  • Using an engineering notebook

  • I have a more mixed approach.

    Decisions or attempts, i try to document them as comments on the ticket. It feels a bit like a conversation with my future self 😄

    Things that pop up in my head that I don't want to forget, but don't have time to write out, I put in a new tab on nodepad++

    Archi things go as markdown in de source code

    Investigations and reports in a wiki

    All these have all the pros of an engineering handbook out of the box (date, issuer, ...)

    I only use paper for the stuff I don't want a trail off and just want to throw away afterwards.

  • This is a joke about HolyC

  • In c they do indeed just mean shorter and longer int as the size of the int is defined by the compiler and target and originally represented the hardware.

    There are types like int32_t or int_least16_t.

  • Making foreach on an IEnumerable allocation-free using reflection and dynamic methods

  • In later .net version for loops can be slower than linq queries. If the compiler knows the iteration does not cause side effects, it often already does not allocate and can even vectorize some loops, so .Sum(...) might be faster then a manual for loop.

    Optimizing without benchmarking is often wasted effort.

  • Primary Constructors: Love them or Hate them?

  • I think they especially make sense for records so you can easily create shallow modifyable value semantic types with little boilerplate code.

    I do hate that all these features are yet more keywords and weird syntax. It's becoming C##.

    Like the records are just sytesized methods on classes or structs. We already have this in the language with source generation. If something there was missing to create records, it would IMO make more sense to improve the source generation so the community also has access to the ecmxtensions. And the record could be split up in it's separate features (copy constructor, defaul ToString imp, equatable) so we could choose to use part of it.

  • LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems

  • I bought a TV running VIDAA. You can use it without wifi and disable everything and let it just start on an input.

    I don't know of it's EU only.

  • Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US

  • Up to 1.2kW hopefully.

  • A combination of standard units

  • A kilogram or a pound have no real tangible comparison to real world things unless you yourself make the comparison

    A kilogram is a 1l bottle of water. A ton a 1m3 cube of water or a car. 10 ton a truck.

    Anything bigger is just unimaginable ^^

  • TIL Cigarette butts are the most common form of plastic pollution

  • I highly doubt it, but go ahead and prove your claim.

    I would turn that around cause you are claiming filters help prevent cancer. Producers should prove that, but they don't. Filters don't help.

    Speaking as an ex-smoker who didn't match the caricature

    Good for you, but you are in the minority. I know no one that smokes that carry around a portable ashtray. If there is none in a couple of meters, they get thrown on the ground.

  • TIL Cigarette butts are the most common form of plastic pollution

  • Smoking with a filter has no health benefits. Statistically, there are even more illnesses with people that smoke with filter cause they on average smoke more cause it irritates the throat less.

    Our local cancer NGO even lobbied to ban filtered sigarettes as they cause more smoking and are plastic litter.

  • Marianne Vos uses self-inflating tyres at Gravel World Championships

  • Don't they already have electronic shifters?

  • hmmm

  • You've also seen tiger king?

  • Aluminum

  • Pure aluminium is only used when you need to have very little reactivity.

    General construction steel has >98% weight iron. Around the same as most aluminium alloys.

  • How One Chinese EV Company Made Battery Swapping Work

  • There was a scooter sharing company that drove around, swapping the batteries. It went out of business and now there are only the Bird style scooters.

    If there were battery swapping stations, I'd definitely by me a bike.

  • Shit...

  • My money is on MusX

  • 10-year-old swept into storm drain to become an organ donor, dad says

  • That is the case in Belgium.

    It is not enforced tho. If you didn't register as a donor, they will still ask the relatives, especially of they need to keep the body on life support after the person is declared dead.

  • Borders are merely representations of governance

  • The other side has a ditch that might be an open sewer. Those need to be mowed.

  • Can an online library of classic video games ever be legal?

  • Cause selling new games is more profitable.

    If a new games costs €60 and older games €5 or less (which would be a lot less on streaming services), they'd have to sell at least 12 old games for every new game they sell less cause of this change. And if gamers spend more time on older games, it's highly possible that they'd buy, even just a single game, less.

    It's the same with movies or TV. They would only loose money if they make the whole archive available as there is just so much of it that some of the new things could become irrelevant.

    Not that I'm against archiving, but it is caused by the creative sector having to have to make money, which isn't easy for smaller players, and greed.

  • A Pound of Hamburger Meat Would Cost $30 Without Tax Payer Subsidies

  • Most isn't the right word. In countries where the government doesn't or can't keep the cost is meat down, a lot of people don't east meet daily as it's more expensive than other food sources. Gigantic subsidies for meat and diary exist in the US, EU, China, Brasil,...

  • A Pound of Hamburger Meat Would Cost $30 Without Tax Payer Subsidies

  • Most of the world does indeed eats little to no meat, especially red meat. In the EU, these kind of subsidies also exist.
