I’m invested because higher adoption of my preferred platform causes prices of said platform to drop, making the platform economically attractive to develop for.

Fewer users causes less effort to go into the platform by larger corporations due to lower revenue streams, diminishing updates and feature count over time.

Eventually, users leave due to pain points not being addressed. Shrinking user bases causes independent developer talent to focus on other platforms since the economics no longer work in the marginal case.

The shrinking independent developer contributions to the ecosystem make the required effort to develop for it that much higher, since the tools and apps that would have been built weren’t.

Higher development costs slow down feature pacing, due to the increased effort needed to substitute the efforts of missing ecosystem developers.

Lack of feature cadence drives users to other platforms, shrinking the user base, bringing us back to step 1.

Carbon steel loses 70% of its strength at 800 degrees though.

From other discussions I’ve seen, the guy stepping down was frustrated by having C code rejected that made lifetime guarantees more explicit. No rust involved. The patch was in service of rust bindings, but there was 0 rust code being reviewed by maintainers.

Death road to Canada

I’m a developer. Most of the time when I contact IT it’s because they broke something I rely on, like our vCenter appliance or network communications between some Linux appliances with static IPs.

I can get my dick sucked every few hours all week.

Caveat: by men

Solidly millennial.

What’s the efficiency for turning jet fuel into mechanical work? I’d suspect the efficiency is somewhere around 45% for liquid fuel where it’s nearly 100% for electric. So you’re really trying to reach the equivalent of 5500 Wh/kg.

Yep it only took 1000 allu akbars to get my mechanical engineering degree 🤡

Here’s an industry talk about how to prey on whales

I’m an engineer in a totally different industry but I want to know what the numbers are

Nah, just zig zag away from where you plugged it in and it’s never a problem.

A building from 1841 is still here from the French.

I mowed my grass with a corded mower for a decade until the motor bearing finally disintegrated. Cost me $100 and one blade replacement. No small gas engine was ever that reliable for me

Medication meaning the epilepsy is now effectively treated and he hasn’t had a seizure since.

He got medicated

I believe it. A childhood friend of mine had totaled like 7 (very cheap) cars by the time he turned 25.

After a particularly brutal crash, he was diagnosed with epilepsy after having an absence seizure in the presence of an ER nurse.

Hasn’t wrecked since.

Besides getting medicated, I started using this website called goblin.tools - it uses chat GPT to break down tasks into tiny steps. You can do each step recursively, until it’s something you can finally make your brain do. That way it gets rid of the executive function planning step so that you’re not exhausted by the time you start whatever you’re doing.
