Anyone remember the time when “big data” was supposed to be the next big thing?

That’s good to know! And just unlocking the bootloader doesn’t void the warranty on most phones, does it?

Are launchers reasonably fast nowadays? I think the last time I put one on my phone was around 2014 and I removed it very quickly because the slight lags and delays at every corner really annoyed me. I’ve never used iOS, but I guess I could get used to it if it means not having excessive lag when using it haha

Which of the two OS did you like more from a usability standpoint? :o

That’s interesting, thank you for the input! The mention of bank apps is really helpful, I didn’t realize before that not having my bank app would be a complete deal breaker for me.

Interesting, that’s good to know! Is iodéOS significantly better than eOS or just a marginal improvement? Getting it pre-installed seems to be about 100€ more expensive, I’m not sure if that’s worth it for me (and I’m unwilling to flash an OS myself)

:(

Another soul lost

Dude I WISH an AI would do all the dumb AWS crap for me so that I could just hang out and build React frontends all day

We use those too! The weather forecasting models are really important for calculating prices in the German Energy market. My company is even paying people extra for learning Fortran to do these tasks. It’s really weird to talk to 20-something y/o people who actively use Fortran.

This thread randomly came across my timeline, so yeah why not!

Does anyone have any good resources on “general” cyber security information? Like total Cybersecurity 101 stuff, especially for mid to large sized company infrastructure? I’ve done a bit in school but I could totally use a refresher on all of the concepts.

Officially, I was put into the Role of “Cloud Security Engineer” at work. No one really knows what that means yet, the Roles were handed out last August. There are some AWS specific resources on that and they’re nice and all, but they kind of assume that general security knowledge already exists. I’m a bit in over my head I think lol

Kil’n People by David Brin - it’s a futuristic Murder Mystery Novel about a society where people copy their consciousnesses to temporary clay clones to do mundane tasks for them. Got some really interesting discussions about what constitutes personhood!

My homeoffice setup is right next to a window, so it’s too bright for dark mode during the summer. So I work in light mode from about April-September and in dark mode for the rest of the year

JS is absolute chaos programming and I love that way too much. You can just feel all the caffeine ingested by the guy who had to pull long nights to ship JS within 10 days. That’s exactly the vibe I’m going for with my code.

You’re right! That’s actually a really cool point about Generator functions too, them having while(true) loops is very unproblematic :D

I’m correcting myself to:

function* sorry() { while(true){ yield "I'm sorry"; } }

I’ll do you one better

function* sorry() { yield "I'm sorry"; }

Call sorry.next().value as many times as you need to baby, hell you can even use it in a for-of loop because Generator functions are Iterable. I fucking love JavaScript

AI needs training data.

ESLint has entered the room

Give me both and wash it down with some Prolog goddammit

Hoffentlich hast du ein Smartmeter oder einen sonstigen Stromzähler der überhaupt auf Zeit achtet und sich runterdrehen kann lol

Wird heutzutage zum Glück immer seltener, aber wenn ich einen Euro für jede alte Person hätte, die stolz “Wir waschen und trocknen nur nachts, da ist der Stom billiger” behauptet und dann einen von den standard Zählern hat der nur 1x im Jahr abgelesen wird…
