The ship would need to be designed around it, but the battery could be set up in a way to allow it to burn out without affecting the rest of the ship at all, it is not that hard to isolate a battery from the rest of the system. Although it

I wonder how viable an autonomous single-container electric cargo ship would be, instead of massive ships you could have thousands of tiny ones. With automated loading/unloading it could massively simplify logistics A solar panel cover

Trying to understand an existing IoT codebase is scarier than reading Lovecraft. Out of curiosity, why were you using SSH reverse tunnel for IPC? Were you using virtualization inside your iot device and for some reason need a tunnel between

At a project I worked at we were considering using protobuf for IPC between our desktop app and our network framework code which used different languages. The performance was part of the reason (compared to serializing using JSON) but the m

Second one is a Brazilian uni and there are more in it. The thing is, in those countries your uni name is everything. Imagine that if you want to have a career you need to go to harvard, otherwise good luck.

True, but like I mentioned, I lived in Campinas which is not that bad IT place, but still I was very unimpressed about the jobs around the region, either boring enterprise jobs or small scrappy startups. If I have to move somewhere where I

If you can work remotely you might as well live outside but close to São Paulo. Campinas, Jundiai, Santos and Guarujá are all close enough for day trips.

> Their entire life is oriented around visa-status That was the main reason I didn't even try to move to the US. Had plenty of visa-stress in Sweden with a work permit and helpful employer.

I can see myself moving back to Brazil at some point, but I will never live in São Paulo or one of its suburb cities.

Well I am from São Paulo state, I worked a few years in Campinas but I refused to move to São Paulo city. But even in Campinas (which is a somewhat decent tech center) it still was hard to find good jobs. From my point of view moving from S

I also have a lot of things in common with the person in the article, as a Brazilian living and working in Sweden I can relate a lot to the things he is saying. However I feel the main thing that made me move away from Brazil was not status

Both your arguments seems a bit tinfoil-hat. Grandparent is implying that all the execs making the RTO decisions are personally invested in business real state (why would multiple execs own a bunch of downtown real state?). Although a poin

You underestimate the "it looks bad on my numbers" effect. For example, if you have real state that you can't get rid of, for the company it doesn't matter if the people use it or not if it doesn't affect productivi

I have worked both in the EU and in Brazil and I do have to say that the Brazilian system is better. Labor protection is high (25 vacation days, guaranteed overtime pay, etc), but companies can still fire people. However doing so involves p

That is my experience with Brazil as well, it is very uncommon to find people who speak good english there in part because nobody ever travels outside the country.

It is cheap only if you don't change CPU or GPU architectures. This is why the PS4 doesn't have PS3 compatibility. When apple switched to ARM even with x64->ARMv8 translation layer (NOT emulating) it was still noticeably slow i

Nepotism? Like execs from different divisions fighting each other? To me it seems they just want to keep their lock-in monopoly because they own x86. Very rational albeit stupid, but of course the people who took those decisions are long go

They obviously target the companies the highest revenues. Also you would be suprised. For example Klarna, a Swedish company, is often in trouble with the Swedish tax authorities. A few years ago they had to pay huge amounts of money to the

Any codebase that is worked on by a lot of people tends to become over-complicated unless there is very good technical leadership (and even then). When you are solo-dev in a project and run into some underlying problem[1] of your codebase y

Yeah true, renaming a field in a struct is an API breakage but not an ABI breakage as long as you don't move it around or change its type.

by DanielHB 2y ago
If you move fields around in a struct that is passed between a library and library-consumer it will cause ABI breakage typedef struct { char name[50]; int age; } Person; vs typedef struct { int age; char name[50

by DanielHB 2y ago
Just for a small example how both are not the same, in your C library if you move the positions of a field in a struct it can actually break ABI compatibility (meaning you need to recompile your software), but not API compatibility (meaning

Let me give you an example that actually happened. We had a rocketship emoji to indicate success in an potentially dangerous operation related to high voltage wires. Right before we made a final release (which we would do every 4 months or
