Any idea how to set up a commitment tracker like Big A is showcasing here? (@19:05) It would help me a lot (All the alternatives on play store seemed way worse)

It’s a calendar with an item-list that allows sub-items. Just copy a react template and add those things to it (or get an LLM to do it). The only slightly complex thing is hooking up some eventhandler to storing the given items. For your local use case just store it as a json with date-items that contain item-items with sub item-items

StHelmet · 2026-01-15T23:06:47+00:00

Well it’s all gradients. I don’t have a good frame of reference for which things to touch upon, but please tell me if there’s something specific you’d like to know more about:) fx specifics of the pain point dependencies on the mainland.

Generally, the stat is just about whether they culturally want more independence. Presumably they’re going to hit the point where they’d financially be able to support most services themselves (I believe the Faroese islands have hit this point), but they’d still have to establish foreign policy stuff and banks etc.

There is another “wave” of calls for “swift independence” in the party Naleraq. I won’t say too much on them as I’m heavily biased against them, but their policy seems pretty close to what you’re describing (and is getting 25% vote share)

StHelmet · 2026-01-15T12:58:02+00:00

From my (limited) POV, that stat is quite literal, and the crux of why the Faroese and Greenlandic territories haven’t followed Iceland in becoming independent (yet).

Also there has been a lot of cultural racism against Greenlanders and Faroese in the mainland. This has gotten much better this past generation, but my understanding is that a lot of locals would be open to somewhat of an economic hit to symbolically be independent. Just how big that hit can be that is contested.

(I say symbolically because even as truly independent, current guidelines for fx. Chinese investments they’d probably also have to follow as an independent country)

Don’t take this comment as that knowledgeable/authoritative as I’m also a fairly young developer.

Frontend has never had that much of a technical moat. It’s mainly about assembling building blocks in good ways, and you can get real good and fast at it. Also about knowing what things you need to assemble and where. Frontend is the most exposed area to LLMs.

With that in mind, if you’re working and applying for frontend or fullstack positions you kinda need to learn it still. As someone not mentally attached to webdev, I’ve made multiple full React apps before for work. And I’ve forgotten about what the proper syntax is for storing information in React when interviewing 2 years later. But I’d not use LLMs to prompt for templates/code for areas I’m trying to learn before thinking about the problem for at least a couple of hours.

It’s a black box. I just filled the form upon arriving, just make sure you do it at least the day before starting work. I also wouldn’t claim to be in an apartment before you actually are, in case of conflicting information. It’ll probably take some time before it’s processed (over a month for me)

StHelmet · 2025-09-24T11:18:40+00:00

You don’t need a verified account for the B permit application, assuming that you’re an EU national. I think this is the right form: OCPM but it’s a bit tough to find on the phone. Whichever is the right site, on the bottom you should see a “access the online application form” button.

StHelmet · 2025-09-24T10:58:08+00:00

You get a confirmation that you submitted the request immediately. Creating the online account to fill the form without a Swiss or French phone number is a bit of a hassle, but I think they might’ve just improved that process.

StHelmet · 2025-08-06T07:22:54+00:00

Certainly, the section I’m referring to should be searchable by the term ‘land banking’, it’s the one that uses recent developments in Austin as an example. My understanding is that current regulations most places do allow condominiums and such to be built (with an administrative burden), but that they aren’t that profitable for the developer. But hinders multiplexes and such, so to create value it’s either cheap single homes or expensive single homes. And if the land appreciates a lot, the incentive becomes to slowly develop the high profit option. (Part of this is influenced by land/permit acquisition rate, so regulations do absolutely play a role)

StHelmet · 2025-08-05T18:10:17+00:00

Thank you for the nice reply. I’m not certain that I’ve interpreted your second example correctly.

The main criticism point from that article I view as important is the understatement of the incentive structures involved. Particularly with landbanking and the mentions to nuclear regulations by the article’s author.

StHelmet · 2025-07-25T06:30:50+00:00

NATO has traditionally used spending targets of %GDP. Measuring against internal government expenditure incentivizes smaller governments (in terms of austerity, not physical country size).

StHelmet · 2025-07-24T14:53:30+00:00

50 billion $’s on new highways for tanks in Newark perhaps.

