Man, it hasn’t even fucking reached 1.0 yet. The fact that the default install can target multiple architectures (including C dependencies) is nothing short of impressive.

Does GCC target any of those in its standard build? Oh. Wait. It doesn’t. It builds for only one architecture at a time and if you want anything else you’ll need to recompile the compiler.

LLVM is even intended to be optional in future, and the Zig team is well on their way to making that a reality with the work on stage2.

What backend would you suggest for embedded support?
God, LEDs must be the worst scam foisted upon us by governments. Flicker, lies about the lifespan, and now you say I must replace the entire lamp when it fails rather than just the bulb.
I think for junior developers that might be true. Does the name connect? :)
17% of native English speakers spell received as "recieved", and 23% of Americans pronounce nuclear as "nukyular" (*). Does that convince you that these are legitimate spellings and pronunciations? So a popularity contest does not convince me, but were someone to address my points above, possibly.

(*) made-up numbers, but I guess not far-off
The differences I can see are these:

With websites you can set a robot.txt file to opt out of indexing, and if they keep indexing anyway there are mechanisms to block it, both technical (i.e. ip restrictions) and legal (you can sue the indexer). The average website owners are also more technical and can understand the benefits and mechanisms, so presumably if you let your site gets indexed it's because you want to. And even so, what you want is for the search result page to drive traffic back to your site, not so that another site can be generated somewhere else and profited off by other.

With images, the artists are generally not technical and savvy enough to know how to opt out, there are currently no mechanism to opt out of indexing anyway once the image is uploaded to internet, the generated images do not increase awareness of the artist or drive traffic to their websites in any way (if they even have a website), plus the explicit goals of the resulting images are to make money for the model owner and the prompter.

It makes no sense for ICE to stop in every small town. The entire point of express service is to prioritize speed over coverage. And that entails building enough rail capacity to avoid being throttled by slower lines.
Second Zack, great funny content on practical electronics. It’s not easy to find that cross section any where.
You can always accept the risk, even if you can't mitigate or avoid it you can live with it.

Why do you assume that people who are willing to drive for 8 days with around 8 hours of sleep, supported by teams are not aware that there might be some risk involved with driving a bicycle?
Well that is certainly possible (and speaks volumes to how areas like the North of England repeatedly get the short shrift) but I think the main take-away for me is that the 10p fuel duty reduction was seen as no big deal ... but a "free public transport" policy that would move the country closer to their emissions goals and make people's lives better while reducing financial burdens would've been considered a ridiculous, impossible extravagance.

As has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the national rail networks in DE and UK is already operating at near-capacity so adding more passengers wouldn't exactly help, but making it cheaper to use local bus, tram and train networks would be brilliant.
Did you really mean only 10 external libraries? If you'd said 100 I could understand - I hit a version conflict issue in a recent project on adding what was probably package #60 or so, but solved it easily enough after a bit of googling. And we knew we were using a lot of quite old packages (including .NET 2.1 EF, because of a rare breaking change they introduced with 3.0 that we didn't have a good solution for).
It's a cliché at this point, but 4.0 (or more realistically, 4.1/4.2) would be the milestone that would result in professional adoption of Godot. 3D is still at indie-level now, and requires a lot of workarounds and hacks for some advanced stuff.
> Having to report every day during the daily stand up felt like micromanagement to me. But that's just me. Many people do like having this kind of daily routine so mileage may vary obviously.

Same here. I used to be in a team with daily stand-ups, reporting to the manager what work I did the day before, and they killed my will to work, consequently causing me to work ~3 times slower, which presumably is the opposite of the intended effect.
Sure! I currently work at a place where there are deadlines and no sprints. It works very well for me, and for the company too apparently. There are customers who expect their stuff to be shipped and the product has a month by month roadmap.

Now, over-engineering is a risk but I think I'm lazy enough to avoid it most of the time. I probably have the opposite issue sometimes.

We do get things done without running for a deadline most of the time though, so it works okay without deadlines for the some non negligible part.

We'd be dead if we didn't release. There isn't any investor's money to compensate.
> Odd to present temperature in Celsius for a US state

It's only odd if you assume that any type of data presentation is always targeted to those living in the area the data is collected for, which of course is not always true. And as others have pointed out, Celsius is in fact used in the US by scientists, physicians etc. -- just not by laymen.

Gitcoin probably would work for developers, who are highly paid already and their code have high potential of being used in profitable projects. Not so well for artists who earn a fraction of developers' salary and their arts are already being treated like commodity.
Extra pain score should be awarded for 2 character abbreviations, one character flags, mode switches, special character operators, difficult documentation, lack of error handling, missing type safety, difficulty of introspecting/debugging halfway through program, environment dependencies. Most of these weigh a lot more than just line count.
I would be against this. This would push monetization into every little and trivial thing and the net has negatively developed by that. There are some exceptions and it enabled certain content creators to really take off, but it had downsides too. Theoretically you could crawl code on github or elsewhere and develop your own AI. Monetization would put that behind a wall. Think Youtube hobby videos getting banned for music playing in the background as soon a people monetize their videos and DMCA became widely enforced.

