I have made many video games in my free time and usually after 6 months or so I start feeling that this is the worst video game I have ever played, it makes no sense and I cannot relate at all to the me that start working on it. Sometimes I

I have very little knowledge about chemistry and biology, but I have the impression that there is something wrong with almost all artificial sweeteners. Even if there is nothing seriously wrong with them, like with Aspartame, some people st

They are an exclusively business-to-business company and their customers are major telecoms. I would guess the whole telco market is not affected much generally, especially not one more link down the chain. I already have trouble believing

It's definitely not like Ericsson went on a hiring spree during covid, like most other companies that are now laying people off. Their employee numbers have barely changed since 2019.

Of course old networks are still operated and maintained. 5G is exclusively "cloud-native" (i.e. microservices on Kubernetes) and most common core components are written in Java, Go and Python. So while Erlang is still being used

Interestingly I work at Ericsson Germany and we only got notified of this today. Just six days ago I commented: > Oh no. Since a large part of many medium-large sized tech companies' management style seems to consist of "copy w

They make the software that runs mobile networks and part of the hardware (as in radio towers, even chips in the past), various special purpose hardware used in the past is also still in use. They also operate these networks as a service to

At the end of last year I decided I would look for a new job at the beginning of this year, but I think I have to put it off for a while. The big companies, who just laid off thousands, probably aren't to eager to hire me right now and

It's not just the economy. A large, old population needs care, which needs to be provided by younger people. It's a problem if these younger people do not exist. The population decreasing as a whole is probably good, but a popul

Afaik you actually need much more. About 400GB just to load the trained model according to this tweet thread: https://twitter.com/tomgoldsteincs/status/160019698195510069... I am not quite sure how reliable the so

Oh no. Since a large part of many medium-large sized tech companies' management style seems to consist of "copy what Amazon and Google are doing", I am scared of what silly decisions in other companies this might inspire.

It totally does. I am from Germany and I cannot use my bank card for online payment and most people I know can't do it either. Especially if they have bank accounts at banks you can go to in person. Some online-bank accounts provide ca

The other answer to your comment says that you can't, so it's possible the the feature is broken or something? But you can configure a recovery email, which is supposed to be used, if you forget your password. But I have not used

This is clearly a bad idea, because credit cards are not as ubiquitous everywhere as they are in the US. If they don't want to do their research properly to figure this out, then they should at least ask, e.g. by giving a proper, time

Probably any IO heavy workload, which usually requires async if it should be performant (like in all other programming languages too).

I don't fall into any of the camps you mentioned specifically. I have been using C++ as my main programming language for a good 15 years and am a big fan of modern C++. I tried Rust for a month (every day) and I just feel like it gets

There was no way to implement a smart pointer in even a halfway usable and reliable way without move semantics, so C++11 is absolutely essential to use them well. Also I fully agree with the general sentiment. I have not produced a memory l

I got three exceptional performance reviews now, but nothing more than nice words and I am also kind of done with doing anything extra.

Of course if you searched and you could not find it, then I agree it's perfectly fine to pirate as well.

Music and movies are very, very different. While there is no site I know of that provides purchase of DRM free downloads of popular movies, there are many alternatives for music. I purchase most of the music I like from Bandcamp and I think

I think the point is rather: if they keep releasing stuff, it means they held stuff back the last time they released more stuff. It's natural to assume there is even more stuff still being held back.

More likely people might criticize that Planet Fitness does not exist in every country. Or it might not be close enough to everyone. Where I live the cheapest gym membership is 24€/mo and that gym is shady as hell (really bad reviews e

If you want to be accommodating to people using different units of measurement, I would consider adding kilograms rather than stones.

This is why I use unsigned integers for indices (and firmly believe most everyone should).

Not just the paper has to be perfect, but all the reviewers too. Sadly people don't just ask reasonable and already unanswered questions.

Though I have struggled with this quite a few times, I have never considered that preventing your code from being called from multiple threads is a great feature to have. I have written comments stating that certain functions should not be
