Uses JEV to do something that's one line of code. Also, "leftpad" was a useless package from years ago that many important packages used instead of writing the code themselves. Its outage at some point broke a lot of packages.

I never said otherwise, but "production-grade" means it's not a toy -- the features and the way it is built is meant for production use and not a demo.

It requires the same basic modality

It wouldn't. Not for now

It's not only the sound, it's the sound, the bounce, the response to different strengths, the smell, the color. Humans are multimodal, machines are not, yet.

The moment we have a Michelin star level robot cook, then we can start thinking about automating this kind of stuff. For now, we have better results with humans!

Italians have absolutely zero problems replacing manual processes with technology. Creating each wheel is more science than art, everything is done in highly sterilized environments with exact temperature control, as an example.

As a person who's worked with the author (a great guy!) and with the F# community on a very large F# project: don't bother with F#, professionally speaking.

F# has many theoretical qualities, which make it fun if you like these things, but it also has some fundamental flaws, which is why it's not getting a wide professional adoption.

- the build system was a mess last I checked (slow, peculiar)

- syntax is not c-like or python-like (a big deal for a lot of people)

- you can't hire developers who know it (and certainly the few are not cheap)

- the community is a bit weird/obsessed/evangelizing (a turn off in a professional environment)

- it's clearly a second class citizen in the .net world (when stuff breaks, good luck getting support)

On the other hand

- it has discriminated unions

- units

- etc.

but do you need this stuff (not want: need)? most people don't.

I don't think this means what they think it means: a _lot_ of job postings get filled before they get counted. Think about it, there have been a lot of layoffs. Many of these people have friends that can refer them to jobs before they are posted.

A better graph would be of the number of people who self-report as being employed as software developer. I doubt that would show the same decline--there have not been many stories of people abandoning the profession because they could not find employment...

I am very confused by this post:

1. VSCode uses SSH (with its security profile) and the user can't do anything more with VSCode that they can already do with SSH. If the comparison is between a system without SSH and a system with VSCode and SSH--sure--I understand the concern, but it's an issue with enabling SSH and not VSCode.

2. VSCode can change files and persist? Well, it's a local editor, so yeah, it can change files and persist, that's literally its purpose. If that's an issue, disable editing permissions for the user.

Just a hunch that this could be a mistake of an overzealous community mod that thought that the nick Luigi Mangione was a troll... and that Evan Carroll is the best troll on the Stack Exchange network and he pushed the situation as he does and simply had the opposite effect than he thought he would ("Evan Carroll is flamebaiting again? There's no real problem, give him one year suspension" instead of "Oi, did someone make a mistake here here?")

Of course, I can be totally wrong but I've seen these things happen (I've been both a mod and a core dev at Stack closely working with the community team 8 years ago)
