Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia.
I’ve never heard of Masters for PhD? Coursework is opposite direction?
- Comment on Docker or podman? 2 months ago:
They both kind of suck in their own way.
If you want to things to run at startup and you’re not on systemd, rootless docker is probably easier.
Otherwise podman is mostly fine but be careful of native overlay if you’re not on BTRFS, this causes some pretty long build times.

Or maybe I need product X to get by day to day but I can’t afford a health insurance plan.
It’s really not as simple as most people make it out to be.

Just install endeavourOS or something.
There’s a learning curve and a few games will break, but it is a much less hostile environment.

Well I use Bitcoin everyday and I’m grateful for it.
Banks don’t support the transactions I need to make.

How does this compare to auto111?
- Comment on I wrote a program for my boss. How legal is to to write the program again and make it FOSS? 5 months ago:
Have a discussion with chatGPT discussing a program you would like to write, use this to assist the development.
Evidence this as the source of the program. There is your re-research.
They might own the original program but it’s unlikely they broad concept.
- Comment on Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption? 6 months ago:
Well it’s there, in one loooong print out. It’s not as bad as I’m making it out to be, however, I went back to python unfortunately.
The crucial issue with Julia, no error messages.
So I use Julia for things that need to be fast (e.g. moving hdf5 to SQL and ffts) but I use python for everything else (except ggplot).

Simply, the lsp is far less useful. An object might have a dozen methods that act like verbs or some attributes that act as adjectives.
In Julia there is a huge number of functions, that work differently for different types and different combinations of types. So finding the documentation involves finding the right name for a function that does different things for different types, then scrolling down the docs for the the behaviour that corresponds to the specific combination of inputs.
I moved from R/Py to Julia for a while before moving back to Py (and a little bit of Rust).
I love how fast Julia is and the 1-index is fine for me, but I still prefer py for the oop.

I personally find multiple dispatch far more challenging to use than OOP. I’d reach for Torch over Flux any day.
Although, I really like that the majority of the Flux stack is Julia rather than a collection of Cpp.
- Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running? 6 months ago:
Honestly, Switch to a basic Linux distro and use docker directly.
I ran TrueNAS for a while and it’s just too complex and janky. I dropped back to void (for ZFS) and have a directory of compose files for radar/sonar, jellyfish, mediawiki, Lemmy etc.

Imagine an investment firm looking at a property market. They need data like price trends in the surrounding area.
Real estate API is expensive, scraping is free. By hiring an employee the can save money.
