To clarify what I was trying to argue for, if one is using the .net async Task system only for the purpose to help the thread pool (always immediately awaiting an async method) then the responsibility should bear more on the .net framework, instead of spilling async/await Task<> into code bases. I don't know what a solution looks like, but maybe just threads are too expensive in .net

I have come to conclusion that there are different types of people who work with code. There are writers. They can not stop writing. If something tries to stop them they move on and keep writing. Most of the code around is written by very small amount of people.

Personally I came to terms with myself for not having to do that. Some companies who rush things to market do not understand it but it is okay with me.

Looking back at years and shipped projects I do not trust such metaphors as in the article.

I prefer other pov. Where I grew up one songwriter and performer coined it (sorry at incorrect translation) "[they] write as they breathe. It is a natural order of things". So if I do not like working with someone's code I have to move on.
Remove Taiwan flag – Taiwan is not a country
Yep, they forced the mis-characterization to be able to cite Douglas Adams in the title and make it clickbait.

Besides, the episode/anecdote in itself is not particularly fun and - at the most - the telephone technician could have been accused of being a bit overzealous, but long before that "Walt" did actually mis-wire the telephone system (which seemingly was not even their exclusive property, but common with the building one).
This reminds me of a very cynical old quip about the difference between patriarchy and feminism:

Patriarchy is a brutal social hierarchy that occasionally talks about being "for men"...but is really for the 1% at the top. And especially for the .01% at the very top. Revolution is possible in patriarchy, because the brutal hierarchy is imposed from above.

Feminism is a brutal social hierarchy that occasionally talks about being "for women"...but is really for the 1% at the top. And especially for the .01% at the very top. Revolution is impossible in feminism, because the brutal hierarchy is imposed from below.
> being on the cloud so I can control the string lights connected to them from bed

> You'd think there'd be a standard by now.

I don’t understand, isn’t there a standard? All my smart stuff is on ZigBee, I can control everything locally (app via LAN to the machine running the automation, machine via Zigbee to switches and sensors) and I don’t need any cloud functionality at all. If the power goes out, everything reconnects in two minutes.
> Do you have examples of UI layouts you feel QML solves intuitively that flexbox can't solve intuitively?

I think your example on the flexbox use for two pane view illustrates that well. Although I have no experience of using it I get that the gist of it is the same of a RowLayout. It’s a good abstraction for listing many items of the same kind which need to respond dynamically with the change of window dimensions. But when I really need to place two panes 10px appart or put elements on top of it in the bottome left corner, bottom right corner and align margins of the content within the pane anchoring elements manually is so much easier. I remember when I started to learn QML my first instinct was to find where can I make a table and align elements within it where instead I just needed to use anchors.

The beauty of QML is that I can treat RowLayout and Row as elements written in QML itself. If I recall accurately it is possible to loop through child elements and assign properties to them such as anchors with respect to sibiling elements. The abstraction thus is more fundamental.

> Svelte and other modern UI frameworks prefer composition over inheritance

Inheritance is the right abstraction for the UI elements. For instance I don’t need to predict all properties in advance for my custom bottom implemntion when used in the code. Assuming that all of them are available is quite powerful and allows to experiment in place. This work exceptionally well in QML but not in OOP languages in general. Nevertheless, can you come up with `footguns of inheritance` to which QML is susceptible to?

> Svelte uses file based components as well. Each file is its own module in TypeScript/JavaScript.

This sounds interesting. I will give it a try on someday when I will need to make an UI in HTML.
Carbon steel is similar to cast iron in that it gets "seasoned" over time, but is much lighter (and heats up more quickly and evenly).
What’s also funny is that between "Internet" and "social media", there’s a huge layer called "World Wide Web".

That layer (which is now often confused with Internet itself) is an European invention. (A Brit and a Belgian, sitting in an office on the border between France and Switzerland, could not be more european than that).

The point is not to be pro-european, just to say that if you list inventions and remove the components not invented in the US, you will end with a list of inventions from the US.
It sounds like you cannot convince them based on merit, because they simply do not understand you and the language you speak.

Threads was never as big as Twitter. They're literally days old (15 days). I'm not sure why it's expected to match or outmatch Twitter in anything currently.
What's wrong with using UUIDs for things that are commonly used every nanosecond? It's still improbable to get 2 UUIDs for identifier for the same "thing" in the system, even if you generate billions of them per second. It's a pretty good way to get non-colliding IDs without a central registry. That's the main feature.

I've never seen duplicated UUID generated, and if that's the issue, you may think about using cryptographic randomness source to generate it.

