Well the point is that ä is one character, not two. It shouldn't be "a with two dots on it", it should be ä. It's its own letter with its own key on Swedish keyboards. MacOS apparently normalizes it to be two characters, and then somewhere in the publishing chain it gets mangled and end up as a¨. I have no doubt that it looked ok on the author's Mac.

It's been a while since I last saw it, but it wasn't because of the font since it was published on a Swedish newspaper's website and other texts worked fine.
Then I guess use context parameters internally (so you can only break your own code) and expose the API without that context.

Or maybe even allow the client to use contexts or not. Like pick your own level of abstraction.
Are you sure? Uplevel enables various metaprogramming techniques with far less weird magic than C++ requires!
A lot of the industrial power use was built on the back of cheap natural gas from Russia - that got cut off after the Ukraine war.
If it's actually standard compliant any library written in a RxRS-compliant Scheme dialect would be available. The FFI seems reasonably sane as well. They list a lot of libraries in the reference but some are lacking documentation.

At a glance it seems you could do a lot in systems and network programming, but if you want to produce a lot of PDF/A or run a cryptocoin business maybe use something else?
I personally agree that it is great that Rust as a language is able to function in an embedded environment. Someone needs to grasp that nettle. I started by writing "concede" in my first sentence there but it's not a concession. It's great, I celebrate it, and Rust is a fairly good choice for at least programmers working in that space. (Whether it's good for electrical engineers is another question, but that's a debate for another day.)

However, the entire Rust library ecosystem shouldn't bend itself around what is ultimately still a niche use case. Embedded uses are still a small fraction of Rust programs and that is unlikely to change anytime soon. I am confident the vast bulk of Rust programs and programmers, even including some people vigorously defending async/await, would find they are actually happier and more productive with threads, and that they would be completely incapable of finding any real, perceptible performance difference. Such exceptions as there may be, which I not only "don't deny" exist but insist exist, are welcome to pay the price of async/await and I celebrate that they have that choice.

But as it stands now, async/await may be the biggest current premature optimization in common use. Though "I am writing a web site that will experience upwards of several dozen hits per minute, should I use the web framework that benches at 1,000,000 reqs/sec or 2,000,000 reqs/sec?" is stiff competition.
I’m not sure I’d look for someone talented. I’d look for someone who’s done it before.

Early stage software development is tricky, but not unique.

I think someone who’s done the role before would be more valuable than someone smart.

They are also easier to find and screen.
This was my immediate thought upon seeing the title! I used to love the library telnet server, which worked for searching, placing a hold, renewing, and even inter-library loans. There was also rudimentary full-text search of engineering journals. Today, it's a 'modern' website with tons of whitespace, non-customizable fonts, and links out to events and what not. Simplicity is such a wonderful feature and yet it's somehow completely orthogonal to modern engineering.

Just curious: what are the downsides of poetry installed with pipx? The article mentions having to install poetry in another venv, but that's hardly an issue with pipx (you just add an 'x' after 'pip'), and installing pipx is as straight-forward as it can be.
You should also define what you want. For someone to be a good fit, smart (for whatever that means) is not enough.
A cathedral is the official seat of the local the bishop and the Sagrada Familia isn't one.

A basilica on the other hand is an honorific title granted to some churches by the pope for historical/religious reasons.

An interesting note: Saint Peter in Rome, the most famous church in the christian world is not a cathedral itself as it is not where the pope has its seat, that's actually another basilica in Rome, Saint John Lateran, which makes it the most important church in the catholic hierarchy with the title of "Omnium Urbis et Orbis Ecclesiarum Mater et Caput", or "Mother and leader of all the churches in the world".
It depends on how the search is implemented exactly and what the context is, but assuming I've searched for "cono", I would expect results that directly match "cono" to come first, then results that also match "coño".

Similarly to how I'd expect to still get reasonable results if I type "beleive" instead of "believe".

That said, this is obviously pretty context-dependent, in some settings it will make more sense to do an exact-match search, in which case you'd want to differentiate n and ñ (while still handling different possible unicode variants of ñ if those exist).
I'm not convinced that the US approach with heavy protectionism is a good idea in the specific case of solar panels. It's a pretty standardized product and if another country is willing to subsidize the European consumer with cheap panels - where's the harm? It's not an incredibly sophisticated product like chips manufacturing - where if we suddenly needed to manufacture entirely on our own we would be completely unable to for more than a decade. As some of the interviewed people in the article allude: We're probably better off investing the money saved on those solar panels into other parts of the economy.
I'm hoping for more like a dynosaur tail.
What causal connection do you have in mind?
Primary energy consumption isn't a good indicator for this, as it also includes lost energy.
If you replace a 50% efficiency coal power plant with wind or solar you'd reduce the primary energy by half but could still get the same amount of used electricity.
I should most definitely hope so considering construction started in 1882.
Offer market pay. "Smart" people are smart enough to know their value, and unless you're looking for a cofounder you need to pay properly.

