Some sources of post ideas for my personal tech blog:

- hobby projects I work on (e.g. programming)
- experience with my gadgets (e.g. smartphone, tablet, desktop systems)

- my personal workflows and processes
- pet peeves
All the more reason to listen to GP. Your partner should be someone to lean on, not blame. They likely don’t see them in the right light.
In java i miss property literals, without them you can't have linq to sql easily.

Does kotlin have them?
Bit of an odd use of an anonymous function IMO. Normally I'd write that as:

foo := "that"
if bar {
foo = "that"
}

Unless the assignment of "foo" is expensive, then you'd assign it in an else.

If you really want to, you can do it in a single line too:

foo := map[bool]string{true: "this", false: "that"}[bar]

I'm wondering why you'd like to know. If it is just for your curiosity, that's very good. If you want to participate in the compiler development effort, hat tip!

But if you are thinking about tuning your code to such an internal detail, please don't! Coding to an implementation, rather than an interface, is never a good idea.
A company can go out of business and cease to function. What would cause the Bitcoin network to cease to function? There will always be a market price and it will fluctuate. But the end of Bitcoin? Would be like the end of BitTorrent, not gonna happen.

or apache airflow. I think they are just workflow schedulers with out-of-the-box plugins for data engineering.
Yes it is. It's a method of achieving something or carrying something out. But not only it doesn't matter, I don't think anyone else is interested in a stupid semantics discussion.
Hmm, kind of sounds like the battery replacing solution but instead of physically replacing the batteries, you simply move the energy from the buffer batteries to the consumer batteries.

You can build battery towers or underground battery storages depending on the physical constraints maybe? If its feasible, it can also be beneficial from renewable energy standpoint as they also need the storage.
So very cool !

(Pardon my immature gushing, but it really is very, very cool !)
> But essentially I think the scrolling left and right panes are not a bad idea.

Until touch/mouse inputs have a widespread support for horizontal scrolling by default, like they do for vertical scrolling (scroll wheels or two-finger drags), I think they are going to remain a bad idea: you have to move your pointer from the thing you are looking at to the scrollbar and then back.

One could say it's a chicken and an egg problem, but displays are already much wider than they are taller, and if you do need them even wider, you are failing miserably IMO.
They do ruin your eyesight. There is an experiment you can do: if you watch your screen without glasses for an hour (make sure you do not watch it from up too close, the further away you are the better, let it be a bit blurry but still readable), a weaker pair of glasses will work, too.
Lead doesn't taste bad, though. They say it tastes sweet, and I'm sadly old enough to remember the smell of leaded gasoline.
To the day I cannot get used to the icon of it. Is it 10 years old? Or more? Somehow this busy gear over gear design is just not characteristic enough, easy to overlook in a busy set of icons. Old one was much better in this regard, it was standing out of the crowd more, not blending in. But they needed some 'fresh look', or 'consistent look', just for the heck of it without functional consideration, argh. They should go paint something or what not, if they are that bored...

It's particularly unnecessary when you can easily get 30px of useable height back just by using widgets of sane sizes. Like, computers have trackpads and mice, no need to make everything bulky fingers-friendly.
Oh absolutely, if someone perfers emacs or vim, VS, VSCode, some JetBrains IDE. Punch cards.

Whatever makes them happy and productive, that's great. I've seen people use Vim and its crazy how productive some people are with it.

My point is complaining about the price of some software like it's blocking them from doing anything. They spend all this money on all this hardware and software, but when it comes to development, oh it costs too much I don't want to pay $90 for something to earn money...
I used to work for Reykjavik Energy as a junior analyst about 12 years ago. One of my tasks was using their geo database to pull out cable and transformer data for every neighbourhood and use it to generate load models (using Siemens PSS mostly).

We knew the high voltage system (100kv+) was fine as there are quite a few big power hungry users on the network. We focused our research on the "neighbourhood transformers" - These are the transformers that take you from 11kv to 400v (3 phase, of which one leg is connected to a consumer fuseboard). They're generally sized so that each transformer can service a small neighborhood, but power can be routed through less efficient ways in case they break. We combined all the electrical data with traffic data to estimate when people finish work and would likely be plugging their cars in at home.

