Calling a constructor is DI. ‘new’ is the only DI framework required. Benefits: Unbelievably fast startup time No magic No annotations, XML or YAML required No classpath scanning related security vulnerabilities Conpletely deterministic In

Is it me, or do the protanopia (top right) and deuteranopia (bottom left) images look identical? If I’m colour-blind this would be a weird way to find out.

It’s hard to get good data - everybody seems to have something to sell. That said, I’m enjoying this person’s YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/XCvUf9WU4qI He at least refers to physiology and his videos avoid taking about

Context also matters in the date parsing scenario. 11/12/22 could be several different dates depending on the context.

For some people memory is event-driven not interrupt-driven. They can remember all the steps in a complex task, or when with friends, all their shared history but forget to take out the trash, or birthdays, or to call their friends.

“We collected data all summer long, from all over California. Nobody pressed the defrost button! Guess we can get rid of that” Touchscreens for any functions related to operating the vehicle should be regulated out of existence IMO. It’s a

That final, 1 word sentence is one of the major problems of PRs. An engineer might spend several hours really thinking through a problem, talking with colleagues, whiteboarding options and coming up with a workable solution that addresses a

Even if Google dusted off their 2005 codebase and ran it on today's web it wouldn't come close to the results quality of Google in 2005. The SEO industry has been in an arms race with the search engines for 16 years. 2005 Google w

It frequently loses track of libraries, claiming large chunks of the codebase won’t compile until caches are cleared and it is restarted. It gets stuck indexing forever, losing all code completion and navigation abilities until it’s restart

I feel the non-JVM targets are a real distraction from what is a lovely language. I’d rather they focussed more on fixing the issues with kotlin in IntelliJ - you’d think controlling both the language and the IDE would result in a less bugg

Fuel cell and battery electric car R&D are about the same age. Both technologies were actively explored from the 1990s. For personal vehicles BEV is hands down better. The next generation of BEVs charge at double the voltage of the curr

When the first ICE cars arrived they had to buy fuel from pharmacies and general stores and probably had the exact same anxiety. Electricity is ubiquitous. Pretty soon charging points will be everywhere, with the added bonus that you start

If it's made from fossil fuel, whether coal, gas or oil, we cannot afford it. Any 'solution' that includes taking carbon out of the ground is not a solution. The fossil fuel industry would love to sell us on blue hydrogen. Th

That is the equivalent of having a 5m column on one side and being open to air on the other side. There is no free lunch - for the membrane to experience 100m of water pressure on one side only, something else has to be reducing the pressur

It reads like the spokesperson specifically and precisely refuted the claim put to them exactly as it was stated. We can infer nothing - it might be that he thinks nobody should work remotely, or everyone should.

Same with indicator stalks - not all road junctions are at 90 degrees - I'd love to see a video of activating a yoke-mounted turn signal with it turned. I don't want to do trig just to find the turn signal and then have right and

Intel don’t have production runs of CPUs with different clock speeds. They make a batch, test them then work out the clock speed that batch is good for. Then sell them at a variety of prices. You can overclock and 90% of the time it’ll be f

Both the movie and the original book are, IMO, great. The science in the book is possibly more consistent and is a 'better' story. I rewatch the movie about once every couple of years on average.

One of my issues with schema languages is that they're not actually languages. Having used kotlin's typesafe builders a few times, other mechanisms feel hamstrung by comparison.

If they've hijacked a subdomain, they can submit it to LetsEncrypt and get a cert. LetsEncrypt checks that you control a domain by asking you to serve some data from it. The domain is already hijacked so from LetsEncrypt's perspec
