I'm hoping that someone brings to market a simple usb-c extension cable that has a magnetic middle bit that if pulled splits the table in half.

I have to say that I agree with the parent post. I specifically haven't upgraded because: 1. no hdmi 2. no sd 3. escape key 4. keyboard 5. magsafe 6. usb a I admit that maybe #6 is a little Luddite-like but there will be too many leads

I hadn't realised until you said that this is the same physical size as the 15" MacBook Pro. This is very cool. I care very little about the webcam...

How do you mean? They're different units and it is well documented (titles/legends, etc.) which should avoid confusion

Except that you do need to know two technologies. Part of architecting it right is also using the technologies correctly and that's extra knowledge + time + skill.

Sounds interesting. Tell me more. What do you use to host it on? Do you ever run any X/window systems?

The columns aren't aligned quite right. That's what I (mis)read too.

Do you have a quick github project example?

I tried giving this a run from CLion and it crashes if I search first, see #include "trie.hpp" #include <iostream> int main() { trie<char16_t> trie; // Greek std::cout << trie.search(u"

There should be a way to actively discourage users to keep away from these old libs that aren't used. There's a significant group of new developers coming to python as their first language and first coding use. The kind of crap (

You're probably right; but it seems odd that the power adapter is such a step back

Me too. I see little reason to upgrade it. I planned to upgrade it two years ago but am still waiting for something that's up to the expected design. More memory (more than 16 gig) would have been nice when I bought it, but that's

Do these really matter if you're running a compute farm? If you're already locked down couldn't you use that as a way to mitigate risks?

Most of the stuff that I wrote in my last job was designed to keep going whatever. I didn't want to be disturbed with issues and as a tiny team we automated and fixed everything that was likely to cause us issues. I left >6mo go and

Breaking down features into smaller chunks isn't waterfall. There seems to be some confusion that there are two ways of delivering: agile vs waterfall and if it isn't one then it is the other. Waterfall is about the set of phases

There's a significant cost to this work. Machines have to be upgraded: OS's changed, libraries updated. They did this in Russia and it caused us a headache due to python libs that needed updating and then OS changes. etc. etc.

On linux you can get nanosecond timestamps, and so could record them. This could be useful for capturing certain events. Is that what is meant? IIRC Windows XP didn't support resolving timestamps smaller than 8ms but we've moved b

I expect things to just work and I expect them to work for a reasonable lifespan. I often think that a piece of software ought to live as long as a car, and for something commercially created (e.g. costs as much as a house) then it ought to

If every application were signed (like on the apple store), does that help reduce the risk here? If it were a game server then all apps run would presumably be provided by some official third party who could be relied upon to sign the binar

Tooling changes (very) regularly. Learning concepts and techniques is far better for the long term since many of those techniques/concepts can be applied to new situations.

I've been interviewing quite a few people for roles and more recently there have been far more who have PhD's in Machine Learning. I point out that role won't use these skills/expert knowledge, and ask what they think. N

That tends to be a more difficult sell because the counter-argument from further up is 'But we're not seeing those bugs right now, and won't we find bugs when we do this upgrade?'

In one way the CTO gets the 'purchase' of insurance here. Not against the company having issues but for their job because they can say, "Well I hired the best company to do this. If they couldn't do this, then we definit

I had exactly the same feeling. One of my friends was a doctor at a hospital and there was a serious mistake which my friend reported to the consultant. The consultant made a good point that it was never just one mistake that caused the ser
