This is not just some random Musk garbage, but actual Twitter privacy policy and publuc should be thus be aware.

Batteries were phone specific but it wasn’t a big problem to find them. I bought several for my Note 3 and it allowed me to use the phone for a long time.

Isn’t Samsung DEX exactly that?

You can get way more compact mirrorless, my Fuji X-E3 + 35mm f/2 is 550g and the difference in image quality is very clear.

That switch was more than 10 years ago.

Sure, but a much smaller one.

It’s not about the resolution which as you mention is already more than sufficient. But you can easily see bad optics, bad color rendition, oversharpening etc. on a 500px image.

Cam girls are going to lose their jobs.

You can clearly see a qualitative difference between good and bad cameras even onf facebook-sized photos.

If your cameras detect something the lidar does not, you trust the cameras

Yes, but if the lidar sees something the cameras doesn’t, you trust the lidar.

SMIC used ASML lithography machines to produce those chips. Thry can’t buy more of them and can’t get spare parts. It will be more tectonic when China can produce such lithography machines, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Intel 10nm is comparable to TSMC 7nm.

The numbers sound exact, but they aren’t much more than marketing terms nowadays.

That would make stocks a form of retirement, not a work compensation.

How about that you can sell the stocks, with an uncancellable order a year in advance?

Python is for some reason darling of many, sometimes it has almost religious connotations. Meanwhile differences from e.g. PHP are mostly superficial and each has their strengths and weaknesses.

Bourne shell is orders of magnitude worse clusterf*ck than JavaScript, yet it’s rarely criticized.

Rust rarely gets criticized which isn’t necessarily a problem, since it’s IMHO a good language for its intended use case. But people tend to recommend it for things where the trade offs come out negative. (apps not needing max. performance)

In general I wouldn’t follow the trends on social media, it’s all a huge groupthink, mostly focusing on (easily avoidable) warts, and ignoring strengths.

Swallowing your pride, merging into another project and taking a less glamorous role in that project is not as easy as it was to fork when steering your project.

I don’t think it’s because of the ego. But if you’re working with other people, you need to do a lot of non-coding (non-fun) things. Align thinking, find compromises, establish and follow processes. Things are easier and more fun hacking alone. No processes to limit you, no one telling you “this doesn’t align with the vision of the project” (and the other way round - you don’t have to maintain code contributed by other people with use cases not interesting to you) etc. For volunteer FOSS contributors, doing fun stuff is often a big part of the motivation to give their free time to the community.

I agree. Rust has advantages, but none of them outweighs the negatives (complexity, difficult to find devs) for this particular use case.

I also agree that JVM would be a good platform. It’s both performant enough and simple/conventional enough.

has documentation which says it is meant only to be used for logging / debugging

No, it’s not a breaking change IMO. The method contract (the “debug” name, the comment) heavily implies the output may change and should not be relied upon.

I’m in a golden cage where my job earns about twice or more of what a large majority of remote jobs offer (available where I am, which is Europe).

I guess I could get very lucky and find a great paying remote job, but I feel like I could lose in the end.

People still want the money, tho. It’s the main reason I’m staying in my no-remote job.

They didn’t develop the machines needed to produce the chips, yet. They bought the lithography machines from the only producer - dutch ASML, but that’s now cut off. The news is kinda overblown.
