This might not shock you but it is a funny story. When I was in high school we used to learn Geography and capital of Burkina Faso "Wagadugu" stuck in my head. So every time someone was trying to be all jumpy and show off how smar

It looks like they were forward thinking and had a solid idea what will happen / be important in future.

Given how many devices nowadays depend on arm IP i think they don't have cash issue. If so than maybe rise prices. Also i don't think RISC-V is a real competitor yet. Arm has Apple as its customer and old founding company. I would

pigs are also used for vaccine testing. Maybe because their immune system is similar to humans. I wonder if man-bear-pig could happen if pigs would develop bigger more folded brains.

This might delay new fabs all over the world that needs EUV equipment. That is bad for people living in 2024 but in 2022 it will change nothing for us pesky consumers. So future people i'm sorry :( the silicon shortage didnt end faster

is it ? Most of EPYC processors are TDP 180/200 watt and there are cheap mobos for them that can host even two sockets. So I don't think that would be a big issue. Also we don't even know how they calculate TDP, lets not forg

I think Ampere doesnt support hyper threading. That means this 128 cores is comparable to 64 cores on EPYC/Xeon. Also there is the L2/L3 cache that is important and ofc arch. Arm still has low adoption because code has to be recom

Pattern matching could be amazing for Python. I love pattern matching in erlang/elixir.

Reddit has one thing going for it. Not much competition just like Facebook. It is a hard market to break into (social media) and people just don't try. We have new startups focusing on newest hottest shit like AI driven solution to mas

Exactly this. Assume nobody knows anything and explain everything 500 times. Also quick 5 minute call on Slack can save 4 hours to 4 days of sending emails. So prioritize fast issue solving rather than "process". Imho key things a

So i have Pi-top the Raspberry pi 3 Laptop. It wasn't expensive or anything. Keyboard is fine, touchpad is fine. But when i boot on it GUI and start VScode things works but starting a chromium on top of that brings a warm feeling to

You could do same with free tier google instance micro. The thing is, what do you get from exposing your own pi to internet ? Like you are not going to host websites and shit so what crude home automation and monitoring system ?

Open source low tech has a good Youtube chan. Here: https://www.youtube.com/user/SolarflowerOrg You can get inspired a lot, if anyone is in to Warhammer 40k it looks like watching an Ork Mekboy.

What about good old return (void ) and reinterpret_cast :) DISCLAIMER: Above is sarcasm. I always had a beef with "turbo smart C++ tricks" like overloading ! operator to do something entirely different like send message to a proc

Guys what would you do if given monopoly status and no regulation ? Exactly the same thing.

Good job man! I did start of the first on the list :D it was fun for a moment.

Exactly this. You don't have to be 180 IQ to solve it. There is no trick in this question. Much better than asking for FizzBuzz implementation.

With that logic the whole point of interview is invalid. Because you can take anyone and teach them what to do :) Imho the idea of simple question is to check basic understanding of data structures. It is not about checking if someone can a

I'm 36. I interviewed in last 10 years probably more than 250 candidates. Young programmers. Imagine that more than half couldn't explain what is the difference between queue and stack. There is maybe 1 in 10 or 50 Young devs that

Imho this looks good. It will save on key strokes and maybe bring more readability. I always liked "." or "->" syntax in different languages. My only worry is . being function composition operator so it might not be c

Exactly this. We can't focus on reducing costs easy, what we can is focus on obtaining energy easy and clean. Civilisation energy demands will only grow. So focusing on web taking 1% less energy will not be as impactful to all of us as

Correct if i'm wrong: The general conclusion is Vectors are faster and pattern matching is slower in observable way when generating vectors. I wonder if it changes when vec items becomes bigger structs and size goes to millions. Rust d

I used most commonly IO and State monads. but I didnt write any Haskell code for like 4 years now. So stuff could change. Maybe GHC got fixed ;)

Maybe the best middle ground is to build "Domes" style homes. But i think brick + concrete is the best solution. Sturdy, repairable and not overly expensive. If caves/underground bunkers or flying homes would be cheaper and m

Well schools should do both and learn skills that are easily transferable. Show options, but not deny any out right option. That is the theory. Often program for pupils is written by some dude in capital who gets a slice of the pie. Or is n

Do we need to make jq faster ? Anyone has issues with current speed ? Is there any specific reason other than "because we can" ?

The best things about Elixir are mix and phoenix. We all can talk about how well under load on multicore machines it behaves but that is the same as we would talk about Erlang. What pushes Elixir beyond Erlang is advanced macro language tha

The scaling factor for each app is really the way it interact with slowest part of the API. If it is Database than no matter how optimal your Rust code is, you might fare in the end not that much better than Rails just because you hinged ev

Well if you need full package of migrations, html rendering etc... Rails is still a good choice. It is 2020 not 1996 we have choice now and picking up framework/solution based on our needs is standard. Ruby/Rails and Elixir/P
