In theory, air-gaps can be circumvented by bribing or blackmailing people, which is in reach for an LLM/agent.

While I'm waiting for my Kia EV3 to arrive, I'm desparately trying to figure out which wallbox I need to buy to make use of V2H/V2G. Everything claims to be "ready", but I still don't know whether V2H/V2L

IIUC that was meant as an intermediate step (which isn't uncommon), which IMO makes the translation way less exciting. The interesting part will be whether they can transform that "mechanical Rust" into something idiomatic. I

In my experience, it absolutely does (at least if you use it idiomatically). Using the type system (esp. enums, Result and newtypes) makes a good bunch of invalid states irrepresentable. This also helps to focus on the remaining things that

I had no troubles targeting an ATTiny13A with Rust. (had to disable debug symbols, though) Why should that be any harder than C?

IIUC only 50k LoC are non-test code, which improves the metric. Whether that's enough tests still depends on the code. If most are getters and setters, the coverage might be ok.

I often wish this type existed, but didn't find a way to define the niche value for the compiler to optimize the None-case. Do you know a solution to this?

Support for Firefox on Linux is still only in nightly (unless that changed "very" recently) This blocks progress (and motivation) on some of my projects.

LineageOS was just the easiest for me personally (was already installed anyway). But aren't there parental tools to lock down phones for non-tech people? Another middle ground would be to insert no SIM card (my kids only had access via

Who will teach them how to (not) use them once they have one? I mean things like privacy, phishing, social media risks, addiction, subscription fees, etc.? I think the possession of a device isn't the risk itself.

So, no flexibility, spontaneity? So far we had: - "I'd like to stay with a friend after school - they'll drive me home after dinner", "Sure, thanks for the info, have fun" - "Fire alert, I'm fine but

I had the same sentiment when reading. It all looks like B'n'W opinions and mixing devices and services. I completely miss the "parenting" aspect. It's all about prohibition.
16.
by kawogi 2y ago
I wholeheartedly agree. I think it's more important to talk about the services they use than what device they're on. And most problematic services already have an age limit. It's the parents' damn job to make sure their

Our kids at school are using https://cscircles.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/ for an introduction to Python and it seems they're making good progress (age 11 to 14) It's available in German (and maybe other languages), too.

Funny coincidence. I found Dracula for VSStudio two days ago. So far it is the only dark theme that provides overall readable texts combined with red-shift for me. Single-line comments could be a bit brighter, though.

Then, I'm one of them. I own a PV covering 120 % of my yearly power consumption. I obtain the remaining (night-time) energy from a 100 % renewable provider (no nuclear). I rarely use my car, which only consumes 5 l / 100 km. Most
