Not a good year for PL pioneers, starting with Nicklaus Wirth's passing. We all owe Basic a lot. No "modern" tech has filled that position. Rest in peace.

I'm not a C programmer but your comment reminds me of all the lame jokes people make about the German language.

Sticking with something "for your whole career" is a very bold advice that must be taken with appropriate caution. No?

> It's also a large barrier to adoption. e.g. for me. I never dared to get my foot wet with AWS, despite interest. Better safe with a cheap, flat-rate VPS than sorry.

Maybe try Photopea: https://www.photopea.com/

There is an episode of Freakonomics podcast about the same(?) topic: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/how-does-the-lost-world-of-... …

One wonders how much energy (in MWh) that translates to, if such a calculation is possible.

What is lead dev? Is that an official scrum role somewhere?

I used to use it much more before I knew about Photopea. For non-professionals like me, PhotoPea has the extra benefit of not having to install an extra desktop software just for very occasional use.

It's interesting to know the very first "awesome" repo. Does anyone have an idea?

The year is 2022.

I can find my way in Python, but using nothing other than an "ordinary" computer/laptop, i.e. no SBC etc... :)

I tend to be optimistic here. The situation I believe has visibly improved since 2017-ish era, where you had cables looking exactly the same, but only some of them working, and some others working whe…

Maybe then "interactivity" becomes more important and sort of a distinctive feature? More move from "web of documents" nature of Original Internet to the "web of applications&…

It is kinda interesting that the only software program I miss when on a non-Windows machine is an open source (and GPL of all) replacement for built-in Notepad, developed by an independent engineer.

Was the case in Switzerland too, until recently-ish when they changed it.

Thanks for sharing. How about 4o-mini?

> I will never buy a manual car again. Me after I accidentally ended up buying an automatic car for the first time.

More like " how some people prefer manual memory management for non-performance-critical applications".

Yes. I fully get that, living in Europe myself (Isn't 20% a bit too much by the way?)

Isn't it an actually American thing to "feel closer to the machine"?

> It's like running Linux. To me it's more like "running your own-compiled GNU Hurd Kernel", probably on your own-assembled kit :D Linux has very "tangible" use cases,…

Automatic transmission is probably the only indispensable "feature" I look for in a new car and that I'm willing to pay extra for. How some people prefer manual is probably one of the m…

Probably @threads.net becoming a "full" Mastodon instance (and in Europe too) will make a difference in the current situation.

What is "speculative decoding"?
