Re:The unreasonable effectiveness of print debugging on Saturday April 24, 2021 @01:10PM (#26926501)
Java debugger can easily drop frames which helps tremendously in going over a function multiple times.

Hot code replacement, which I have already and still use since 2005 works very well as well.

In php, debugger are half as good but code replacement works immediately.

I would rarely use print debugging and in Java never.

We are at the beginning of ev and you already can buy them at affordable prices just not yet in every category.

Give it time. Right now a ton of money gets invested into batteries and co.

When you look how much impact proper market penetration is for prices (see smartphones, solar energy etc.) It will come and fast.

The world is not black and white.

I find those experiments until a certain threshold okay.

1 day: no problem here 20 days: still no issue.

Life doesn't start just because we let a biological machine execute something.

Re:The real reason to end the death penalty on Saturday April 24, 2021 @04:55AM (#26923418)
I thought about this topic for decades now.when I was 16 I thought you should murder a murderer.

I thought a lot about moral and ethics, the balance between being right and no right exists.

So I do believe your thinking can and might change in the future.

Your torture example still ignores the history of the torturer. Would you like to be killed after this from a society which had it easier and better then you and did not help you? Is that really fair to anyone?

Do you believe in a god? Would you assume jesus would let you in after that? (I'm not religious, I do think so that either it's a good god and it doesn't matter believing in her but your actions)

Do you believe that we are in a simulation? What if you wake up in your next life as a murderer?

There are so many potential thoughts which we haven't thought through that removing a murderer from society to prison is the best choice we have as long as it is a prison who tries to rehabilitate a person.

It's not a helpful comparison if you compare a chip from 2016 with a chip from 2020.

You would need to benchmark it against a current chip from someone else.

Re:The real reason to end the death penalty on Thursday April 22, 2021 @03:07PM (#26906815)
I don't want to kill someone. I don't know if or why a person became a murderer.

It could be their upbringing which should be the responsibility of the society and clearly the society failed.

It could be a medical issue. A biological one.

It could be that the murderer did nothing wrong in their worldview.

We have to understand this as a society. We have to teach it if people don't understand it.

I still don't think it is okay to end the life of another human being.
Re:How to find a job as Software Developer in Germany on Thursday April 22, 2021 @12:55PM (#26904998)
In the last 10 years I have seen prices and still see them here around munich 100km radius where it just gets more expensive.

I ask that question and I make now nearly 6 figures.

Before it was passible to buy a flat and pay it off, now prices are where you wanna sell it in 30 years or so.

And no one is probably trusting it really.

Btc is small and my point I made with the assumption that bitcoin has real influence.

Re:SolarBatteryBitcoin on Thursday April 22, 2021 @12:42PM (#26904828)
It's just an easy example of disproving your argument.

Bringing up immigration is just a reference on today and what will come due to thinking that we as a society don't depend on decision from others.

It's a global problem with global implications for all of us.

And no co2 hurts us more than it helps us.

Re:SolarBatteryBitcoin on Thursday April 22, 2021 @09:34AM (#26902537)
Yes let's ignore that I'm living on the same planet as you do and it doesn't affect myself and my family.

Right?

And no we don't live in a society where this doesn't matter. You are not allowed to do with your money whatever you want.

Buying a hitman: illegal in most of the world.

And you do understand that it is hypocritical to create a ton of co2 and making farming in other countries really hard and complaining later about immigrants. Just putting it in perspective

Re:SolarBatteryBitcoin on Thursday April 22, 2021 @05:39AM (#26900697)
And who will invest in batteries or other direct useful power usage if burning it through asic's is just making more money?

No one :(

Re:SolarBatteryBitcoin on Thursday April 22, 2021 @05:36AM (#26900682)
Independently of this, bitcoin will never run on just dump load energy.
Re:SolarBatteryBitcoin on Thursday April 22, 2021 @05:35AM (#26900672)
That money should be used to invest in real energy storage and not burning it through asics and useless calculations.

That would break bitcoin very fast.

No american will continue to infest in bitcoin if the majority of miners is in china only

Snapchat actually entertain people and has some kind of value.

Bitcoin burns resources for a handful people. A tremendous amount. It doesn't provide jobs in comparison to snapchat and other services.

And independent of snapchat: feel free to see snapchat as a resource waste but that doesn't make bitcoins better.
