In 2020 I've gone from never having recorded myself to being annoyed by continuity errors in my pretend-cello-filled piano quartet https://t.co/KpQRiR0tEI But viola+piano is a bit limited, so I'd love to hear from anyone who'd like to join me for some video-assisted music making.
@MCCCANM "enabled" or "disabled". But without quite a lot of Googling (or a wideband spectrum analyzer) I wouldn't be confident to say which frequencies someone else's device was using. So I would expect any modern plane needs to cope with a +23 dBm device held against the cabin wall?
@MCCCANM One thing I've never understood here: if consumer electronics which transmits in cellular bands is dangerous in the cabin, then consumer electronics shouldn't be allowed in the cabin. As an RF engineer, I'm 90% sure I know which bands my phone/watch/tablet/etc use when /1
@levelsio Huh, I (in Lisbon, Portuguese and UK SIM cards active) didn't get anything, although I have had SMS warnings from ANEPC about Chuva forte in the past. Maybe they sent it when the cellular networks were only intermittently functioning...
@crypt2d2ot@michaelmiraflor I'm very happy that the standardised port exists. I'm very unhappy that the version numbering for the transport is a complete dumpster fire, and mildly unhappy that the USB-IF couldn't be bothered to come up with connector labelling until it was far too late.
@crypt2d2ot@michaelmiraflor I have a 65W (?) charging cable, an alt-DisplayPort (?) cable, and many cables without these features. All of them are visually identical C-C cables. When I travel these all get chucked together. Yes this is solvable, but it's annoying there's absolutely no marking on the cables.
@hikari_no_yume@Love2Code@blelbach I don't understand this argument. Nothing forces you to avoid dividing by zero, but... we manage not to?
If I'm given a value/reference, I can use it unconditionally. If I'm given an optional or pointer, then my code immediately has two logical paths: do I have a value or not?
@fasterthanlime I think this is the key point that I had been missing in these discussions before. In most tasks in our codebase, I spend more time thinking about what to implement than I do implementing (with the help of some codegen), and I hadn't realised that might not be that common.
@imobulus@UCEconomist @the_coproduct @yacineMTB We use lots of constexpr maps and sets. It just requires going to github to download a nice header someone wrote.
@cybergibbons We use these a lot at conferences where there's usually people from 3 or 4 different countries sitting at a table and plugging in their equipment. Is it just cheap ones that are a concern, or are there unlikely to be any good ones out there?
@RudRecciah@uxorious_cosine@keysmashbandit@samadamsthedog At my previous job trying to use a float would have got me laughed out of the code review. But perhaps targeting an ARM M0 isn't so different from driving a car which has no steering wheel.
@gorunmane@lefticus We compile our code with all three in order to support the platforms we want to; what are the problems you have with them? The only thing that trips me up is frequently forgetting how far Apple clang is behind the others.
@robertgraham I'm surprised by how much difference the comment makes; or is that common? That without comments it can (partially) explain the effect of a block of code, but doesn't manage to say anything about the purpose of it?
@RaghavMalik15@joshuagrochow@linguanumerate Does that vary between languages? For C++ it has good debugger integration, good code lookup/autocomplete via clangd; I have full VS set up for the same project and I've opened it ~3x for some profiling that was awkward to do via my normal profiling tool.
@jen_canary @JayHulmePoet What I find odd is that it seems restaurants are actually taking the payment 1st and then taking more later. I see: 1) card taken away 2) bank app tells me $30 has been taken 3) write $6 on receipt 4) sometime later payment changes to $36. I assume they only pay one fee, though?
@KirkegaardEmil Sadly I rarely do any interesting maths anymore. But I do need to collaborate on technical documents with colleagues; I can't check Word documents into git, and markdown is awkward. What's the sensible alternative to LaTeX?