The conclusion we came to was that if only 15 percent of homes wanted fast charge ability (which at the time was a lot less than what testa offers today) the majority of the city's transformers would be over their current limit.

Iceland has a pretty decent and modern power infrastructure so this was a bit of a shock to everyone. I think my research was even presented to parliament :)

In the absence of an IDE to manage include guards, they are pointless busywork that make refactoring harder. The future solution would be C++ modules, but in absence of that pragma once is a lifesaver.
Thanks! Great to hear this and I completely resonate with your experience. Really appreciate it, we will reach out.
Emm. No we don't. We only have a single phase supply to the home. At least traditionally, new homes may be built to different standards.

Ours comes into the house via a very scary looking lead sheathed TN-S cable.
You have misunderstood what was written: 'sensation' cannot be pluralized as the term expressing «the "sensation" of the common use of "sensational"». In what I have written, there are readable facts and cases of individuals subject to sensation that become passive to it, and lose the facts.

Your «subjective feelings» are not a "good savage": they have their development, and they are integrated part of the whole inner system, in-development, in-refinement. And in fact, I was promoting education, which develops and refines you.
Latest Coffeezilla video's about it recaps it very nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5ll3ByaoHE
The power doesn’t change, but you get 12 systems that each need to dissipate 600Wh instead of a single system that needs to dissipate 7200Wh. You can for example partially buffer the heat if you know that you only need to handle that load for a few minutes. It’s much harder to sustain the same energy dissipation for an hour.
The issue isn't so much whether it is null, but whether it can be null. Because if it can be null, you have to check whether it is null before you can actually do anything with it. That adds a lot of null-checking boilerplate to your code.

If instead the compiler can guarantee that a value will never be null, then you don't have to check, leading to cleaner code. Scala does this with the Option type, Typescript by forcing you to declare a type as `string|null` if it can be null. These sort of things make your code safer and cleaner.
If you are myopic, you are not supposed to wear glasses for reading, but most people I know do this, which just worsens it. You are supposed to be without them for as long as you can.

No joke. I have very good eyesight and bought a 4K 32" display to run at @1x. When I started using the display, I had no issue with the pixel pitch, but the extra cognitive load of being able to see so much at once was such a downside that I've went back to my 27" 1440p display and I'm much happier.
Amazing! Every chat app needs this.
I use WhatsApp daily and this is in dire need.
I like Francis Spufford's comment: Stalin was a gangster who thought he was a social scientist. Krushchev was a gangster who hoped he was a social scientist. Brezhnev and those who came after him were gangsters who only pretended to be social scientists.

We can add to that, after the failed hardliner coup, the country was run by gangsters who didn't even care to pretend they were anything else.
> That's like asking why there is a car doing 60mph on the highway when everyone else is doing 75mph.

thankfully in my country being too slow on the highway (lower limit being 80 km/h apparently) will net you a fine. It's people's right to drive whatever van they fancy... as long as this does not have any too much negative influence on society.
That's amazing!!!

There are some which are exceptional.

One in Tombstone, AZ (probably the only place people read these) says "We killed him by mistake. Too bad."

There may really be a grave with the poem: "Here lies the body of Richard Weigh, who died defending his right of way. He was right, dead right, as he sped along. And he's just as dead as if he was wrong"
Faster response to user actions, smaller payload, not reloading the whole page, keeping scrolling position, keeping focus and keyboard cursor position when possible, allowing transitions and animations, no need to change browser history unless necessary, very minimal javascript necessary, allowing user to disable javascript in some cases.

Just because this is a counterexample to something that you deem good, it doesn't mean it has to be absolute shit. The world is not black and white. I would suggest at least doing some research about how things work before criticising them. They might surprise you.
True for complex systems, but West Roman empire didn't "collapse" instantaneously, nor within a year/decade.

