  • Perpetual Motion finally achieved!

  • Compared to Java, it makes me write the same data structures three or four times.

    Just an example: if I want to be able to insert a struct via Diesel, I need to write the actual entity, an entity without the id for inserts and maybe some other structures for queries. Also, I need to write a schema file defining the DB plus an SQL statement for actually creating the needed tables.

    Another example: explorative testing. Sometimes you need to disable chunks of code for testing purposes. Maybe that long running computation or a DB query, etc. Rust often forces you to write a bunch of "corrections" to make the code seem correct again.

    I get that this is useful, but for my line of work, it's just a pain in the ass.

  • Rust needs some layer on top to make it more usable for the typical business apps.

    I tried to build simple CRUD apps, but it's still a huge pain, because there's just so much stuff I need to do myself and so much low level overhead that I need to keep in mind.

    Java is worse in many ways, but for cobbling together a mess that barely manages to do its thing, it's really great.

  • MIT-educated brothers accused of stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency in 12 seconds in Ethereum blockchain scheme

    Jump

  • It was never "trustless", but trust in the system as a whole.

    The change you mentioned is more a change of the definition of "system", since now it's effectively an oligarchy.

  • Effectively they speed run something like 400 years of banking regulation and its history.

  • MS-DOS has been Open-Sourced!

    Jump

  • Because Ryan wrote it like this 10 years ago and nobody bothered to rewrite it in C.

    Back then, I'd guess most developers were relatively fluent in assembly, so if there's only a small change to make, they'd just change the assembly and move on.

  • be more like dogs

    Jump

  • From what I've heard, dogs have problems seeing the relatively low contrasts in darker faces and that freaks them out.

    ... Or they're just absolutely racist.

  • You don't swallow all of the milk and thus not all of the virus particles. There's always some residue that can then start to infect you just as if you inhaled the virus.

  • FAA bill would force the agency to craft 'real world' rules for airplane evacuations

    Jump

  • What I'm wondering is, how many deaths are attributable to slow evacuation? Usually, you only hear about the great catastrophies where the entire plan crashes into a mountain and evacuation was never an option.

    But how many accidents cause a situation where quick emergency evacuations are actually needed? I have absolutely no intuition about that.

  • German court upholds AfD 'suspected' extremist status

    Jump

  • Because the hurdles for being banned are intentionally very very high.

    Oh, and the authority in question (Verfassungsschutz) had a head who's a bona fide Nazi. So the agency to protect the constitution from (right wing) extremists was led by a right wing extremist.

  • Let's do micro service

    Jump

  • It's because they think it's what you're doing for a large project. Simple as that. There's no future demand, the client doesn't care, and I'm not right because they said so.

  • Germany may introduce conscription for all 18-year-olds

    Jump

  • It's a serious proposal, but not as a universal conscription. It's intended to only call everyone in for the health check and use that as a way to get young people interested in the army.

    There are different models floating around, the most serious being that everyone (including women) gets called in and you basically choose between civil service and army. The civilian side can ramp up slots rather quickly, the army doesn't. So the army probably will ramp up over several years.

    Also, I wouldn't call 100 billion € a "modest increase".

  • Let's do micro service

    Jump

  • I still have to find a name for this disease, but it's somewhat like "you're neither Google nor Netflix".

    Everything has to be Scalable™ even if a raspberry pi could serve 200 times your highest load.

    I'm currently involved with a "micro service system", that has very clear, legal requirements, so we know exactly, how much load to expect. At most, a few thousand users, never more than 100 working at the same time on very simple business objects. Complex business logic, but technically almost trivial. But we have to use a super distributed architecture for scalability....

  • Gotta use all those brain cells

    Jump

  • Basically an extended IQ test, back then this was done at the local university, probably by some psychologist.

    I'm not entirely sure in how far these tests have changed over time and how different they are from adult IQ tests. I definitely remember a longer interview with someone, which isn't part of a regular test, I think.

  • Well, thank you very much, Captain Obvious!

    Are you aware that generalizations can sometimes be a proper rhetorical device or do you need your contrarianism for self validation?

  • Gotta use all those brain cells

  • No, I was actually in a class specifically for gifted children.

    However, this was over 20 years ago and back then, this was a relatively new concept in my region. That meant the class had to be padded with "regulars" and the special treatment we got, was rather limited. Looking back, it seemed like they dropped the idea almost completely after 9th grade or so.

    And even today I'm pretty sure there's no comprehensive testing going on. So a ton of smart children get labelled as having ADHD or just as delinquents if they're from a "bad" background.

    Funny thing is, Germany actually did have a three tiered school system for decades, where after elementary the children were separated by "performance", but since this country is laughably bad at creating equal opportunities, this de facto became a class filter. Parents are academics? Off to the Gymnasium with you! Parents are poor/migrants? Well, Hauptschule will have to do. Good luck at being underemployed for life.
