@litchralee
Thank you!
i didn't expect serious answers here, but this was a nice read,

so the various jobs around computers were kind of obsoleted, but the job description just shifted and the title remained valid most of the times,

now i'm interested to see what we'll do 20 years from now rather than just being annoyed by the "don't learn ${X}, it's outdated" guys

@scrubbles
cool

but it's always been some company hyping their new product and suits frothing at the prospect of not having to pay me anymore

i half expected it, after all it's what's happening right now

What I'm doing now is for sure not what I was doing 10 years ago.

that's right, i guess some aspects of programming have really been made obsolete

 

Hi, this is a question that popped into my mind when i saw an article about some AWS engineer talking about ai assistants taking over the job of programmers, this reminded me that it's not the first time that something like this was said.

My software engineering teacher once told me that a few years ago people believed graphical tools like enterprise architect would make it so that a single engineer could just draw a pretty UML diagram and generate 90% of the project without touching any code,
And further back COBOL was supposed to replace programmers by letting accountants write their own programs.

Now i'm curious, were there many other technologies that were supposedly going to replace programmers that you remember?

i hope someone that's been around much more than me knows something more or has some funny stories to share

 

i was doing some research on some no-name earbuds i own and it turns out they are made by some moldull company,
and in their product pages
like this one
they list "Impedance ohm value: 32Ω" in the specs, but why does it matter if you aren't plugging them in your own amplifier?

@anzo

an unholy ensemble of 4 external drives and 2 cloud storage providers managed with git annex
capacity: 3 TB + "pay as you go"
available: 1TB
used: 1.01TB
the drives were originally 5, then 1 failed and added the "pay as you go" s3 provider to pick up the slack
git annex handles redundancy and versioning, i configured it to keep 2 copies of every file across the 4 drives and the s3 provider, then i got 1tb of free onedrive space from my university and i'm in the process of making a full backup of everything in there
not really backup as much as redundant storage, but i think it's close enough

if anyone wants to roast my setup please do

 

a few days ago i saw a post on the reddit datahoarder community asking how to backup keys and other small files for a long time.
it reminded me of a script i made some time ago to save my otp secrets in case of loss of device or a reenactment of the raivo otp incident,
so i decided to make it public on github, hope someone here finds it useful

the density is not great, about 1kB per A4 page, but it can recover from losing up to half of the printed surface and, if stored properly, paper should last very long

Schena lied about being on a shortlist for the Nobel Prize

Seriamente?
Un "candidato a premio Nobel"?

Ai dischi serve davvero la cache?

È una curiosità che mi è venuta recentemente quando stavo facendo spesa,
Vedo che la maggior parte dei "dischi" (sia HDD che SSD) che vedo presentano una certa quantità di "cache DRAM",
Da quel che so serve a migliorare le prestazioni, mantenendo blocchi utilizzati di frequente in una memoria più veloce, e, per gli SSD, a ridurre i cicli di scrittura sulla memoria flash.

Ma qualcosa di simile se non mi sbaglio lo fanno anche sistemi operativi come linux e windows, mantenendo in memoria file letti e scritti di recente, quindi mi chiedo, fa davvero molta differenza avere o no una cache anche sul "disco" al di fuori di benchmark, come crystaldiskmark, che disabilitano esplicitamente la cache del sistema operativo?

@AnxiousDuck

Da quel che ho capito nessuno l'ha ancora specificato, però questi due metodi mi sembrano plausibili

Metodo 1: rendere illegali applicazioni con crittografia e2e,

Metodo 2: richiedere che ogni applicazione con crittografia e2e mandi una copia in chiaro di ogni messaggio alla polizia postale prima che venga crittografato

It's an online rpg with an open world
Still in pre-alpha , so much of the content isn't finished, but it's already visually stunning for a voxel game and the gameplay is already quite enjoyable

Mi fai ripensare al giorno di scuole aperte in cui sono andato a vedere il liceo, avevano fatto uno spettacolo carino con i droni nella palestra, io da bravo ciambotto non vedevo l'ora di imparare a controllarli a scuola, poi una volta iscritto ho scoperto che potevamo usarli solo nei giorni di scuole aperte per farli vedere ai ragazzini delle medie.