If I remember correctly what I read on it, the actual date is arbitrarily taken for didactic clarity, and it's the date the capital moved to another city. But the kingdom still called itself Roman, so contemporaries didn't quite notice the difference. BTW, this is how modern Romania got its name -- smaller kingdoms in the former empire called themselves the glorious Rome.

The curious detail is that Barbarian leaders actually wanted to become king of Rome and to be acknowledged as equally civilized, rather than merely sack and loot it. Some of them were actually legioneers, if I remember it correctly. So it's not clear if a legioneer sacked Rome and set himself as king, was the new state still Roman or already not.
From what I've seen, there's not much to re-learn. Everything is in the same place as it was before, it's just that the layout is clunky and does not look that good.
As I said in another comment, I don't absolutely need 22kW now. But I am at the limit of the capacity of my current line, so in all scenarios, I would need to invest quite a bit.

It means that you had not yet understood the principle behind free software. I'm not defending Stallman's choice, but it is coherent with the philosophy that gave us FSF and GNU.
>It is opposed to a mutually beneficial relationship, where both parties profit approximately the same.

That's not what a mutually beneficial relationship is.

>Some people also consider most employment contracts as exploitative (wage slavery), as the owners of a company extract more money than the workers get in compensation (profit is essentially exactly the difference between what the workers and capital owners were payed and what the vue of their work was - and it is entirely the property of the owners, not the workers). Whether you believe the difference between the value you bring to the company and the wages you are paid is large or small will more or less determine whether you think the company is exploiting you or you are in a mutually beneficial relationship with it - and neither option is objectively right or wrong.

And now I see that you're simply spewing socialist ideology with no grounding in reality.
”System Preferences” is an iconic, multilayered name. I would dislike seeing it replaced by the blasé ”Settings”.
> Spend a few hours on twitter and you will think America is a 21st century Weimar Republic. But spend time talking with neighbors and friends in the flesh and you find that this feeling ebbs away. The economy is doing well. People are getting paid bounding sums. Nothing seems so fraught as the online hordes would have you fear.

I don't really recognize either side of this dichotomy?

Twitter is full of people being funny, kind, weird, fascinating as well as angry trolls, of the profesionall and amatuer kind.

Real life has illness, death, war, pollution and assholes as well as art, music, love, weddings, births, friendships etc.

I'm generally optimistic that things are getting better, on average, for the human race but don't see how pretending horrors as well as small unnecessary hardships aren't happening every day helps that progress.
Shiga: Finding creative solutions to plant predicament
I don't know. To me it feels like Java is a bit of a patchwork, with too many features added on top of it that weren't accounted for in the original design of Java. Generics are probably the oldest example, but there are plenty of others.
What is he misguided about, and what is the complexity he is simplifying. I ask out of genuine intrigue. Reading the post it comes across as someone who appeared to need to make a change in his life, unsure of what to change. He took a chance on a new role and has found himself happier for it.

Is this a JetBrains commercial account ? Am I at fault for not liking their product that much, and thus not paying them their apparently deserved yearly subscription ?

This feels pretty weird to be faulted for using other companies' products. And no, switching to Jetbrains' doesn't make me more money. Could be the reverse from my past trials.
These are rather nasty workarounds, to be honest. Instantiating a map out of the blue is clever, but not very readable (not to mention potential performance concerns eg. if it's code executing in a large loop), and something I'd definitely call out in code review. Note that computing "this" and "that" could by itself be costly, and one of these values is guaranteeed to get discarded.
My 2014 MacBook is no longer getting major updates. Apple is still popping up ads for the latest MacOS, even though I can’t install it. I considered buying a new Mac with Apple silicon but the last three MacOS releases have been enormous regressions. At this point a Framework seems to make a lot more sense.

I hated everything about the UX on Big Sur and they seem to have doubled down on their poor decisions. This news destroys the final bit of hope I had that they’d correct the MacOS path the way they did with MacBook hardware.
I think his point was more along the lines of "While you are at an elite school you should socialize and build your social network. That social network will become your starting professional network after school. Less opportunity for socialization will reduce the potential size of this network."

Seems reasonable to me.
Because of the things you said: the amount of control American universities have over students.