If that's met, just do some advertising - I've found LinkedIn is useless, indeed.com gave better candidates, I'd try other "real" job sites like that.

Depending on your needs, consider part time as well which may be more attractive to some people.

One thing I did that worked was call my former university professors, they may know good fresh grades, postdocs etc.

Ferrit beads also work quite well.
All the Starlink launches make SpaceX the only company in the world that has a massive amount of spare launch capacity on a moment's notice.
When a customer needs their payload to launch ASAP to start generating revenue in orbit, instead of sitting on Earth waiting for years for an available launcher, SpaceX are the only option. Payload integration would still take weeks to months, but it would be much faster than any competitor.
Take, for example, OneWeb, who have been forced to seek another option after launching from Russia become impossible in 2022. They had to go to SpaceX, their formal competitor. Same for the EU space missions after their recent launcher troubles. Same for Amazon's Kuiper satellites, who bought every possible bit for spare launch capacity from every Western company for years to come, and yet ultimately had to turn to SpaceX, because no one else could offer the launch cadence they needed for their constellation deployment schedule.
> You'll typically have an idea of whether or not a function performs IO from the start.

I think GP's point is: why does that matter? Much writing on Async/Await roughly correlates IO with "slow". GP rightly points out that "slow" is imprecise, changes, means different things to different people and/or use cases.

I completely get the intuition: "there's lag in the [UI|server|...], what's slowing it down?". But the reality is that trying to formalise "slow" in the type system is nigh on impossible - because "slow" for one use case is perfectly acceptable for another.

Yes, it's ridiculous. It's more of an OCD hobby for me, where I experience satisfaction "fighting" Microsoft every time I delete their garbage.
MIPS (R2000) did not outdone Intel and/or Motorola at the time, those last, but not least two enjoyed all "economics of scale" of the world.

MIPS was slower clock-frequency-wise than competitive offerings from Intel and/or Motorola and better pipeline design of MIPS did not add much.

Complex expensive workstation like IRIS used proprietary hardware to boost I/O bandwidth and/or to have several CPUs working in parallel. It was easier for SGI to make CPUs and other hardware around them in accord and I honestly think that Symbolics was able to pull something like that.
> The article mistakenly refers to Sagrada Familia as the cathedral of Barcelona. It's not. It's a minor basilica, not a cathedral.

There may not be enough institutional knowledge at CNN about Catholicism that the editors would know that there is a difference between a basilica and a cathedral.

This is the sort of thing that the folks at GetReligion.com were trying to address: not advocating any particular religion, but helping newsrooms ‘get’ religion, in the senses of understanding it and of not getting things wrong. The example at https://www.getreligion.org/getreligion/2023/12/29/why-we-di... is a really good one: the New York Times in 2014 published ‘the vast Church of the Holy Sepulcher marking the site where many Christians believe that Jesus is buried.’ There was no-one on the editorial team that handled that article who knew enough about Christianity to know that Christians don’t believe Jesus is buried anywhere.

Probably with less complexity, and less overhead than scaling horziontally
Risk is a big one.

Bombardier, an established airplane company, couldn't find any customers for the C-Series (now the A220) until they gave away the plane to Airbus for free. Now it sells like hotcakes.

Companies simply were not willing to take a risk on a new plane without establishment backing.

Religions like to "rank" things so it's clear who's on top and who's on the bottom. In terms of churches, same thing applies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilicas_in_the_Catholic_Chur...

In short, the "major" is reserved for four top churches in Rome. "Minor" is used to signal that the church is of significant importance, but not as important as the major ones. It's not related to the size at all :)
The blades get worn in time (decades) due to multiple factors like: mechanical fatigue, erosion, UV, evolution of technology, etc.

They can not be refurbished or recycled into new blades but they can be repurposed to produce street furniture, reinforced plastic pellets or even as a concrete ingredient. So far there is not enough of an economic incentive to find uses for the quantity of blades being discarded instead of just dumping them. There are however companies and research projects working on making blades more recyclable and sustainable.

I also don't think dumping them is a huge issue. They do not leach toxic chemicals, do not produce microplastics, do not decompose into greenhouse gases. They are just a very voluminous waste product. In the transition towards a sustainable future I believe wind turbine blades are a really cheap technical debt to acquire.
> German politicians should have taken their energy security more seriously back in the 2010s.

Energy security AND national security. It was insane to build an economy on natural gas from a country with a long history of imperialism and autocracy, but Germans did it anyways. To be fair, the US did much the same with China with regards to manufacturing.

