It's easy to learn new languages, hard/slow to learn the ecosystem... We should get better at creating mixed-ecosystems and cross-language libraries... the JVM was a step in the right direction but most new development complete

It is connected... until the project start, eg. in the broad general planning phase, when you press "start" it gets disconnected and stays that way until you ship a usable (±new) version. Once the wheels are in motion you can on

interesting... so `inline class` would behave like `struct` in C#? Took them a while (and I'd imagine it's one reason why game engines like Unity, Godot etc. chose C#), but cool!

...this is what Java gets instead of smth actually useful like structs/records/dataclasses with pass-by-value semantics ?

Why the heck would anyone try to implement differentiable programming in a language with no meta-programming features whatsoever?! It's like trying to put a car into orbit or smth...

yeah, but sometimes you want to execute snippet 12 4 times then using a variable derived from that go back to snippet 8 etc. notebooks are about non-linear execution sure, there's enough rope to hang the whole neighborhood in that, you

I'm a software engineer and I disagree: I very often use jupyter to "pop open a shell intro a production service and start interactively debugging stuff live" (over an ssh tunnel, no public open ports and other security consi

This is genius. Better to have an artificial failure inducing system that have rare but catastrophic natural failures. This really should be implemented!

OK. Sorry for misunderstanding London's situation. But in other places similar measures are applied while some business will continue to go on as usual.

Why tf would they diminish staff levels NOW?! Train conductors are practically isolated from the passengers and quite safe. They should increase their staff levels in these times!

by nnq 7y ago
Please don't fuel this bad reasoning - decreasing the number of trains or lowering their speed is a dangerous measure that will increase transmission! It's the same brand of broken-mindedness that brought us the "only sick

It's the opposite of the right response!

Then have more drivers and pay them a bit extra. Train drivers are mostly isolated in their cabins and not exposed to the people much anyway.

WOW. There is a sane country in Europe! Everyone else seems to either have swallowed their retard-pills, or they want to save costs and use this defective rationalization instead.
