True, but what happens to Europe/Nato when it finds out U.S isn't gonna protect it anymore? Bad news. Huge spend on defense, higher debt, etc.

Med isnt immune to automation or remote work as well (telemedicine)...its surprising a bit. I would be really surprised if there isnt tons of automation 10-20 years from now. Nurse…

Well plumbing has problems as well: cognitive requirements are not especially high so in theory many people can do it if they are trained. Many immigrants to the U.S probably consi…

You seem to be doing the same thing ...

This is quite rare and also types would have done nothing in this case.

Sometimes I provide a different point of view on internet comments. It's a big part of discussion forums you know.

Well YJIT succeeded to improve Rails by 30% in a year , so it IS possible. https://speed.yjit.org/

I'm saying for anyone's own mental health, we shouldn't expect constant praise and positivity from comments. You're gonna read stuff you won't like on the internet.

It's completely unrealistic Elixir (or anything else - Julia, whatever) will replace Python as the main AI/ML language, that's what I wanted to convey. I agree I was being a bit to…

Everything he said is spot on. I suspect algorithm interviews are optimized for FAANGS - e.g if you can do the whiteboard and coderpad under pressure and interruptions you'd statis…

Yeah I'm not sure about quoting Christopher McCandless so much... I was fascinated by him as well but end of the day he was a super young dude who decided to go into the wild with …

Still. For some data scientist who knows nothing about programming, or for some CS student getting started with his first programming assignment - which is easier - Python or Scala…

In what way is Scala a better Python? The 2 seem nothing alike to me.

You have a Jewish friend got it.

Yeah...no we are definitely talking past each other. good night!
