I found the documentation confusing and as so often with general-approach tools too overwhelming for what I'm trying to do. sdkman works fine for what I need it for and usually you only need one instance of gradle and maven installed.
And sdkman is written in rust and only needs curl, zip and unzip, no JVM.
I would've expected this kind of inane take on Reddit or X, not here. Or on SO where somebody asks "How do I do X?" and is told "X sucks, you want to use Y".
This is not about "X sucks", but the very first questions from an engineering perspective should be whY? What do you want to accomplish? Is X actually a good approach towards Y?
If it turns out that trying to shoehorn X into kinda accomplishing Y is very hard work, then suggesting to use X2 instead is a perfectly sensible suggestion.
If you have a hard constraint that you must use X, even if it does not fit well to Y, fair enough. Then you add that as a reply or state it in the beginning.
They're not strictly taxes but they kinda are. They're mandatory and paid by workers into a fund but are linked to your future pensions. Like taxes they're automatically deducted from your salary and legally required but earmarked as to be used in the future.
Which has worked well for quite some time but I don't believe I'll every see any of the money I'm currently paying into the system.
No, on top of social security „taxes“, you also have something like 140 billion euro substitutions to pensions from income tax money, as far as I know. On top you get increased healthcare costs, cause boomer also get sick at that age. So young, working people pay thrice for their lifestyle. And in particular, those 140G€ are not spent on infrastructure and Germany’s future. Coincidentally, social welfare is a fraction of that, but aaall the rage to those boomers, who benefited from low taxes and high pensions, while spending 40 years in ignorance of their generation’s demographic burden.
Don’t forget, we got a young generation severely hurt because of COVID restrictions on their social life and education at the most critical time. That generation had the least to worry about the plague, it’s been pure sacrifice for old folks, who were the ones slowly suffocating in bursting emergency rooms. Two years of death and struggle and demographic crisis no more, but we were kind and compassionate, hidden behind webcams and masks at the prime of our youth. The boomers’ gratitude was shown by completely ignoring the climate crisis, the housing crisis (guess who got the houses…), the immense infrastructure debt, and instead increasing taxes etc., and of course making culture wars and hatred their scapegoat. The most egotistical generation ever.
Hi! I wondered why the Gin Basil Smash is in the column with rare, specialized ingredients? Sounds pretty basic to me, especially compared with the other cocktails in the list.
Purely because basil, in my experience, in the US, is not commonly stocked at bars (this might change as the gin basil smash grows in popularity). I had to go out of my way to find a bar with a gin basil smash on its menu, because the few I tried didn't have basil on hand.
Yesterday I tried CC the first time. I have the $20 package. I asked it to improve the code in a small kotlin based chess engine. Five minutes later I reached my limit and the engine performed poorer than before.
It just created two new classes, changed some code in others and created a couple of tests which it ran. So I hit the limit pretty quickly.
Minor thing: When I load the page and click "Load example file" while Pyodide is still loading I see a stacktrace for a short time. Perhaps disable the button until it's loaded?
