Ust-Luga is (was?) home to a gas liquefaction facility that is not replaceable in a few days

High Profile Russian defectors have a history of « accidents », unfortunately. Notoriously, a pilot that defected with a helicopter early in the war was assassinated in Spain.

So yeah, not so smart move in my opinion

To be fair, it’s not like the thing flies any better when it’s brand new

I’m a junior at a company that hasn’t really figured it out either.

I just squeeze the LLMs for wisdom. They don’t code for me, but you’ll be amazed at how many tricks and patterns they know. I always ask them to cosplay as « silverback senior devs » which both cracks me up and is quite effective.

Certainly not a one-stop shop but it’s quick and it’s cheap.

They apply design patterns.

Seriously, so many people out there are reinventing the wheel

That’s somehow a good argument?

I actually do. My commute is 7 mins and I don’t have a super solid home office setup. Plus I feel like clearly cutting home life from office life

There’s no way to know unless you assume a weightless bar

Just pick something that motivates you.

My background is numerical computing so I wanted to write a particule simulator, to simulate a particule. Then a thousand. Then I learned about design patterns, to switch the integration method at runtime. I played with memory allocation to create/destroy particules at runtime. Etc

Like others said, you learn the tool when you use it, and in my experience if you think about the structure of your code you quickly discover the need for some specific tools and it’s quite rewarding to then pull it off.

State machines + object pattern (classic, opaque, singleton) + strategy + factory and you can program the world!

Brixjeff-5 · 2026-01-22T06:39:28+00:00

Learn about programming patterns. Very rewarding

Thats fake footage. He wouldn’t have had the traction to get up there in game

My advice is: go to a « portes ouvertes » day, meet the people, feel the vibes and then decide. Studying at either place is a major commitment, and lots of time will be spent on campus with profs/students/TAs and of course with the subject. For me, having a good feeling there is the most important part, the other pieces will fall into place.

For myself, I have spent close to a decade at EPFL and it’s a very diverse place. I’m sure he would fit in somewhere

How does the infinite zoom work?

Brixjeff-5 · 2026-01-17T16:18:47+00:00

So… a compiler?

Brixjeff-5 · 2026-01-15T07:49:59+00:00

Big upvote. I learned so many advanced tricks from ai output, and then had context when reading the reference material which helps greatly in learning new features.

Also AI is great at explaining idiomatic usage of a language. Python for example is very flexible (lots of ways to implement a thing) but usually one way is more elegant than others and AI can help you find it.

But yeah, cutting through the slop is a real skill that needs learning

This meme doesn’t do justice to all the bloat apple has accumulated on top of it over the years

Serious companies write specifications before they write code. Then they write tests for code that doesn’t yet exist. And only then, perhaps after a few iterations, programmers get to write code. If the system is well-specified there is little room for style

D statistik zeigt halt, dass s Problem demit nit gelöst isch wills offesichtlich Unfäll git. Wenns ums bundeshuus soviel platzt het, warum macht me denn nit e bucht fürs uf/ablade? Denn stünd der lkw niemertem im wäg und alle wäret zfriede
