So switch like statements and branched execution are the enemy of caches and especially in the light of recent CPU predictive execution vulnerabilities I guess that is not an ideal syntax. What’s a better way to guide the programs flow base

Things changed very quickly. I was writing a warehouse management app around 2000 and my first version was in Delphi. The sql components did require additional install and libraries. But v2 was in PHP and served over the Internet as that c

We’re screwed until covid becomes endemic like flu is now, where vaccines are optional. Brazil just accelerates the process.

wow, it was so much better before. What the heck? Who made the decision to switch?

while I agree that this is common in Europe, if the company ceases to exist, what good is the 3 months notice for the employee? If he/she has any options, I'd leave asap and not worry about amicable terms with a soon to be non-exi

has anyone figured out who the company is by now? Surely there must be some reports of the outage by now?

If you have some umm other useful tips for that 100% uptime let the rest of the world know. I am more happy with realistic and upfront statements from B2 than some wishful thinking from potential users.

Just focus on the content - NFTs are a scam - putting a pointer to something on a blockchain doesn't not add value and burns a lot of fossil fuels in the process of proving that 1=1.

I had a job once where we eventually determined that frictionless commerce is not a good goal. With no rules, taxes, fees etc no money can be extracted at various points of the supply chain. You want just the right amount of friction to ke

Yeah, I think the problem the OP overlooked is that most of the cycle time was taken by various internal company processes and these are really not novel every time therefore it takes a similar amount of time to deliver different features.

Not solving it unless you solve the other problems such as where the energy comes from how do you deal with waste where do you get the water from.

Surely it is easier and cheaper to make the land arable or a greenhouse or whatever than equivalent vertical farm + solar. KISS

This is a natural consequence of releasing an open source project. It’s the equivalent of leaving a car open with a key, documents and an invitation to drive it for free.

perhaps you're looking at US? Generally I see a trend of people moving back to the countryside as remote work is by default now. London, UK is pretty empty too - all the restaurants and offices closed - means all the food that used to

This is an interesting perspective. Our current monitoring system charges by the amount of data ingested / stored so there is a perverse incentive to observe less men if we have detailed debug level logs available.

"By the year 2025, 63% of the world’s population will be living in cities" I wonder if Covid will revise those trends. Where I live (rural), there's plenty of unused land that needs a lot let contortions to farm (cheaper) but

Can anyone recommend a database that already works on the M1 chips?

I signed up to test this and they are already out of capacity. I hope they can keep ordering more quickly...

Looks like the brother just does the merges? (which are mostly automatic) so IMO best it matters because it's still mostly a one man, or at least a one family operation - i.e not very resilient to random acts of nature (which backups a

I hope it’s not off topic but it seems to show that one person businesses are probably not the way to go for most people- you will have a much more predictable income in a larger organisation and on average you will be better off financiall

I ended up getting a KVM in the middle - it’s more cables but I have a 144Hz gsync screen and I can easily swap kB+m+screen with a dedicated, hardware button

when you think it through, it's simply better to keep heat/electricity usage to a minimum, and just keep stuff better insulated overall. And I would say this area of problems is still being worked on, but you know physics gets in

FWIW, I got hit by cars a lot in my cyberpunk playthrough. Fits the dystopian narrative I guess, but even in a dystopia people worry about scratching their car or an insurance nightmare so not too realistic experience. Other than the game

I've played around with JAMstack - I've used Gatsby + Netlify to host/deploy a static site generator. It works surprisingly well and has lot of JS based feature you wouldn't expect from a 'static' site like for
