There are people with cardboard signs, and there are BLM protests or occupy Wall Street. Can't remember when the last disruptive protests were in Switzerland, but in Germany I'd say tame protests are the norm and disruptions are a

Search has degraded for sure, but still better than anything else? Maps - I guess you mean Apple ones are better? Can't tell, I am not on Apple, but if you don't use Apple products, there are not many alternatives to Google maps

I think it was ruled that 1 star review without any words at all can be considered a defamation

In software I can imagine a worker-owned consultancy, but not a product company. It would imply staying in one place working on one product for your whole life, which doesn't sound inspiring

Technically true, but I don't think anyone tracks education levels of refugees.

I think the Swiss are not known to be particularly open-minded in Europe. They have ton of money though and the landscape is great

I believe people migrating to Switzerland are largely educated Europeans, so population density must be their biggest concern about migration

I think at least in Germany it's not true - among people coming to Germany there are more refugees of various kinds than professionals

I'm not a Brit, but I do enjoy British culture, including writing. I haven't been able to read any of Ed's rants to the end despite generally being on the cautious side towards LLMs

C, C++ and Rust are the only ones that stuck, but programming languages graveyard is full of C++ killers. Rust is around because it offered something new.

Well, alright, scalability + expensiveness create ideal conditions for monopolization. Assuming it's cheap now, scalability still doesn't go away. So it's a) cheap b) easily reusable, you make it once cheaply and quickly and

Software boom due to SMEs looks very unnatural to me, because what makes software so special is its ability to scale, so it naturally tends to monopolization

"Like unsafe Rust, but more convenient to use" is basically every imperative language around there, I still don't understand the specific niche that Zig intended to fill
74.

How is software engineering not a domain? If other domains can be easily learnt, sure this one can too
75.
by oytis 4mo ago
I don't understand the idea behind Zig. What I have read sounded like "let's make a language like Rust, but not memory-safe", which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Well, the abstract also says they were not feeling well because of that, I guess that's what matters
77.
by oytis 4mo ago
I mean, it's right there in the abstract. The study showed that people working remotely were more isolated outside of work too. Personally I enjoy working remotely and value time spent alone, but the data looks interesting

It's an option for those in their own houses, but would hardly help city dwellers. What we need good fiber optic coverage - there is some progress there, but at an inadequate pace.

I'd take guaranteed 100Mbps without outages over best effort 1Gpbs any time. Unfortunately, it's hard to get this service at reasonable consumer prices, at least in Germany

I don't get it, what is bad about what they are doing? People need a CDN, they choose the one they find the best.

How should using processes not used at home make something harmful? If we make the same processes commonly available to use at home, will these foods become less harmful? I know there is science around it, but the very concept looks very un

Logistics is logistics, the expeeience should be pretty transferrable, especially if no cold chain is involved. So good for them I guess?

Just by the headline: are they doing layoffs? UPD: surprisingly not

I mean, it's an engineering company, so that's expected

Rather, why do people still run agents as their own user. IMO, agent sessions should at least be containerised with just necessary code mounted.

by oytis 4mo ago
I'm not sure about tridge personally, but I've regularly seen real competent engineers introduce obvious hallucinations when using coding agents. Review fatigue is real, and you just cannot own the code you didn't write to th

Good thing is that in EU we still have a lot of people who know how to write software. Like, in programming languages.

Never understood why FPGA vendors do it. Do they desperately want to show software ARR to shareholders?

by oytis 5mo ago
You need to buy their hardware to use it. In fact there is no way to use most of their hardware without Vivado. So it's more like they are blocking you from using things you've already paid for

That's a reasonable requirement, but it clearly says the noise is for the driver, not pedestrians
