I would be very curious to see a breakdown of average age per rank. I think a lot of us have been looking up the ranks for years seeing very little mobility, and all of the sudden there has been a shift up. I’ve been effectively managing r&

If you like to tinker with network devices heavy recommendation. If you want something plug and play, I’d look elsewhere.

I’m willing to buy that abstractions reduce complexity, but to do that they can’t be leaky abstractions. They should “just work”, and it should be easy to choose among them. If you need to consider what’s underneath, how is that a reduction

Yes, have you used any of their devices? They’re amazing in what they let you do, but their UI is a wall of settings. Doing something as simple as adding an access point will take you a full day if you aren’t familiar with it.

> There are plenty of good, less complex languages than C++ out there […] But C is non of them. To this day I cannot understand how anybody can claim that. C++ is so ridiculously complex that it’s not a superset of C mostly because of ad

> You do realise that we had right to repair in the 80's? No we didn’t. In the 80s a lot of stuff was simply easier to repair, in part because you had less stuff to begin with. You’re still free to repair whatever you want, but of c

I have to say, I’m still very divided about right to repair. I think it’s hard to keep a consistent world view where right to repair is a thing, and at the same time anything but open source is outright illegal.

One of the common complaints is the lack of accounting for the harm done by delaying a device/therapy/drug. If $DISEASE kills 10k people/year, and $DEVICE can save 90% of them but 5% suffer $DEVICE related deaths, delaying th

You are assuming that the existence of regulations means that there’s testing required. You’d be surprised at how much is just about filling the proper paperwork, paying some fees and knowing the right people. The amount of independent test

I’ve being doing this for about a year now (part time, while keeping my job), so take my advice with a grain of salt. I also work in electronics, which is in a very weird place right now, and I’m a bit concerned that I might be taking some

Why not? VAT is typically charged to customers and then compensated with the VAT you pay if you as a freelancer have expenses. For instance in Spain I have to increase my clients invoices by 21%, but if those invoices are for software, you

Not really, here school ends up at a given date (it’s generally around the 20th of June). It doesn’t matter if it’s Tuesday, and most parents will be still working until August.

You’re assuming that all schools are the same, they’re certainly not. Yes, kids that already live in the city won’t obviously get taken to school by car, but most good schools in the periphery better have a way to handle the cars.

To be fair, the average teacher in most countries is quite bad . Like it or not, schooling was originally designed as a daycare that teaches conformity and compliance. The idea that we can change that by improving things at the margins is

My 7700K (2017) got a similar downgrade in performance from the mitigations. Switched to AMD for the first time in my life, no regrets so far.

Those joysticks do have switches at the ends (that click) though… I don’t know, it’s a very philosophical question

by xondono 5y ago
No it’s not, there’s another video explaining, the keys are “2d joysticks” type switches, so typing doesn’t involve removing the fingers at all. I would think it takes a lot of time to get used, but seems like a smart approach for speed.

There’s web vnc clients, so technically this shouldn’t be much problem. It’s much more a wrap it all together kind of thing. I really prefer it being it local though.
