  • Sun films have been available commercially for a long while. Choose how much sunlight you want reflected (generally more in bedrooms that you generally want dark and cool, less in rooms where you want a view), and either get a professional to apply or do it yourself—it just takes a bit of soap water and effort.

    Generally better to have the sun rejection happen on the outside of the window, so as little as possible energy gets absorbed.

  • I've very barely dipped my toes in dbus before, and the option to have something else is on its face attractive (not a fan of XML and the late 90s/early aughties style of oop), but JSON for a system interface?

    I mean, Kubernetes shows that yaml can work, but in this day and age I'd expect several options for serialisation, and for the default to be binary, not strings.

    String serialisations are primarily for humans IMO, either as readers or writers. As writers we want something with comments (and preferably no "find the missing }" game), so for that most of us would prefer something like TOML if the data is simple enough, and actually Yaml for complexity at the level of Kubernetes—JSON manages to be even more of a PITA at that level.

    But machine-to-machine? Protobuf, cap'n'proto, postcard, even CBOR should all be alternatives to examine

  • We’ve also recently introduced Coding Challenges to our site! These new challenges represent a new, fun way for developers to level up by tackling captivating puzzles and earning recognition for your skills and creativity. It’s a rewarding way to practice and expand your knowledge with the Stack Overflow community in a space that celebrates diverse and unique approaches.

    pls provide training material for the LLMs for free :pray:

  • It's generally conspicuous consumption, where the main point is to flaunt wealth.

    Functional aspects like how well an engine runs or a clock displays time are part of that, as poorly functioning but expensive-looking stuff is generally derided, but you also can get great-working stuff that doesn't look flashy.

  • Yeah, and Android has had some 16 years of "optimize later". I have some very very limited experience with writing mobile apps and while I found it to be a PITA, there is clearly a lot of thought given to how to not eat all the battery and die in the ecosystem there. I would expect that kind of work to also be done at the JVM level.

    If Windows Mobile had succeeded, C# likely would've been lower as well, just because there'd be more incentive to make a battery charge last longer.

  • I think some of the stuff you worry about as a kid will just arise naturally. Ideas like not stepping on cracks, or imagining monsters in dark places are likely produced spontaneously and naturally by an underdeveloped ape brain.

    But it'd be nice if we didn't tell kids about old superstitions, yeah. Wait until they're old enough to react with dismissal about the stupid stuff people used to believe.
