I struggle to credit the idea that GNOME did something and that it's a standard; their whole thing ever since 3 is "innovation" (i.e. NIH).
I mostly use JavaScript (which uses `const` and `let`) and Rust (which uses `let` and `let mut`), so I've find them quite easy to tell apart just based on the syntax :)

Definitely inefficient. My 2017 leaf with a 24kWh battery can do ~120km before it starts reducing output (20% limit).
If someone doesn't make the simple effort to synthesise their thoughts in a text message short audio message, and instead of that, make a long audio message without too much content, I won't be the person who make the effort to listen to a 2-5 min. of audio.

Fortunately, most of the people I care don't do that, and that only happened to me with others. Anyway, I find this as a lack of respect to the other person for wasting their time.

I'm going to have to look into this. I've been working with Pocket Sphinx and the accuracy has been terrible (hasn't gotten a single word right).

Anyone know if this approach works OK with background noises?
I would argue that more concise syntax is actually why Scala became a niche and didn't get wider adoption and why some some examples of advanced Kotlin are really off putting. At certain point more concise syntax goes against readability.

Took me one second to type "name" in the search box. Results:

Computer Name
Network Name
Login Name and Password

This naming scheme seemed extremely shortsighted to me as it wreaks havoc on Internet text searches. It forces one to search for numerous possible references to a release: the adjective alone, the animal name alone, the release number, maybe abbreviations or nicknames of the code name, and so on.

I suppose that would be the same question as whether GitHub Copilot violates copyright in its code suggestions.
The current language team doesn’t even want to hear about properties and frankly I can understand their point. Properties while heavily used, are a misfeature.

I would rather see the ecosystem adapt records. Or once Valhalla happens, one can probably have a near zero-overhead Property<T> field for properties inside a record, properly supporting everything required by Java Beans.
The range[1] you speak of could definitely be interesting to add. There can already be quite a difference between translations on this spectrum which could help this tool pick up even more possibilities for particular meanings (particularly on the extreme end of functional/paraphrasing like The Message you mentioned or The Passion Translation). It's quite fascinating looking at a verse across this spectrum and seeing what the different translators chose to focus on or "pull out" of the underlying Greek/Hebrew.

I haven't personally read much of ESV or CSB, just curious, why the preference for those?

You could have gotten a job 10 years ago. Nobody cares about your academic knowledge past the cv check for your junior position.
To back up this argument: the redesigned settings app looks a lot like the one in Windows 10 and that one is a nightmare, specifically because it uses a phone-inspired design.

A valid complaint about the System Preferences app is that it is hesitant to introduce new top-level subdivisions (the tabs). They should roughly double the amount of tabs, and introduce new categories in order to group them together better.
You're conflating Apache Kafka, the distributed log and Kafka Streams, the streaming library built by Confluent that leverages Apache Kafka.

Don't put too much importance on these self-described "Assessment" tests. They have nothing to do with reality.

As an example, I just took the angel.co "full-stack-web" assessment, and scored 13/30 after doing it for ~10 minutes. Some answers I skipped, but most of them were "easy" to solve, but somehow I answered wrong. But since I cannot see what I got wrong, I'm not sure I trust the results at all.

But even with that, I have 10+ years experience working in software development, in roles everything from junior developer to CTO and roles in-between, at multiple companies. But tests like these don't describe reality. Reality is also not time-bound, and you can usually try different options until you find what's right.

My tip would be to start working/interning professionally as soon as possible. School nowadays doesn't represent (or ever did, I don't know) the professional sector, so the faster you get into a real company, you can gain real experience, which is what will make you actually better at your job.
I quite like monitoring dashboards and use them frequently. Mainly for examining system health and debugging operational issues.

My previous team had some business metric charts/dashboards related to system we worked on that we reviewed weekly. Most weeks review was it looks normal and was pretty fast review. Occasionally we'd see an unexpected deviation in some top level metric and that could trigger follow up work. Ideally all interesting deviations an alert would catch, but alerts are never complete.

Most of dashboards I've cared for my team/department was primary user of. I have not made dashboards much for other stakeholders.
Sure I also like to use emacs since it stood the test of the time but the point was not proprietary is better but unwillingness to support companies that sell products.

If we refuse to buy products then we end up with companies offering just services with vendor lock in. Well...we already sort of ended up in such world.
It won’t make Java into Haskell, but just as an interesting tidbit, Checker Framework can check besides null-safety, pureness as well by annotations.
>(...) despite my experience and best intentions, I was in fact making mistakes with C. Subtle leaks, use-after-free,(...) Rust made it very clear that I was not the programmer I thought I was.

