Thanks for your suggestions: Can confirm start/end bytes are wrong. Tried to open in Shotwell, GIMP, Firefox, Google Chrome w/o results.
I assume the hard drive is ok: I also have some git repositories on the drive and the checksums for git are correct. Every other file on the drive is ok, so cryptolocker malware could have only been on my phone at that time.
Thanks, great write-up!
This! So great when simmering/cooking stuff one has to fish out of a pot. Mine is used almost daily at home!
Perhaps for perspective, because ‘rich’ is relative and I am always surprised how hard it is to forget that every person/class lives in a world of their own.
When I was studying, I had to work to support myself, coming from a working class background. My whole time at the university was like visit mandatory courses, study, work and use weekends to study some more/do classwork. My parents could neither help me financially or with advice.
I meet a study friend from a normal ‘middle class’ background on the street. He would spent many weekends to do short trips, go sailing, visit family, … perfectly fine and I am happy he could afford to live like that. During our conversation he mentioned casually, that he was going on a multi week vacation, because ‘Sometimes you just need to get out and see something else.’. He didn’t mean it in bad faith, I just felt like shit because at that time I haven’t had vacation for multiple years.
Now, I am perfectly fine with my friend living a good life. What really gets to me, though, is that for example the middle class takes all their privileges for granted and nowadays you can suddenly read in newspapers discussions, if it is still worth to go work if you cannot even afford to buy your own flat/house. Where I live, working class couldn’t afford to buy a flat/house for decades now, but there was never a discussion whether it would still be worth for the working class to work. The discussion is more about how to force the working class to work more for less.
WTF, is there no death sentence in Japan for crimes against humanity and the damage done to rich peoples bottom line? /s
Nah, didn’t mind the meme!
I totally accept that Eclipse doesn’t work for and life is too short to waste it on tooling.
In that sense, good luck with your current & future setups and happy coding! :-)
Eclipse has its share of problems (and outdated UI and workflows), still I’ll happily use it over IntelliJ w/o hesitation.
Funnily enough, a lot of other (Java)Senior developers who tried both are fine with Eclipse, too.
Besides the astroturfing from IDEA which is really annoying, Eclipse integrates far better with standard build tools and is our last descend Open Source IDE (Netbeans effectively being a zombie at this time).
IDEA is already pushing/forcing their own solutions/build tools/etc. to up sell their shit, once Eclipse is gone, there will be no alternative and IDEA/IntelliJ will start the entshittifaction…
People really forgot what a shit show were the 90s, paying lots of money for commercial IDEs.
Golangs web server is production grade and used in production. (Of course everyone uses some high performance proxy like NGINX for serving static pages, that’s another story.)
Technically you are right that java has no production web server, which I don’t like, OTOH Java has standard APIs WebServers and Spring is the defacto standard for web applications. (I totally would not mind to move Spring into the OpenJDK.)
My point is simple: Instead of having Rust edtion 2020, 2021 etc. and tweaking the syntax ad infinitum, I’d rather have a community which invests in a good/broad standard library and good tooling.
The only platform widely used in production w/o a big standard library is Node.js/JavaScript, mostly for historical reasons and look at the problems that Node.js has for a decade now because of the missing standard library.
Easily, just look at the standard libraries of Java/Python and Golang! :-P
To get one thing out of the way: Each standard library has dark corners with bad APIs and outdated modules. IMHO it is a tradeoff, and from my experience even a bad standard library works better than everyone reinvents their small module. If you want to compare it to human languages: Having no standard library is like agreeing on the English grammar, but everyone mostly makes up their own words, which makes communication challenging.
My examples of missing items from the Rust standard library (correct me, if I am wrong, not a Rust user for many reasons):
Things I don’t know about if they are provided by a Rust standard library:
My point is, to provide good enough defaults in a standard library which everybody knows/are well documented and taught. If someone has special needs, they always can come up with a library. Further, if something in the standard library gets obsolete, it can easily be deprecated.
Digital, unless I really want the book and it is only analog.
The analog form factor of books is IMHO much nicer, and I understand everyone who doesn’t like digital books.
Stil, for me going digital beats analog:
I also have to say, Amazon really earned all the critic it gets, but their Kindle apps and physical devices are awesome. It is easy to buy DRM free books and read/sync them with Amazon kindle infrastructure (send to device etc.).
THIS.
I do not get why people don’t learn from Node/NPM: If your language has no exhaustive standard library the community ends up reinventing the wheel and each real world program has hundreds of dependencies (or thousands).
Instead of throwing new features at Rust the maintainers should focus on growing a trusted standard library and improve tooling, but that is less fun I assume.
Just to be more specific, from your link the operations with operands from low registers “zpg zeropage OPC $LL operand is zeropage address (hi-byte is zero, address = $00LL)” looks like exactly the stuff I am interested in. It seems to me, that they are like 256 (slower) pseudo registers.
Thank you very much for your answer. I totally agree and understand why modern CPUs have registers. But what about low end/cheap (embedded?) hardware, any design/board/CPU w/o registers?
Thank you very much for your answer! :-)
I would also assume, that at least 1-3 registers are ‘always’ in a CPU, like instruction pointer, top of stack for stack machines or for modern CPUs frame pointers.
For the NES, as far as I understand, you can also operate on the lower memory addresses with the CPU by simply referring to their address.
In the end, what triggered my question is the (banal) insight, that one actually does not need registers from computer science point of view and I am wondering if there are any implementations.
(Obviously for speed reasons alone one wants registers…)
Second Mac OS, what the literal fuck! Brain damaged window management, inferior software update management and a bastard of a *NIX environment.
Yes, sorry about the acting, but IMHO Chalamet’s acting is quite wooden.
I totally agree that the movie looks very good, that’s part of the high production values I mentioned.
Concerning the characters, we seem also to be in agreement: I would have loved to see more of the non Femen factions, their motivations and pressures.
Anyway, thank you very much for your input, as mentioned somewhere else, I’ll have to watch the first Dune again, perhaps I’ll find a liking for it in the second try.
Thanks, Trigun is airing on Netflix right now, looking forward to watch it!
Thank you very much for your perspective, I’ll watch the first part again and see if I can discover this ‘reading’ of it!
Just for clarification, so you enjoy Villeneuve’s Dune movies?
No worries and thanks a lot for your suggestions/answers!
