I don't run it right now (and won't anytime soon) as a desktop. Once I switched to using laptops exclusively, the driver story became too bad to work comfortably. But, I used FreeBSD on a desktop for 5 years, from 2005 to 2010. I

In practice, this is hard. The problem is that you need to either have all the functionality you use written in Haxe - which is rarely if ever possible - or you have externs to equivalent libraries on all platforms . The libraries produced

Not if the literal interpretation is the intended one. But yeah, I could have been much less polite.

Agreed with both you and GP. The denial is a normal emotional response. It's not strange to cling to your decades of professional experience and skillset. It's just that, now really is not the time for emotional responses. It&#x

Oh, interesting. Isn't it only off from farming? I thought that's where making roads and dying in wars came in. But it's also true they had to have at least some free time to mate.

Yeah, that free time that didn't exist: > Serfs in medieval Europe had very little free time. They were required to work long hours, usually from sunrise to sunset, and often had to work on Sundays and other holy days as well. Their

It's time for the "without violence" to, once again, become of no importance compared to "ill gotten" (plus, with ever expanding definition of "ill"). That's what tends to happen, historically. We&#x2

No violence? Maybe no deaths, but when you do something shady so that a company loses its contracts and is forced to fire swathes of employees, then that's a competition only if you're another company . If you're a nation st

Again, yes, it is easier to read. In binary, there are only two tokens you need to recognize. With hex it's 16. With binary, when you see 1101, you only need to recognize two distinct tokens. You can teach a toddler (or maybe even a pa

You've missed the GP point by so wide a margin you could have as well shot in the opposite direction. You're basically doing exactly what they asked you not to. People are different, work in different ways, are productive with dif

Not informing a European or Japanese of how this is a seriously unjust system you have in place - and not just a fucked up joke as it sounds (police? shooting at people? for not stopping the car?!? Haha, nice joke, man) - could definitely t

Maybe nobody cares, but visually identifying a token and comprehending its meaning are still distinct steps. What I'm trying to say is that visual identification - the thing that syntax is responsible for - is the easy part, and the la

Brainfuck is harder to read not because of the syntax, but because it describes very low level semantics. Actually, it's not even harder to read - it's harder to comprehend. You're conflating comprehensibility with readabilit

by klibertp 4y ago
There's no such thing as hard to read syntax[1]. There's only syntax you're unfamiliar with, or syntax that isn't supported by your editor yet. That's it. Don't project your reaction to unfamiliarity as a gener

And then you're finally fed up with all this and go full remote, if the company allows it. Congrats, now you lost access to 80% of what is going on and fell out of the loop for anything important, and you're now guaranteed to lose

Because when you try to manage dependencies with Gradle on Android you realize that it could be worse. Much, much, worse. These are the languages and package managers I have experience with: - JavaScript and npm - Python and pip/conda

That's true, and I'd lean on the "much worse" side. When you join a project that has very minimal tooling and almost no automation, you're facing a dilemma: should I focus on improving the tooling while delaying fea

Also very interested in this. From what I read, you need to train some other model in the "transformer" family yourself, or you can use OpenAI API for fine-tuning their model. Not sure which would be better in practice, or if eith

To add to the sibling commenter - in my experience FP is not about having as little state as possible. It's about explicitly representing and tracking all state. OOP hides all state in private properties, FP displays the state as f

Apparently, the "Japan bashing" was really a thing. That's interesting, I didn't know. I might have to read more about US propaganda and especially the effects of it, from the historic perspective. Any good books on that
