Oh, it said “By ~2026, it will be 100% compliant”, which seems to just be an estimate based on the trend for how many tests they passed over the past years. My bad.
But yeah, probably still useful to get it onto real systems now to find any other remaining bugs.
Yeah, which is why pairing works so well. Suddenly, you’ve got two people who were there when it was created and might know why certain design decisions were made.
Naja, die Aussage war, dass eine vegane Ernährung nicht so sehr einschränkt und dafür muss man per Definition auf Eier und Milchprodukte verzichten.
Oder war das eine ernsthafte moralische Frage? Falls Vegetarismus für dich moralisch nachvollziehbar ist, kann ich Argumente liefern, warum Veganismus meines Erachtens eine logische Schlussfolgerung aus den selben moralischen Werten ist.
Ich finde den Eindruck kann man leicht gewinnen, aber wenn man sich mit der Argumentation der Grünen beschäftigt, dann sind das schon berechtigte Einwände. CDU und SPD wollen z.B. Bundeswehr und ein vermeintliches Infrastrukturpaket beides jetzt noch durchbringen. Bundeswehr ist dringend, Infrastruktur könnte man in der neuen Bundesregierung mit genügend Zeit für Kompromisse klären.
Und dann kommt eben dazu, dass es auch nicht infrastruktur-gebunden ist. Dass wohl nicht mal festgelegt ist, dass es Investitionen sein müssen. Es kann also sehr gut sein, dass CDU+SPD das nachher für normale Ausgaben auf den Kopf hauen und dann ihren Haushalt für ihre politischen Interessen voll ausschöpfen können.
Es wäre schlecht für dieses Land, wenn das passiert.
Mit Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheit geht’s wohl auch ohne Notfall. Bedeutet dann eben, dass man die Parteien überzeugen muss.
Which is why making code readable is so very important. Our juniors and students will think we’re ridiculous, when we spend a long time cleaning up some code or choosing the least misunderstandable name for a type. But you fuck that up and then others, as well as your future self, will be wasting many more minutes misunderstanding what your code does.
Spamming comments is rather controversial, especially in high-level languages. Problem is, they only show up in one place, so they’re just not very useful, but also have a high chance of becoming inaccurate over time. In particular when you spam them to explain relatively trivial stuff, people will stop reading them, meaning they won’t update them.
The ‘what’ can be documented with meaningful variable/function names, log/error/assert messages and perhaps most importantly unit/integration tests (which should be understood like a specification that checks automatically that it’s applied correctly).
Comments are indispensible for explaining the ‘why’, though, whenever that is not obvious.
Worst part is when the un-refactored code continues to confuse other devs, meaning it keeps causing additional work, but you still don’t get time to actually fix it.
Heard just this week that uutils apparently has 100% compatibility with the GNU coreutils (so more than musl aims for). That’s good, if distros start shipping it then. It’s not really something normal users would install themselves…
Well, I mainly mean that they’d need to put in quite a lot of work to make the existing Oblivion mods work with it or to develop a new modding API. I doubt, they’d put that much work in for a cash grab remaster/remake.
I mean, I have heard of some weird constructs before, where games used their own engine for physics and whatnot, and only used Unreal for rendering. If that makes sense for them to do, that would preserve support for most mods.
My workplace set up a social event to get people to talk to each other and watching management try to name it without calling it “alcohol consumption event” has been very funny. I think, they eventually just gave up and it’s now called “After Work”.
That’s kind of the problem. If it was before work, they could name it after a more socially acceptable drug: Morning coffee. 🙃
The thing is, the age of the engine doesn’t say anything. The Unreal Engine started its development before 1998. But you do have to put in work to upgrade an engine over time and Bethesda doesn’t have Fortnite money for that.
If it is in Unreal, that’s going to be interesting. Presumably, mod support is out the window then.
Musste in der Schule einen Vortrag machen und hatte da das Thema “Desertec” mir rausgesucht. Das war so der total geile Masterplan, man baut einfach in der Sahara ein paar Solaranlagen auf, legt Stromleitungen nach Deutschland und zack, unendlich Strom.
