The endgame is to normalize punishing groups/individuals for any reason on a whim of the ones in charge. Start with minorities and people who can’t defend themselves, then later you can do easier to anyone who gets…
My next company‘s boss was pretty much Windows only (server and desktops/laptops, some Linux servers). Linux on the server was already replacing more and more machines. Now I am even allowed to use MacBooks or Linux…
Yes, that is exactly what is happening. 2000W solar panels feed the battery, up to 800W are allowed to be fed back into the grid/house network. Keep in mind you could also plug a 3000W device directly into the battery,…
Regarding async I kind of agree with you right now, but the new design is there and currently getting implemented. If you don’t believe it will work out or need to use async right now sure, use something else. It is not…
The point is the code is on another type. Any variable could by of a type that implements some Drop logic. It is mostly called implicitly where it is used, wether you as a programmer are aware of it or not. You would…
Drop yes. Thanks for the correction. It is clear when it is called, but you have to check in code you are not currently seeing as any type could implement it. May seem like a minor thing, but is not explicit at the…
Not only being text based but also having another separate language is problematic. Rust also has powerful declarative macros but it is it’s own language. Procedural macros and crabtime are imho a bit better for more…
You can ofc use the *alloc from libc if you want. Otherwise there are different ones in the standard library, ArenaAllocator wraps another allocator, FixedBufferAllocator uses a given byte slice. I recommend to take a…
Comptime is very nice but certainly more limited then Lisp. You can't generate arbitrary code with it. But good enough to implement something like JSON serialization or Struct-of-Arrays in normal code that is readable.…
Like a modern C with lessons learned. Instead of macros it uses Zig itself to execute code at runtime (comptime). Custom allocators are the norm. No hidden control flow, everything is very explicit and easy to follow.…
Maybe on the condition that the law was struck down by courts. Otherwise it would block iterations on any controversial topics that need time to reach consensus. Some others here asked how would we decide what is the…
It would probably be toppled by courts, yes. Anyway, meanwhile they already start implementing it, developing the technology and infrastructure they can base on the next time where they basically reintroduce the same…
Glad we could delay it for now. It will come back again and again with that high of support though. Also the German Bundestag is already discussing a compromise:…
The way it is currently yes. But hardware is way more efficient now. Why not sacrifice performance and optimize a bit more in that direction? It is plenty fast already for everyday life. I don’t like that we only focus…
I want an extra thick model instead, let’s call it iPhone Travel (or Ultra?). Just thick enough so the cameras are no longer sticking out. Give me an all-week battery instead of an all-day one. Slim down the power usage…
But hey, at least the battery is (partially) replaceable that way.
It’s true for me. I need a portable workstation more than a mobile laptop, as long as it survives train travels (most have power outlets now), moving between buildings/rooms or the occasional meeting with a customer…
No it hasn’t become so dangerous and surveillance doesn’t help. Neither cameras nor real-name accounts actually helped to prevent crimes. Same with databases, lists or other surveillance tools. Many criminals who…
The US matters, it has a big influence and could force companies around the globe to hurry up the transition. Just because the emissions may have peaked a lot of it is just outsourced. Also just reducing is not enough.…
Ironically climate will also rewrite the US and the rest of the world in return. More so that we are losing several important years because the US as a big contributor is now governed by complete climate deniers.…
The key feature seems to be the dynamic nature while still being fast. Sure, they could also build it as a compiler that does all mentioned in the article and then dump optimized Go code. Maybe even use the Go PGO…
Lack of water and extreme weather events (hurricanes, landslides, strong floods, long droughts, heat, cold) will play a major role in the future. Locations/facilities that protect from these problems will be desired and…
Of course. And don’t look up. I’m always amazed at how good we humans are at denying reality.
We will see much more of this. Consequences of climate change start to really ramp up. We have been seeing temperature records year after year way beyond expectations. It’s coming fast and it is happening now, not just…
As someone working for the German automotive industry I see part of the reason being a nearly constant crisis situation. Software is another part that seems to consume a huge amount of resources for little outcome. See…
