Former EVE player, and member of SA. Mittens is a complete narcissist and all around horrible human being. I've been out of the loop for a long time now, but even from the title of the post I instantly thought "I guess something f

You can be skeptical all you want but given that most of Ontario's power already comes from Nuclear, and Ontario operates the largest nuclear facility in the world by both reactors and output, you are yelling into the wind.

I was wondering about this too. I'm in Canada and we've been raising our rate even more aggressively than the USA. What is stopping Europe?

Being devils advocate, there are other languages and ecosystems significantly more open than .NET. Microsoft has a stranglehold not just on the language, but the runtime, build tools, and even the most popular frameworks to do anything usef

If you can setup HPC at scale you can setup Ceph for object storage. It will save you so much money in the long run.

I feel you about that startup time garbage. I did end up working on a GraalVM based Spring Boot app that was super cool as part of our business requirements were taking in user provided Python and Javascript code for execution and executing

Just from my experience, its flexibility and feature set. Some points I find relevant (specific to Spring Boot): - If I'm building a web service I can choose if I'm using a thread based sync approach or a reactive non blocking app

Yea this comes to the poor alignment point. I recently left a company where I led a team in building a high quality and very complex product but the job felt super easy. Now at my new gig I'm managing a new team where the product is ga

As a Serb, I always need to remember that Bosnian-Serbian written in Cyrillic is basically a 200 year old language.

I hate the old school way of writing Java more than any other language. I love writing in "modern" Java more than any other language. Lombok, RxJava/Reactor where possible, and monads everywhere. It is beautiful and succinct

Jesus fucking Christ what a terrible take and highly illegal in most sane countries. I'm Serb, I've hired and worked with Croatians. I've had colleagues who were Lebanese and worked along side Israelis. I've had a Palest

I'm a huge AMD fan but this is bonkers. Yes, Intel has floundered for a number of years, but at the same time they are a foundry themselves, second only to TSMC (for now), have incredible manufacturing capacity, and seem poised to star

In modern genomics, you are seeing more and more use of BAMs (Binary versions of SAM files which themselves are Sequence Alignment Files) even for unaligned data that FASTQ was normally used for. Not only are they smaller in size, but they

I'd love to know if they floated any of these patents to Google, Apple, etc... and if those companies did the math and decided that litigation against a patent troll would cost less than what Blackberry was asking for.

Not sure how you can agree about MS but have hesitations about Apple. For all its faults, MS is way more open and end-user friendly than Apple. Also, smart phones and portable devices in general are the general compute devices of the curren

Super basic? What more do you need!? It makes waffles! Also I just saw that they actually sell the individual parts should you need to replace something. This company seems like a real gem.

Yes this. Differing glibc versions caused us headaches.

I don't disagree with what you are saying and you are not wrong, but it is also key to remember that when the Wheat Board was dismantled, CP and CN rail immediately started maximizing their profitability to the extreme by cutting down

People here are giving you some pretty ignorant ideas. The reasons things like this exist for certain industries in Canada is to maintain healthy markets while protecting the smallest of players in those markets. Things like Maple Syrup and

Aside from speed, one thing that really eats at me is that it makes any sort of functional programming overly verbose, unfun, and just not very idiomatic. Also the the vast majority of python programmers simply don't understand the bes

Asking the real questions here. I finally gave up on using an XPS15 with Ubuntu because I could not get over the fact it cannot do high quality bi-direction bluetooth audio. Edit: Looks like it does offer some improvments over pulseaudio:

The way I see it, it doesn't matter how much bigger the screen is since ages ago MacOS switched to the default behaviour of full screening an app when hitting the green maximize window control. That default behaviour in combo with the

I really think the MBP notch is not long for this world. The moment I saw it announced and found out it didn't do facial recognition I knew Apple itself was hesitating on it. Even the perfect SDK for building out applications cannot so

Here I am in Canada, in a city powered by the largest nuclear facility in the world by output, in a province where 60% of the power is Nuclear. Please tell me more about how it is bad, or do you only cherry pick your arguments?

Sometimes I feel crazy when people start arguing about nuclear. Up here in Ontario, 60% of our power comes from nuclear. If Canada can manage to have an indigenous nuclear industry with our culture of regulations and red-tape, what on earth

It's not like the laptop generates any heat once you turn it off. It's more like its not vented out and is absorbed by other components that normally do not get warm. The total heat is not any greater.
