No it is not solved. Grid-scale batteries are absolutely not being mass-produced today. Let's stick to the truth here. I would LOVE for this to be the case, however. Adding this again so that I am not lumped together…
What? Absolutely not, I love capitalism. The problem is that it is suspended when it comes to the wind farms, they are pretty much always heavily subsidized and on a socialized loss scheme at that. And no, I have no…
I am a non-hater of renewables. I add this because in plenty of _your_ circles, you are either all in on renewables or you are a coal thumper, basically. I am neither. We need to add nuance by complicating this…
Easiest. If that is the easiest way you see I am afraid to ask what the harder alternatives would be.
That is just not the case. I have worked, full time, as a functional programmer coming up to 15 years, in different langauges. Actual functional programming and not merely doing web programming with React. "[...] pure…
Component is not a term out of the FP schoolbook. I am sorry to be making what smells like a true scottsman here, but you seem to be describing a React codebase since they call themselves functional with that Redux…
I also write with fountain pens these days. Do you have a favorite model?
All four of these are awesome tips, thank you!
Do you have anything in particular in mind here? Long time macOS user but I like a good pro tip :)
Right and C has a special place in my heart. I have never coded C in anger, but the weird thing about coding in Java is how low level all the implementations are. I've had this debate/ conversation with people over the…
I am not. I am saying that had I been a good little Java/ C# developer, then I would never have learned Rust and all of the things that come with that. Scala is not doing great, probably because they took too long to…
C is turing complete so of course. You can do anything with C but that is not the issue we are discussing here.
This is just not true, the last bit you say. That is the same old trope about F#, Rust or Scala being niche, things people that don't have to earn money or feed children can do. I worked 100% in those languages from…
This rests entirely on the same same sort of conservative attitude towards new experiences that holds the other half of the development world back. The Java world. People generally do not want to learn new things, they…
I guess that depends on what goals you have in mind. If they are producing a correct program, then having the compiler verify your assumptions, forcing you do deal with domain complexity upfront is one way to do that.…
Unless you or him define what you mean by complexity, we are not going to be able to come to an agreement there. This line of reasoning, it seems to me, is making the case that C is more complex than Assembly because…
Still not picking on C++ here. I would claim that these concepts pretty much all exist in C++ too, but often implicitly so. You would solve them by "braining them", with good rules of thumb, patterns, tests and deep…
I reject the whole Rust has a high complexity premise, but I would gladly continue our conversation around it here but I would need a little more definition for that to be possible. What do you mean by complexity in…
I would argue that what you call complexity here is better referred to as explicit or visible complexity, as compared to hidden or implicit commplexity. The complexity as such comes with the domain and its application;…
I was one of these "smart students" but it really wasn't that I did not want to be there. I was a lazy, or complacent, f*ck. I've have had to learn how to learn and how to have discipline late(r) in life.
Anything in particular that your Linux experience adds over what is available on macOS?
Would the DRM exist without piracy?
This is again conflating at least two things and this is so prevalent in this context. Let us not conflate how annoying DRM:s are to us users that buy the things, with pirates thinking they somehow have a right to use…
I don't think I can agree with you here because a lot of these things that people know but that is supposedly hard to dress in words, is very often just positions that someone holds arbitrarily, so is difficult to…
I am still an idiot. But driving baked would be impossible :)