That car is probably very inefficient as it's not very aerodynamic. If you need that van, you probably need the 75kWh version.

If you don't have many kids, you should probably look at cars that are only electric and designed for it: Tesla, Polestar, VW ID.3/4, Skoda Enyaq, Volva XC40 Recharge, ... You'll get better regenerative break which means that you'll recharge your battery when going downhill and better efficiency.

Without any changes to your home, you can charge your car at 3.6kW and there might be public chargers at 11kW around where you live and shop. I've spent a few weeks with a Tesla Model 3 SR+ (50kW battery) in the mountains of the Val d'Anniviers (Valais) where I couldn't charge at the chalet and I didn't have any issue to drive around and find chargers.
I read an article a while ago that suggested people in cities had a worst eye sights than people on the country because of the buildings and not proper distance your eye could adapt and train itself. I guess it makes sense considering there are more and more skyscrapper in Asia.

But if you actually look at the thing, it does not actually seem like an out-and-out scam, a 5.7GHz VLIW design is not even remotely in the realm of the impossible.

there's a world of difference between offering someone some money to be a WiFi hotspot and going vegan. one asks them to do some menial labour for money, the other merely asks them to stop paying for abuse and torture of animals they do. there's nothing exploitative in asking one to not throw out their gay son or to not torture animals for self-titillation.

I think it isn't a good UX to have to scroll through a list on the sidebar to find the main preference category you're looking for. Having all the preferences categories visible at once on the main screen is a better UX.
If the ECB buys the debt (it has an infinite supply of money after all), what is the problem? That should keep interest rates on sovereign debt down. Inflation right now is systemic, mainly the result of oil price surges - I'd argue that its OK, we want high oil prices because we want disincentives on activities that produce more CO2 and incentives for efficiency - hell, hike the price now. Of course the downside could be social, and that falls on governments to mitigate, which is why I argue strongly that they continue to heavily deficit spend and they get the support of the ECB to do so.
The floor is belief in usability for transfers, for speculation, for avoiding local inflation, etc. You don't need real-world-value for that.
I've found in general over the years, it's pretty difficult to find what you're looking for in System Preferences. Anytime I go to look for "Security and Privacy", it takes me a good few seconds. The icon isn't exactly recognizable. Maybe something as simple as alphabetizing the categories would help. I feel like this has gotten worse over the years but I can't say how.

So the only hangover from bad parties is that the party ends?

The biggest, baddest parties will always draw the popular crowd, and the same DJs will know better when to quietly slip out the back door with bags full.

How does a well-regulated party compete against that without calling for more regulation?

Not only does that not follow from the part you’ve quoted, it wouldn’t follow if you’d quoted the entire paper.
I don't think it can "happen" to someone and not the person next to them, i.e. I don't think each individual observer sees it differently. I have seen what the article calls a harverst moon a few times. Every time everyone I asked from the same city has also seen it. I've seen it on the news, captured by photo and video cameras, so I'm pretty confident it's as optical as using lenses to zoom into things.
This is the worst of all of the solutions in my experience. For example, say you have a "card" or a "dropdown" component, now you need to maintain two implementations of it, one for the django templates and another for the React parts. Then when you load a page it will start blank or with small blanks or spinners all around while the components are initialised. Code splitting becomes really complicated as it will have to be mostly done manually, or just loading everything on every page. Then if you need translations, you'll need two systems, the Django one and the one for your "SPA" parts. Some parts of your app will need a backend API, some others will post to controllers... then suddenly due to changing requirements something that was a Django template now needs to be a bit more reactive, so... you rewrite the entire thing in React? or you sprinkle some react here and keep some templating there?... it quickly becomes a mess.

I'd say either stay on the templating world, and use something like Unpoly/HTMX/Hotwire/Livewire, etc.... or go "full frontend framework" with Next.js, Inertia.js. Both options are great in my opinion. The middle ground is very muddy. I've been there.
Well if you know the world only from the words of Jack knowledge will be limited, right? And if you fed it back to Jack to have it tell you again the same in a different way, than you have a loopy closed system with definite risks of non enhancement.
