That's actually my point : we seem to make the requirement of the proof backward nowadays. Interfering in a market and destroying an economical activity requires proof. Simply claiming "it's good for the environment" isn

I'm not sure how you can justify destroying our existing working nuclear infrastructure with science. Solar and wind projects were made interesting only through a high level of market-rigging legislation, forcing edf to buy back el

I don't understand why you keep asking. I'm saying i expected unanticipated side effects to happen. Just like anytime you disrupt a well established market ( like public transport in france), with arbitrary decisions based solel

it's a very famous fact that the fesseinhem nucleae power plant, for example, was an electoral deal between socialist party and the green one. But more importantly, the idea that the "renewable energies" had to be pushed forw

Well, then there's an easier way to shutdown this traffic, and let the market do its job : stop financing those airports with public money if they're not profitable. And let the ones that manage to actually create an effective bus

We've had numerous examples now of how pseudo-environmental policies destroyed economies and energy infrastructure in europe (germany becoming super dependant on gaz and coal, and france leaving its nuclear infrastructure to rust), wit

Yes ! Absolutely, pardon my chauvinism. Germans have taken the crown on this topic. They’re on another scale.

Bet : How long until this completely absurd measure shows its first detrimental unexpected side effect ? We french are really kings for disturbing markets because of ideology. used to be socialism, now it’s eco-bullshit ( ) ( ) eco bullshit

The graphic in OP summerize it pretty well. If all you need is something quick, and you don’t expect (or currently have the budget) to scale it a lot in the close future, then using a framework may very well be the best solution.

I don’t think any jews advocate for suppressing nazi symbols on asian soil, but maybe i misread the article. So, i don’t see what imperialism you’re talking about. Fight against nazi is a traumatic experience for every european, american an

America never ceases to amaze me. So it’s not ok to use « whitelist » or « blacklist » in your *source code* in xcode when coding in swift in case someone may actually be offended just reading those words, but displaying the symbol of nazis

How would the situation have evolved if we have had no lockdown at all is an interesting question, and assessing the quality of the models that were used to predict casualties is, IMHO, one of the main things governments should do asap. All

most people (in france at least) haven’t got their 2022 shot, and we’re completely fine. The virus evolution is what changed things.

People completely stopped vaccinating in france, and ICUs aren’t overloaded at all anymore. What changed isn’t the vaccination rates but the nature of the virus itself. Omicron completely changed the nature of the epidemic (that plus the fa

Sorry what ?? i feel like i’ve lived on a different planet. First, the reason people in the west lift lockdown has absolutely nothing to do with mrna vaccines, but with the fact that since omicron variant, covid is one or two orders of magn

This period is going to be studied as one of history’s bizarre moments, that people in the future will have trouble understanding. The fact that no major western country, or major political party, strongly condemned those lockdown measures

Do you have any example of the kind of things that it would enable ? I must say i've never had the need for this feature, but maybe it's just because i've never used a language that had it..

I'm really curious to know what code they actually managed to share between client and server. I've been doing fullstack mobile / server dev for 12 years now and i've never ever told myself "what a waste, if only i

Definitely my feeling as well. One can clearly see how swift got inspired by rust and is trying to build a more ergonomic one (aka a « dumb » rust). However, the general direction for the language is clearly hard to understand. I have the f

Swift isn’t crossplatform by any stretch. Some people may have succeeded in building reusable swift code across different platforms, but that was by going through a lots of hops, and is barely documented (i’m talking for example building

Even for apple shops, it doesn’t really makes sense. It is a myth to think that you can share anything of value between client and servers, except dumb data types that you’ll probably want to define in protobuf anyway for various reasons. A

As a fullstack dev, focused on ios dev for the past 10 years, i'd say swift for anything other than ios/macos dev is pretty much experimental. The community tries to expand swift's horizon with all its heart, but as long as a

Very surprised that any serious company was actually using it for real application. Can you provide links to some post giving more details ?

That was my first conclusion with that language after my first attempt. However on the second one, much later, i came to realize this language is an absolute marvel of carefully picked tradeofs, always in favor of simplicity and maintainabi

People don’t even trust themselves to host their photos. they rely on cloud providers for that. How do you expect them to become their own digital bank. It makes absolutely no sense.
