Python was never supposed to be a language for anything more complex than basic scripting and prototyping. Use proper languages with static typing (and better speed) for anything serious. And no, JavaScript isn't a good language either

I also recommend to think about something like Nigma[1] (Russian metasearch engine) had done before, something along the lines of Wolfram Alpha - mathematics, physics, chemistry. It's possible to integrate with something like Sage Math

On the one hand, I am glad it finally got the proper funding. On the other hand, I would prefer more effort going into more modern implementations [1] or protocols[2][3]. [1] https://sequoia-pgp.org/ [2] https://

Mars offers no protection and not exactly rich on resources. I think, Venus sky cities[1] have bigger potential. There is a drove of resources plus free energy from Sun. [1] https://bigthink.com/hard-science/how-to-colo

Well, winters are cold, indeed. Normally between -20C and -30C. I wouldn't call that brutal, though. With central heating it's not a big deal, in my opinion. Lawless driving? For sure not true. Organized crime? I don't think

Tokyo is quite diverse, you can see this even as a tourist.

Moscow is 24/7 city as well. Shanghai is promoting nightlife economy on the city level. Both are insanely pedestrian-friendly with one of the best public transportation infrastructure in the world.

I hope they will get enough money to hire someone full-time. That would be really awesome. I am proud sponsor of it myself.

I wonder why Spain has such a low adoption rate (3.46%) compared to its neighbors. Same with Italy.

And don't use shell for writing complex scripts, there are better automation tools and languages.

On the other hand, the failure is generally frowned upon and avoided at all costs.

It makes sense since such people have more diverse experience and more adaptive, agile. They could bring new perspective to the team. I would say balanced approach is better - part of long tenure applicants and part of the hopping ones.

It's probably HR that can be completely automated by the AI and scripts, also I bet it would be much more efficient and even cost- efficient.

We could bioengineer ticks and termites to sterilize their population, or make diseases for them, like we done to the mosquitoes[1]. [1] https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01186-6

All these articles suggest "if we don't stop", "if carbon emissions will not be reduced", they aren't realistic. Knowing people, I doubt it will be done enough in the right time. The only right strategy is to s

Move to Russia with its low tax of 13% (could go as low as 7.5% if you establish a company and enjoy some additional benefits) and work remotely. Or any other country with low taxes and low cost of living.

I wouldn't draw off the possibility completely, likely to some new technology or algorithms, or better results of understanding the human brain. But the chances are indeed miniscule.

See also this[1] ussue to track the progress. There are problems even with XWayland, e.g. on HiDPI setups. There's a work-in-progress solution [2]. If you are willing to patch the software and build from sources it will help. [1] http

It's indeed not a problem if the Wayland sessions wouldn't become the default in mainstream distributions and these pesky HiDPI displays didn't become more affordable and popular among users. Don't get me wrong, the blam

Well, they proved it, time for it to be dropped, and focus on the production-level implementation. But it's still[1] the recommended one. [1] https://matrix.org/docs/guides/introduction#how-can-i-get-my...

Official server should have never been in Python anyway. Not a proper language for the network server. They should have adopted Go or Rust servers as the official ones, and pour resources there instead.

I never said "Wayland is bad". Some cases aren't handled properly before making it mainstream in Linux distributions. It should have been done before, not after.

To be honest, it's not very important to me - I need this particular case on the one machine where I use JetBrains IDE. On this machine I just switched to the Xorg. Everywhere else, I am quite happy with the pure Wayland as is, kudos t

I know, those were two separate categories. Regarding the Wayfield project, citing them: > It is very unlikely that distros will be ready to ship all the pieces we need in the next 12 months. So the "short term" goal may actual

Useful approach, given the troves of applications that cannot be ported to the native Wayland in years to come - all GTK2 apps, e.g. GIMP, all Java apps, and so on... Regarding HiDPI and XWayland, there is work-in-progress PR[1] that so far

Despite my dissatisfaction with Apple policies and way of doing things, they offer native, fast, smooth and not battery-draining experience for the users, because of no Java and Electron crap in most of the apps, unlike Android.