It is too abstract a problem for most people to understand the value of data because they just look at the presumably uninteresting data they share. But you can consent to such usages of course. I don't want foundations or NGO to own the data neither, this would be exceptionally horrible. Perhaps because I have horrible foundations in mind right now, but there is a lot of bullshit in this space. Overall it would be a worse situation than the status quo. I agree that banning isn't an option too. But a mechanism to withdraw consent of your data being used for AI training seems reasonable.
Yes, but there it is so children will take responsibilities that adults wish to avoid.

The godot language server also seems really nice. You just add something like: lspconfig.gdscript.setup({}) to your init.lua (or equivalent in init.vim), then it works with the normal neovim autocomplete. More significantly, it means you can get the really great godot docs in a floaty window bubble without any context-switching.

I got sleepy just reading this. There's just so much fragmentation and frameworks and different versions of frameworks and web-servers... can't Microsoft just let the .NET be and let them do their thing? They have certainly pumped out loads of amazing software that seemed to get a knee on the guts by higher management.

> and appears to have some deeper layers beyond "haha penis so funny".

most penises drawings don't and the overwhelming majority of them is the work of a man.

BUT, that particular Japanese painting is kept at the British Museum [1] and it depict a parody of the death of Buddha...

So yeah, "ahahaha, penis (and vulva) so funny"

This is an hilarious and inventive – not to say scurrilous – parody of the sacred Buddhist subject of the Buddha's death and passing into a state of nirvana (‘nothingness’). Conventional painted versions of the subject have survived in quite large numbers in Japan, dating from the late 11th century onwards. They were displayed in temples each year for rituals held on the anniversary of the Buddha’s passing, traditionally the fifteenth day of the second month. Here the ‘Penis Buddha’, with golden skin, reclines on a dais resting his ‘head’ on one arm, the same pose taken by the Buddha Shakyamuni in conventional versions. Women with vulva faces gather round to lament, in company with paired couplings of various animals and vegetables. Two penis mourners stand in place of Buddhist guardian kings. At the back, pine trees and a river painted on a screen represent the sal trees and Badaiga River of tradition. Between the trees at the back are two esoteric deities with multiple vulva-heads and multiple arms that hold sex toys in place of their normal attributes.

There is a tradition in Japan since at least the late eighteenth century of comic parodies of the Death of the Buddha

While I agree the document would be questionable, I don't think "North Korea bad" is so much a belief as it's a fact. It doesn't get much badder than that. Probably the worst dictatorship for their people we have on this planet right now.

Having to Do the Impossible
At the start of the 2nd year (1st Aug 2021), we set a target of achieving 10x growth on the supply side of https://skilledup.life - free talent for tech startups.

In the first 12 months, we achieved our target of signing up 1,000 Volunteers with 24 hours to go. To 10x in the next 12 months, we had to continually up our game.

Now that we have reached the last week of the second year, we have a mammoth task of adding 2,000 new Volunteers to SkilledUp Life.

From where we are standing and based on our past performance, this seems like an impossible task to achieve. But we are going to give our best shot.

What we achieved this past week, which so far has been the best week, we need to achieve the same result almost every day if we are to reach this target.

To give us a chance of achieving, all our team members are being called to help.

When was the last time you chased a result like this? What tactics did you deploy? What was the result? Love to hear.

Do wish us all the best, please. Thank you.

I just googled "HDD drilling" and I have to say - if I did not know that this exists, I would not have believed that this can work. Impressive.
Not sure why you have been downvoted as I have seen a lot of that sentiment on twitter and youtube already.

I do not believe that this ironSource thing or the comments from the CEO will cause a real downfall of Unity but I do believe that VR is the area where Godot has the chance to sidestep the huge lead of Unity and shine as a real competitor.

Because the technology is still changing very rapidly and no one has too big a lead on others (especially with standalone headsets).

Godot even had support for Oculus hand tracking in late 2019 when it was not officially released for Unity and Unreal.

At the moment everyone manufacturer is building for Unity first and everything else second (if at all), but when OpenXR finally has established itself that will be a lot less of a factor
How is this practically useful anyway? How is this better than Roam?
Which you can do, by adding a post build step.
But are we hitting that power density ceiling yet? It doesn't seem so, we're not even in the "big enough to have ignited" range, only scraping at the door of "big enough for scientific break-even", but have already blown any reasonable chance for such designs to be cost effective even if they were to be mass produced.

Massive superconducting magnets generating megatons of force, building-sized vacuum chambers that are almost guaranteed to leak some amount tritium, which only adds to the unavoidable regulatory burden imposed by the fast neutron environment, activated structure and every day production of weapon-grade material etc. etc., even if the current technology magically works tomorrow, it's still an economic dead-end.

The present fusion crop is megascience at its worst, draining public funds for something that can't possibly ever work and producing very little substantial science in the way. We need to take a step back and reassess. At least Helion is trying a new path, even if they are likely to end up in a similar dead-end.
> I get where you're coming from

It's ok, but obviously not. I was merely correcting your mistake, perhaps pedantically, and really that's all. I was not, in fact, giving you license to build a straw man factory.
At least in Germany, lignite plants are operating on locally mined lignite, which means there is a big open-pit mine directly next to the plant.

