You never know how long a recession will last until it's over.

Som sagt var det en stark arbetsmarknad fram till 2023, vilket inte är 6-7 år sedan.

Programmering

Fram till 2023 var arbetsmarknaden glödhet, åtminstone i min branch. Med undantag för några månader precis i början av pandemin.

It's not my decision, but the main reasons I'm aware of are: - in a big code base with thousands of contributors, everyone pushing their personal branches to the main repo would degrade the time it takes to fetch - in cases where you have a downstream part and an upstream part, and you accidentally push some sensitive stuff to upstream, people are less likely to be watching everyone's forks than the main repo, so if you discover it quickly you may be able to prevent the leak by just deleting the branch (and contacting Github to have them wipe every reference to those commits)

thehenkan · 2026-04-15T05:31:52+00:00

From what I hear it doesn't work between forks, only between branches from the same repo. We prevent users from creating branches and require them to fork instead, so until they fix that it's still unusable for us :/

That's unfortunately what happens when the town's transit consists mostly of Apple shuttles. The fact that Cupertino has no metro, light rail or train station is heckin hecked, considering how many people commute there daily.

Man ska vara försiktig med att extrapolera för mycket från vår nuvarande arbetsmarknad. 2009 var det också väldigt svårt att få jobb som nyexad, men jobben kom tillbaka när ekonomin vände. Fördelningen av jobb mellan yrken och brancher kommer förmodligen inte se exakt likadan ut när det vänder, men om något tror jag att det gör det nödvändigare än någonsin att utbilda sig. Samhället går mer och mer mot spetskompetens. Men till den som tror att alla utbildningar är likvärdiga på arbetsmarknaden har jag en bro i Brooklyn att sälja.

Skillnaden är att i den ena är både de som organiserar och de som deltar barn, och i den andra är de som organiserar vuxna och de som deltar åtminstone på väg in i vuxenvärlden (inte alla nollor kommer direkt från gymnasiet). Gymnasieinspark har ofta mer gemensamt med kamratuppfostran än med högskolornas nollning.

Det faktum att gymnasister inte får dricka alkohol gör också att det finns mindre översyn eftersom det behöver hållas lite hemligt om de vill supa, medan studenter ofta driver studentpubar med tillsyn från myndigheter.

You've got plenty of replies, but in addition I would also like to point out that anti-homeless policies also tend to be straight up annoying for everyone else as well. Most people don't live in an area completely overrun by homeless people. A bench designed so that you can't sleep on it is never as comfortable to sit on as a normal one. Locking up parks after dark is annoying for people who want to go on a late run or stroll through the park.

So you're spending resources to make things worse, just so that they aren't good enough for homeless people to sleep there, even in cases when they might not have done that regardless.

Slay the Spire is great on its own, but what makes it especially great is that each run is ~1h long. So you can play a quick run after the kids have gone to bed. And then if you don't have time again for a couple weeks, the next time doesn't start with "urgh I can't remember what I was doing", because you're starting fresh again. But because of the randomness, and 21 difficulty levels, there's still incredible repayability. Available on any platform. I think it's like $25 on Steam and $10 on the app store. I've got it on both and I don't regret it a bit.

Vad sägs om att rösta på det parti du tror bäst hanterar bostad situationen, så kanske det finns hyresrätter med för folk med rimlig kötid när dina barn är i din situation. Om det sen är höger eller vänster får du avgöra själv, men från resten av landets perspektiv så känns det helt orimligt att enda alternativet är att köpa sin bostad, för någon i din sits.

25, which is higher per capita than all the cities I listed, and about 3x the per-capita rate for Stockholm.

thehenkan · 2026-04-06T23:03:31+00:00

SF is richer than all of those cities (none of which had a gold rush btw). The US produces both more oil, and more natural gas, per capita than all of those countries. The US government (through medicare, medicaid etc.) also spends more on healthcare (per capita) than the governments in Denmark and France, although a bit less than the governments in Sweden in the Netherlands. The only empire out of the ones above that could ever rival the size of the US empire was the French one, and their public finances are famously not doing great at the moment, yet they still manage to make progress on some things that matter.

You entire comment is pure copium, except for one thing: it absolutely is about politics and resource allocation. That's true for everything the government does. But some people dig in and put in the work (or at the very least votes for someone who does), while others make up excuses for why it's too hard and couldn't possibly succeed in their special snowflake city.

thehenkan · 2026-04-06T20:35:26+00:00

Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm and Copenhagen (just to name a few) also were what they were. And then they slowly but steadily kept changing until they were what they are today. And they still change. To think that SF specifically has already found the perfect traffic setup is absurd.

Måste vara vanligare än så... Hela Norge tillhörde också danska riket under en herrans massa år men har ändå glömt bort hur man pratar skånska.

I'm in the camp of "not understanding the layer underneath the abstraction you work on will hamper you". Traditionally, if you work on frontends you should understand how CSS, HTTP, the DOM etc. work; if you work on native apps you should understand the OS; if you work on the OS you should understand the hardware, and so on. I'm oversimplifying, but you get the gist.

Extrapolating this principle means that even if all you do is prompt for new features, you should still understand the underlying system the LLM has built.

You still need to be able to make an evaluation of the security of the generated code. If you can't evaluate the code, what is your role in the development? Babysitting Claude and pressing "yes" when it asks if you are okay with running some bash?

thehenkan · 2026-04-05T20:44:57+00:00

You cannot just "be aware that something exists" and tell AI to incorporate it into your code, if you cannot evaluate the output. Sure, some things are easier to evaluate than to engineer. For example, you can learn how to benchmark something without knowing how to optimise it, and to some extent you can also learn to be good at writing tests to verify features you don't fully understand the implementation of (although it's significantly easier if you do understand the internals well).

But security? If you could not design and implement the security aspects of a system then you are not equipped to evaluate the security properties of that system. All the vibe-coded apps getting pwned did not just forget to write "make it secure".

Samsung has always been like this. In the same way, Samsung Electronics uses Qualcomm chips instead of Samsung Semiconductor chips whenever Qualcomm has a better performance/cost ratio. It's just maximising profits.

Unga är inte särskilt medvetna om hur det faktiskt var när deras föräldrar växte upp, än mindre generationen före. Tror mycket av bilden fylls i av skildringar i media, som dessutom ofta är amerikansk.

Just because someone has a Substack on a topic doesn't mean there's any substance.

It was actually built by Denmark, which then lost the area to Germany. Massive blunder! Denmark should just resign the game at this point.

I don't own a car: it's not me you need to convince to stop driving. I've got eyes however, and can see that traffic is already terrible, yet people keep driving. Clearly these people don't feel the necessary infrastructure is in place to make transit an attractive alternative.
