a programming language (together with its standard library) should guide you toward safe code, while keeping an enjoyable experience. Saying "this thing is hard to get right, so the PL should make you feel the pain" is only margin

there's good difficult, the one that forces you to clarify your point, and there's bad one: the one that makes simple constructs hard or impossible without going through hoops. From my understanding, rust has a little bit of both.

I’m really surprised to see those language emerge after having read so many praise about rust being a fantastic system language. Although, from a personal standpoint, anytime i see rust code or read about horror stories fighting the compile

really surprised by that news. I had the feeling that beside large tech companies trimming down developers after unreasonnable hiring spree, the demand was still strong... I keep hearing about how hard it is to find good backend engineers f

neutrality is judged pretty severely by history, and is often considered as cooperating with the aggressor. I'd be very cautious if i were india.. Now, the hypocrisy is that europe is probably happy India is buying ressources from russ

i think you must be confused. The only real war happening right now is led by russia on the ukrainian territory. What the west is doing is taking anti-war measures to actually make it stop.

I’m having a super hard time understanding why you’d want a native app require 100% connectivity. When the app feels like (or is) a web app, then at least the user understands intuitively that nothing is going to survive connection loss.

My 2 cents : In an ecosystem like this you may want to have businesses build extensions or plugins that they'd sell. GPL has this reputation of spreading to everything it touches, and as such would scare them away.

as someone who's building a messaging app as well, let me congratulate you on releasing something that works. Only people that actually tried to build a messaging app know the kind of work it represents in order to have a good user exp

I think there must be some kind of maximum gap between the cheapest and the most expensive price in order for the market to work. Especially in something as essential as energy. The decision to combine all kinds of electricity under a singl

I’m with you, however mac os remain the best dekstop OS and iOS remain the best mobile one, even after all those years. So, they must be doing something right..

To me that’s the red flag. That an experienced game developer wasn’t able to properly troubleshoot down to the correct level, but ended up facing a black box and gave up.

well, i don't know where you live, but apples prices are widely different in supermarket depending on where they come from... And the difference comes in great part from the cost it took to produce them (labor, regulations, transportat

i double checked before posting, and what you're saying doesn't reflect what i've read regarding electricity market. FWIU, once the gaz station are active ( because of a surge in demand) the price is set to theirs for the wh

Rules for this market are a lot more complex than a straightforward producer / consumer one though. That give a lot of room for biased / non-optimal behaviors For example, only gaz-based electricity producers « needs » to be paid

That’s the logic we’ve followed. However we rushed like little kids, making the same mistake putin did with ukraine: we thought by putting enough pressure, russia would explode in a few weeks. It seems obvious now that the people in charge

Have any idea what the original intention behind this pricing system was ? There must have been a reason for it…
891.
by bsaul 4y ago
I must admit, i’m super curious to understand why nobody has pushed forward the idea of breaking down that pricing mechanism. My sincere hope is that there’s a good technical reason i’m not aware of.

I don’t believe the narrative that russia is doing just fine. A country with the economy the size of Italy can’t survive being cut of all their major commercial partners and sources of income all of the sudden, while at the same time being

10% to 20% only in europe. However, because of the super bizarre pricing mechanism of the electricity market in Europe, the market price is automatically set to the most expensive one in cases of spikes (aka: the ones producing electricity

If europe is destroyed this winter because of riots or total economy collapse, ukrainians won’t have anyone anymore to back them up. It may be an horrible dilemma but buying russian gaz while still maintaining embargo on anything else may s

I’ve already banned the use of actors in my team for at least two years (the time it matures). You are right, the bloat is there, and i have absolutely no idea how they’re going to reverse that trend.

i've been doing both big corp, small start up, freelance gigs, backend, mobile app, web development, huge system migration with running customers, database design, etc. I can guarantee you that 4/5 years xp is absolutely nothing.

Strangely, i know someone from lithuania that told me her whole family got vaccinated against lyme. Does a working vaccine already exists ?

the only person i've heard that were affected by lyme also were living in Poland, in the woods.. They were badly taken care of for years until they couldn't even move from their bed. Seems like poland really is a danger zone..
