The Android Studio emulator is simply a qemu instance. If you use x86 images it should be quite performant.

"You can not get a living out of IT"

Idk, but my entry salary is higher than what my parents earn now. And they're definitely not poor.

@pk76 both things make me sad to hear.
I'm using Ada for like two years now and it's one of the nicest, if not the nicest language I've encountered.

Idk about your experiences, but I got to know the Ada community as one of the nicest I ever encountered.

Except of that I'm happy to find someone else here using Ada ;)

@Parzi I've seen people do many stupid things, and publishing private keys is definitely not the most stupid thing I've seen ;)

I hope you did not publish the whole pair, otherwise you can redo your keys.

I don't get people that throw out a shitton of money for a MacBook and are then too stingy to buy decent dongles...

Lawsuit incoming...

Is it a new one? Those things are still sold? I owned one like 8-10 years ago and it looked exactly the same! Was a great device btw!

@RememberMe Yes, it is, we're also doing Ada ;) we mostly do low level stuff, e.g. formally proven device drivers in SPARK, platform support for smaller uncommon platforms and so on. But on some platforms you don't have the official Ada compiler (which is based on GCC) but only default GCC it can crash sometimes when you add too fancy proof annotations. Fortunately you don't need them to compile so you can comment them out on that target.

@RememberMe we're doing formal proofs in SPARK (has nothing to do with Apache Spark) and GCC doesn't like some of the proof annotations.

@RememberMe I was aware of that ;) it just triggered me since sometimes use some experimental features at work which causes the compiler to crash, sometimes even on correct code and that's really annoying sometimes

@RememberMe idk what compilers you work with but I hate it when my compiler crashes on an error. I prefer an error message with line number and useful information instead of a crash.

@FuckJava I'm not wrong, I said at least, not exactly.

I'd say the chances of this are at least 1 in 65536.

@swablu No. A phone doesn't require as much energy in its lifetime as its production/shipping etc needs. Also recycling is not as good as many people think. It requires much energy and still some resources of the recycled phone are gone forever (it is still better than putting it on a dump though, but it's far worse than using the phone longer). So the best option is to use it as long as possible, even repurposed as something else.

@-ANGRY-CLIENT- I probably won't survive there. I love it chilled, 20°C is perfect. It's going to be around 30 the next week, I'm going to hide in the fridge.

Im in Germany and I miss the cold weather, too because it's going to be hotter the next weeks.

Yeah how shitty it is here... Look at the US where people get bankrupt because they needed an ambulance. Then I rather pay takes and go to the doc if I feel sick and don't pay a single fucking cent.

The difference I experienced is that you can give an engineer a problem and they will come up with a solution and most probably an implementation of that solution. A developer/programmer on the other hand is mostly presented a solution and is able to implement it. That doesn't mean they can't solve problems, they can but not to the same extend as an engineer. Also that isn't a hard line, there are people who are more or less skilled in solving problems ofc, but usually you can filter out the engineers by giving them ever harder problems to solve.
Another point is the approach to problems. An both will try to find a solution but an engineer will do a thorough analysis on the problem and even if a solution can't be found you will get an analysis about why.

That being said being an engineer in Germany requires a degree. Although engineers a described above and engineers with a degree are not necessarily the same group.

That is no problem anymore if you simply use your machine as production.

@sandeeppalo talking about knowledge. What you mean is the 20th century. The 19th century was the 1800s.

You're definitely not alone. That basically describes my whole life.

You can already switch to buster. It's in freeze for quite some time now so there isn't happening anything else than Bugfixes anyway.

About testing being as stable as other distros stable: I would say that probably about Sid but not testing. Testing often receives it's package transitions in waves that can be inconsistent leading to badly broken packages (especially shortly after a stable release when testing gets pulled to sid). Sid on the other hand gets its packages basically from upstream and even if something breaks it's fixed much faster than in testing.

If you're not doing work in their domain anymore it could be a good idea to suggest someone to them who you know and who can fulfill their requests. This increases the chance that they will stay in your sphere of influence and will lead customers of your domain to you (that being either themselves or someone they know).

@gandfaad that is a correct observation.

@M1sf3t that's what I suspected but that also means that he's kidding with me.

@Frederick you mean there'd be someone else just kidding other than me? I'd call that identity theft!

@jOkEr-jAsE you even got me over 1k++!
