  • You should group your source files by domain, then by feature, e.g. 'src/foo/model' and 'src/foo/exports'.

    Is serialization/deserialization the only aim of these structures ? If not, that code should definitely be separated, so as to evolve separately from the structure itself.

    If it is the only aim, the code should also be separated, so you can change your serialization type (e.g. from JSON to XML) without impacting the model.

    Also you might need another export for compatibility with another software, and you don't want your model file to grow with the 10 formats you support.

  • "Hey, I didn't vote for that guy" complains person who voted for candidate who said "vote for me and you'll never have to vote again"

    Getting some leopards ate my face vibes from this one

  • Funny thing is, the way this is phrased seems to me the person complaining is part of the issue.

    The complete and absolute refusal that something is someone good may lie in the whole of the Trump administration is part of the issue. The extreme polarisation of dems vs reps is part of the issue, and the exact reason some voted trump, because, well, at least he's red.

    Not understanding that someone may recognize this, and speaking out about anyone who does, leads to more polarisation.

    And what happens with enough division ? What is to be gained to spew hatred on your fellow countrymen ?

    If you really think your opinion is superior, don't yell at others, explain and share. Don't judge hastily.

    In this post I don't see the proton CEO as a MAGA supporter, I see someone who recognizes something good in a context that cannot be changed. (Like it or not, Trump won and will be president legally for the next 4 years).

  • Well, to get humans to space today you have either the crew dragon on a SpaceX falcon 9, or a Soyouz.

    And relations with Russia are a bit tense nowadays, so if you are not Russian, there are currently no other options than SpaceX.

    Kinda looks like a monopoly, with another actor starting to compete (and SpaceX is historically very competitive on prices, so without huge government subsidies, I doubt Boeing would consider maintaining their crewed vehicle)

  • I'll explain as if your first language is not English.

    Dry means something that has no moisture in it, like sand can be dry or wet.

    Obviously something dry contains no moisture or liquids.

    A Martini is a cocktail, mixed from mostly gin and vermouth. In this context, dry means "little vermouth", so the taste of the gin is most prevalent.

    So the joke is between the two different meanings of the word, as obviously a dry cocktail makes no sense if you take the first meaning of the word.

  • I'm very sad they are closing shop, but I understand it.

    I find their last DLC awfully expensive, but I think I'll buy them anyway, as I really loved all their games (bought desperados 3 day 1, same for shadow gambit, and no regrets).

    Their games were crafted with love, and it shows. If you haven't, go and try them on, it's a fun genre.

    I started playing because I had nostalgia for the commandos games, but they really refined the gameplay and made the different difficulty modes so everyone can have fun.

  • Have you ever tried storing a string in an INTEGER column ?

    Due to a bug it happened in a software I worked on.

    SQLite just stores the string. I have no idea if the column type has any real effect on storage as far as SQLite is concerned.

  • I have a old gaming laptop that is not supported.

    Intel i7-7820HK, 4cores 8 threads 2.9Ghz.

    Released in 2017.

    That's not old-arse as far as I'm concerned, and I don't see the need for an upgrade. I'm going to install Linux on this PC because I have the know-how and desire to check out how electron fares. But I can see how that is not an option for everyone.

  • Regarding "the company made the new tech incompatible with the new tech to force people to buy the new", I'll invoke Hanlon's razor.

    I worked for a software company that was bought out by a microscope company, because they realized making a new software from scratch for each microscope was very expensive.

    They did not have the know-how to reuse the software.

    And yes. They were that bad at software, when they bought us out, colleagues of mine audited the software they were writing for their newest microscope, and it was so bad they threw out the whole thing to start from scratch, with proper software engineering practices.

    Also, there is an open source toolkit that is pretty good at reading microscope data called VTK (IIRC it's developed partly by Zeiss, one of the two main microscope manufacturers).

  • I'm really curious to see examples of commit messages.

    And more details on how you achieved it, I'd like to give it a go myself, as some of my coworkers commit messages are less than stellar.

    Does it write in the conventional commit formalism ?

  • An article of clothing can't be religious on its own

    Really? What about a kippa ? Or a priest's robes ?

    The kippa is forbidden in french schools for this very same reason, it signals religion.

    Loose fitting dresses are not forbidden, abayas are. They are a specific kind of loose fitting dresses. One that signals religion.

    I don't see them working as a fashion article, but that may just be my taste.

  • I disagree, the Abaya is not just a flowing robe.

    It is a garment that is required by the Sharia law (see Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries where women are not allowed to choose what they wear).

    Allowing this is the first step in letting religion in the public schools in France, where it has always been explicitly banned.

    And it is very unlike banning rainbows, those are a symbol used to promote acceptance of the diversity of others, something religions struggle with (ever notice how religion is closely tied with extremism?)

    Another factor to take into account is that these young girl may be forced by their family to wear such a garment, imposing upon them something they may not be old enough to refuse.

    Also, look up the paradox of intolerance, as allowing anyone to do as they please causes the rise of extremism.
