China is relying heavily on coal power (AFAIK, can't find reliable source quickly). Iceland has clean energy, but in contrary to the popular wisdom "only" ~30% is geothermal, most is hydro. See https://www.electric

IRC is easy to bridge to Matrix, so that could be fairly compatible with the more conservative guys at CCC(C) ;)

I did not have much time so I attended only a few talks. However, I was very pleasantly surprised how well it worked. Not only technically - it just works great having the video stream in a chat window where people can freely talk to the pr

Even in TypeScript optional parameters are very common, so I don't really think it's a JS specific optimization.

I think we were both unhappy the same way and I think there is going to be quite a lot of people with the same experience. While I love[d] learning new things I just hated high school, homeworks, ... as all of that was so boring.

Summer breaks are great if you are going to visit cool places, make new friends on summer camps, ... Not if you are locked home with your parents and doing so many annoying homeworks + attending online lectures

I think that children want back to school as they miss their friends. Also, at least here, the online education not much less painful than going to school - there is more annoying homeworks, lectures are still super boring and attendance is

The goal is to taste / look / behave like meat so why not call it plant-based meat? In the end, the properties matter, not the production process.

Yes. It actually exists and is fairly popular - the web. Unfortunately, Google has squeezed itself into it too and can now block whatever it wants ;( ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25802366 )

This seems like unsolvable problem - if you'd want to allow calling C macros from your new language, you would have to be C superset. So no memory/thread/... safety, weird syntax inherited from C, ...

Step 1, get a custom domain so you can migrate providers easily. It costs like 6€ a year, definitely worth it. Step 2, Fastmail, Protonmail M$, ... will be happy to offer you email for few € a month. If you'd desperately need to save m

C/C++ and Rust actually run very fine client side nowadays. However, it's just more cumbersome to make UI in those languages, so it's mostly used to port existing libs or for performance.

Just btw, I find a machine learning course at Charles University by Milan Straka better (deeper, more entertaining). Maybe I have bias, I'm studying at that school. "Thanks" to COVID, it's online and public - https:&#x2

Even when not considering browsers - working with git server-side is a pain as it's so coupled to the filesystem. Not only you have to be careful about races, but also you have to know at which state is the repository at the moment. An

I like to use PowerShell for scripts (sometimes), while I use fish as a interactive shell. I'm a SW developer familiar with .NET, and it's reasonably easy to call any .NET functions from PowerShell while it's also easy to cal

I would not say that, sometimes it's quite powerful to combine these paradigms. I think they would not design a language for CLR only to force them to create a huge interop subsystem. You are right, however, that OOP should not be the

I work in VS Code (backed by Omnisharp language server) and I like it more than Visual Studio (it seems to be faster and has some good extensions). But it's not the same and does not contain all the features (and all extensions). Somet

Well, in these cases it's very similar to F#, except it's based on .NET and has different syntax. I guess the main point of the comment above is lacking IDE support - refactoring tools don't exist and autocompletion is also n

It's not hash, you probably want to prevent bad guys from making you ID collisions.

IMHO, in most cases you don't need performance nor "security", if you simply generate IDs for some documents in DB that generating ID is totally negligible in comparison with storing that on disk. In case it is a performance

Well, in lot of cases you actually don't need that but it's a nice to have feature. The typical case being just giving IDs to some items you store in database - you can either give them UUIDs and enjoy that you can generate the ID
