anton , to World News in Two of the German military’s new spy satellites appear to have failed in orbit

spy satellites > spys > conflicts caused by information mismatch

anton , to AnarchyChess in Magnus needs to step up his game

He can never catch up to you.

anton , to Technology in India to mandate USB-C connectors on smartphones and laptops by 2026

Well, apart from the free movement of people and goods, the common currency, the gdpr, the international students and the consumer protection what has the EU ever done for us?

Brought peace.

Uh peace, shut up.

anton , to Programmer Humor in Explaining software development methods by flying to Mars

What is the methodology called where you:

Plan to go to orbit, blow up seconds into the flight, and declare it a success.

Plan to refuel in orbit, make it minutes before the rocket brakes. Fire the FTS, it fails, the rocket blows up a minute later und declare it a successful test of the FTS.

Argue to NASA that you are not the limiting factor to the moon mission planed for the end of the year, despite delivering none of the milestones.

FTS = flight termination system

anton , to Programmer Humor in Derisking a project 1 year out

I think Dylan Beattie once said: If you don't have a plan, how can you choose not to follow it?

anton , to No Stupid Questions in Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows?

I had quite the opposite experience in the alps, we have hiked within meters cows because the heard was laying and standing on the path. I have never seen very young calves or bulls on the mountains.

Websites have grown beyond mere scripting.
Rust is about more than just nicer pointers, it has a very expressive type system that enables correctness rarely seen outside FP.

anton , to Programmer Humor in Programming as a hobby means I can do whatever I want!

Instead of

if let Some(a_) = a{
    ()
} else if let Some(b_)=b{
    ()
} else {
    dostuff 
}

you could just use

if a.isNone()&&b.isNone(){
    dostuff
}

Also if you don't use the value in a match just use _

anton , to Technology in Texas power prices briefly soar 1,600% as a spring heat wave is expected to drive record demand for energy

The system works great all year round but what it delivers is not electricity...

anton , to Technology in Why mathematics is set to be revolutionized by AI

The absence of coincidence

Look up the strong law of small numbers.

Also, one of their examples of AI was an exhaustive search.

anton , to World News in Activists Attempt to Storm Tesla Gigafactory in Germany

EVs only eliminate tail pipe pollution, otherwise they are more of the same.
They are multi ton metal boxes rolling on rubber wheels over asphalt roads, often to transport a single person. The create the same amount of traffic and waste the same amount of land on parking. Due to their heavy battery and better acceleration they create more fine particulates of wheel rubber.

EV are a Verkehrsrichtungsänderung, a Verkehrswende consists of trains and public transit.

anton , to Programmer Humor in New language

Look at me, I have a friend at bell labs.
We had to use vacuum tubes, and we liked it.

anton , to Programmer Humor in Should it just be called JASM?

Actual assembly in mainstream use:
x86
arm
risc v

mainstream byte code:
jvm
.net (I think)
wasm

fake assembly people may write:
llvm
wasm

wat (web assembly text) is actually written is S-expressions, like lisp but without code as data.

Edit: formatting

anton , to Programmer Humor in Uh...oh...

Show me the regex for the language L = {a^n b^n | n in N}
