Well, I live in Europe and in my and in neighbouring countries it works overall flawflessly. Cars usually stop at pedestrian crossings, without anyone having to carry flags, warning lights etc.

Don’t want to sound rude, but the USA (I assume you refer to when talking about “america”) is really not a good example for anything when it comes to topics concerning considering others.

Also if there’s a lack of enforcement, maybe try less enforcing other shit and concentrate on enforcing things which are valueable for everyone. Freedom my ass…

Is this some kind of joke I don’t get? Just have a law that pedestrians on crosswalks have priority and introduce a hefty fine for cars not stopping. Works flawlessly in other countries.

How is the above “a brilliant campaign”?

That’s why they speak English (kind of) over there. Q.E.D.

As others already pointed out: the additional context information. So while I probably got the initial idea of the photo, adding the information that this crown was from the louvre heist, added a new layer of information. Now I could also laugh about the probably unintended joke that he tried to steal his royality back. It just makes the photo so much more interesting.

As a non blind person I really appreciate these alt texts/image descriptions.

Maybe try to find a Discord with an interesting topic. Or try gaming, for example join a guild in “Where winds meet” (free game). Or if you speak a second language try conversationexchange.com and find a language partner.

You meet people there and can write/speak to them. Also don’t tell them about your situation, just try to “blend in” (won’t work for conversationexchange.com since this is more private). No one wants to be bothered with the problems of unknown people. Ask open questions either about the common topic or about the other person. Try to learn about them. Most people are flattered when you show genuine interest in what the do/like.

If you want to meet people try an app for your region where people meet (meetup or something). Choose something where you either hear a talk with a get together afterwards or where people do someting together (eg bord gaming session, hiking). It helps to have something in common to talk about.

If there’s a cafe/little shop near you go there regularly. The staff will recognise you and chat a bit after some time. But please remember, it’s their work, don’t bother them to much. They mostly only show interest because they have to. But chances are you’ll meet other people there who want someone to speak to.

If you only want to speak to someone “to stay sane” try to get a therapist or call a helpline for that. They are trained to help you or can give you contacts who can.

Random people usually have their own problems and don’t want to hear about yours. For that you need to make friends which is a long process. To find a friend you need to spend a long time with the person and the older we get the less time we have. But there are also groups for finding friends in your area. It’s a common problem.

You can also volunteer for something, for example an animal shelter or a food bank. They’re always glad if someone is willing to help and you meet people. If that is to much, try walking dogs for an animal shelter. Visit a dog park (even without a dog). You’ll have a conversation in no time. Ask about their dogs. Say you’ll think of getting one, what they would recommend for you.

So don’t despair and good luck!

Lichtdurchflutet!

Is that a Dalec on the right?

We all have hundreds of contacts

What? Really? Can’t relate.

I am not arguing against an effect system. They can help in certain circumstances. But none of the reasons in the article are one of them. Also the article is a bit lopsided because the real pain with these systems is error handling, resource handling like transactions or parallelism etc.

What you write about the “other benefits” profiling and logging is also not the reason to introduce such a system.

What does an api request has to do with business logic?

It feels a bit as if you just discovered the idea of effect systems and are now trying to justify to use it no matter what. 😉

However, I think it’s safe to say this architecture is effectively AI-native.

Lol…at first I thought the article wasn’t satire until I found the AI part. Well done.

Summary: Hey, let’s add another abstraction layer so we don’t need to mock these calls, but we don’t test what happends in that pesky database call, because we would need to mock that somehow. But now we need AI to handle the abstraction layer.

I think I’ll use this article as a basis for discussion for job interviews.

Thanks.

I don’t really like it. It sounds tinny not woody. Gooooorn.

Yes. Same as: 225×2 is not 550. Well, duh, obviously

What a looser! If they would shave each others head during a meeting this would be much more productive. But the big question is: who hired all the hairy people in the first place?

This article is a bit disappointing. I would like to know why it was discontinued. Roads too bad, too expensive, too inconvenient, superseeded by?

I admired all the stars in the photo. Then I realized how dusty my screen was.
