop in a dank basement with a 3G phone hotspot
Genuinely interested in hearing what other people get out of it. I couldn't get past Carse's overwrought use of chiasmus. After finally reaching the end, he places a coy little phrase which falls flat because he spilled the beans 66 sections earlier and it irks me to this day.
I agree that the prose and structure is not the strong point.
I appreciated it for giving a clearly articulated alternative to zero sum competitive games. It helped me think about the playfulness of cooperative creativity in a new more holistic way, as well as the idea that it’s worth doing things that you’ll never reach an end of.
I don’t doubt that if I read it again I’d share your criticisms though, it’s a thin volume with a very sweet idea at the core of it, at the end of the day.
I would have thought it was an asshole comment for implying that having kids makes you less productive. But having kids DOES make you less productive (at least when they are young) or at the very least removes great swaths of time that you would have had available otherwise, if you involve yourself with their lives at all.
Having kids or not is intensely personal and everyone has to make that decision themselves, not having them is extremely valid
I want to address your direct question: no you are not being self centered; that someone meant to be assessing you has a passing familiarity with your resume is an extremely reasonable expectation.
It might not be the interviewers fault if they aren’t given adequate preparation time but that just means the place isn’t taking hiring particularly seriously, or that they interview tons of people.
I realize it’s not always possible to do so, but you and everyone else deserve to work at a place that treats them with respect, don’t feel bad for desiring this most basic thing.
I know you meant resistance training in general wrt astronauts in space but I just got the funniest image in my head of Chris Hadfield doing a zero G overhead press with a loaded bar and floating all over the place hahaha
So far I've seen no rules stating that world records should be taking place on earth gravity. Maybe this is my chance to take some weightlifting records.
"Zig does not support RAII or operator overloading because both make it very difficult to tell where function calls happen just by looking at a function body."
"Zig's standard library is still very young, but the goal is for every feature that uses an allocator to accept an allocator at runtime, or possibly at either compile time or runtime."

How about showing an error if you don't call the deconstructor manually?