Ich hatte mich damals dann auch informiert, bei den besten Quellen: Deren Webseite und Wikipedia.
Da wurde dann auch erwähnt, dass das DLR das auch für voll die geile Idee hält, was ich dann für eine ausreichend valide Quelle gehalten habe.
Wir mussten dann so eine Zusammenfassung im Voraus einreichen, woraufhin meine Lehrerin meinte, dass das bei mir schon recht einseitig klingt.
Also nochmal reingeschaut und gemerkt, dass der Wikipedia-Text teilweise einfach 1-zu-1 von deren Webseite copy-pasted ist. Dass das DLR das für eine geile Idee hält, sagt dadurch eben auch immer die Desertec Foundation selbst. Also ja, es gibt ein Paper, wo das DLR das Thema bespricht, aber so überragend positiv ist das nicht, und selbst das ist ja schon von Desertec vorselektiert.
Dann eben mal ganz normal 'ne Websuche gemacht und direkt so Einwände gefunden, wie hey, wenn man so ein langes Kabel legt, dann braucht man da ordentlich Spannung drauf, um die Verluste gering zu halten. Und hey, die Sahara ist jetzt nicht gerade für ihre politische Stabilität bekannt. Oder für ihre Wasservorkommen, die man bräuchte, um die Solarpanele von Staub frei zu halten.
Also kein Plan, vielleicht ist das trotzdem in einem gewissen Rahmen eine sinnvolle Idee, aber bin eben voll in’s Messer einer Lobbying-Gruppe reingerannt, die bewusst verzerrte Informationen verbreitet.
Your donation money does not go towards the salary of the Mozilla Corporation CEO. But yes, it does not go to Firefox development either. The Mozilla Corporation, which develops Firefox, needs to have enough money independent of donations, because the devs’ livelihoods depend on that. Well, and the donation money isn’t nearly enough to cover those costs anyways.
So, the Mozilla Foundation (which owns the Mozilla Corporation and which you donate to) uses the donation money instead for political activism, for community work (which may lead to more contributors to Firefox) and sometimes they award some of that money to other open-source projects, which are also vital for an open web, but which are not visible enough to collect donations.
It is kind of cool, when you’ve actually written your own software and use that. But realistically, I’m still getting the compiler from the internet…
Well, it’s also not really a brand new OS. In many ways, postmarketOS picks up where desktop Linux stands. There’s some general integration tasks to solve, like how you can talk to the modem to make phone calls or how to deal with touch inputs, and then you may need to either update or rewrite desktop applications to make them responsive, so that they fit onto a phone screen, but then you end up with a pretty good OS relatively quickly. That is why I like the Plasma Mobile UI so much, because it’s just KDE Plasma from desktop Linux with some different configurations.
There will still be certain drawbacks, for example some people rely on proprietary apps on their Android phone to interact with their banking or whatever, which are unlikely to become available for postmarketOS. But personally, I wouldn’t use these apps anyways, because they are so user hostile, so I won’t miss them anyways.
At $DAYJOB, we develop an application for basically linking up low-level devices over the internet. And yeah, in one codebase, we have:
All of that is in Rust, so it’s not just not wanting to learn different languages, it’s genuinely useful.
We can use the same model types in the various clients and the backend, meaning it’s compile-time guaranteed that they work together. Just as well, we can generally use the same libraries. And while e.g. the web frontend and low-level software use frameworks, making it not entirely trivial to just jump into that part of the codebase, the barrier for entry is a lot lower.
And yeah, ultimately that flexibility is something I find hard to give up, especially when customer requirements are as nebulous as they usually are.
Honestly, we never had a hard reason why we should be using Rust. It was just that maybe we’d need such low-level simulation software, maybe we need the performance to process each individual network package, maybe we need to do things in the Linux kernel. The rest was just that we wanted to use Rust, because it’s a cool language.
Wikipedia says hedgehogs are called that, because they live in hedges, not because they look like one…
