> A potentiometer used for position feedback is usually just called a potentiometer. I guess it's technically an encoder, but I don't think I've ever heard it referred to that way. I have absolutely seen potentiometers cal

In general yes, but there are variable reluctance steppers, which work a little bit different. While a BLDC defines how it is made, a stepper has a couple of different technologies.

I’ve never seen him doing anything that I would call dangerous. Not in the sense that he, someone or something is at risk. He make things that can fail, but it will not reault in an injury.

As I commented elsewhere: when you see how much the rent for a small apartment is, and prices in the supermarkets, you may change options.

And there, after rent and utilities, I do not think is much difference.

Switzerland has high salaries because of the high cost of living. I would like to see aap adjusted by cost of living.

To add to the not-so-great salaries, there are high taxes and social fees + VAT of round 20%… OTOH, the typical/mean competence in SW seems relatively low if compared with high salaries countries. For example, as I was hiring last year

My policy is: no tests, no seminars, no long interviews. Max 2hs before there is a clear sign of real interest. I’ve seen enough people doing 2hs tests+ 3 2hs interviews + 2hs disertation showing what you can… at the end seems the probabil

The system is integrated into Guix, so makes sense to use s-exp for the configuration. Systemd has done things that previously were trivial very difficult. I would like to know how it fares in that arena. The syntax can just be learned.

I certainly do not think is good. I won’t say I’ve seen destroyed lives because of it, but pretty much miserable in comparison to what it had been if not followed the advice. It is just bot for anyone, and just too often fails.

I have seen that happening inside a company (big one). There is an internal job market, and I would say the ratio is about 20% or more fake. From every 20 applications to postings that seem like a copy of my resume, I get 5 replies (the res

This is making that company not look very good, is it?!

Neither needed they before. Just needed people who could drive to the destination. The ones who can without GPS, will be very much capable to work with it, and when the nav app. goes crazy for whatever reason, they will be still making usef

We could really make a valuation, considering that it can replace X % of developers… I think 100B is even low!

Anything that is already in another languages, is nothing new, is just a translation.

Maybe same salary, more output required, like it’s been when new technology allows for more/better work to be done in the same time.

I think it is a bad examples. It would be like: new trucks are automatic, while current manual. If you don’t learn to drive automatic, you can do that anytime, no problem, as long as you are proficient in driving manual.

I would argue even the opposite. And that is the reason I resist to using them (assistants). Just as people using GPS are loosing the orientation abilities, I’m afraid that excesive use of assistants may deteriorate our abilities.

In fact there are already programs (w/o AI) that do that (wrappers) . Is called a groveller.

Yeah. Is basically like claiming that current autopilot/automation in planes make pilots superfluous. Basically every part of the flight can/could be completely automated today, but still you need those 2 guys, for the event that

How would a regulation be like, that in this case, without significant detriment to investment, makes things better? Because I cannot imagine one (not saying there is not, just that myself cannot find it) I’m in a context of an super-regula

Emacs provides far more than just editing. Helps a lot with reading and VC (magit). Just magit would IMHO justify Emacs.

Agree, but I think in this case would not help. It was not that a version was lost, but all. Had they had VC, probably the repo would have been deleted.