This really resonated with me. I feel a lot more confident writing code in Rust than say in C or Java. However, in my opinion, it also comes with a downside: These days, whenever I use a 'more forgiving' programming language I find myself being much more paranoid of the code that I write. Even after double checking everything I still miss the memory guarantees that Rust brings, and end up spending a lot of time making sure things are behaving the way they should.
It's amazing to see people on both sides of this debate speak with such intense and unapologetic certainty. In 10 years or so one side will be found correct and say things like "I told you so, this was obvious from the beginning. People were just sheep!".
This isn't an argument. You can't point to existing production in light of existing demand and say "this is insurmountable". You might as well be crying "we can't switch to electric cars! Where would we get all the electric cars from? Did you know that the current production of electric cars won't meet the demand if everyone switches?"

The question is whether the materials are fundamentally unavailable in the accessible environment.

Cobalt is only 140,000 metric tonnes per year, compared to an estimated 7.1 million tons currently known in reserves (and is a recyclable material).[1]

China alone has 44 million tons of known neodymium. Global production was only 280,000 tons in 2021 but was an increase over 2018 which was 190,000.[2]

Copper has known global reserves of 870 million tons, with 28 million tons a year of demand [3].

Lithium is the only resource where there's potentially an issue - known reserves are about 14 million tons, and production in 2018 was 85,000 tons so we have about 165 years worth at present rates but obviously that would increase. [4]

But all these materials are recyclable - aggressively so. Once they enter the industrial chain they leave it very slowly.

But what's strangest is the context: in a world where computers were expensive, then got so cheap we have them everywhere due to production efficiencies, suddenly on this issue capitalism cannot possibly work. There will only be more expensive goods forever, competition doesn't happen, a "gold rush" to find large reserves of demanded materials could not possibly result in a production boom.

Inflation starting going up before the high energy prices started. My theory is inflation is causing high energy prices, not the other way around.
This is why a solution like using Hydrogen makes a lot more sense than using pure EVs - even if the efficiencies are lower than in battery driven vehicles.

When used in conjunction with named parameters with default values, it makes it possible to write function signatures that are significantly more readable than those written in Java, and with far less boilerplate.

I find the description of the phenomenon and its explanation incomprehensible. Can anyone explain more clearly what it means?

EDIT: here is a better explanation: https://chrisjones.id.au/MoonIllusion/

OK, the point is that when the moon and the sun appear to be the same height in the sky the sun is actually "above" the moon, because it's further away. Therefore the moon is lit from "above".
The only thing I actually had in school I still found useful (even though I only use the theory of it) was networking. All other stuff I learned in school I never or barely used.
What you actually learned in school (unknowingly) that is the most important part (something I found out later) is learning to learn. Knowing to ask the right question at the right person to the right person (or medium).
Most stuff I do in my job (and I am a senior) I still need to look up because the amount of stuff you need to work efficiently you can not all remember.. I learn every day... and you will too, and it is still fun! Even after 39 years.

Here's the thing: Finding a solution to a problem, then making it into a business that is sustainable (read: had money influx) during dire times (read: economic recession), is a very good and healthy beginning for your start-up.

Doing startups when money is sloshing around, often leads to zombie companies that are on life support.

The panic in startupland stems from the fact that most of them are cut off from said life support.
I think you're focused on the wrong half of it. The point is not to question if we know we experience a sensation we've labeled subjective experience. But rather, how do we know other things don't have it?
In all those use cases though you are anywhere but your home. So you would be using fast chargers provided in the same way gas stations are.

The situation you're describing is "I drive enough to drain my car completely, then take it home to recharge it, then immediately plan to do that again within 30 minutes of going home, and will never stop at a fast charger on that journey which can be completed within the 450km range of my battery".

It's conceivable, but so convoluted that it would never happen.

I also thought the MIDI makes this complex system very accessible. However:

> Even if there is an existing MIDI for a specific song, re-arranging it for The Floppotron is still a time consuming process. Every „instrument” in the setup have its limits and the track must fit the note range it can play. Making a track sound good on the stacks of FDDs or a scanner usually involves a lot of tweaking.

> Making one arrangement for 3.0 usually takes me 3-4 evenings, which is a little longer than for the older Floppotron 2.0.

