I guess, but things started with an Arduino and no project.

My roomate started an arduino project for this and we used the sonic sensor perpendicular to the ground to be able to tell how much the door was opened too (by measuring how close the top side of the door was to the sensor as it moved close

I find them amazing, it's just that printf is unreasonably good given how cheap it is. If I had the symbols, metadata, powerful debugger engine and a polished UI, I'll take that over printf everyday, but in the average situation p

Yeah right, legalized bribery means the elected leaders have priorities other than citizens.

Printf debugging excels on environments where there's already good logging. Here I just need to pinpoint where in my logs things have already gone wrong and work my way backwards a bit. You could do the same with a debugger setting up

Ads just make money out of people, why not cut off the middleman?

I don't get why ads are prioritised over travel information.

by dietr1ch 2y ago
No, you need 3 satellites because they are far enough that their position and time gives you too much uncertainty. If the entire sphere where I could be fits within 5m I guess I don't need other satellites and their time to start inter

Is it spoofing if you are telling the truth? Just pretend to be a GPS satellite during its morning commute.

This is really cool. Sort of related, what I find kind of silly, is that my car probably knows really well where I am, but can't help my phone figure out where my car is pointing to despite being connected to it.

I really don't get it. Everytime I read about Australian technology it's an article that I'd still find believable after replacing "Australia" with "North Korea".

As for normal I beg to differ, but yeah ofc anyone can rent it.

RAM throughput comes from a wide bus, but I think that nowadays memory access latency is getting pretty important to keep the CPUs working.

AFAIK now the ram gets to be way closer this way (which is why the M series gets to destroy everyone on benchmarks where it can show off that). I think that it'd be cool to have that memory become an L4 cache and still have cheaper ram

Other than water and veggies, pretty much everything I buy has always been better than what I had 2,5,10 years before, but only housing has been becoming increasingly prohibitive.

This migration took the industry years because it was not that simple.

Today economists use things like GDP to understand the economy and you still hear about it and still guides decisions with big impact. Things like the Gini coefficient is over 100 years old and it showed that the economy could be doing grea

Maybe it's population decline instead of severe population increase beyond what society can sustain. It's like the infinite economical growth didn't account for finite resources.

by dietr1ch 2y ago
Why does the standard economic answer have any credibility yet? Standard economics are a simplistic model that fails hard to account for the effects of their own simplifications. No one sees physicists saying that a bouncy ball will bounce

I'm all in for connectivity, which is very needed all around the world. It's my 3rd spending only behind really pressing social issues, even before education because I think it boosts it so much that we might not need to spend so

How much does a cable like that cost? I feel like governments should be funding healthcare, housing and connectivity instead of missiles thousands of miles away from their borders.

by dietr1ch 2y ago
Well, the usable capacity of the cable increases, but the cable itself has been doing it's job perfectly all the time :P I thought that endpoint upgrading of submarine cables was a sort of well known thing (at least amongst people that

Why do you get so defensive? Also, didn't what I said about usage better map to number of dependent crates or downloads by cargo? Both are listed on https://crates.io/crates/ractor

I don't think it's a good metric, does it get stars because it's cool, or because people are building things with it while taking advantage of the Actor model?

by dietr1ch 2y ago
I guess it's a bit hard to change the way of thinking and structuring programs/applications. We mostly do either blocking procedural things, or web servers. Maybe actors can help remove the network from web servers where they add

It happens, but all syntax families eventually become familiar, even on LISP you eventually stop worrying about the parentheses as you learn how to grok the code.
