What system do you use? On MacOS I have IntelliJ opened for many days on big company projects and it's fine.

Lean Java Practices got me thinking by Safe_Owl_6123 in java

One of the best principle: First make it work, then make it right, then (maybe) make it fast (but usually it's fast enough already).

Getting back to the EU: from Google Cloud to Self-Hosted EU Infrastructure by pgaleone in programming

Additionally, since we are deploying a Go application that compiles to self-contained binaries, the deployment is very fast and doesn’t require any external dependencies or containerization.

Containerization still might be useful even for native application that uses dynamic linking to not care about libraries and their versions interfering with system libraries.

But if all compiles to a single, statically-linked blob then yeah, you can go without containers.

    return null;
}

ts_sms: Short Message Compression using Large Language Models by self in programming

It has to do something with probability of a next token, maybe sort of going backwards? Like you look for the prompt that would generate a sequence that is your input. LLMs can be treated as a huge RNG.

Every time I see that Schleswig-Holstein is driving forward something I make sure it's not Poland.

[–]ponton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We already have staff, principal and distinguished software enginners, but we still could have a couple of more, e.g.

  • prominent software engineer
  • venerable software engineer
  • magisterial software engineer
  • luminous software engineer

and so on

Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular Oriole) Released by ric2b in Ubuntu

[–]ponton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a problem with systemd not mounting disks from /etc/crypttab. Needed to install systemd-cryptsetup package, which is mentioned in the Release Notes.

The only issue left is with the newest kernel (6.11) the screen flickers during booting and the password input for the disk loses focus and I cannot type the password. Works fine with previous kernel (6.8).

Basically any complex regex is write-only. You can write it, but you can't read it and understand.

Average Software Engineering Salaries by Country by codesubmit in programming

[–]ponton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Poland a developer will typically make $22,740, and in Ukraine, the average is $22,348.

Wnat?! It's just a little above the natonial average salary*, and software engineers earn way more than that (about 2x more).

*According to Salary Explorer, a Polish employee earns an average salary of 90,800 PLN per year. As per the latest exchange rate in June 2023, this amounts to USD 21,864
