It really depends on the kind of war being fought. If the cheap solution involves having troops only a dozen miles away from the enemy, then you're going to take casualties, and funeral costs are FAR more expensive then…
An MQ-9 has roughly the same wingspan as an A-10 - they're not small birds. An MQ-9 needs to have a good sensor ball, ideally with both color and IR, gps jamming resistance, weapons integration with multiple types of…
Honestly software that gets a bunch of updates often gets more brittle and problematic over time, like how a person accumulates illnesses over time. Though I guess a software project or software team usually does get…
True - the biggest thing I want to catch in an MR is "will this change lead us onto a part thatnl is uglier, buggier, less maintenanable". People will generally copy and follow existing patterns, so for example if you…
Seems like housing again: > Rents have surged in recent years, driven by tourism, foreign investment and a shortage of affordable housing. The cost of housing now consumes one of the largest shares of disposable income…
Yeah, it's a bit of an awkward article. Just compare the paragraph headers to the paragraph contents - "Why a hex grid" and then the paragraph doesn't talk about hex grids. AI stylisms are not necessarily bad - short,…
Yeah my take is they wanted a language more resilient to slop-cannon code. Last I looked they had 900kLOC of Rust just after the Rust PR - I have no doubt there's a lot of garbage in those LOC, and Rust gives more…
>There is no meaningful way of distinguishing features from bugs. From a user perspective, a bug is when behavior deviates from reasonable expected behavior. From a dev perspective, a bug is when the code actions…
A common combo for this is (was?) C and Lua. Lua is intended to be a embedded language, so good for Interop, but also also high level and easy to use. There's a reason why Factorio uses Lua as it's scripting level…
Yeah, I think one issue is that AI fundamentally dgaf about you and your code base. They don't have a salary on the line, and from their perspective it's not some project they super care about. I think they're happy to…
Hah, I was just thinking that Python likely has a vast ocean of training data, but it's likely of lower quality, being much of it is written by beginners and those who aren't primarily programmers.
Apparently there have been IRGC and basij curfew patrols shooting at buildings / windows of people who sing or shout anti regime songs and slogans. Apparently they are also (at least in some cases) dressing as women to…
Yes I had the same thought. Imo brutalism is monolithic and unyielding. This is opposite, with the sturdy concrete yielding into plant overgrowth and exposed rebar.
> When it was carried out the invading force was defeated by unexpected resources and resourcefulness from the Iranian side, not entirely unlike what Iran has done during our invasion. Are you saying that Iran is…
If a scientist is doing more work to secure grants than doing science (my understanding is that this is very common), trying to justify their own existence, then I wouldn't be surprised that results get skewed towards…
I was bored and tried playing FF14 about a year ago. You need to do the usual download a launcher to download the game, fine. It asks you to log in before it'll download, fine. It crashes ~10% of the way through…
What's the subset of games that A) can be played offline, and B) aren't already single player with no microtransactions? Free mobile games paid by ads?
Tldr: Poland shot down Russian drones that entered polish airspace. Not the first time they've entered, but first time they've been shot down by Poland. I wouldn't be surprised if it is deliberate by Russia. Gray zone…
I really like the phone/desktop convergence concept. Mostly I think because I want the freedom / open experience of my desktop on my phone though, I think. But I think most folks interested enough in the concept are…
Lack of types is one thing that turned me away from Elixir when I was trying to learn it. I didn't know how to think about the types so I wanted some way to annotate them to help think through it, but went through it.…
I use my USB-C port to listen to my wired headphones all the time, no problem. Phone jack is now redundant now that USB-C can output audio
By that logic a one party system is the most superior system, since by definition everyone is on the same page. We got Trump in part because people felt unable to fully express their opinion - they felt it was either…
Ehh the issue is features tacked on w/out regards to existing ones. Lotta apps like that end up with multiple ways to do the exact same thing but with very slightly different use cases
There was a study investigating people's preferences for living type ... I don't remember whether it was 40/60 or 60/40, but the preference for SFH or for apartments is not universal. Honestly it's weird that people…
Good point actually - when teaching absolute newbs, I found they'd often confuse the point of a while with a for with an if block. GOTO is super unambiguous and probably a better introduction to program control flow…
