Can confirm, am "Software Engineer" but from a family of Real Engineers™, what we do on a day to day basis only resembles engineering in the weakest sense. Both professions iterate on failure but Real Engineers actually spend a si

Knowledge is never meaningless, knowledge always has been and always will be power. If you seek to understand the massive changes our world is going through then the answer is the same as it's been for ~20 years now, learn to write sof

I will now use this opportunity to bitch about Oracle not supporting the BOOLEAN SQL type. Also ''=NULL. </bitch>

I see, that wasn't how I interpreted what you originally wrote but yes, fewer people with degrees but seemingly better outcome.

Yes but they also generally don't offer bullshit degrees that people obtain and then end up working at McDonalds. Germany, Switzerland, Belgium all come to mind as countries with free or near-free education that while they don't g

The status quo was much more beneficial for each of these nations. They got to maintain a leading edge in their respective parts of the supply chain and China kept growing as a customer and buying more. Essentially what will happen now is C

That and it was attracting a ton of undesirables to the sub that don't even live in Melbourne. It's been immeasurably better since that rule was introduced. There is plenty of other places for that sort of thing already.

I think if you open up a Tesla infotainment system you would find something eerily similar to containers. Remember that what you and most programmers think of containers is merely one possible assembly of a bunch of kernel features. There e

Tyan (which was the ODM for the Intel boxes) and Quanta are generally speaking in the same ballpark. Though you miss out on the extra QC that Intel or a Dell DCS would do for you if you order direct.

Remember that Greens parties all around the world got their start by protesting against nuclear. Even though it's a completely idiotic position to hold today it's a legacy of a time where it was thought to be more dangerous than c

Yeah will be good to not need R2DBC or the Rx APIs etc.

Yeah I think Oracle doesn't get the credit they deserve for OSS-ing stuff like the Java Flight Recorder. Of course their continued work on the big JVM features and GraalVM are huge for the community too.

In my experience the zero to something stage lasts way longer than people think and the cost of using immature and badly suited stacks like Typescript/etc bites way sooner than people think. They just keep pushing through it and tellin

Chinese don't compromise on safety. Their Gen 4 reactor designs are probably some of the safest to be built. They actually bought said design from Germany when they abandoned their nuclear aspirations. Instead it mostly comes down to:

It is! Just not in Western countries sadly. China is building a ton of nuclear at very good prices.

Probably, but this is Australia we are talking about. It's a literal boomer welfare state. Ok maybe a little bit of hyperbole but not that far off the mark, fiscal policy in Australia is dominated by preferential treatment for the boom

All I am seeing is a ton of reasons to build an absolute boat load of cheap nuclear power. None of these processes are even remotely possible without abundant essentially free energy.

It's interesting sure but generally speaking if that comes into play you are already getting nothing. Use the time and patience of the CEO wisely IMO, ask the most important questions and focus on the risk/reward of the optimistic

The full cap table probably not. But you generally don't need that to ascertain the most important parts of startup compensation. I generally ask these questions: 1. What was the pre/post money valuation of the company at the last

China doesn't support aggression in Ukraine and have made that much clear. They also don't support poking a fucking insane leader of a nation with nukes that shares a massive land border with them and which they are heavily relian

IMO China has very clear doctrine that should make it very easy to avoid war with them. Taiwan is part of "One China". Violate that, expect war. China isn't really an aggressor otherwise. Little border skirmishes with India b

US will need to be the ones to start said war. China is forming the BRICS coalition which will see them completely sated in terms of energy and raw material needs for the foreseeable future. They have no need or desire for war, their econom
