To make it more educational make it interact with the system and the user . For example I would have the program to show a list of real files from the os and prompt the hacker to delete it or not.

Stop transfering people from sales to engineering!

'I’m a bad programmer" then later lists extra curriculars that dwarfs my skills

I don’t think the issue is him; it’s the economy. Companies are probably not really looking to increase their workforce but still conducting interviews just in case they find a “Rockstar”

I always right my code linearly like on the left example with comments like further in the articles. Actually what I do if I right all the comments first and then add the code. If I push my code like that everyone immediately understand my code find bugs & potentiel issues with it and then tells me to refactor it in whatever flavor of best practice they like. If I structure it like on the right reviewers still complain about the structure I choose but never identify any bug or other real issues.

All my career everyone would say elegance and cleverness are bad but everyone who gets promoted are the one who insist on elegant and clever code. I guess it’s because their confident and vocal and that’s what human are programmed to pick as leaders

Fuck cars

If you go into the detailed explanation (and can read French) they do have some hydraulic pumping included in their “batteries” section.

In their 100% renewables scénario on a peak consumption (105gw) hour and peak energy production (sun at zenith) they would store the excess production like such:

• 7.2gw to water pumping
• 22gw to static batteries
• 2gw back to the grid (chatting electric vehicles I guess).

Also even in their most nuclear scenario (50% nuclear, 50% renewables) they still include 7.2gw of water pumping.

I’m curious of why you put so much value in water pumping? As a Quebecois I have a small notion of how disruptive (flooding of vast areas of land, massive amounts of concrete, dead rivers downstream of the dam ) water reservoirs for hydroelectricity can be and I have a hard time imagining a viable way of relying extensively on that technique.

That’s accurate. There’s always a few steps not included in the tutorial

I feel like Inflation is not hitting me as much as my suburban friends. They keep complaining about the big grocery store chain collusion (they got caught increasing bread prices a few years back).

Where I live there’s line 3 mom&pop produce/pastry/butcher between me and the big chain grocery store. My big chain grocery store is cheaper then other store of the same franchise.

We built huge expensive highway sso huge corps could build mega stores that killed all the locally owned stores. Now they so what they want.

I thinks the salt used for melting the ice, the high variations of temperature, the surface being wet non stop for weeks when the snow melts and the frequent snow plowing (which is a huge metal shovel that scraps the pavement) contributes a lot to the fading.

I fucking hate cars too and I agree with you they are completely inefficient. But paint on pavement in cities where the temperature is near 0°C a good part of the year is also inefficient.

Pedestrians and bicyclists still have to wait 2 lights to turn left. Streets have been adapting to cars for around 80 years and it still not working

In Canada street paint lasst ~2 years (it typically fades noticeably after the first winter) and during those 2 years it’s obfuscated by snow 10% of the time.

It’s pay walled but how would China enforce that ruling? Ban all of Intel’s transactions with Chinese entity? Fines?

How do we get this to be a talking point here in Canada? I don’t have the numbers but I’m sure banks here are doing the same thing

Here in Montreal we have a very popular car sharing company that allows many of us to not own cars.

It’s biggest issue at the moment is that the company can’t buy cars as quickly as demand increases. This type of cars would be a great addition to their park since a lot of the trips their customer do are short inner city trips.

It says they are force to negotiate with publishers. I guess the news publisher can just accept to not get paid

Looks like it fits on the filter

They article mention it’s more about discouraging teens from starting smoking than making current smokers quit.

It kind of make sense since you start smoking by receiving a single cigarette not by buying a pack. I know at my high school a lot of smokers started smoking by buying individual smoke from the smoke pusher

Wouldn’t it be a pleonasm? Tautology is more about the logic realm, specifically about repeating an argument or a statement as it they were different. Here “inaccurate factoid” is merely inaccurate vocabulary.

That would cover like 80% of my work related usage of chatgpt and do stuff I didn’t think of outsourcing to AI. I’ll probably unsubscribe from co pilot too.

Can’t wait for it to be in Goland.

It’s ok we’ll just use more fentanyl
