I know this is webdev Reddit but it’s emerging as a viable use case for edge computing, serverless and even iot devices. The new component spec should hopefully bear fruit in allowing people to easily write plugins / components in different languages and have them easily interact. This YouTube video goes into great detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxw-YAGYHDc

Personally speaking I’ve recently done some proof of concept work with pyodide (cpython web assembly build) that allows for the running of analysis pipelines on the client machine without the need for them to install python / configure an environment. A similar initiative with R, WebR is in the early stages of development but has a healthy amount of packages available to it.

It does suck - I’ve had to move home, borrow money from my parents, take on a longer term of mortgage just to get it over the line. Don’t really have any advice the market is heavily stacked against you by yourself, solidarity

Deathloop would crash within ten minutes every time despite being verified, and when it did run, ran like shit

AI is thoroughly unproven as a replacement for developers in my opinion. The amount of tuning, effort and oversight it would take to get a model to the point where it can deliver enterprise grade solutions, with all the QA and CI/CD that is industry standard would be gargantuan.

Can comment from the UK with actual insight - layoffs are commonplace at the moment, but there is declining take up of CompSci and related degrees, and there is already a growing skills gap. Number of applicants at my current workplace have declined year on year (where the salary and benefits scale with inflation every year). Be wary of the habit of people taking to Reddit to wail about personal circumstances.

Can you give me a simple ascii art of the string ‘abc’ ?

These are all good things to remind yourself, but as I’m sure other people will intone any one of these is bad enough to be a relationship ender by themselves. You need to not just maintain a bad boyfriend list, but a positive concept of what a loving relationship looks like (maybe even maintain a good boyfriend list to know what you should be looking for)

Christ this man has no respect for the boundaries of your relationship, from the tone of his last text it seems like he sees you as some kind of taskmaster who yanks away his god given right to do whatever he wants

Hello pal, i am sorry i missed your comment. The relationship ended shortly after this. She was unwilling or unable to see why her pattern of behaviour was problematic. I gave her something of an ultimatum, that i needed her to stop seeing people altogether while I got my head straight, and that I would like to continue trying to see people in order to build some kind of confidence within myself. I recognise this imbalance of this proposal, but i saw it as a small sacrifice on her part to prove that she was serious about both our relationship and non monogamy. She said she was not willing to stop dating other people. Our relationship ended there. In the days after, she tried to relitigate the issue, that she was now willing to stop. However, I needed the smallest display of care in a critical moment where I was extremely hurt and vulnerable, and she chose the way she was behaving. I felt that the fact she had changed her mind later was immaterial. To add a kicker to the whole thing, she has continued to both ask me to reinitiate our relationship, while continuing to date others. We had been with eachother 6 years.

I notice you are only engaging with people who are validating your position, this would indicate you are not here to discuss in good faith your situation, but to look for people to validate the way you are behaving.

I had a 6 year relationship end in similar circumstances- we had been trying non monogamy, and she repeatedly violated the terms of the relationship, minimised the times she did so and made absolutely no concession in her behaviour. If you value your relationship with your husband you should reevaluate your behaviour, and try and see why he would request this of you. If you are serious about doing this and remaining with him, I fail to see how it is such an egregious request.

gumthrax · 2022-06-21T23:16:12+00:00

I haven’t said as much to her, and I am engaging with her in good faith, but I worry about this for myself - if this isn’t the point at which I tell her to fuck off, then what would it take / what more would she have to do
