The Germans do have some neurpmorphic hardware. It might be smarter to invest in that to avoid having to build a lot of new power stations.

Every country needs a few plumbers and carpenters whether or not they are at the forefront of technology. Some money must be spent to give academics work to do so they can sharpen up their skills and perhaps teach the next set of students

Back to the time before photographs then - the 1800s. Crime scene photographs won't be evidence anymore. You photograph your flat (apartment) when you move in to prove that all the marks on the walls were already there and that won&#x2

Elaph and Protean are the well known in-wheel-motor producers now and some other companies have done in-house versions. That teardrop-shaped EV [Ed: Aptera] was going to use the Elaph ones but I think there was some issue with producing eno

I took over maintenance of a big untestable program in Python once (a build system). None of it was designed for testing and every change I made would trigger some bug. The cost of running the whole program was about an hour of building s

Tests are how one constrains dynamically typed programs to make sure they work as expected. I have found that adding tests to untyped python code is far better at exposing bugs than adding typing is. I like my IDE to do completion too but

I found a distro I love. I was a Fedora user but it just ended up being far too complicated with selinux. It is a miserable job to try to create RPM packages that work and also miserable to try to build anything out of git where the depende

To take LLVM as a convenient example ... why does it exist? Why didn't Apple pour its money into GCC? Why does nginx exist? They could simply have found that config bug in Apache that made Apache slower and we wouldn't have needed

Forks happen, I think, because someone doesn't agree with the direction or can't get accepted into the clique of people working on something. So if you tell them it's evil to fork you're saying, in effect, stop working.

Either software is free or it isn't. You can't have single-vision-central control and freedom. Android is an example of an effort that took something free and made a usable mobile operating system ontop of it - but lead straigh

How about continuing software support for the Edge TPU...which seems abandoned....? Is this going to be the same - i.e. supported for a short time then also apparently abandoned?

Excellent! People with money won't be able to use those platforms to buy votes.

For me the "criminal" thing is that Pypy exists on a shoestring and yet delivers the performance and multithreading that others gradually try to add to cpython. It's problem is, IMO, compatibility. Long ago I wanted to run it

Thank you for offering to look. I hesitate to supply the example because I have tried so many things and get so many different errors depending on what approach I try to take. I don't want to waste your time. What I'm doing now

My productivity level in C is medium. In rust I'm competely blocked because I want to create a global variable and absolutely none of the described ways in the docs or stackoverflow work for my example. Should I give up on this "b

I've written utility programs that never bother to deallocate memory because the program needs all of it until the point where it exits anyhow.

It's fair enough but if one isn't writing multi-threaded code or code with some complicated ownership scheme then that upfront investment may never really deliver a return.

I'm experiencing that shock now. Can't create a global instance of my self-made heap datastructure. I'm longing for C memory management at the moment - it seems a tiny price to pay. Now I learn that linked lists aren't p

Oh, you're so right about setting some default standards to prevent arguments! The most simple and easy one is to auto-format code. That kills so many ridiculous arguments. I wish all problems could solved that simply.

I do understand the feeling. IMO it could be a bit of ageism. I think it's worse when the company (or team) management strategy is to keep everyone feeling insecure and seeing each other as competitors and potential enemies. I also ag

I couldn't say emacs developers have poor taste but I could say its' not my taste. I don't have to disrespect them. People think in different ways and get used to different things. e.g. I might decide that some clothes,

I think taste is one of those things that we use to describe something that is a bit difficult to judge. Something might not be to my taste but it can be good and workable nonetheless. It has taken some decisions that lead to solving a p

It gets used whenever someone doesn't like something for a reason of personal taste and people who don't really know (like your boss) immediate fixate on it and think "well, we must do that then and why is the other guy (you)

I think it would be nice not to have to prove identity and address repeatedly with lots of paper utility bills. As for abuse by authority: well don't elect a populist party then. If you do it won't matter what defenses you think

One tends to love things that make life easy. If you spend all your time debugging memory errors or concurrency problems then rust might seem wonderful for saving you from those problems. I'm still learning it but it doesn't reall
