  • Yeah, it’s easy to underestimate how big of a leap it is from a toy application to real-world usability. Not just in terms of security, but also:

    • useful error messages
    • logging / monitoring
    • configuration
    • building a distribution
    • deploying in a reproducible way
    • documentation
    • integration with existing infrastructure
    • data migration strategies
    • etc.

    This adds a lot of complexity, so you’ll need to learn additional complexity to be able to deal with it at all:

    • modularization
    • version control systems
    • software specifications (via unit/integration tests)
    • team communication
    • helper tooling, like package managers, linters etc.

    Learning about all this stuff takes years, especially if no one in your surroundings has much experience with any of it either. And professors don’t have the time to gain or retain this experience either, since they already have a different full-time job.

    My advice would be to get students to do internships or to take a job as a working student in a company/organization. Sometimes, these can be shitty for the students, but they can often provide significantly more real-world context than college ever could.






  • Ah, interesting. I went from garbage-collected languages where thinking about ownership might be useful for keeping complexity low and occasionally comes up when you manage lists of objects, but ultimately isn’t needed, to Rust where well-defined ownership is enforced by the language.

    So, I wasn’t aware that ownership is even as concrete of a thing in other languages…


  • I mean, they do have the infinite money glitch, a.k.a. being owned by Microsoft. If Microsoft’s investors think Fallout 5 will make its money back, it’s more lucrative to get started on it sooner rather than later.

    And it does also need to be said that they can’t keep remastering Fallout titles forever. They need to develop a new title at some point.

    Bethesda Game Studios has so far always only had one game in development at a time, which should be TES6 right now. If they are working on Fallout 5, we’re likely talking pre-production stages. So, it might very well be the case that the two remasters come out in roughly equal spacing before Fallout 5 comes out in a few years.

    A local shop here only has shopping carts, no baskets. You can get smaller shopping carts, and in fact even shopping carts for toddlers to push around, but you still need a coin for those.

    And yep, I’ve genuinely been stood in front of that shop and went back home, because I didn’t have an appropriate coin. I think, even twice already.
    I could have bought a small item to have them hand me out coins and then done another loop with the shopping cart, but yeah, there was just no way, I’d waste that much time.

    Yes, let’s call it “good eye” and not “damn, you really had this meme burnt into your terminally-online brain cells to the point where you’d recognize this random internet cat from a different picture”.
    That is a much better name, yes, haha.

    I feel like it’s a reasonable amount, if that’s the primary taste you want, which doesn’t instill a ton of confidence in me that hubbi actually likes the taste of eggs that much.

    Like, there’s healthier foods that carry this taste better, namely tomatoes. For proteins, a classic combination is white beans in tomato sauce…

    Geht eher darum, dass er sich dabei benimmt als wäre er der Geilste, obwohl er eben explizit nur der Drittgeilste ist. Z.B. tut er ja auch so, als würde er mit dem Biss prüfen, ob seine Medaille aus echtem Gold ist, obwohl es vermutlich nur eine Bronzemedaille ist…

    At first I thought, this was the same beats, just with staggered emphasis, but no, that’s 30 eighths in the timespan of 14 eighths.

    So, it’s like the bassoons are playing sixteenth notes, except that they’re decidedly not in sync with everyone else.
    At first it’ll sound like they’re too early. Then their offbeat sixteenth will sync up with the on-beat for everyone else. Then their offbeat will sound like it’s too early compared to the on-beat, until they sync up properly again. Well, and then you do that cycle a second time, because they have to fit two extra notes in there.

    Yeah, that does seem quite impossible to conduct, but even if you set up two metronomes, that’ll throw even good orchestras quite easily…

    Interesting. Presumably, enough of their customers now show up without the appropriate coins, due to electronic payment methods being available otherwise, that they decided to not require coins.

    Here in Germany, where we hold onto cash a bit more dearly due to our Stasi-past, I don’t know any shop where I can take a shopping cart without sticking a coin in…
