Not such a big deal in embedded, where the compiler and hardware is always the same, which means that the behavior is still predictable even if undefined

This deal is available to most countries. That's the whole Canada deal thingie. Tariffs are usually pretty low anyway in today's world, and not a huge burden. What's unique about the internal market is the absence of paperwor

Seconding Ireland. Also, out of habit I recommend The Netherlands + Scandinavia. Wealthy, competently run places. New Zealand is great, but 30 hours of travel to visit family is not super great.

Fair point about the batteries. Or, at least I have no grounded criticism. It's not a natural monopoly, though. It's not an OS. As for cars, there are way fewer manufacturers than you'd think. Check out the Volkswagen Group,

Honestly seems like absolute complete madness. Cars, batteries, and solar panels are all basically commodities. There is a certain value to a car brand, of course, but still. The only way this valuation makes any sort of sense is if Tesla m

I regard all distributed systems not written in a BEAM language with suspicion. Just seems a bit weird not to use a tech stack designed specifically for your problem. It's not everything, of course, but it's definitely a strike ag

Ran it in QEMU a long while ago. Back then it ran on a limited set if hardware, as well as on VMs, although I didn't manage to get that working (thus QEMU). Pretty ambitious. Already has small games and applications written for it. It&

To be fair, the defining trait of conservatives is that they think ideas don't expire all that quickly. It makes sense that they'd hold dead thinkers in higher regard than others would.

React (vanilla, Native, and Electron) is the one to beat here, not platform native toolkits. For a toolkit to be world class today it needs to be cross platform across web, Linux, Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Companies want to reduce dup

10x cheaper than Google (at least for geolocation). That's unexpected. GCP is usually cheaper than AWS.

Ear plugs and a sleeping mask is key. Neck rest recommended. Skip sleeping the night before boarding. Works for me anyway.

Is it still deflationary? Wondering if I should invest in the coin itself (which makes sense for deflationary coins) or a company doing something with it (which makes sense for an inflationary coin)

Most of Doodle's open engineering positions are in Berlin. Tresorit seems to be mostly based in Budapest. Honestly a lot of companies with Swiss HQs have the bare minimum presence required to benefit from the low taxes in Switzerland.

Took a look at Cloud Mercato reports for compute, and the tl;dr is that Hetzner is so much better value than anything else that it's not even funny. And if you have to use one of the big three, use GCP.

GC is a no-go, as it causes unacceptable frame-rate dips. The kind of people who buy 120Hz screens are unlikely to be impressed. Even Shenandoah etc. are very unlikely to fix that.

Has anyone tried the Scaleway Elements? Looks pretty feature-complete (hosted DB, Kubernetes, object storage). Just wondering if there's a reason it's not talked about, i.e. is it too good to be true?

Does OCaml have dependent types? I thought that was a Coq and Idris (and Haskell, to a lesser extent) thing. I am aware that dependent types exist, but quite frankly I've yet to see a popular/ergonomic language implement them. As

It has immutability, no null pointers, and error types. It has escape hatches available for everything, but unnecessary use of these should be caught in code review, so I don't think it's a big deal. Not sure what correctness feat

Esperanto deserves to die, honestly. Romance language speakers don't need another language in their family (and Esperanto is a romance language - I don't see any Germanic or Slavic in there). It's just not very useful. I actu
