    Rogue Austrian minister burns bridges to save EU nature law
  • It's so funny because in the article it is even mentioned, that the agricultural minister did the same thing a few weeks ago, but he is from the chancellors party, the People's Party. Also, Nehammer (the chancellor) doesn't dissolve the government because his party is scared shitless of elections right now. They would (and in November at the general elections probably will) be painfully reduced. Sadly in favor of the super right wing FPÖ (fReEdOm party 🤡, as in freedom to be an asshole).

    Things You Should Never Do, Part I (2000)
  • laughs/cries in embedded we are currently changing from mbed to zephyr rtos. at the beginning it was decided we will never replace mbed, the thing i am currently replacing, so all the code is using parts of mbed everywhere. there's not enough space on the chip to have both mbed and zephyr in parallel. yay. you desktop/server/web/whatever people don't how good you have it.

    Über den korrekten Umgang mit der AfD
  • Das is ein bisschen kompliziert. Die FPÖ ging aus dem VdU hervor der nach dem 2WK direkt von ehemaligen Nazis gegründet wurde. Daher ein klares Jein: Nein, es waren immer Nazis, aber ja, weil der Ton den sie angeschlagen haben, Anfang der 80er ein anderer war. 1986 hat dann Jörg Haider die FPÖ übernommen und der Ton wurde wieder rauher, worauf hin der damalige SPÖ Kanzler Vranitzky die Regierung aufgekündigt hat. Meiner Meinung nach war das vielleicht gar nicht so klug, da Haider in der Regierung gleich mal zeigen hätte müssen, dass er produktiv arbeiten kann, was nicht passiert wäre. So konnte er 15 Jahre lang quasi konsequenzlos aus der Opposition den Diskurs vergiften. Allerdings is letzteres natürlich Spekulation.

    Über den korrekten Umgang mit der AfD
  • Wir hatten das in Österreich 2001 bis 2007. ÖVP (CDU-equiv, nur korrupter) koaliert mit FPÖ (AfD-equiv, nur älter) um sie zu "entzaubern" (und natürlich nicht die Macht zu verlieren). Das mündete darin, dass sich die Rechten am Staat gütlich getan haben und die gerichtlichen Nachspiele immer noch andauern. Gleiches gilt für das kurze Zwischenspiel 2017 - 2019, das mit dem Ibiza-Video geendet hat.

    Degoodle an e-reader?
  • What are you talking about? I've had 3 Kobos (because I broke 2; Aura, Aura HD, now a Forma) and my current one keeps charge for 3-4 months with daily use, and it's the worst of the three. That's 3-4 charges a year. How much longer would you want the battery to last?

    What are your programming hot takes?
  • I'm aware. I write C++17 and I try to be informed what the best praticed are for whatever version of whatever language I'm writing at the moment. But that's actually a reason to not like C++. It's painfully backwards compatible and what was good pratice isn't anymore because now there's a better one, but that better pratice isn't in anyway enforced because of backwards compatibility. And also I don't like templates, generics are superior to me, but that's a me thing.

    What are your programming hot takes?
  • As an embedded firmware guy for 10ish years:

    C can die in a fire. It's "simplicity" hides the emergent complexity by using it as it has nearly no compile time checks for anything and nearly no potential for sensible abstraction. It's like walking on an infinite tight rope in fog while an earth quake is happening.

    For completely different reasons: The same is true for C++ but to a far lesser extent.

  • Hello,

    I'm looking to buy a mechanical keyboard (well duh...) and I have the following requirements:

    • under 100€ (not a super hard requirement, but not like 300€)
    • relatively silent (so no blue switches, i'd probably prefer red or brown)
    • german keyboard layout
    • bluetooth, to use with my iPad, but also USB (USB-C, if possible)
    • as long a battery charge as possible, because I keep forgeting to plug things in
    • battery indicator of some sort, to show me when to plug in; doesn't have to be anything special, a LED telling me to fucking-plug-it-in-already(TM) is alright
    • Tenkeyless layout with separate F-Keys, arrows and home/end/up/down block
    • exchangable switches would be nice

    For now I don't have any aesthetic requirements. Can somebody help a fella, who doesn't know what's good and what's not, out?
