Then why are these labelled as "production" ready?

And surely redis is a runtime image?

The argument seems to be: don't promote/support good ideas or projects because if they're good they'll likely succeed without you, and then the initiator will be slightly more confident.

Which is phrased as "not my job" for some reason.

Why does this not use chisel? I assume you at least drop the bin dir? Although the presence of ncurses is super weird

I don't understand why one would go halfway and leave packages which are unneeded for services. The only executable in a hardened container image should be your application.

Zed is snappy in the same way that notepad ++ is snappy: If you don't support 10% of language features you can avoid the hard work. Unfortunately this means that non trivial projects have false positive errors everywhere.

Except a job offer is generally non binding, so they could interview you, offer the job, then withdraw it.

So never being offered a job because it doesn't exist doesn't lose you anything.

I just checked UK stats and from my reading of ONS's homicide data it's entirely possible it's around zero from burglary gone wrong.

The us is only 5 times bigger

That's not how casting works. It's actually super locked down: the TV loads a netflix website and you can't create your own Chromecast receivers.

So that they have the flexibility to run it as a staff service with substantial delay by slotting it in later gaps in the schedule.

No passenger would accept 30 mins delays every day.

None of the things you mention are things I've seen in my union covered jobs in the UK.

I've never heard of union rules here. Employees are not required to be part of the union in order to get their benefits, the unions just negotiate with employers on behalf of all employees. I've also never heard of credentials/gatekeeping for unions in the companies I've worked in.

For reference, I was working as a software developer at a University on a research project: I got the benefits of the higher education university (nationally negotiated pay scales, holiday benefits, etc) but was not a member.

Pay was lower, yes, but that wasn't mandatory; that was just the budget of a research project.

Scraping is about harvesting data. Just using the API like any other user is clearly not scraping.

Is browsing linkedin scraping? Is browsing hacker news through an alternate client scraping?

No, scraping is rehosting hacker news.

> Warranty Included

> Every purchase is covered by a 1-year warranty for peace of mind protection.

Uh, why are you marketing a bare minimum (often legally required) warranty as a pro? It kinda conflicts with "built to last"!

You'd be better off not even mentioning it.

Image data is just encapsulated: you just take a jpeg file and write it to bytes and wrap it a little.

You're in the UK: take advantage of the various schemes that allow people with disabilities to get guaranteed first interviews.

If you need any software job you might even have luck with graduate schemes at companies like BT who I believe will have similar shortcuts through recruitment for those with disabilities.

But why should it take time at all? Newer developer tooling (especially some of the rust tools e.g. UV) are lightning fast.

Wouldn't it be better if you asked for it and rather than having to manage workers it was just... Done

Nvidia's parakeet https://huggingface.co/nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2 appears to be state of the art for english: 10x faster than Whisper.

My mid-range AMD CPU is multiple times faster than realtime with parakeet.

It mentions ONNX, so I imagine an ONNX model is or will be available.

ONNX runtime is a single library, with C#'s package being ~115MB compressed.

Not tiny, but usually only a few lines to actually run and only a single dependency.
