Nope, 65th place, slightly behind the US and the country of old men: Albania.

And a whole lot of content that I frankly would have preferred not to have seen.
When you’re 12 and your parents have no idea what you’re doing, you’ll end up in very dark corners.
It’s the same in China.
The best argument against Rand is just listening to her for 5min.
Very rarely do you see such a mixture of arrogance, self-righteousness and utter lack of logic in a single person.
And when people started writing books instead of memorizing epic poems.
If some bot reacts to this comment, you’ll make the developer very unhappy.
Had to work with a fixed string format years ago. Absolute hell.
Something like 200 variables, all encoded in fixed length strings concatenated together. The output was the same.
…and some genius before me used + instead of stringbuilders or anything dignified, so it ran about as good as lt. Dan.
And there are some truly magic tools.
XSDs are far from perfect, but waaay more powerful than json schema.
XSLT has its problems, but completely transforming a document to a completely different structure with just a bit of text is awesome. I had to rewrite a relatively simple XSLT in Java and it was something like 10 times more lines.
If you believe in their worldview, that actually makes sense. Biden had similar voter patterns not so long ago. If you truly believe that “your side” is the good one (irrespective of the objective reality), then voting for an idiot who will at least pull in some “good” people is perfectly reasonable.
I mean, we’re talking about a group who unironically believe that Harris is a communist dictator in waiting.
Python caches bytecode, so the translation happens only once.
Java loads everything immediately and keeps it in memory. All beans, all connections, etc. That takes up a ton of memory.
Of course, but I’m not productive in it.
If I have to do everything myself, it will take more time to get it done. The trade-off is of course always control/speed vs convenience, but C is definitely too inconvenient for me.
Not that limited. Limited means an old thin client, not a microcontroller. I already set up a small web server on a pi pico with mpy, so it’s quite impressive. But from what I understand, the interop with “MacroPython” is not that great.
Did you use mpy for x86 devices? Are the limitations worth it?
But that would mean either using Graal/native image or going full Scala, right?
I only used Scala for Gatling, where it’s obviously very java-y.
There’s nothing to really grow. It’s mostly just small helpers. Aggregate sensor data, pull data from A and push it to B every hour, a small dashboard, etc.
C is too involved for my case , I want to be productive after all.
Rust is already rather low level, though there are some cool looking frameworks.
The long-term goal is for Rust to overtake C in the kernel (from what I understand
Your understanding wrong. Rust is limited to some very specific niches within the kernel and will likely not spread out anytime soon.
critical code gets left untouched (a lot of the time) because no one wants to be the one that breaks shit
The entire kernel is “critical”. The entire kernel runs - kind of by definition - in kernel space. Every bug there has the potential for privilege escalation or faults - theoretically even hardware damage. So following your advice, nobody should every touch the kernel at all.
Germany has a Sovereign Tech Fund for exactly this, and while it’s not perfect, it’s one of the better uses of my tax euros.
That’s not what I mean.
This company is a scheme to finance Trump’s campaign from foreign sources. The foreign investors are “suckers”, in the sense that they lost money on their investment, but they still achieved their goal: funneling money to Trump.
All the retail investors and MAGA heads are just collateral damage.
Not “unfortunately”, but rather “exactly as intended”.
This entire business is essentially a money laundering scheme.
What frightens me about all of that is how many people don’t see through that bullshit. It’s so extremely obvious how full of shit these demagogues are, but millions of people applaud for that.
Here in Germany we had state elections. On the “anniversary” of the invasion of Poland ⅓ voted for an openly right-wing extremist party, and 10-15% for a party that basically claims to combine the national with the social, both parties are supported by Russia. It’s insane.
Germany has Spaghetti ice cream, but that’s at least real ice cream just made to look like spaghetti.