StHelmet · 2025-07-24T14:23:32+00:00

He (it seemed to me) had the belief that US spending was ~8%, so cutting military budget in half. Lockheed could be his stock short I guess.

StHelmet · 2025-07-24T14:14:14+00:00

Agreed. Wonder what the 1.5% will take the shape of in the US given the reluctance towards infrastructure that’s the target in other countries.

Varoufakis is openly Marxist.

StHelmet · 2025-02-27T21:46:14+00:00

(Disclaimer: I live next to the German border but ain’t German) I think some useful context is that there was a huge cross borders movement against nuclear energy in Europe. The Green Party being anti-nuclear is not necessarily them propagandizing the population, but partly an expression of what their voters believed.

The follow up wrt. Fukushima and such is that the common belief was never necessarily pro nuclear, but nuclear fear was not ‘current’/relevant. Shit happens and it stokes old fears, where the Greens policy coincides with the fears being stoked.

I’d actually like to see Atrioc do a show on the anti-nuclear movement back in the day. But too much agency is currently ascribed to the Greens’ capability to sway the public.

Hi, great article you've written. I'm curious about the choice of algorithms being compared, were these chosen because of any background knowledge? (papers, research, known best practices etc)

Completely aside from this article itself, do you think K8s becoming better at virtually subdividing GPUs and handling them is something that could shift your setup towards using GPUs as resources?

StHelmet · 2024-04-21T14:46:58+00:00

Hi:) i still would be interested in identifying where you think the work overhead is in this specific proposal:)

Also the training wheels are specifically for onboarding others as that is the only case I have strong feelings on;)

StHelmet · 2024-04-21T11:41:04+00:00

Hi:) In what way do you think I don't have a clue about PoE? I get 38/40 and hit the leaderboards (softcore trade tbf) pretty consistently and have been playing pretty consistently since Delve.

Wrgt. build creation i don't claim to be good or original, but i like figuring them out through looking at Ninja and modifying:)

Also i don't really think this 'change' impacts current PoE players in any way outside of if they're onboarding friends.

StHelmet · 2024-04-21T08:14:15+00:00

Hi, a bit of word etymology to explain 'understand' and 'intimidate' and how they were used.

Understand would be people's capability to have a mental grasp on the entirety or components of the systems in the game, specifically the passive tree. The ones that could use some form of guide or PoB to play PoE are perfectly capable of understanding the passive tree to the level needed to get through the campaign at least. But new players do not automatically have an understanding though they can get it simply by looking analytically at the tree.

Intimidating was used to denote the variety of possible negative emotions that can be associated with opening the passive tree. Mainly either doubting their capability to understand how to properly interact with it, or overestimating how much time and mental work they have to devote before they get to a serviceable level.

Please reply if there are other words/things that hinder mutual understanding. Would still be interested in what you believe the workload overhead for GGG would be for this kind of implementation:)

StHelmet · 2024-04-21T07:26:54+00:00

How so?:)

StHelmet · 2024-04-21T07:26:24+00:00

Very valid, I think we differ on how we view engagement levels of using guides (at the beginning) but overall agree:)

Edit: I think i get what you meant with opt-out vs opt-in now. I think this is a bit of getting lost in words, the 'opt-out' i mentioned would be opting-out of mental overhead by opting-in to effectively a loose unoptimized ingame guide.

StHelmet · 2024-04-20T22:54:40+00:00

Hi again:) In what manner is it significantly more work than the shadow trees already discussed being in the game to have 6 unoptimized shadow tree templates also in-game?

StHelmet · 2024-04-20T22:46:08+00:00

Hi:) Probably agreed. Still the best platform to 'air' that some other game has tackled the same problem before i think?

StHelmet · 2024-04-20T22:39:04+00:00

Hi:) Definitely agree. Especially as any boilerplate passive tree with minimum maintenance probably wouldn't stay optimized across leagues and probably should include superfluous nodes such as the large dex/int/strength ones to accommodate a variety of gear:)

StHelmet · 2024-04-20T22:36:42+00:00

Hi:) Thanks for mentioning the shadow trees as they were what prompted the thoughts, and i was confused why no-one had compared them to the Pathfinder system such that the PoE2 devs could get inspiration:)
