Not in any way a new phenomenon, there's a reason fizzbuzz was invented, there's been a steady stream of CS graduates who can't code their way out of a wet paper bag ever since the profession hit the mainstream.
Actually fucking interview your candidates, especially if you're sourcing candidates from a country with for-profit education and/or rote learning cultures, both of which suck when it comes to failing people who didn't learn anything. No BS coding tests go for "explain this code to me" kind of stuff, worst case they can understand code but suck at producing it, that's still prime QA material right there.
I'm perfectly comfortable with C, it's a neat, small, language. I actually understand the whole of the semantics (at least the POSIX ones). I also happen to speak x86 assembly quite fluently (as long as it's not SIMD noone speaks that fluently, last time I actually wrote assembly in earnest x87 was still relevant). The thing is though I'm more comfortable with Rust, even if I don't understand absolutely everything: Because it's less mental load. I don't need to worry about so many things at once, don't have to keep a thousand assumptions in mind that that pieces of code I'm not currently working on are making.
No, driving a unicycle instead of the metro doesn't make you a better commuter. It makes you a better unicycle driver.
It does somewhat resemble the halftone dithering patterns that commonly occur in manga, but this is supposed to be cross-hatched otherwise the fringes wouldn't be lines.
The top right one is definitely not drawn by a human, it's right out hexagons. Noone cross-hatches like that because you can't cross-hatch like that there's no lines going straight through.
The rest could be artistic choice, compression artifacts, or other stuff though. Well, some minor stuff, the topmost book on the left pile on the desk on the right is sus, and there's way too many sponges at the base of the chalkboard. But none of them are dead tells like the hexagons.
Something something Emmanuel Todd and endogamous communal family structures, the tight internal clan bonds competing with and thus preventing the creation of a strong overarching identities vs. almost exclusively non-communal structures in Europe (and where there's communalism it's not as strong as in the Arab world, and definitely not endogamous), leading to strong overarching civil societies and identities. Very different assumptions about how society should be organised on a very fundamental, structural, level.
In those terms Europe is culturally way closer to e.g. Japan (just as much stem family structures as e.g. Ireland and lots of Scandinavian and German regions, some in France) than we are to the Arab world. Arabs actually integrating here means, for them, to flip an internal switch, saying something like "oh now my clan is my region, and my profession a secondary one", and that is hard to do because a) you don't actually know most of those people, while you know at least about everyone in your original clan, and b) you're in a foreign land, not understanding what binds people together even though they might not know each other directly, also c) your family clan is still expecting you to be part of it, and not just in the "come to your cousin's marriage" way. Lots of non-prejudicial cultural friction that especially people from absurdly individualist societies like the US don't understand because they don't have an overarching society in the first place. Both sides think the other is weird AF.
40 is three million more than Ukraine, both in between Spain and Poland. Having a couple more mid-sized countries would enable integration of Turkey which eeks out Germany in terms of population.
There's already EU territory with 110V systems, even 60Hz, or more precisely said Guyana is a clusterfuck of different systems. Standardisation would be nice but it does have limited market impact so the EU is comfortable to just not. Also the main reason European stoves won't work as intended in Canada isn't 220V, you do have 220V, but because they're expecting three 220V phases to be fully powered, they can pull up to 13kW with everything at full tilt. Most can be configured to draw less and be hooked up to a single phase, though, you could use those. Modern DC converters don't mind the differing voltages and frequencies in the first place and with DC motors being quite popular making e.g. a blender dual-voltage is actually quite simple, which leaves us with things like hair dryers and I mean who cares.
Taiwan is the island, also known as Formosa, and it is ruled by the Republic of China. Separately, but still part of that state, there's the autonomous mainland provinces, calling themselves the People's Republic of China, a rebel faction which somehow steadfastly refuses to declare independence.
When you have a paper that's pretty much a succession of "Lemma:" "Proof:" "Theorem:" and "Proof:" and no benchmark chart then yes it's a theoretical one.
The PC industry has been trying to get rid of those 3.3V and 5V rails for over a decade now, trying to get everyone on board with 12V only. The only hold-out in a modern PC should be SATA, at 5V, the mainboard already doesn't care and GPUs definitely don't. Also no -12V any more. Any year now, not that SATA will die that quickly but the mainboard knows how many SATA connectors it has and can provide sufficient 5V to power your disks.
Socialism with Dessaline characteristics is, to the best of my knowledge, the ideology of lemmygrad. You know, abolish slavery and then run plantations with forced labour is a very tankie thing to do. I'm sure both Dessalines, the emperor and the lemmy dev one, can explain to you how those two are completely different things.
Lemmygrad and tankies in general have military discipline while hexbear is a vibes-based mob. Authoritarians vs. virtue signallers, one taking over the other would mean popcorn for years.
Eh ECS is basically all about making SELECT ... FROM bar, baz WHERE bar.id == baz.id, joins on primary keys, as fast as possible and use it as often as possible. Games are real-time databases with gaudy user interfaces so it stands to reason that posgresql is a game with a bland user interface.
So.... who's outbidding them? Someone from tankiejerk? Or are their being taken over by lemmygrad, to be introduced to Socialism with Dessaline characteristics?
