Chicken protein is not as cheap when farmed sustainably and even if farmed sustainably it is rife with problems and risks. Where I live "ethical" (less densely farmed) chicken is 12 euro/kg and "organic" (sustainabl

There's a sort of butterfly effect because it's not only trying to complete the text, it's continuously trying to complete its own answer. This makes it that the first word it comes up with can already start a vastly differen

No way, I just googled trumpet and trombone, and those are different instruments. Electric guitar and classical guitar are just different flavors of the same instrument. Most guitarists play both, if they've ever touched a classical gu

Thank you for making JavaScript a somewhat palatable language. Countless millions of us have to write JavaScript to accomplish the daily drudgery and it's in part to your contributions and impeccable sense of style that it's at le

Good thing that no one was claiming it is difficult to learn. Those precedence rules are very fancy indeed.

glacials made a typo that makes their explanation harder to folow. The correct smalltalk is: 3 factorial + 4 factorial between: 10 and: 100 And the point about it reading like English is that because the syntax relies heavily on th

It's sort of mindblowing that there's adults now that have never talked to someone who was in their 20s during WW2. It makes it something akin to ancient history. Even though I'm "only" 35, WW2 never felt like somet

I've hired from bootcamps multiple times, it's a great source of junior developers. It is however a show of the absolute minimum amount of skill a person could possibly have before you take them on as a developer. If this person s

Definitely agree, though in Amsterdam they only bought rental units, no SFH, I don't know what their global strategy is in that regard. I'm not sure if there's a clear business case for buying single family homes and turning

$1B is absolutely peanuts, if they spend this yearly on acquiring real estate it will be a hundred years until they could be considered a mega landlord like for example Blackstone with its $550B worth of residential rental properties. They

It can get much, much worse. We had a customer that set a net-60, it was the first time we landed an "enterprise" type deal and we sort of missed the net-60 part of the contract (I know, lol). So after 2 weeks we called the custom

I think they are, just not a future that's anywhere near. When energy becomes abundant, through nuclear or geothermal, then going vertical farming is going to be excellent for rewilding and enhancing yields. Investing $600M right now t

Same, but hearing stories from other parents makes me believe we are just very lucky that our baby is responsive to this empathic approach. Also white noise app cuts down on the whinyness before sleeping tremendously.

In The Netherlands the national advice is 9 to 12 months before separate rooms based on some SIDS statistic.

Yes. Except unless of course you're not certain if the buffer you have your secret in was copied at some point. Maybe by the text control you rendered it in.

Yeah, we played around with net send as well, I'm pretty sure you could also shut down other computers with either a net command, or with the shutdown command itself. We found a way to circumvent the way they prevented third party apps

I don't see the advantage of Zigbee for local control. Implementing local control over wifi is just as easy and can even work without a hub. I'm designing a custom automation system for the ventilation in my house and I failed to

Yeah that's got it reversed. Vim is overkill for editing configuration files. You see people use vim for configuration files because it's there and they already know how to use it. If you really want to ease into it then simply en

I don't agree that was enough of a reason to drop them. An attacker getting access to your dev environment, even if you're one of the largest security focus endeavours, is pretty much an inevitability. Someone's gonna get acc

It's like a novice programmer blaming the compiler for a bug in their application. It's very unlikely to be true. What would you have the people who are using LastPass do, stop using it? Because some crypto dude stored their hig

Would it have been less work? I wouldn't be so sure, given that the author was actually successful.

Is it nothing? I agree it's easy, but why do it if you don't need to. Besides it being "nothing" compared to all the rest of the code in the compiler it's also the least interesting part of it, unless you're tr

I wonder if Rust started out hand written, or that they switched to it after they had gotten all the mechanisms they wanted in. There might be a point where you're no longer fiddling a lot with your parsing strategy and basic grammar,

by tinco 4y ago
It's a long time ago but I'm pretty sure we had similar assignments at utwente. I'm not so sure it's such a must know thing though. Lexers are fairly trivial to write by hand, and parsers are just annoying without code g

Same, it pretty much worked without a fuss, we did a cool proof of concept demo where we used it to auto target a gimbal on a drone using an nvidia jetson running ubuntu. We got the entire software stack working together within a day or so,

Did you not read the article? Stop pulling the 15 year number out of your ass. It's plainly possible to build nuclear power plants in under 4 years. Solar and wind are outstripping nuclear in growth because their contribution is laugha

Carmack is an absolute genius and it would be madness to disregard anything he's spent any significant amount of time thinking about. But let's be real, he isn't Tim Sweeny or Gabe Newell. As smart he is, I don't think h

Nice, that's a cool scenario I hadn't thought of. I haven't heard of any deep sea wind generators, but obviously that might have great yields. I wonder if that far out at sea it wouldn't be easier/more feasible to h
