I was garbage collector for 3 years as student job.

Not a single person in the company has done such a thing. We did dumb shit all the time but that wasn’t even close. I feel sorry that you decided that 1 person represents a whole industry

As long as you use proper lifting form it’s not that hard on your back. Without it you won’t last long though.

Also here in belgium all garbage collectors I know earn more than the teachers I know.

You get most of the day off after having worked a full day + still need a full and thorough shower + have low energy because it’s a physically demanding job

Src: did it for 3 years as student job

Did it as a student job for 3 years. I was paid roughly 50% more than with all other student jobs.

Honestly collecting garbage is not even that bad. I got paid to do fitness all day, spending time outside while chatting with my coworker. The people sorting the trash, that was who we felt bad for. They had all the downsides of the job with none of the benefits.

Dogmatic statements like this lead to bad, messy code. I’m a firm believer that you should use whatever style fits the problem most.

Although I agree most code would be better if people followed this dogma, sometimes mutability is just more clean/idiomatic/efficient/…

Oh no, strangers on the internet know I had sex and there were dog-like noises! That’s the exact same as people who know me IRL such as family or coworkers! I shall now sink through the ground in shame!

The oddity is having a military recruiter for a specific school. All we had was a stand for the military at a fair with all studies options (context: belgium)

Is that just like the shared memory model of parallel computing or are there any added complications? Have you done this before? Please do share your experiences if so cause now I’m interested :p

FreeRTOS tasks are basically processes, IIRC other rtoses have similar mechanics too

1. several languages that are still in use have eager evaluation.

2. I’m a dumb programmer. The more I need to keep implicit behaviour in mind, the higher the probability I’m writing bugs. Short circuit evaluation is an optimization technique IMO and shouldn’t be relied upon for control flow.

3. The aggressive tone you’re using is completely unnecessary and immature, so I’ll refrain from responding any further. Have a nice day.

Yes I am serious.

1. That’s behaviour that’s just part of language design. If you rely on it you should probably check how the language you’re using handles it.

2. relying on that behaviour sounds a lot like “clever” (read unnecessarily unreadable) code

I see, so I’m assuming the same goes for regular actors? And musicians? And basically any performer ofcourse? Oh and also anyone who does manual labour because you are literally renting out your body for that. Well, and technically anyone with an office job too because they are still renting out their time.

To answer that question it might be useful to ask a different question: “If people depend on money to survive and if that money is made through manual labour. Does this imply that manual labour is slavery through coercion?”

Does commercial mean closed source in this context though? It seems like a waste of resources not to provide the source code for an rtos.

Considering how small in size they tend to be + with their power/computational constraints I can’t imagine they have very effective DRM in place so it shouldn’t take that much to reverse engineer.

May as well just provide the source under some very restrictive license.

Don’t you have the code in most cases? Like with e.g. freeRTOS? That’s fully open source

Isn’t that still the same exact process as a normal compiler except in the case of embedded systems your OS is like a couple kilobytes large and just compiled along with the rest of your code?

As in, are those “crazy optimizations” not just standard compiler techniques, except applied to the entire OS+applications?
