If you're finding bugs in production that a compiler or typechecker could have found then there's something seriously wrong with your test suite. That's how Rails works, if you don't have 90%+ statement coverage it will

Not dubious claims, misleading claims. ITER is designed with the goal of achieving Qplasma=10, which is energy break-even, but not electricity break-even, which as Sabine points out is at around Qplasma=20 (for ITER specifically, had it bee

They bought a drone company that had built a single drone that was better than all competing drones in the market, and then they stopped it. No more support, no more new development, no more production. So senseless.

Yes.. but you couldn't grow ZFS. I don't understand what your point is.

by tinco 5y ago
edit: sorry, cheap shot at Facebook. I have no idea why BTRFS edge cases are not being fixed. What I do know is that ZFS recently released a feature specifically for the hobbyist/frugal community. The feature allows you to grow an exis

To be honest Rust has some of the most beautifully painted bikesheds I've seen.

Why? There's no private information being shared right?

Thanks for sharing your experience! What is the advantage of using single pair ethernet in for example cars? My company owns a largish drone and it has a regular CAT5 network so surely it can't be weight or size.

I'm basing this basically on the size of the experimental reactors currently being developed like sparc and the ST40. No doubt building larger plants is going to be more efficient, but if the fusion reactors themselves are going to be

by tinco 5y ago
I think you're underestimating how small fusion reactors are. We're going to be needing not just fusion reactors per city, but per city block. If we manage to get them to break-even, they're going to be super plentiful. At le

You mean fundamentally expensive like building billions of nano meter scale devices, aligning and wiring 24 million of them to be individually addressable on a 6 inch plane? Oh and we build those by the thousands on factory lines. That&#x27

Doesn't deep geothermal generally require fracking? At least the geothermal plants that I've seen being implemented right now do. Is there any fancy new tech breaking through there currently? I think both fusion and geothermal are

No problem! I try to spread the word whenever I can.

I agree, not sure why you are down voted because you make valid points. I can't think of any big public disastrous rewrites except for maybe frontend ones like Digg or enterprise modernizations for example when the government wanted t

I trust you so much more than I would ever trust Bill O'Reilly.

Well you're not asking me but this is a forum so off I go anyways. This can only be done with serious investment, so you need to ask your management if they are serious about the long term future of your product. If they are there&#x27

Ah, I think I wouldn't qualify those as YAGNI decisions, more in the premature optimisation direction. YAGNI is preparing for future integrations that might never happen, or preparing for supporting multiple databases, special users, s

It annoys me so much that after honing my skill as an engineer for 15 years now I still fall into the trap of not enough YAGNI thinking. There's a precarious middle ground there for sure. Even though I still fall into the trap of over

If that's true then why wouldn't Spotify say so? It's not a good look for them that they're just gone.

There's a big difference between "I'm a comedian, I'm just poking fun at the truth" and "I'm a moron, I can't reliably interpret truth from fiction".

This is madness. There's no real advice about rewrites in this article. The reality of rewrites is that they often fail, cost a ridiculous amount of time and effort, don't actually fix the original problem and/or bankrupt the

Oh, in that case I'm wrong in my opinion.

It's not MBA mentality, it's stock investors mentality. I don't think Zuckerberg or any other executive is out there buying FB shares at $320. It's outsiders gambling on the continued growth.

The article didn't actually have any new information, as far as I'm aware no one knows what he has done since he went quiet.

Oh no way.. we danced so much to that song. Thanks for teaching me that even though it makes me sad. I would totally randomly put it on to liven up a party.

Maybe I'm overly optimistic but it's such a low amount that maybe NYT doesn't really need to recuperate much. Just attaching their brand to it and posting a message on it every month or two is already worth it for them.

No, a burned down house can be rebuilt and burning down a house actually increases entropy in the universe. It is a clear destruction of value. Burning Ethereum irreplaceably removes it from the pool. Ethereum is not inherently valuable, th

Yes. Also this is not the first person to make this mistake. One redditor pointed out the person has done the largest such transaction to this contract, representing 45% of the total amount burned.