UUID v7 has millisecond precision + 72 bits of randomness, which is _a lot_.

Also, central registry for IDs seems like a great way to shoot yourself in a foot, in case it's down, your network is down, you're on cellular connection, on a plane...

pretty much this - generics have (rare) implications to the reflection (but it's unsupported as well) but overall they are replaced with the nearest class/interface when compiled.

OTOH lack of string interning is super strange [it's trivial to implement], and w/o it JVM is not a thing. String being equal by reference is important, and part of JLS.

Land usage is not a problem at all, if you do the arithmetic. That you bring this up tells me you're parroting anti-renewable talking points in bad faith rather than presenting reasoned objections.

As for base load, we can estimate the cost of covering for intermittency of renewables to produce synthetic baseload. It ends up cheaper than nuclear. A key part of this in some locations (such as Europe) is to use hydrogen in addition to batteries for storage.

> Plus, we haven’t put as nearly as much time last 30 years coming up with better nuclear devices as we did in renewables.

We've spent much longer than 30 years trying with nuclear. The first nuclear power plant on the grid was in the 1950s. Huge investment was made in civilian nuclear back in the day. If less is being invested now it's because nuclear has demonstrated it's unattractive, not because we didn't give it more than enough chances.

The "oh poor nuclear is just misunderstood" argument is common nuke bro defensive thinking. No, nuclear's problem is $$$. The people with money are negative on nuclear because they see scammers trying to sell them crap all the time (in nuclear's case, via grossly lowballed cost projections), and they've learned to say no.
"take the misguided ramblings of a junior-sold-as-senior at face value, not knowing the difference"

Based on my experiences, I'm throughly convinced that most of the time the consultants will tell management what they want to hear. If management doesn't like the answer then they go to someone else. How likely it is that they will accept an unwanted opinion from a consultant is solely based on prestige.

Where "fancy" is relative. There was a time when Java 8 streams were fancy for many devs, today it's the default way to manipulate collections.

The official ChatGPT app has had voice-recognition for a while now. Still not closing the obvious loop with text-to-speech, but probably they have bigger fish to fry.

Cycle counting is one thing, but it gets tricky when you have frequency scaling in play. Another problem that even without freq scaling, cpu clocks are not designed to be super accurate/exact, and the true frequency might vary significantly even if the nominal freq is fixed
"at least several weeks" is technically correct but I think a bit of an understatement. A sector takes about 3-4 weeks to warm up and 4-5 weeks to cool down. Then it needs to undergo powering tests and probably some "training" quenches.

Since the winter shutdown is scheduled for end of October (thanks to the energy crisis), there's a good chance we are finished with proton collisions for the year. If the leak can get fixed and the sector cooled down by mid/late September, we might have time for the heavy ion run. Last year's ion run was cancelled due to shortening the year, so 2 years in a row would not be great.
It goes back a lot further than that. “One man who did it all himself” is at least as old as Hercules, Atlas, Noah, etc.

> Simple, Hetzner mainly operates on Germany, the people are mostly Germans, and they automate the stuff to a point a small team could manage it well even if not remotely, so they have less cost on human resources.

I feel like there might be more to it, especially considering the situation with electricity prices in some places in EU recently.

I used (and still use) a Lithuanian platform called Time4VPS which was cheaper than Hetzner previously, yet had to increase their prices somewhat for that reason. Now only some of their plans are competitive with Hetzner, while Hetzner also provides some managed services as well.

Hetzner docs also went into some of the details regarding the pricing: https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/general/pricing/hetzner-prici...

And yet, I can't help but to wonder why they don't give in to the desire to maximize profit margins, like happened to say Scaleway (good platform, but as expensive as DigitalOcean).

Open source hardware design only makes for a part of a commercial product and does not cover manufacturing, supply chain, quality of components, warranty, customer support etc. etc. for which it's important to distinguish who is the actual entity responsible for that product.

The handicapping was very ineffective. AlphaStar had 250-300+ APM and it was basically 100% effective APM. Pros have 300-400+ APM, but their effective APM is much lower due to spam patterns and checking production among other things.

Almost everyone in the community seemed to agree AlphaStar was very unfair. Things like a 3 way surround and performing blink micro on individual Stalkers on opposite sides of the screen are completely inhuman.

This is also what made the Dota 2 bots feel somewhat disappointing. Of course perfect mechanical skill beats humans. Watching the SF mid 1v1 matches illustrated this very clearly to me. The AI chipped the player down with perfect AAs, then finished them off with perfect distance razes.

The bots weren't 100% mechanical skill, but it was a large enough proportion that it was uninteresting.
