I guess I am from (and work with) the previous generation. I haven't used "Die Party geht bis..."# for almost a decade now, that might be a hint. #and my "parties" never ended before midnight for more than 2 decades

Not always - but the older you get, the more you can accept technical " shortcomings ", and less so social ones. I nowadays don't even care that much about the technology I am dealing with, but things like a hostile environme

Which doesn't mean that they are any better than the provided standard implementations. They are there because it makes sense to have them. Now you don't have build and maintain your own ship.

Dude, I live in Austria. We know what snow is and how to move it. This is what you build for that purpose: https://img.archiexpo.de/images_ae/photo-mg/67143-15337174.w... https://d3v9db8ug40up8.cloud

A lot of people, those around me included, seem to not grasp that for safe overtake of a bicycle you still require a second lane (at least partially) besides your own. But in traffic and the laws lane usage is binary. There is no such thi

You should know that I have two XPS13 in my possession, both with Ubuntu pre-installed, so I know the economics of it. I was questioning your logic. Are you concerned with it's purchase price or it's resale value? You can't h

You can still wipe the disk and install just whatever OS you want, right? Dell doesn't force you to use the pre-installed OS? I don't understand the resale value either? You can always re-install windows? Do people pay more with t

Can confirm, I'm pretty sure I was exposed to almost exclusively Mollweide maps as a teenager (Austria).

This comment rubs me all the wrong ways possible. Is the posted link supposed to be a reference? That is your own tweet aka self-reference, boasting your own contribution. In the tweet itself you say "estimate"! How do arrive at s

I don't think it works that way. While in general efficient programs can save energy, the "saved" MB/s do not necessarily correlate with saved J. There is no direct cost for a instruction, there is a severe overhead from

Oh, that same scandal went through all of Europe. But the "ewww"-effect came mostly from the mislabeling part.

Eating horse meat was very common in central Europe before the big wars. In WWI and WWII even more so, horses were declared essential for the war in axis countries, and eating them became illegal. In Italy horse meat picked right up again

I don't think that's true anymore.

Are you serious? I mean, of course, I also like short compile times... but since when are they considered a serious cost? What are we talking about? Seconds? Minutes? Hours? Are you using your compiler as a syntax checker? Always compilin

"C is faster/smaller/... than C++" hasn't been true in a long time. I would argue that the time you need to invest to get something done correctly in C is a cost you can avoid with (modern) C++

As mentioned below, every standing water has (on average) the same amount of inflow as it has outflow, otherwise it wouldn't be there in the first place ("dry up", evaporate, etc.) In fact, I know an artificial pond (and I gu

I think comparing it to C isn't fair. The incumbent is not C, it is JavaScript. Initially JavaScript was also simply run on an interpreter. And it wasn't particularly fast until it got considerable attention by Google & Co, an

The whole problem with the whole argument is: It isn't a binary choice.

LiIon batteries apparently benefit a lot from not never being at 100% and 0%. I think there is a reason why car manufacturers over-provision (i.e. the better designed electric vehicles never charge to real 100 %)
