Wer in Anbetracht des dramatischen Klimawandels von „grüner Ideologie“ spricht sollte nicht regieren. Die Wirtschaft ist in der Krise weil wir von Gas aus Russland und vom Export von Verbrennungsmotoren abhängig waren. Beides ist Geschichte.

Friedrich Merz@_FriedrichMerz

Dramatische Bilanz nach knapp zwei Jahren Streit und #grüner Ideologie in der #Bundesregierung: Die Weltwirtschaft wächst um voraussichtlich 3%, während Deutschlands Wirtschaft um 0,3% schrumpft. Die #Ampel-Politik gefährdet unseren Wohlstand. (FM) wiwo.de/politik/konjun…

@bryanl @davidfowl Two things are true: There are cases where I love a good debugger. There are other cases where I use print() to solve my problems.

Bryan Liles@bryanl·18 Tem

@davidfowl Yup. It’s all about effort vs reward. If you are super low in the stack a debugger might be best, but I’m not down there a lot.

Are there developers out there that still think that print statements are better than a *real* debugger?

Korrekt. Irre gutes Auto. Ich habe ehrlich gesagt weniger erwartet, und war mega beeindruckt von meinem ID3 mit 77kWh.

@Elektro_Robin Vor allem weil der BMW halt alles andere besser macht als der Tesla. Er ist bei WEITEM das besser Auto.

@Lost_Signal @EIAgov So coal/gas need to become expensive with CO2 pricing, but ramp up of solar/wind need to make coal/gas unnecessary, all while consumption goes up significantly due to mass-adoption of EVs and Heat Pumps.

Christian Dickmann@cdickmann·7 Tem

@Lost_Signal @EIAgov In the German/European market, the price is set by the most expensive source we still have to buy to satisfy demand. Today, that often involves coal or gas. Solar and wind are very cheap indeed, but usually not able to meet demand fully.

I am at 40c (EUR) right now, but yes, prices have to go up (CO2 pricing) unless we finally invest enough in renewables. We have to internalize these external effects and have people pay the “true price”.

Germany’s 55-80 cents per KWH makes the maths on cheap AC, not cheap. (I think I’m 12 cents right now).

@kostadis_tech Sure, if the tagline was “progress has stalled due to lack of investment due to lack of profits”, sure … but it rarely is in the US.

English

Christian Dickmann@cdickmann·5 Tem

I love how in the US making things more affordable and hence accessible is framed as “evaporated precious profits!”

Do you suck at giving demos? Here are some tips on how not to suck at it.

quobix@daveshanley

I watch (and give) many demos and see the same repeated mistakes made by software engineers, often falling into one of five categories. Here's a fun video I made that explains how to avoid all five mistakes when giving a demo. Full video on youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=MyLdT-…

You can enter your answer in writing, or via Speech-to-Text. I also use a real language coach, and this is a fantastic addition. Less than $0.5/h means I am only limited by my willingness to spend time. Oh, and ChatGPT helped me write all this code in very little time.

How the app works: You enter a person/topic (free text or dropdown) you want to have a conversation with/about. The tool picks a voice at random. It asks ChatGPT to do a role play. You can repeatedly listen to the audio, reveal the written text if needed. Infinite variation.

I made a language learning role play app for myself. I took ChatGPT API, AWS/Azure/GCP Text-to-Speech APIs (to have more voices), and Whisper API, with a hacked up python backend and a Clarity/Angular frontend. It’s absolutely awesome and very cheap. API cost is few cent/h.

Tried this yesterday, and ChatGPT’s summary varied from attempt to attempt, all wrong in key aspects.

Das wird VIEL zu selten so erzählt. Ist ne super Art zu spenden.
