@tonialaribe Why k is not something like |h|? (The size of the h set?) It would be much cleaner, only letting S and h as "unknown types".

@FancyKarolina In theory it turns off when the connected devices stop using it. (And it tries to save battery rather than data.)

If you have a macbook, and everything is set up correctly you can turn on the hotspot from your mac too. It should be on the available wifi list.

@OfficialLoganK @OpenAI You can pick me too! I just started to work in this problem area a week ago, so kinda new but also have some understandings.

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@GergelyOrosz I'm working for and working with startups, and my takeaway so far; if you don't beleive "the product could be a thing", run! If you like the project, it is still a coinflip but at least you see how an early startup works, and you worked on problems that interest you.

@BillieRubenMake I usually make things with random ingredients like; apple, chickenbreast, cheese, cream.
Or chickenbreast with mustard mashroom and cucumber and cream.
Or minced meat with tomato paprika and sausages.
Or minced meat with tomato beans and corn.

@alexelcu I got it 48h ago. The first 10h was boring, then 24h fever, now I'm good again. Just to know that maybe you will miss the next day entirely. (Jansen after 2 Pfizers)

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@pressreset Last week.

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@yoeight 500k LoC is extreme.

I'm more comfortably hack into a (prev not seen) scala codebase than java ones, or even python/js ones. The programming paradigms that FP follows, and the compiler which sanity checks your ideas, leave you less room to broke things.

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@yoeight So in theory FP should win, but in practice, you will find more and cheaper OO programmers. And ofc we can't measure this... Also, the problem is not with the "how fast they can solve this", but rather with "how fast they can change things after years".

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@yoeight If you need to guard everywhere against nulls (hello C#/java/js) you already lost by a lot... And we haven't touched the pros/cons on mutability, and random exception handling, and goto-like breaks/returns, which makes it tricky to read the code.

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@alexelcu I worked at a company where they had an "advent of deleting code" challenge, and the team won who removed the most code line from their services in December :)

Also, in one of my jobs, we started to delete 1-1 unused feature/api weekly as a habit.

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@alexelcu Now I starting to see your point. Still I think it is not that radical as OSI states it, but it is a really questionable grey zone...

I think your last point that ES not required to do the same is the nail in the coffin.

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@alexelcu I found the tweet you started w/, and read the post, and still don't get it. OSD6 is not hurt by the license itself, it is only inconvenient to some. They do not directly discriminate SaaS providers, just SaaS p. will not want to open their codebase, so they discrim. themselves.

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@alexelcu Can you tell me why SSPL is bad (and not opensource anymore)? It only hurt SaaS providers and SaaS users. If you are qualified to run it on your machines you can still do it freely, aren't you? (I don't want to defend them, just want to understand why it hurts so much.)

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@yongfook @krafthu Why not docker and libpq? (In general, docker with M1 is still beta...)

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@volpegabriel87 Why not zulip?

I think the server hoster can see private chats but admins and owners are not. And I like the concept and features.

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@guizmaii @volpegabriel87 I think it's a 2 edged sword; sure, you couple random things without a real value. But, it's just a boilerplate code where if sth changing you need to change it in every test.

I use the coupling usually bcs makes the testwriting less copy-pasty.

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@old_sound OOP was kinda a not perfect solution. Lots of ppl starting to realize this. When you get an inventory item out of the database, you get back the data. Why we couple the data with the functions? It just restrict us. Also, mutating states are mind-consuming, and hard to test/debug.

[Gergo Torcsvari @tg44]

@mountain_ghosts This is like;
Can someone tell me how people that aren't carpenters are supposed to fix the leakage on the roof without a ladder, pls

No other carpenter stuff allowed like hammer or nails.

Aggregating csv-s is not a no-code task yet.
