The extraction cost of minerals is only paid once. And a few big batteries will be much easier to recycle than a billion small ones in consumer electronics.

Microsoft never built the cheap, CLI-only version of NT that would have given Linux a run for its money. It would have helped preserve some of the hacker mindshare they once had with DOS.

CANDU works fine too.

Eunice is like Wintermute's grandma. Five years per generation at the current rate, so 2035 sounds about right. All that's missing is rastafarians on a derelict space station.

There exist a space between these approaches (webview, direct graphics) and TUI which nobody dares to explore anymore and I'm not sure why: native GUI apps and widgets. For example, Lazarus (FreePascal IDE / Delphi clone) gets it right. You get performance, low resource usage, portability and a good UI that's quick to use, respects platform standards and is highly discoverable.

Agents are very good at dealing with less used languages as long as you have skills defined for each. That's really the trick.

The model wouldn't "think" that, it'd be trained on that (not entirely incorrect) assumption.

That's also assuming the device is fully documented and that hardware behaves exactly as documented.

If the kernel had a standard ABI, an out-of-tree kernel module would be the way. As it is, DKMS is a pain and so in-tree modules are the easiest where license allows it.

As an aside, as an ex Delphi/Pascal programmer I find idiomatic app-level Rust to be very readable. It can degenerate into a sigil soup but as long as generics and macros are kept in check its no worse than Pascal.

I agree I have an attitude problem, Kotlin triggers me like nothing else. I'm scared that a semi proprietary kludge will replace my still totally adequate main language for superficial reasons of syntax sugar and hype when I can see the pitfalls from a mile away and taste them everyday from our overeager architect.

And it pisses me off even more that my tooling provider is the party actually building and promoting this substandard replacement and that I can't boycott them because the other IDEs are either legacy clusterfucks (eclipse) or glorified local websites (vscode).

As much as I try to keep my composure on HN and stay constructive in my contributions, I don't know how to help derail this particular train.

Can LLMs have neuralese dyslexia?

I see you drank the kool-aid. Add this dot to your chart: I know Kotlin and _much_ prefer Java.

Also, rest assured that there is still plenty of corporate drones that don't know Kotlin and couldn't care less because Java puts food on the table while providing a stable consensual development environment. Kotlin opens many doors, most of which should have better be left closed.

I find Kotlin to be full footguns in general, letting you do stuff because 'why the hell not'. It feels like the Kotlin designers just wanted to show off, without considering that many of the resulting code patterns would be terrible.

Oh but they absolutely do. The difference was mainly that up to a few years ago, the American government (generally) didn't care to repress those with the "wrong" opinions. Whereas China was always quite adamant about it.