Maybe there could be an kind of offline version that people can use to tweak their own MIDI and ultimately play it on the real machine?
Semantic search on several versions and show results for chapter and verse in my preferred version = best of both worlds.

This is awesome. Thank you for building it.
This is the reasoning behind the "const all the things" in C and similar languages, which doesn't have distinct keywords but where you can use "const" to make things immutable.

If a variable is const-declared, I react in exactly the same way and know that I don't have to look for further uses, which I find very valuable.

I even do stuff like this, which might be extreme but I find it coherent and nice:

void * allocate_and_fill(size_t size, unsigned char x)
{
void * const p = malloc(size);
if (p != NULL)
memset(p, x, size);
return p;
}

The above const-declares the local pointer p, so that it can never be intentionally clobbered inside the function, which would leak the memory. Since it's the pointer itself that is constant, not the data being pointed at, there is no problem in modifying that memory, and the return value is not const-declared in any way.

I haven't made a bunch of money. I never worked for a company earning FANG style income. Outside of America companies don't pay stupidly high salaries like silicon valley.

If ~12k in savings is close to being a millionaire then I'm rolling in it. But I guess I don't need to live a lavious life style.

I just wouldn't accept 250k at a FANG company where I'm a number and hating my job and not having any say or impact. Working for a smaller company and having a life after work with no stress is better.

Well that depends on what your application is doing. But yes, if it is a database heavy workload, then what you say applies.

What I was trying to get at was that in these cases the ruby/python/whatever parts are not actually fast, they just do much less stuff. Add that the database might be on another machine, so there's plenty of overhead as well.

Aside: You can sometimes get orders of magnitude of speed gains just by using an embedded database and a fast language on top if your workload allows it. Essentially you don't really do much to get this, just cut overhead.

Sure it does: you do not actually use a lot of electricity in your house on average. By far the biggest user after you get a Lightning would be charging the lightning.

Your home electrical connection's total capacity is already over-sized relative to your average usage.

Paul Krugman referenced this post in his recent column where he comments Musk's plan to send a million colonists to Mars

Elon Musk, Mars and the Modern Economy
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/07/opinion/musk-mars-twitter...

>What’s your reaction to that number? Does it seem absurdly high? In terms of the logistics of actually getting people to Mars, it probably is. But my original home field in economics was international trade. And if you know anything about trade, or for that matter the realities of industry, you realize that one million is actually an absurdly low number of people — far too few to support a modern economy.

and then he explains why

>... economies of scale mean that no one country can reasonably produce the full range of goods required to operate a modern, high-technology economy. International trade is essential, and more essential the smaller the economy — which is why Canada is far more dependent on imports than the United States, Belgium far more dependent than Germany, and so on

>Now, given access to world markets, even small countries can have full access to the benefits of modern technology; life in Luxembourg is pretty good. But unless we actually invent the Epstein Drive or something, the realities of transportation costs mean that Musk’s hypothetical Mars colony would have to be largely self-sufficient, cut off from the rest of the solar system economy. And it wouldn’t have enough people to pull that off with anything like a modern standard of living.

>As I said, I see Musk on Mars as a teachable moment, an unintended thought experiment that helps remind us of the positive aspects of international trade. Yes, there are downsides to globalization, especially to rapid change that can disrupt whole communities. But you really wouldn’t want to live in a world without extensive international trade. And you really, really wouldn’t want to live on another planet, cut off from the globalization we’ve created on this one.

Computer science isn't about coding or specific technologies, it's theory and math mostly.

I didn't do a CS degree at all, I have just been coding since I was young. I also learned most of what CS degrees teach over the years, as I find it all fascinating. Curiosity goes a long way.

In any case, you are young. Keep learning and figuring out what interests you, and you will be fine.
And of course, this hearsay and speculation is going to encourage panic-buying, thus becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Since this isn't my area of expertise, no, I didn't bookmark them. Just looked into it repeatedly since the beginning of our transformation to renewable and sustainable energy here, since about 2008. I thought the same regarding losses and grid, but it seems like it is so with current technology.

I live (mostly) in Germany. But as I've said, when you zoom out and look into it, considering all that goes through and into it, it seems like it.

No matter where. ISTR tidbits from documentaries, many websites specializing in analysis, even wikipedia. Especially that rail thing, only one third from power plant reaching the locomotive is normal.

I don't see why not. The whole leaving the EU thing is a reasonable cause for independence. In general I like smaller units of government too, and it's not as if they can't cooperate with the UK in areas where they agree.
