Just like the article mentioned, he has become almost synonymous with fairy tales associated with stories for kids, but for anyone who has ever read from a collection of his stories, a majority of them are most certainly not appropriate for kids. Some of them are incredibly sad, and as another comment says, the fate of the characters often can change for the worse in the last paragraphs, when you least expect it.
I can only recommend reading his works, they are deeply profound.
With regards to NIF being a military facility, I'd very much think that energy production (cheap, safe, limitless?) is very much a military needs as much as a civilian need.
Even if said energy goes further to power laser weapons or other exotic power hungry systems; energy is energy, and something has to produce it.
Hi jgosar, and thanks for joining into the discussion :D
I figure you noticed the drastic increase in repo activity and stars.
What's your own opinion on java-ness of the code? Do you feel it is an accurate assessment?
I hope you didn't take it personal, I've most certainly done similar things when I learned C# after doing java for the initial university courses.
Don't get me wrong, it's not "bad" code (from a brief glance) but it's just clearly written as if it was Java code, and probably not in a usual IDE like Visual Studio, Rider or VSCode /w C# plugin (as that would typically scaffold a more C#-esque style).
Here's what I've noticed so far:
- Uses camelCase instead of PascalCase
- Uses setter and getter methods instead of C# properties.
- Uses reverse DNS namespace com.mc2k.SimCityReader instead of e.g. JGosar.MineCity2000.SimCityReader.
- Lack of LINQ (It is such a big part of C#, that not using it at all is strange).*
- Lac of using generics e.g. List<string> instead of string[].*
- Excessive use of arrays (you'd typically use a simple IEnumerable<T> or List<T>).
- Lack of `var`.*
- Casting integer literals to short, byte, etc -- these all have equivalent literal notation.*
- Lack of extension methods.*
- Lack of maps (pattern matching).*
There could be more, but those are what I noticed.
EDIT: * Given that the original code was done with VS 2010 and .NET Framework 4, its fair to say that a few of the points above do not apply, but the code is nevertheless very java-esque (just from the first two points).
Slightly off-topic; if there ever was a excellent example of what it means when a C# program is being written by a java developer, this would certainly qualify.
In Denmark, which took a different strategy similar to most countries, we never quite had a full lock-down as seen in many other countries.
Majority of retail continued throughout the "lock-down", but with an abundance of care taken in terms of keeping a 2m distance, limited number of customers in a shop (queue stretching out of stores is a common sight), and alcohol sanitizers everywhere.
The majority of businesses and institutions have reopened (schools and kindergardens being the first ones), and restaurants, café and cinemas have just recently opened (with appropriate restrictions).
What is interesting is that Sweden has seen the roughly the same level of economic contraction as Denmark, despite the vastly different policies.
First off, Grafana is amazing! So keep up the good work.
Question: Currently alerts are fairly limited both in applicable panels and how they export/share relevant data to the chosen notification channel, as well as more advanced conditions. Is there any work going on with improving alerts?
I can recommend trying this out with the Spotify web app.
It is genuinely difficult to spot that it’s actually “just” a website.
When you lock windows while it’s playing it shows up with media details like album art, play/pause etc.
It is additionally “registered” in the start menu, and correct icons and windows taskbar behaviour is used, making it virtually indistinguishable from a native app.
Lab has the cool effect that you can smoothly change the luminance of a particular color in steps (usually scale is 0-100), where each step has an equal perception of change to the user.

And it also makes a difference for a company, as you can set a € price, and it can work for more or less the entire EU.
E.g. in Denmark (although not part of €, but pegged to 100€ ~ 745kr.) you can with full support, do all your bookkeeping/accounting denominated in Euro if you so please, as the danish state allows for bookkeeping denominated in DKK and EUR.
It's a cost on society, not on the individual pupil, just like how the education is a gain to the society at large, while the individual effort of the individual may seem negligble.
So of course it's free. You are not paying. And you don't pay it over taxes, society does.
Think of it this way: If you didn't go to university, and just learned on your own, then you still pay the same taxes if you reach the same income level. So taking a university does not increase your taxes. Ergo free.
I believe that a contributing factor to the pay gap in Europe is the fact that we have so many languages, that we are too segregated to create the same level of competitiveness as seen in the US.
This means that each country is fairly protective of its people, and even though EU has free movement of labour, the language and culture barrier is strong, and internationals have a harder time to get hired, unless the speak the local language.
So the end results is that talent is spread across, and no single country has ability to become the place to be.
