I'm wondering: What did she tell you that made you build the website? Did she ask the same thing from the AI? Did you bridge any gaps the AI didn't do for you? I don't know the ans…

Now you can be sure they write their announcements by hand. Doesn't really matter, does it?

I had long discussions over whether we could just not use tons on npm libraries and use the native browser feature for things like that. I typically lose these discussions because …

They're not, but all of their colleagues are.

I really like this paragraph about management caring about AI: > What makes this worse, is our bosses have bought into it this time too. My managers never cared much about database…

At least you got a mug!

If you learn about the Wuppertal suspended monorail, you should also read about Tuffi, the elephant that jumped off of it in 1950. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuffi

The question is whether roads are a good thing.

Yep. Just tax the rich and by that I mean actually rich like people worth more than 10 million dollars. Nobody will ever need more than that. Increasing tax on every day things wil…

Just no. Funding road infrastructure will just bring more cars on roads. That money should be spent on public transportation so it actually benefits the society.

Maybe this would be an interesting alternative runtime environment for PySpark? I think currently PySpark runs in Python and somehow interacts with a JVM and relies on copying data…
