If you're 100% in on Apple, it's probably fine. Outside that ecosystem, Kotlin, Go or Rust are all probably better investments of learning time depending on the problem you're tackling. The question more is, is bothering to l

I neither expect Rust to go off the rails, but the Core developer team drama lately and Mozilla stepping away makes it that I will neither be surprised in the even that it does.

From working on the environmental sensor side of things, I'd concur. The VOCs will be able to be picked up, but the cross talk will be huge across other VOCs that don't themselves indicate pneumonia. There isn't one VOC, th

Lots of electronics in industrial environments (eg. ATEX ratings) in potentially explosive environments typically have this problem. But magnetic transfer is far lower data rate than this.

I'm not entirely sure it is. Pass through has serious engineering hurdles to get over first with latency, power consumption, weight etc. But the waveguide method has limitations rooted in physics and math that won't change until 3

Most of the government policy at the time can be tied to bribes by developers. Look up "brown envelopes"[0] or the subsequent Mahon (formerly Flood) tribunal. https://www.rte.ie/news/2003/0501/37800-

That's all from space. I'm guessing they mean, as I also mean, on the ground footage that isn't getting off the island yet due to the connectivity issues.

They won't slow it, but pause effects for a short while. The CO2 would still be there afterwards and all the while increasing, the oceans will still be acidifying, etc. The next years after would still be as bad as predicted

A few, but he one that is the closest rubber that hits the road is part of the FCC filing for radio spectrum access on satellite projects. Without which, you're not getting on most rockets.

Also don't forget it at no point can it turn around and face the earth or sun or the light coming from the suns direction will burn out the optics. If it does it once, and it's mission over. All the while essentially driving most

Half the population are conservatives at least, which is what I mean regards to reverting to the mean in a geographic area. Plenty of people are not libertarians but just base level, Fox news repeating (eg. Hillarycare), auth-right quadrant

From my experience, I find this is true only in the very core of core tech hubs that you can count on one hand. And also with a bias towards finance, adtech, crypto, fintech and other industries that rely on extracting wealth than creating

Can't churn through engineers at the rate SpaceX do with Ada vs C++. They'd run out of replacement staff very quickly.

There were a few companies that I was waiting for to go public that ended up going the SPAC route around the time I didn't have extra capital to deploy at the time they went public. Now, I'm just glad I didn't. While I still

Personally, it's less "Rust is great" more "We are seeking to address performance bottlenecks in security sensitive, uncontrolled inputs, please don't make me go back to C".

Simply already patched. Company sizes and number of attack surfaces vary. 22 hours is plenty of time for an input string filter on a centrally controlled endpoint and a dependency increment with the right CI pipeline.

Lawyers do not write laws. Politician, or at least the writing staff do. To stick to the analogy I guess: Lawyers -> Engineers Policy Writers -> Architects Politicians -> Executives, Directors, Sales and Marketing Judges -> QA

I've come to the acceptance that lawyers are to the legal system as software engineers are to technical systems. You pay people who specialize in knowing the ins and outs of a complex system so you can get on with your life as a citize

50%+1 of a standard living persons actionable career. Do assuming 18 to 70. That makes 52/2 = 26 and +1 = 27. For sake of even numbers, you can fight over 25 or 30. I don't mind either way, both are far better than the current sta
