So it’s almost as good as C#? Which would be my favorite language if not for strong ties to MS ecosystem.

Bambu and Fusion360 sure look nice, but if you're on tighter budget, 3D printers became both cheaper and more reliable in general, and FreeCAD recently got to 1.0 and is quite capable. I worked alongside people using early versions of

Why? I thought one should prefer immutability. As for typed dicts.. yes, I’m mostly stuck on old python versions, nice reminder.

Well it doesn’t need to be visible to work in contrast to camera. Seriously though, no technological and almost no economic barrier preventing embedding a mic into every wireless communication chip.

Absolutely. The main problem with python typing is that checking types is optional. A dialect with mandatory types (with inference) and runtime/load-time checking would be great.

If it’s 100x better than no types, then probably 10x better than C++ type system. It takes some time to unlearn using dicts everywhere, but then namedtuples become your best friend and noticeably improve maintainability. Probably the only p

Congratulations, looks like a big upgrade! Haven't had the opportunity to test it much yet, but I already see how the new measurement tool is much more useful. It was really annoying in previous versions, to have a 3D model of somethin

Very nice, I'd use it as one of the starting points if I was to learn 3D graphics as it touches upon a lot of math details in a seemingly simple problem.

Some Panasonic inverter microwaves don't suck. I have Panasonic NN-DS596M and its both featureful (almost a proper oven) and simple to control if you don't try to use every mode.

Peer reviews are very surface-level, often delegated to inexperienced students, and not incentivized well to do any deep analysis except checking for proper references (the incentive here being making the author cite you or your friends). B

I myself started programming with Delphi from 90s, but your arguments sound like only a perfect toolkit would be useful. I'd be perfectly happy to have 80% of Delphi 7 VCL in web-native format with a clear defined way to add custom com

Bootstrap started as something like this, but it both evolved too quickly IMO, and for some reason a generic look on the web is considered bad (by who? marketing? designers? even users as they think lack of distinctive style means lack of d

Angle grinders are just awful in their versatility. It’s almost always a wrong tool for the job, but the right specialized tool often costs more or not readily available.

Valid points, though for safety I thought less about shock and more about fire: the DC arc is much more stable, thus the switches, breakers and relays have to be more robust. The rated DC voltage of magnetic relays is about 1/10 of AC.

I'm not a pro in these systems ( yet , I hope), but my understanding is that, beside lack of demand, HVDC is a safety nightmare compared to AC, and inverters are getting more efficient each year. So, even given the choice, I'd kee

This comment might finally push me to try DuckDB, thanks. I’m quite proficient with scientific python in general, but Pandas API is just alien (and slow). SQL is more natural for its domain.

For some reason many people don’t get such abbreviations: I’ve created an internal library ‘i8r = imagesaver’, explained this abbreviation everywhere, and some 5 years later, as we are transitioning off of it, about 10% of users don’t call

Thanks for the great overview! This is why I'll never want to deal with HVDC: all this, with increased risk of arcing, and "conventional" electric shock, no thanks

Best I can come up with is OLL|6, a crude rendering of ОШБ, abbreviation of “ошибка”, error. Or maybe ПРOБ, as “prob” in “problem”

C++ on linux is indeed pleasant if you use only distro-provided library versions. Some specialized library with specific version, also no big deal. Need some upgraded version of a widely-used library -- get containerized or prepare for real

As a (non-web) developer, I just don't trust PWAs: I assume they'll break their offline functionality in the most unfortunate moment while being not as tightly integrated into desktop as proper apps (even those using Electron). So

What I like most about this is that it's self-contained, no external references whatsoever.

You probably don't need full text search, but only exact match search and very efficient time-based retrieval of contiguous log fragments. As an engineer spending quite a lot of time debugging and reading logs, our Opensearch has been

I know about LastPass, but how infamous is TeamViewer? for me it's like Zoom, ugly and clunky, but still somehow more reliable and featureful than competition.

Sorry, cannot answer these questions competently. From my understanding, LG has monopoly on TV-scale OLED displays, so others big players in premium TV market (Sony and Samsung come to mind) bet on productizing uLED.

Any data block that must be fully received before processing comes to mind (e.g. websites’ html), just request retransmission of parts that didn’t make it in first pass. Funnily enough it’s (realtime) video and audio that already uses UDP d

microLED is the next plasma, with tiny non-organic LEDs. Organic LEDs have some problems with color gamut and (AFAIR) response time that make them inferior to plasma, whereas microLED, while still exotic, is being rapidly developed. I'

TIL. I've switched to Mac about a year ago and it's sufficiently Linux-like to take such things for granted. I wonder what other surprises are going to bite me in the future.

Great watches, I'm a bit sad my Garmin Instinct spoiled more classic wristwatches for me — with GPS and a lot of sensors, and an actually functional flashlight , I cannot imagine giving up that valuable wristspace for a bit of added b
