Re:The jobs apocalypse is postponed. An AI jobs boom is here

> The Economist estimates that AI has so far created around 1m new jobs in America. That easily exceeds the roughly 200,000 lay-offs attributed to AI since mid-2023, and appears more than enough to offset weaker hiring in many back-office roles. America’s AI infrastructure splurge has created many of them. (...) That building spree requires armies of workers: electricians to wire them, HVAC specialists to stop racks from overheating, grid engineers to hook them up to the power supply and technicians to install and maintain the machines.
I'm not sure whether the salaries of the new jobs are on par with those of the lost jobs.

I never understood why those tools need to fork Visual Studio Code. Wouldn't an extension suffice?

Why don't refactor just the parts the need it instead of rewriting everything?

In the code example, I guess the variable `k_sz` is undefined in the call `hm_get(map, k, k_sz)`. Hope that helps.

Re:What I learned with Rdio without using Rdio

> Still searching for an Rdio substitute though...
After the news about Rdio, I have started to search for a replacement. So far I have tried Spotify, Deezer and Google Play Music.
With respect to the web player, I felt that Google's service is closer to Rdio in listening experience than others. It has a clean interface, search works well, and curated-radio is very good. On the other hand, Spotify desktop app on Linux is OK and would be a good replacement to Rdio web player, but I have not tried any mobile app yet.
