> LanguageExt.CodeGen - not much from what I can tell

Yes, I meant that one.

> None really, the CodeGeneration.Roslyn.BuildTime hasn't had much love, and a new version they built (to support plugins) just fundamentally didn't work, so it clearly wasn't tested properly. But, the version I'm using is stable right now, I just can't migrate to .NET Standard 2.1 until they bring the new one out, so that is a limiting factor for me at the moment.

Ah, that's too bad. Visual Studio 2019 finally has a really nice and frictionless way to do code generation, but it is pretty complicated to bootstrap all the stuff that CodeGeneration.Rosylin takes care of. I wish Microsoft sponsored or supported it in some way. There is also a fork of it at https://github.com/mwpowellhtx/Code.Generation.Roslyn, but I don't know how well it works.

Thanks for all the answers!

How to build a real-time multiplayer game using only Firebase as a back end
This is not meant as a complete solution for all the worlds ills, it's just an illustration of the concept and how proper matching would avoid the issue in the OP. Adding \ to the exclusion list just plasters over the pile of garbage that is the original "magic" regexp.

$ are there because you can't have '-' at the end of the label. You'd need more chars there if you want to use this as a part of full URL parser. Or just use browser's facilities for parsing URLs.

Also noone cares if you can DoS your own browser tab/iframe. You probably can't anyway, because browser has other mechanisms to prevent that. But yes, you'd need to limit this too in real code, to the max length of the label part of the domain name.
It’s more that we can’t achieve a single civilization goal, but are always wishing we could solve a cooler problem than the ones at hand.
Well, why not indeed.

Pros:

- you get a good glimpse of both imperative and functional language worlds;

- you get to practice using low-level data structures;

- you get used to thinking about concepts like ownership (on a higher level) that are applicable to other languages;

- you get used to consistent code styling that would look appropriate in other languages;

- chances are whatever popular language you learn next will feel like a walk in the park.

Cons:

- it is not an 'OOP' language;

- Rust is highly addictive and contagious;

- chances are whatever popular language you learn next will feel lacking compared to Rust;

- actually landing a Rust gig would be extremely hard.

970km one way is very long for a helicopter. That's the reason they didn't use one in this case. I'm not sure if there are any helicopters to this day that will do 2000km without refueling.

Helicopters these days can at least get one way, so the simplest solution today would probably be dropping return fuel from a cargo plane or doing in-flight refueling of a helicopter.

> Calling the coast "then Germany" in May is pretty weird.

Founded in 1255 by Germans, Kolberg was part of Prussian Pomerania from the 1648 Peace of Westphalia until the August 1945 Potsdam Agreements which implicitly recognised the Soviet capture of eastern Poland and gave Poland eastern Germany in return; this was not finalised until the 1990 Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany. It's perfectly reasonable to refer to Prussian territory in early 1945 as Germany.

(I am not complaining about the transfer to Poland — after the inhumanity of the German occupation of Poland itself it was only just. It does seem a bit unjust that eastern Poland is still part of Russia though!)

TensorFlow Quantum: Open-Source Library for Quantum Machine Learning
Going to mercury on rockets alone is a non-starter, because when you drop your perihelion low enough to rendezvous with it, your velocity near Mercury will be ridiculous, and there is not enough atmosphere at Mercury to shed the velocity so you have to do it the hard way.

However, there is a very efficient trajectory that could be used by solar sailing ships for a fast, cheap route to Mercury once every 16 months. You leave Earth for Venus, where you do a gravity assist to drop your perihelion significantly below the orbit of Mercury, just to get low enough that a reasonable solar sail can get reasonable thrust even with significant cargo. Then you can use your infinite delta-v to match your aphelion with Mercury, and can do an efficient capture trajectory.

Belong to who? All known solar space and beyond is literally devoid of any life at all. Are you assuming super aliens? Or perhaps a god of some kind, who pre-claims ownership? And if so, how did these beings get their "right" to have it?.

