No objects and GC so far. I guess local variables are stored on the stack and for everything on the heap (globals, strings) the transpiler maps MSIL loads and stores to 6502 loads and stores.

Looks hard. I doubt I'd remember much practical knowledge from the course, only what the algorithms are used for (which is fine).

Honestly any interactive shell + unix tools + any scripting language you feel comfortable with should cover the majority of things you may want to do on the command line.

Message to the person responsible for the site: they should use code blocks instead of images for their code. I say this because I can't read the text inside the images from mobile. It's way too small.

I also read it a few days ago and for me it was very underwhelming. A disappointment for me was that Tolstoi was always looking for some perfection or regularity that would explain everything. It is arrogant of us to think that there should be something when as far as we can see there is only all that has ever been and nothing more. But I think there was a hidden theme there, which is something that many people who have read Nietzsche but also positive nihilists agree with: we give meaning to life. This was what Tolstoi found in tradition. A meaning that had been passed to new generations, evolving bit by bit but retaining it's essence. Only he couldn't stand that God was so ingrained in it.

Same situation for albanians but we use walnuts instead of almonds.

Wouldn't say simpler than LEGO as there are some nuances. For example:

* making sure the motherboard supports the CPU via socket and also nominally

* making sure the heatsink can be mounted on top of the CPU socket

* having the case fit your motherboard form factor

* if there is a dedicated GPU, making sure it fits inside the case and there is a PCI-E slot with sufficient lanes for it

* if not, making sure there is an integrated GPU

* selecting a PSU that can handle the maximum power load for the GPU and that has a power cable for the GPU if it needs one

* making sure to buy the right type of ram in accordance with what the CPU and motherboard support

* if you want wifi, making sure there is built-in or there is a m.2 slot for wifi

* if you want a m.2 NVMe SSD, there should be a m.2 slot with the right key interface

Not often you end up buying parts that don't work well with each other and need to buy other parts. I once bought a small factor m.2 ssd only to discover it didn't fit the slot. I think it was trying to fit an M key device into a B key slot. Sometimes even the vendor data can be incorrect.

Ask HN: The collapse of web programming jobs

besnn00 — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 17:03:55 +0000

What do you think about Jon Blow's comment* on the (eventual) collapse of web programming roles? Is it happening right now in the US? The reason why I ask this is because I have seen many developers here express difficulty in finding jobs. Could we be in an early stage of a market contraction related to web development roles?

It dominates among engineers too, mainly because of Simulink and the toolboxes it offers.

New comment by besnn00 in "When was the term ‘directory’ replaced by ‘folder’?"

besnn00 — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 07:31:16 +0000

It's likely because of the fact that folders are used as icons for directories.
