C++: Indiscriminately pwning n00bs and grizzled veterans alike since 1983.

@_NIG3L_ Nice. Pity about the RUCs 😆. Ironically makes our Aqua cheaper to run the our Leaf. Although if electricity were free that would be different.

@_NIG3L_ Do you have a sense for what your cost per kWh is from your solar (amortising capex in)?

@PGPayT @redditSpaceView The giant tin foil hat on webb is there to block the heat from the sun. Pointing back at earth means pointing sunward and would likely completely saturate the IR sensors on board. Webb is made to look for the very bottom end of IR.

@tessamdberger @PopBase A 27-year old fighting a 58-year old isn’t exactly a level playing field to start with

@dan_brunskill Was this a “rank these things” or a “rate how much you care out of 10”?

[Guy Sherman (he/him) @guysherman]

@DeSerrateGame @DanielW_Kiwi Also, heat exchangers often rely on a high surface area to volume ratio, so you’d need to pass the water through relatively thin pipes, also way more prone to clogging. Also probably not much of a temperature gradient, best case 40 degrees from pure hot water to room temp.

@ProduceLikeAPro @Everyone Ardour. I was drawn to it because it is open source, but I like that you can talk to the people who make it, and the pace at which they keep evolving it.

@rockthejvm @ApacheSpark I always thought that part of the reason python was so popular was that binding to C libs was easy and fairly performant, whereas JNI kinda sucks.

[Guy Sherman (he/him) @guysherman]

@ahammer__ I am always torn by this. I sanity check by asking myself “if this never actually gets fixed, do I really care?”. If I do care then I’m going to want it fixed, or at a minimum a backlog item (but usually a fix). If I could live without it until the end of time, I let it pass.

@troyhunt If it was leaked publicly odds are many bad actors got it, therefore all data should be treated as compromised, therefore the users need to be notifies.

Is it just me, or does the state of texas kinda look like a revolver pointing to the sky.

@timClicks Batten down the firewalls!

[Guy Sherman (he/him) @guysherman]

@eatonphil @croloris They can be orders of magnitude better latency. Think about how an ORM keeps entities in memory to avoid making repeated queries. Now you want that cache to be distributed across some hosts. You don't want it to be as slow as the database the data came from in the first place.

[Guy Sherman (he/him) @guysherman]

@EricLengyel Whoa, they still use COM for all that?

[Guy Sherman (he/him) @guysherman]

@_NIG3L_ @sponno Same, I had an LG one. If Microsoft hadn’t messed with the C runtime they could have had a success, but porting was just too much effort.

[Guy Sherman (he/him) @guysherman]

@ID_AA_Carmack Did it originate with wanting to charge a license fee to publish on the platform (as a solve for loss-leading the hardware)? Seems like the 30% storefront cut is a stand-in for that?

[Guy Sherman (he/him) @guysherman]

@dhh Does it Linux though. (Granted Macs and Snapdragons don’t linux particularly well either).

[Guy Sherman (he/him) @guysherman]

WTF @duolingo this is traumatising!

[Guy Sherman (he/him) @guysherman]

Man, hugops to Chorus. Somebody must have got _well_ carried away with a shovel last night.

[Guy Sherman (he/him) @guysherman]

@CFDevelop Nope. The most useful thing about senior devs is their ability to resolve ambiguity into action, and avoid painting themselves into a corner over the long term while they do it. Claude is not going to be at that level for a while I suspect.
