> purchased property Remember the distinction here is that the property is the licence to use the software, not a physical item. It confuses the discussion of what can and can't be done

I'd agree if this were a much lower threshold, but 300 grand is a high amount. Most people won't hit it

Presumably after a while that didn't ring true. I've worked at at least one company where an engineer flat out pirated the software he used, and I'd say all others have been a bit lax with the terms of the licence

As an embedded developer it always makes me sad to see physicists and engineers pushing the limits of physics to make faster hardware, just for devs to squander that power with lazy programming.

That was my takeaway. People don't care about AI because they don't really know what it entails When it's implemented to improve their typing on mobile, speech recognition or netflix recommendations then they care

No-one is truly healthy. Everything is a game of statistics You may be totally healthy and the peak of physical fitness and a sudden stroke destroys you. Everyone can improve their chances, but no-one can guarantee they're indestruct

Mental health is not a logical thing. Try telling someone who's in their darkest moments to just look on the bright side. It doesn't work.

If only mental health were that simple. Many people aren't suicidal until it gets too much and then the thoughts take over

I'm sure you do, but I'm also sure that a lot of people just don't bother contacting you because of it. I try to use signal instead of whatsapp wherever possible, but I think a lot of people just wouldn't bother if I on

Whenever these posts about limiting chinese influence pop up, a bunch of whataboutism comments against the US pop up. I'm thankful that hackernews highlights new accounts

It may not solve it, but it will change it. The amount of influence these apps have on people make them a prime target for planting and spreading misinformation.

Not really. China has so much manufacturing power that if they limited exports and focused on manufacturing for inland it would have major economic shifts for both china and the west. That's the problem with the world putting all of t

Do many dumb phones include whatsapp? I think for a lot of europeans that might be an issue

No they're the opposite. I want a small screen that I can reach the entire thing with one thumb. Not a screen that folds out to be twice as big as I want

by ChrisRR 3y ago
With bezels that big, they may as well have included a larger screen Edit: And it's twice the thickness of a normal phone

by ChrisRR 3y ago
Exactly. I've wanted a small phone for years now. I even bought the Qin 3 mini but the hardware is a bit crap (and I'm suspicious of the software) Now I have an S23 which together with the Zenfone is considered the only real &quo

I feel like degrading the discipline of programming/development to "coding" is a bigger step backwards. Coding is used in programming, but if you're just churning out code then you're not developing well-architecte

Go on, challenge yourself. Learn C. You'll become a better developer from broadening your horizons

If they want to get into video game programming, this is not the course. There's a ton of resources for Unity and Godot. This is for people who are interested more in the low-level implementation, game engines, and general history of t

Why ESP32 over any other microcontroller? ARM and MIPS are much more widely used in industry. Nostalgia is obviously a big factor in why people get excited for these courses, so PSX is a good choice. Although I do agree that using a non-p

by ChrisRR 3y ago
That's why I take your courses. I work in embedded so the low-level always interests me. There's too many devs who just throw javascript or python at a problem and need an i9 just to run their calculator app.
