This has to be setting off some alarm bells internally, a well written postmortem on an occasional issue, great, but when your postmortem talks about learnings and improvements yet major outages keep happening, it becomes meaningless..
I think the point they are making us that the intermediate representation the model works with is parametric and then converted to step for use with other tooling, I could be wrong, but I understand the argument both ways of their solution enables editing of that parametric version before conversion out.
I think actually Linux has come a long way and recently I actually dual booted fedora with windows and fedora was easily my main choice unless gaming.. unfortunately when updating from 41 to 42 there was clearly an issue with the GPU not having drivers for acceleration or cuda, updating the drivers bricked the OS immediately and while I could recover, I spent hours and hours on this and could never get the GPU drivers installed again without bricking it.. ultimately I realised how at mercy of drivers Linux is. I hope though that in the next few years things improve as windows is dismal to work on these days
I just had a problem with Windows and Nvidia drivers/CUDA not working properly on a two year old Windows 11 install. I had to reinstall the operating system after days of troubleshooting and attempting different things to get it operational again. It can happen on there as well.
This was my view once, but practically the languages have their own ecosystem strengths, now I think most of the major languages have similar concepts, async await, etc.. instead we now teach transfer your skills, and tbh I think it makes for a more interesting culture that's adoptive and excited by tech, and also learns better
It’s called being a software developer instead of being a JavaScript developer. If someone knows how to engineer software, their skills are transferable. Stitching libraries together is usually not software engineering.
software engineering is mostly a kludge of interacting with stuff people have made and will make, rather than physical limits of different materials and structures
stitching libraries together is the essense of soctware engineering
Yeah, I was concerned about that too. It looks like it has a small thin edge connector on the body of the Switch 2, sort of like a USB-C port but without the protective shield around it. If it's not designed well, we could see it snapping off in kid's hands and requiring expensive repairs.
I think the most exciting aspect here is this might actually push JavaScript to add some missing features that can make a lot of difference, the pipeline operator for example can really improve the design of JavaScript code and has been proven already in several languages, C#, swift, kotlin to name a few I know
