How?

Renewables are not suitable for replacing nuclear, coal and other traditional sources of energy due to the fact that you cannot control production.

Not a big surprise, eventually we are going to move to nuclear one way or another

As a former Amazonian too, I can tell you that we internally had several feature request open to certain teams who could not give two shits about customers anymore. We (a bunch of engineers working on the website platform) we enraged about

Which is done purposefully and not by data in-consistency at all.

It is not that I think 50% is a lot but it is the same 50% when amazon is selling fakes. If amazon would be able to sell items that are original and the money would go to the right person maybe 50% is ok. This is not the case by a long shot

I am more and more inclined to purchase things that I can hold in my hand or have it in the room with me and does not require internet connection to function.

Data consistency is overrated if your business is ok with that. Many businessed are not ok with that. Example: airline, booking process.

It was years ago, I try to dig up the link on Github but can't even remember which project I was trying to compile. It was about static linking on Mac.

I was just saying that syntax arguments most of the time are silly. I like LISP and ML languages, so for me it doesn't really matter if I need to write LISPy code or ML code.

As a manager I still struggle how to motivate people. There are very few people who just work because they would like to achieve something. The rest of people are using all kinds of excuses to just sit around and do nothing or go for easy w

It is like buying Oracle or IBM. Companies really like to hire companies like Tata. Why? Because managers are like this. I don't have a better explanation. Best advise I got for you is to find a 3rd party (or couple of 3rd parties) tha

Absolutely not. The last time I have tried Haskell it was failing some pretty basic tasks. The JSON library required to be re-compiled for some reason and it used 20+G of RAM when the build crashed. The community is flat out hostile towards

As a hobby software engineer who mostly writes ETL jobs in Python the biggest selling point of Rust is Cargo. I usually use a lot of .clone() in my code and most of my fields are Strings which would make a seasoned Rust/C++ laugh at th

> At it’s core, XML allows a software engineer the ability to create a vocabulary, and use this vocabulary to describe data. The lols. This is so good to read that XML allows that.

We are talking about 10+ years old companies. I quite often save significant amount of money for such companies which could have been saved from the beginning by not doing something completely silly.

I am curious what use cases triggered the development of XML for example.

by StreamBright 4y ago
This is exactly what OP is talking about. You have XML instead of ASN.1 Imagine if we had only one way of doing data transfer between computer systems.

Same here. Some projects I work on: - please put this broken crap of 15 services written in 6 different programming languages on a 50 node cluster so we can read and write data with 300 kbit/s. 2 years later: - could you do something a

There was a great white paper investigated how software gets bigger and bigger. They used the command line tool true as an example. I can't find it anymore but it was really an eye opener.