The US was begging its NATO allies across the Atlantic to have a more skeptical view of Russia for most of the 90s and 00s, not just 10s, and concerns were brushed off as the ramblings of unsophisticated cowboys. I remember talking to Germans in January 2022 who still thought that the Russians wouldn't invade Ukraine.
Maybe not on the design and original plans? IIRC they're trying to do everything according to original designs, which would not be 'collaboration', just... implementation. It's been over 30 years since I was there though - some friends who went more recently said a lot more has been done since then. Might be fun to go back and look for the differences, but I do not remember much detail, just a sense of 'big'.
Without speaking to whether or not it's valid conjecture, it's become necessary to treat any Germany is dying material with a little extra skepticism due to it being used as a polemic talking point about what happens when you go all in on renewables, etc.
It's roughly about half by revenue, I think. On iconic not sure how much that matters ultimately.
Paris turning it into into a cylcing city is probably medically better then anything google ever did. It will have effect on all other French cites, as it always does with Paris.

Those kinds of changes have far larger impact that anything related to what most tech companies do.

I don't really care that Europe isn't leading in Self-Driving cars or Air-tax or whatever the latest investor dream is.

The reality is we already have the technology to solve most of the major issues in regards to climate change and health.

The goal of this comparison is to provide an understanding of AIOHTTP and Requests and guide Python developers in choosing the most suitable library for their specific needs and project requirements. Whether you're building a high-performance web server, a simple data fetching script, or anything in between, knowing the capabilities and limitations of these libraries is a key step in your development journey.
It literally does. Whether someone has a stake in an argument does not affect whether it is true or false.
The energy use per capita can also indicate that people use less energy because of more careful consumption, modern appliances etc. I wouldn't see it as "wow, there is no electricity in Germany!!!".

There are some policies applied here since years such as the mandatory use of LED lights ( do they still sell non-led? Can't remember to be honest), etc. In the last 2 years alone it was crazy the amount of renovations in terms of eco-friendly measurements in terms of electricity/gas (things like deutsche bahn changing the bulbs to use LEDs, not a small company I mean). Etc.

On the contrary, I see it as a positive thing: you can have a good modern lifestyle with less energy consumption.
It's not just energy, but availability of cheap natural gas as a feedstock for the chemicals industry. That had been a key input for a large fraction of German heavy industry. Those sectors are now shrinking in Germany and expanding in other countries which have more gas.

I was head of engineering at a YC funded startup for a few months.

You should be laser focused om what this person needs to do for you not what shape they might come in or where to find them. For example, you may say "we need someone to do everything tech" which I would frame as laser focused on a generalist and then write down the attributes of someone that would fit that and start sharing it.

We used angel list jobs at the time and I posted here on the monthly "who's hiring" thread.

It is going to take a lot of time to interview. Be prepared to spend money on a recruiter ($30k and up per hire) or 50% of your week (or more) talking to folks.

As you grow your team follow the "hire when it hurts" advice and make sure you know what you are bringing another body in for because it is gonna add to communication overhead. I also recommend explaining to your team why you are hiring and what you need as you grow and dont just show up with surprise hires.

Once you get your posting out there you will get good candidates.

If you are ready to pay for great talent then I can also recommend reaching out to Recurse Center for candidates. https://recurse.com

Well first thing they do even before birth is starting sucking your energy out so there is that. Now that they are gently reaching teenager years, I call them roomies.

i remember reading a study that showed conclusively that verbalizing your memories changes them permanently, every time. at some point, if you talk about a memory enough, you wind up remembering the words you've used to describe the memory far more than you remember the memory itself.

depending on the words you choose to describe the memory, and how much you talk about it, you can dramatically change what you think you saw or heard or experienced, to the point where you're telling something that is based on memory, but is now effectively 100% fiction.

human memory is very, very flawed.
Or rather the reverse, in Linux terminology. Only processes exist, some just happen to share the same virtual address space.

Threads and processes are semantically quite different in standard computer science terminology. A thread has an execution state, i.e. its set of set of processor register values. A process on the other hand is a management and isolation unit for resources like memory and handles.
Is it even possible to buy a mainstream laptop without Bluetooth now? Maybe absolutely bottom of the barrel bargain basement sorts of laptops, but probably even those come with it considering how an Intel AX210, a good recent WiFi+BT card, can be had for $15-$20 retail and I’m sure is even cheaper for OEMs (plus, even cheaper crappier chipsets exist).

In the US, I believe this particular problem is mostly avoided by secured property taxes. If there’s a property with an impenetrable ownership scheme, someone needs to pay the property taxes. And if no one pays, then the government (usually the county) can auction off the lot to recover the taxes. At this point, any residual value from the sale and/or tax debt is subject to plenty of arguments between the county and the previous owners (and some of this even went to the Supreme Court recently IIRC), but the property is now owned by whomever bought it at auction, and no consent by the previous owners is required.

(I don’t know how other encumbrances, e.g. contractor’s liens, are handled.)
I've tried several times to actually move to a Linux distro, whether Ubuntu, Pop_OS, Mint, even Zorin.
