Predictably people are moving back to SMS for notifications. Not as nice for linking to your app but once the user opts in you don't have to deal with the Apple/Google complexity.

French immigration is currently allowing remote workers on the one year visitor visa, so long as your company doesn't have a presence in France. Basically, as long as you are not doing business in France or taking a job from a local they are fine with it.

However, it's difficult to proceed to a residency permit in this situation, and you can't join the national healthcare system.

Senator Wyden has been pretty focused on it. I think it's going to take some changes in Congress before it happens though.

You won't find a 50 year old American Chestnut anywhere lol, they were wiped out almost entirely.

You're moving the goalposts on his poor analogy :)

Most of the trees do just fine, and these nurseries will typically provide a warranty.

On the contrary, you can solve the tree problem with money. There are nurseries that sell mature trees -- most people though will not choose to spend $20k on a tree.

It's a strategy that's only really available to the ultra wealthy, because the banks are willing to give them a bespoke loan with a much lower interest rate that's payable after they die. There's also a complex trust setup to pass the asset to their heirs.

Another tangent that I didn't see in the thread is that the Supreme Court just confirmed a ruling that LLM created art isn't copyrightable since the author must be human for copyright to apply.

If the new code was generated entirely by an LLM, can it be licensed at all? Or is it automatically in the public domain?

I'm working on a language learning framework based on the ideas of comprehensible input and spaced repetition learning.

The idea is you take a book you want to read, and it gets translated but also rewritten to match your current learning level. And as you read/listen it introduces new words to learn, reinforced by spaced repetition.

We're taking a trip to France this summer and I'm hoping to have something usable for at least a couple months before we go.

Currently working on the mechanics of extracting content from ebooks.

Same in Oregon. Snowpack way below normal.

Canned beans are already cooked, so add them at the end to heat through. Or, start from dried beans, but it takes experimentation to get them to the desired texture.

If you have GitHub copilot you can create github issues and assign them to copilot. All you need is a browser.

A lot of backwards looping is a remnant of efficient loops in programming days of yore - you compare your iterator to 0 each time, which is slightly more efficient than comparing to another variable.

We've been using Dato for 5 years or so - a bit of a weird use case probably, we're driving configuration of our internal EHR with it. But it is very nice for creating a structured set of data models and then you've got a nice UI to input the data and a nice API for grabbing the data, all of which the engineering team didn't need to build.

It's been rock solid for us.

As an actual customer, I have the opposite reaction. They are doing well and that gives me peace of mind.

First time hearing of it.

At first glance it looks more complicated than DBOS, not easier. DBOS is just a library and doesn't require a special DSL.

Also we use node which it Little horse doesn't seem to support.

We recently started using DBOS for durable execution - it's much easier to integrate than Temporal and it Just Uses Postgres(tm), which is nice.

I looked at lustre for a recent project and it seems very nice. But the ecosystem is pretty small yet (I could find no examples of auth, for one), so I ended up going with liveview.

I'm hoping it succeeds and gets bigger because I really like its ergonomics.

You don't have to be rich to move to Europe. The cost of living in most European countries is less than the USA (which you would expect, given their lower salaries).