What exactly countermands our right to the take over the moon or any other part of local space? Name some concrete thing, not just an arbitrary notion of rights.

The obvious from these, to what purpose zero impact exploration of space? Sure, nothing should be destroyed just because... But you do realize that you're not talking about fragile ecosystems here, but vast dead landscapes that are the literal products of cataclysmic destructive processes that are in many places still ongoing?

Your comment is so absurdly out of context for the environments we're all discussing here that it's tempting to think you're trolling.
The big difference that makes Java cumbersome is that you always have object references (ie pointers), thus an array of objects is really an array of pointers to objects that are in another memory location.

C/C++ structs(classes) on the other hand represents a memory layout so an array of "objects" would be laid out as a single contigious block of memory. (and this works well for a GPU)

There is/was a propsal for Java for value types but it hasn't yet been approved. https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/169

(As a side note, C# classes are used as refernces like in Java but they also have "struct" in C# that behaves like C structs, and this is what the Unity boost compiler leverages and could be used for a GPU variant with less restrictions)

p.s. I created a hn user just so I could add my 2 cents..
I would look at several things

1. junior positions available (you already did that)

2. local community/meetups available (bonus points if you have friends that could tutor you)

3. other paths to tech companies (i.e. have seen people starting as manual testers/doc-writers/L1 support, transfering later down the line to more technical positions, but not every org supports it)

Despite the bad rap it has gotten in its early days, PHP is fine and if you can learn it, you will be fine. Laravel and Symphone frameworks are used to-date and there still is a vibrant cottage-industry around wordpress-plugins.

Similarily, I know people that only know C# or only know Java and they get by just fine.

On the other hand, once you learn your third language and maybe expand to some more niche languages (i.e. I remember when I finally learned SQL, or dabbled in Clojure for a work project) you will realize it is not about the language.

I am not an expert at any of the languages (and somebody payed me to produce code in at least 8 of them) but I can manage and the pay is good :)

Not saying you should be jack-of-all trades, master of none, but if you are anxious about choosing your first language, I don't think it is as big of a deal in retrospect, as it might seem to you ;)

> Nobody needs more ammunition to argue that kids these days are just faffing about.

Well, I think a lot of them are. I don't think this (just) because I'm a crabby old guy. I think this because so very many of my classmates in college 40+ years ago were just faffing about, and because college enrollment has increased out of proportion to the population. A hell of a lot of my classmates seemed to have come to the school (not a great one, not necessarily a terrible one) to work out their late adolescence in a reasonably safe environment a comfortable distance from home.

Those are certainly huge similarities, but I am wondering if a test of the veracity of that statement could be tested by how difficult a seasoned Java programmer feels to learn Lisp compared to how difficult a seasoned C++ programmer feels to learn Lisp.

I was amazed how well it worked to get off Facebook by removing the button from the phone's home screen. First few days it was weird - when between things I grabbed my phone, unlocked, moved my finger to the palace where I expected Facebook and then was confused "what was it I wanted to do? - oh nothing, damn" and after a week or two I got used to it being away and was mostly off Facebook. Now I use it only when specifically searching for information which (unfortunately) is exclusive there (for some businesses it's simpler to do a FB post than their own thing ...) and when I scroll over my feed quickly think "oh what a waste of time" and am happy for getting past my "addiction".

Won't say it works for everybody, but certainly worth to try. My life got better.

Counterpoint to the counterpoint: many people have to (stay away) even if they don't want to. For instance, in the audio world, the majority of audio hardware is still unsupported (e.g.: https://help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033607311-macOS...), daw/plugin devs also insist to hold off for now. You could argue it's a narrow niche, but there's many other similar niches whether the hardware drivers or some software still has to catch up. If any of my friends asks me whether they should upgrade, I suggest they don't, not yet (unless all you're using is safari and a chat app, in which case you probably don't care).

