<p>not familiar with nigera perse but in most places with child marriage, the marriage is the reason girls drop out of school.<p>other then that often its financial reasons. they will put boys to school because those are classically expected to take care of the family while girl will be married off to some guy. (ofc this is changing in a lot of places bits its the historical reasons afaik)</p>

<p>its not _that_ hard -_-. just that a lot of music on violin played solo is acquired taste... just like many flutes, or drums.<p>the real sound comes when its played with other instruments in concert. it doesnt need years of practice it needs patience  the right setting and an extra joint on ur pinky :p</p>

<p>i think its kind of funny, simulating this must be incredibly tedious while there are many songs with good fake violins...<p>you mention a few details  theres so many more if you think about it..the human-instrument interaction has all sorts of imperfections.<p>tension in shoulders can make u bend the neck a bit. tension in fingers too much might pull out of tune. pushing not 100% straight along the bow might shift it sideways a bit changing how it crosses strings. Then ofc at what position is the bow on the strings (closer/futher from bridge).<p>humans are not perfect machines but in those imperfection lies the beauty. A perfectly played instrument is played by a human and has this 'humanization' across all areas where human and instrument and music itself interact imho.<p>if you produce music digitally this instantly will show, because all your instruments will sound flat and boring if you dont humanize.</p>

<p>cool stuff, for a bunch i didnt realise they were really distinct versions!<p>Use Helix now as the first one that stuck in my fingers though. before that it was always try a lil while and forget it (back to nano...).<p>Helix i think is like 'user friendly vi' or maybe 'no config vi'. dont need any plugins or weird stuff. everything essential works out of the box (for me)</p>

<p>right? its practically begging for it to be tried -_-. i wonder if someone somewhere will turn a sim farm on such companies to try and mass inject them to do weird shit or say nasty things to other customers etc. - ofc youd hope its set up in a way u cant, but then again we learn yesterday all ur stored passwords in edge are in plaintext mem... i would not be surprised if some of these companies get totally crapped on by some adversaries or malicious parties.</p>

<p>i think it depend on your goals and also your preference / expectation how your experience with LLMs is. i dont mind if they hallucinate. even if i have mental model of code i wont write it myself perfectly either.<p>the only downside i see is getting out of practice, which is why for my passion projects i dont use it. work is just work and pressing 1 or 2 and having 'good enough' can be a fine way to get through the day. (lucky me i dont write production code ;D... goals...)</p>

<p>rust community likes tui ever since Ratatui and some other packages are making it easier than for example ncurses or notcurses etc. - i think Ratatui package is one big propellor for tui use and creation nowadays from slightly before claude code etc.</p>

<p>do they promise to give it back. because is it really pre-paid in the contractual sense? it can be you just 'pay' actually and they can just keep the money. depends on the terms (which i cant be bothered to read ofc like anyone)</p>

<p>i never have weirdness people describe like AI interviews etc<p>it IS easier to have built up a resume but each time im hired they joke my resume is shit...<p>this stuff can be really dynamic though as in you can be lucky to run into nice recruiter, live somewhere with more work available, etc. etc.<p>i dont think its in 1 state, good or bad. it has a lot of dependencies.</p>

<p>maintaining services files.<p>i dont know why people keep insiting on that file while there are perfectly fine commands to pull from your boxes what is holding what port.<p>that is all besides the point though if you look at what you should be doing and keeping all this information in some kind of asset management system from which you can deploy things (which is kinda what k8s and docker etc. try to do (miserably)).<p>unless you are binding stuff to random ports on random boxes there is no need to do any of it at runtime and you can just consult your bookkeeping (for which etc services lacks a lot of details to use...)</p>
