In my job we have metrics, but they are not mandated to employees. There are no targets and stuff like that, they are just there if you want to know. Managers track it and try to optimize for it, but nobody bonuses or employment is on the l

In that case 1MW doesn't sound like a whole lot to be worth optimizing for.

That sounds like a lot, but how many of those machines does an average fab have? Seriously I have no idea.

It is not much different from all the European, US and Japan car companies do in Brazil. Brazil has high tariffs (for pretty much everything imported) so companies set up local factories to make the goods. Thing is those factories are not f

The problem with this approach is that SQLite dialect is not the same as most production setups. Even if you use an ORM you often have manual queries or you are using a feature that is only supported in some databases (like geospatial queri

Yeah I have been using quake-style terminals (guake on linux, iterm2 on mac) for _years_. I never met another dev in person who also uses it. I am a single massive monitor kind of person. Quake-style terminal + all apps in maximized window

Yeah that is a good point, I also imagine lua is far easier (build/linking) to add into your application compared to pulling V8 or JavascriptCore. So if you only need a small language to do a couple thousand lines of code in than it st

Lua used to be very popular for embedding because the runtime was minuscule so it could run in very constrained environments (like old consoles). This is mostly a non-issue these days though. JS and Lua are very similar feature-wise and I i

It is because type inference has become a standard feature in most languages so you don't have to type AbstractBeanCounterSingletonFactoryFactory all the time. Also the duck typing crowd were rebelling against polymorphism and over-use

Why? When electronics don't work the first thing I do is hit it kinda hard, same as the old days.

My inlaws were trying to transfer files to a PC from their phones with one of these non-data cables. Even my somewhat tech-savy partner didn't know non-data cables. I taught them the trick about feeling the cable stiffness, I showed th

One of my biggest concerns of doing something like this is being too far away from specialist healthcare in my old age. I see my 70 year old mother struggling to find specialist doctors without going to the big city (which is 2 hours away).

They want top tier talent to work on crappy quality products/code Meaning people who can unravel all the crap they have to maintain but with no agency to enact any sort of long term fix. Plenty of this kind of work going around, the ol

> that other systems don't have this assurance My understanding is that most (all?) GC languages are memory safe, but do not ensure statically verifiable thread safety at all. Like Java, Go, C#, Python, etc.

by DanielHB 2y ago
I am not experienced with rust and borrow checkers, but my impression is that borrow checkers also statically ensures thread/async safety while most other memory safety systems don't. Is this accurate?

I don't usually use VPN on my personal computer, but my home-network pihole is always in a VPN (to denmark currently). I even put some firewall rules to block my pihole from sending traffic to any other network interface besides the VP

We were using AWS Cognito and had to make a "pre-token-generation lambda" to filter out only the AD groups we cared about. We had a huge map of AD group IDs to our internal group names (multi-tenant application, so each client had

What does "stealth mode" mean? Quite curious, I have been scraping some websites for my girlfriend with nodejs/puppeteer and put the content on an .epub file (she likes to read on her e-reader) and it can be quite annoying to

You are not 100% wrong, but I think it is the media that makes the cops put extra resources on certain cases. Now the media did bring it to international attention partially because he was rich and had some power. But the main thing really

I have been using it to ask questions about the document. For example I throw the document at the LLM and ask something and ask it to quote the original text. Then I ctrl+f the original text for the quote just to make sure the LLM is right.

It is really interesting because I have been using LLMs a lot for reading legalese documents. At least in the realm of Legal matters we already have this dynamic of "people make overly wordy and bloated LAWYER generated content and oth

LLMs are a great help with terraform and devops configuration, they often invent things but at least the point at the documentation I need to look up on. Of course everything needs double-checking but just asking the LLM: "how do I do