This means that the water table needs to be drained to keep the mine dry. The pumps in many cases directly feed the excess water into the power plant.

An example is the plant Neurath, which is the second biggest coal power plant in Europe, delivering 4 gigawatts of power without use of surface water.
> The git-by-email setup is more inconvenient.

Due to the distributed nature of git, that's not actually required. Any sourcehut project can merge branches that exist in different places on the Internet.

The feedback and reviewing process might be more cumbersome, but accepting code contributions is not impeded in any way.
You don't have to use Nuget.org, it's just the public community version of a Nuget package repo.

You can use your own private repos like MyGet[1] or Github Packages [2].

Finland uses 5 ft gauge, Estonia a mix of 5 ft / 1520 mm, and Latvia and Lithuania 1520 mm. (And then Rail Baltica will add standard gauge to the mix in the baltics).
Who knows if anything is finished anyway? So long as you live you can continue and the definitions are always in flux / personal.

I believe the one who feels the strongest pull should work on manifesting a vision, not the one who had the idea; i.e. if someone says "it'd be nice to have cake" and another goes "omfg yes that would be the best" then who should make it? They could do it together but if the first person shops for ingredients and then decides they'd rather go to hawaii for a bit then the second person can still make the cake and eat it without the world burning down.

This can't be overstated. Visual Studio Code seems to be making moves in this direction at least, but then again it's GitHub specific I believe?
The real question here: would they have been able to build the successful business they did without no code?

I'd argue possibly not. Nocode served its purpose here.

It makes we wonder if something like the Australia-Asia power link would make sense. 2.2GW would be enough to cover current Gas, Coal and Diesel generation for NZ. With sufficient storage (Batteries, Pumped Hydro), you could recharge in the day, carry load into the evening peak, before switching to stored power.

Initial cost would be higher, but long term cost of Solar is ridiculously cheap.
Because even microsoft doesn't call it C♯, they call it C#.

I do like email-based development. And I pay for Sourcehut. But I also understand why others don't like email-based interfaces. And I too sometimes get annoyed by Debian's BTS taking minutes to act on (email-based) changes to bug reports. Minutes where I'm just idly sitting around waiting so as not to have to context switch. I abhor GH and friends, but oh man sometimes an instantaneous interface is important.
"Time theft"?! Oof I sincerely hope he got that the right way around rather than predictably inverting it.
Interesting! Have the sale alerts ever netted you something of interest? I imagine one could have a decent side business flipping goods.
What do you actually mean by "non-existent"? The asp.net framework includes more functionality by default with its standard libraries than just about anything else.
Is rhetoric like "an ocean of contributors whose identities and motivation are often obscure, making it hard to hold them accountable.", "Experts are worried that blind spots about the people who run open-source software make the whole edifice ripe for potential manipulation and attacks.", and "The government is only just realizing that our critical infrastructure is running code that could be literally being written by sanctioned entities. Right now.” not honest enough from a group with military funding?
> They've got egress cooling water limits of 26-30C (78-86). It's an entirely manufactured problem.

There is nothing "manufactured" about not wanting to cook natural water bodies and the flora and fauna that live in said water.

Even very minor changes can have massive effects for everything living in, and around, such waters, as they are part of a bigger ecosystem these changes will also end up affecting wildlife outside of those waters.

> They could easily solve this just by offering giant 38-40C (100-104F) pools open to the public near their plants.

Did you do the math how big they would need to make these giant pools to effectively dissipate the heat? Where is the water for those giant pools supposed to come from?

> Or, just have a parking lot sized winding halfpipe before draining into the river, or otherwise easily make up for the missing cooling tower capacity.

From what material will that winding halfpipe be made, to have good thermal conductivity, while still having the stability to support such a massive structure and the pressurized water going trough it?

> In Iceland thermal plants will release boiling temperature water into rivers that didn't have it before, nobody thinks twice about it, as people are used to the natural equivalent.

Iceland is also not exactly known for its summer heatwaves, even without those I'm pretty sure they still monitor the temperature of those rivers to make sure it doesn't pass certain thresholds.

> You'll want to make sure to give the fish a way out, but otherwise the only notable side effects are some algea buildup.

Algea that will deprive the water of oxygen, thus killing a lot of other flora and fauna if they build up too much.
I wonder why people believe them now, to be honest.
That‘s the idea of the „ICE Sprinter“, but I imagine it’s even more difficult to integrate into the timetable because of the shared tracks.
I'm using Obsidian personally. It's perfect for this use-case imo.
I am not sure free public transport will make such a big difference. It would probably make some people commute by train instead of driving where that's possible because of cost. On the other hand there is also a push to switch to EV cars nationally so what would impact emissions the most is not clear to me.

This not just the North by the way. Most of the country drives with the only public transport being very impractical buses. Really this is the same in many European countries as well.
