Most Ruby code I've worked with does not follow SOLID principles. Especially the Liskov substitution principle is almost never adhered to when using inheritance as a way of code sharing.

The inevitable move to support concurrency via Fibers will be a forcing function for this. With the state of the ecosystem I don't know if all the libraries in your transitive dependency hierarchy will ever get rid of their globals tho

Sorry for the contrived example. My whole point was that you have to use the debugger in order to read code. I'm not unwilling to do it, it's just extremely unproductive vs reading code that's understandable without having to

The 140k children who lost a parent or caregiver to COVID [1] would probably disagree with your statement. Losing your parents is also not great for emotional wellbeing or development. [1] https://www.nih.gov/news-events&#x2

I hate Ruby with a passion (it's also the language I mostly use in my day job currently). It's not necessarily the language itself, which is a reasonable language, it's the patterns that are common in the ecosystem: 1. Use of

There are lots of libraries that need to compile on a variety of platforms (ie different versions of LLVM for Android and MacOS, MSVC for Windows and GCC for some embedded targets not well supported by LLVM).

C++ is complicated, I get it. Things that are "easy" in other languages are "hard" in C++. That doesn't mean that writing C++ code that can't throw isn't something that tens of thousands of engineers are

Two phase construction isn't widely disliked, it's completely fine if it's used as an implementation detail of a factory.

Easy as in "competent C++ programmers do this every day"? If the copy constructor can fail and you don't want that, then delete it?

by jupp0r 3y ago
The constructor error problem is easily solved by using factory functions and two phase construction. The problem is that the standard library is relying on exceptions quite a bit and major parts become unusable.

Sorry I don't get it. Heavy EVs pollute less than compact ICE vehicles. This is about the weight (and maybe price?) of cars, not about pollution. Maybe it's about cultural hatred of SUVs?

by jupp0r 3y ago
What does the size of the car have to do with pollution? My point was that EVs (even 2 ton EVs) cause much less pollution than even very compact ICE cars. If the parking fees are about the size of cars, then they should be taxed by volume o

Which is less than cars without regenerative braking, which produce particles from brake pad and rotor wear on top of similar tire wear.

by jupp0r 3y ago
Why is it a huge problem? A 2 ton Model Y produces much less pollution than an ICE compact car. My feeling is that you don't like certain cars and don't care about pollution at all.
316.
by jupp0r 3y ago
Care to elaborate why you ignore the fact that electric cars (even heavy ones) produce much less overall particulate pollution than combustion engine cars and why you focus instead on a narrow category where they are worse? My point still s
317.
by jupp0r 3y ago
Electric cars do most their braking using regenerative braking which produces zero particles.
318.
by jupp0r 3y ago
But electric cars lack all tailpipe emissions. 2 tons is just slightly heavier than a Tesla Model Y, a compact SUV barely large enough for a family of 4 (you don't want to be the person sitting between the child seats in the back, trus

"The prices will apply to vehicles weighing more than 1.6 tonnes with a combustion engine or hybrid vehicles, and more than 2 tonnes for electric vehicles." So much for the air pollution part.

There are probably some people who find the article interesting and well written or who upvote based solely on the headline without reading it.

by jupp0r 3y ago
Because you can't downvote submissions, you can only go in and write a negative comment. Makes complete sense to me to see the effects of that with this article.

My point was that both are finishing several plants per year, with reasonable cost ($3k per kW compared to $8-12k per kW in the US) and within reasonable time frames of 5-10 years of construction. This is competitive with renewables if you

The argument that national average bandwidth for Starlink is probably worse than for those rural communities is a solid one. Not sure if it makes up for the large gap, but in my opinion Starlink is well suited because it works better the le

Not all software that is frequently updated is a web app. Ask Tesla, Apple, Sonos, Garmin, ... Anything connected to a network could be released frequently if people wanted to. Not everything is connected to a network though.