> our American NATO allies which seemed to prefer to refer to the Soviet Union as the “evil empire”.

It wasn't an entirely inappropriate term, given the Holodomor, the Katyn massacre, the massacre of the Cossacks, the suppression of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia, the Berlin Wall, the gulag system, the 1979 invasion of Afghanistan &c. The U.S. was imperfect too, of course, but most of the badness was non-policy like the My Lai massacre, or evil or wrong policies (e.g. segregation) which pale in comparison, and anyway whatboutism isn't really wise: one should call out misbehaviour anywhere it rears its head.

It's fair to say that even in its kinder, gentler post-Lenin and post-Stalin form the Soviet Union was a malign force in the world. 'Evil empire' was a fair shorthand.

Before I deleted Facebook (and severely cut down on my Google usage) I imported the birthday list to my own calendars (on Nextcloud). I added all the contacts in my calendar as well (on Nextcloud). This gets synced with DAVx5 when I'm home on WLAN.

Now I keep contact with these people via WhatsApp (due to network effect it has in The Netherlands) and plain old telephone/e-mail as these are included in their contact info.

Don't quit Facebook right away. First, request your data and import this. Manually backup the data I mentioned above (and consider to remove people). Gradually delete all your posts (there's an addon for it, not sure which one I used). Then make a post you're going to leave Facebook. No drama, no reason required. You're just informing people about it. And then you do it: you go through the process of removing your account, and you never log in again. Ie. remove the password from your password manager.

I've also installed containers for GAFAM, and use a myriad of browser addons to protect my privacy.
China appears to be using the Covid-19 outbreak to collect data on its citizens

(jk tho, everything is good at home and I'm #teamvirus.)
Yes, that is exactly why everyone is in lockdown, because there is enough panic and nothing more can be done. So anything that seems politically acceptable is being done. It won't be effective and is at best false sense of security.
It is about as effective as quarantining kids after mumps outbreaks, which is not much, and this thing spreads quicker.
The question is not if, but when you will be infected, and if your immune system will be able to handle it. For most, it will be a cold, for the others where it won't, unless they have their own hardware, they're screwed. As seen in Italy. Chinese were able to spin up hospitals, most everyone else does not have enough hardware.

Hospitals get overloaded with about few hundred cases, give or take.

Coronavirus tests are not effective preventative measures. (Not yet anyway.)

Good pulse oximeter costs maybe $20, an O2 tank with hardware and mask $80-100. If you cannot afford that, you're literally screwed. I bet you would pay more off a copay for a bed in the US. If that's the case, good luck.

If you cannot afford food, you're also screwed, there's no charity that will help. As a reminder, many people died from Spanish Flu due to malnutrition. And old age. This combination is also problematic for COVID-19. Strict isolation measures do not work reliably against this kind of virus. They did not work for flu nor for cold, they won't for this one. They can at best slow it down a bit and delay, which is ok if you use this time to do something meaningful - China did, others cannot.

Government could try to help with this but US is allergic to handouts. There is enough food and production capability to distribute rations if need be. I hope they're being stockpiled. Probably are not.
No, I mean if you look at 2.5" SSDs with datasheets specifying the operating voltages, they will commonly specify 5 volts.

Intel SSD 530? "5.0V SATA Supply Rail" [1]

Seagate 600 SSD? "+5V Max" [2]

Toshiba SG5? "Supply Voltage 5.0 V ±5%" [3]

Swissbit X-60? "5V± 10% (3.3 V available upon request)" [4]

Apacer SV250-25? "5.0V ±10%" [5]

So the statement that "12V is the defacto standard for powering pretty much anything these days" isn't accurate in the case of 2.5" SSDs. I acknowledge desktop computers often supply 12v to the motherboard and graphics card, of course!

(Some 2.5 inch SSDs, like the Micron 5100 Series use both 5v and 12v [6] - and I agree that M.2 is 3.3v only)
