334.90 as 33490,00. 😬 This is germany, so it wants a comma, not a dot …
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, the Swiss and C++ programmers use apostrophes. :-) My grandpa had an electronic desk calculator that also used some kind of apostrophes as the thousands separator on its cool display. Maybe it consisted of Nixie tubes, can’t remember anymore.
I think non-breaking spaces are preferred nowadays to avoid the confusion.

@prologic High five, I’m “generation Java” as well! 😂 There were some leftovers of C++, we used that in the computer graphics courses in Uni a lot. But pretty much anything else that involved programming was Java.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha! yeah sounds about like my HS CS program. A math teacher taught visual basic and pascal. and over on the other end of the school we had “electronics” which was a room next to the auto body class where they had a bunch of random computer parts scavenged from the district decommissioned surplus storage.
The advanced class would piece together training kits for the basic class to put together.
Microsoft Ending Support For Windows 10 Could Send 240 Million PCs To Landfills, Study Finds

Li-Fi, light-based networking standard released
Today, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has added 802.11bb as a standard for light-based wireless communications. The publishing of the standard has been welcomed by global Li-Fi businesses, as it will help speed the rollout and adoption of the data-transmission technology standard. Where Li-Fi shines (pun intended) is not just in its purported speeds as fast as 224 GB/s. Fraunhofer’s Dominic Schulz points ou … ⌘ Read more

I have only just discovered this and need to dig in more, but so far it looks like a really nice reference for electronics pinouts: https://pinouts.org/
in some ways, tomo el fuego is an effort to break away from electron and javascript as the basis for application development. specifically p2p messaging, but there are a lot of general applications too. its true that i could have set this concern aside to focus on making the p2p things that i’ve been talking about over the last several years. i might have done something there, but i really don’t want to accept the status quo there. i want a much smaller foundation to build on than a web browser and an event library with V8 bolted on. dynamic 9-flavored p2p is coming, but there’s quite a bit more foundational work to do first.
