hope this does well. We see people trying again and again like FireChat or Berty it seems that it works for a bit with some devices but then Apple & Google make updates and the app dies.
In general mobile app development seems to be very maintanence heavy
Is this from the same Soham that is doing the "job stacking" scam to many companies? These people make the tech HR a nightmare for all others and a big reason for the back to office drive
the copilote being aware of postgres schema is a thing I manually have to deal with in cursor rules. I keep all the SQL DLL files that created any table in context but then also its best to have cursor rules to tell it to use one orm if possible
Its so sad that companies arn't ok with a simple US llc wrapper. EU people can deal with their own taxes the possible tax savings are well worth the extra paper work for an EU worker so i'm sure they would be willing. But HR compliance people are so risk averse they don't want to see any non standard candidates.

Several companies have been taking this approach recently, requiring you to set up a "small one-person business" (replace with whatever it's called in your specific EU country) which is a long and costly bureaucratic process so that you can pay a shit-ton of taxes while getting less net salary than if they would just pay the taxes for you (like any other EU employer). They give you 0.75x the money they themselves would spend to employ you while covering the taxes, tell you to deal with it yourself, and wrap it in cellophane with "hey but you're saving so much on the taxes!". Of course completely ignoring that you, the employee living in your EU country, are the one who actually benefits from them.
What are you implying? The structure for contracting or consultancy in Ireland and most of Western Europe is exactly that - setup a one-person LLC or act as a sole-trader
hydra/pg_duckdb embeds duckdb to query existing data on S3. So it is kind of targeting a completely different use case (someone already prepares and shared a dataset and you just want to query it).
pg_mooncake (&crunchyData) is implementing columnstore tables in postgres, so you can actually use postgres as a data-warehouse (to ingest/ update and run analytics queries)
no fan if this gov but I always found the university cut if grants designated for specific things too high. In many US universtiies the professors don't get a sallary if they don't bring in grants. And with such a big overhead universiteis sure want it this way. In some Euro universiteis like ETH Zurich or Max Planck instituties the prof's get a pretty good baseline funding from the institutional funding (given top down from taxes) and inside these kind of instutitions the professors have so much more freedom to think about what experiment is the most informative.
Also a side note while bot of the named universities are top 10 world wide for research output they don't spend millions on landscaping or sports facilities most things are kinda old but functional.
Swiss universities aren’t shabby, they were building a Swiss cheese building at EPFL when I was there. But ya, landscaping was mostly done by goats (really!). American universities are pretty luxurious in comparison.
Isolation is indeed the vibe on mastodon. And they get upset when they realize that all their posts are publically boradcast over an open websocket api.
I’m sure CDC researchers are thinking the same thing about their work.
Unfortunately, totalitarianism is defined by its effects on science, education, and our private life. I expect apolitical topics to become rarer here simply because there will be no escaping it.
I didn't think my Chromecast was that old (its the puck style) but whenever I try this with VLC using the "Render" menu (on macOS) it just... doesn't work. The Chromecast just never sees it (even though it shows up in the Render menu in VLC)
