How can it be profitable? Surely the energy cost would surpass that value of a single search?

First paragraphs in the article

Writing a package manager is not one of the most common programming tasks. After all, there are many out-of-the-box ones available. Yet, somehow I’ve found myself in exactly this situation.

How so?

I’m a big fan of SQLite and its extensions. Given the large number of such extensions in the wild, I wanted a structured approach to managing them. Which usually involves, well, a package manager. Except there is none for SQLite. So I decided to build one!

University students get free pro licenses for jetbrains IDEs I think

It’s just a variation of typosquatting as the author themself acknowledge. I always have to double check the package name when installing a new package. This just seems like a natural variation of it.

Yes, I’m sure reopening coal plants and displacing villages to mine coal is a better environmental policy.

And are you suggesting that the West wouldn’t be able to build cheaper and faster nuclear power plants even if we had actually invested in the technology for all these years? Is nuclear technology some unicorn that can’t be improved with experience and research?

Building times are to be measured in decades.

Should probably have invested more into developing their knowledge and experience then. Just have a look at China.

Littering vast spaces of land for wind and sun power generation is hardly a better long term solution.

This sort of reminds me of the library where someone implemented classes in elixir. It sounds like a fun project to do, but is there any utility in this?

I like python, but I wouldn’t want anywhere near my elixir code

So you mean debugging then?

I genuinely don’t get the point you’re trying to make? What exactly is the problem with supplying fuel to ships that are docked in Norway?

A lot of famous scientists make their breakthroughs at fairly young age, before their mind gets locked into a certain paradigm. Look up Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, which forwards some interesting ideas on how science is conducted.

According to russian over at r/hardware GPUs have become cheaper in Russia since the ban as they are now being smuggled instead of imported via Europe with all extra cost that implies.

Can’t say I recommend

The market don’t care what either of us think, investors will do what investors do, speculate.

It’s difficult to take your comment serious when it’s clear that all you’re saying seems to based on ideological reasons rather than real ones.

Besides that, a lot of the value is derived from the market trying to figure out if/what company will develop AGI. Whatever company manages to achieve it will easily become the most valuable company in the world, so people fomo into any AI company that seems promising.

I wrote a slur detection script for lemmy, copilot refused to run unless I removed the “common slurs” list from the file. There are definitely keywords or context that will shut down the service. Could even be regionally dependant.

Not really. Just stay away from the capital/Oslo.

Weird, they used the latest version of C++ at my university. Had to use Assembly and C in embedded though.

I don’t want to get into an Internet argument over pedantry. Linter is often used as a catch-all term for static analysis tools.

Wikipedia defines it as

Lint is the computer science term for a static code analysis tool used to flag programming errors, bugs, stylistic errors and suspicious constructs.

Catching type errors and attribute errors would fit under this description, if you use a different, more precise definition at your workplace, cool, then we just have different definitions for it. The point is that your IDE should automatically detect the errors regardless of what you call it.
