Yakutsk sounds similar to where I live now. Mind ... a lot of the Canadian prairies are "empty" (not really, lots of farms... but not a lot of cities that aren't close to the US border). Similar weather at least.

clang and ECL both seem interesting, as long as LGPL license is ok. They both are complex to embed though - neither are well tuned to be embedded in other applications. (I've been exploring on MacOS). Julia could be interesting too

No viral license in Python, very easy to link to libraries with python. not sure which means more, but the second is definitely critical.

hunting dangling references in a reference counted system is like that.... that's all I can guess is going on here. Good hunting! I wonder if there's a resource debugger? So far when I have really had to look, xcode was suffii

I hope Canada moves more to EVs too. Right now they're luxury priced ... ... I work in the EV industry. (school busses though)

Siberia is a FAR better comparison than China. Among many other reasons, most of the prairies are similarly arid, and temperatures are definitely similar. Similar range of climates too (Siberia's got people a lot more spread out tho

Norway is a LOT warmer than prairie Canada. You want an equivalent, go maybe 600km north. heh. (not entirely a joke. Mind as far as I can tell, typical North Pole weather is also warmer than Saskatchewan winters, so ... weather is we

eh, 30cm of broken ragged ice, a light layer of snow over top ... that's a Saskatoon Saskatchewan winter road. so a LOT worse. heck the car does not handle it very well. the wind makes it worse for clothing too, mind I have driven a j

I am in the prairies of Canada: 1) -20c weather or colder - not really 2) no, see previous. Bikes don't handle snow. 3) no, see previous. 4) no, unsafe. (this is a me problem. Until people stop smoking on or near public transit, it

I look forward to crypto libraries not openssl that can provide support for ED25519 and ED448, as well as a wide range of EC keys. These are requirements for my current work, and OpenSSL 3+ was the only crypto library that delivered.

Don't forget large scale purchasers using property for tax evasion, money laundering or other such uses. They largely don't even care if the property is maintained. (eventually properties collapse, but if they keep the values inf

Wow only 70%. I so far have had to drop and rewrite from scratch every time. Mind, I work in C/embedded spaces, and current LLMs are just horrible at any code in that space. My vote is with (2).

Happy New Year from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada!

One of the interesting things in the ISO 15118-2 (and ISO 15118-20) protocols for EV charging, is that they include a check for "is your contract certificate expiring soon?". So yeah, certificate timelines can be monitored, comple

I can summon up a voice if needed, but yeah normally not thinking in words. Aphantasia means I don't think in pictures either ;) What I think mostly is in patterns and connections, and flows.

Honestly, rust is slightly more readable than obfuscated perl. I think I prefer K&R C, and I don't like K&R C. In terms of readability, maybe equivalent to early Win32 API? [3000 lines to set up API, then call to activate]

"sort of". C++ is a lot more stable ABI these days, but linking still means looking into name mangling and data types. At least it no longer seems to be changing between compiler patches, as with - say - earlier GCC. (gcc 2 th

Lisp - historically - did not work well with others. Did not share spaces, did not coexist with other systems particularly well. Or if it did, it would wrap them very carefully in "unsafe" and keep as much to the boundaries as p

yeah, except Qualcomm's source and hardware is much higher quality ;) (I used to work with a lot of it at a past job).

when rust passes MISRA (or has its own MISRA rules), that may change. Call that a nice goal. (I similarly have yet to see a single convincing argument to try to fight past the awkward, verbose and frustrating language that is rust).

I've worked with Japanese and German code. It is definitely unfamiliar and gets me thinking a lot more about how I approach code. I'm liking your description as I keep wanting to map "english" to "technical, cor

that's pretty accurate ;) I used to live in Vancouver too and ... some of that culture's like that. Most is good 'ol "people in suits" though. A long time ago, Vancouver was a center of gold mining scamming too.

I don't know, I get flashbacks to Windows 3 and early MacOS on the "new" display design. Amazingly, it looks a lot like the effect of rendering a black and white icon on an LCD display, such as with an early powerbook.

My ADHD meds (mostly) cured my sleep apnea. The remainder has to do with allergies.

And from experience, customer requests will not only be pushy and aggressive, but often at odds with company policy and directions. If they have a direct way to contact, one may end up not being able to do one's job due to the interru

That is far from my only concern. But it's good to see Rust is finally paying attention to binary sizes. And the overwhelming complexity of rust code is definitely not a gain when one is working in embedded spaces anyway. I am howe
