They just dumped them there in the 60s and 70s before there was regulation…
Edit:
Here’s two links, if you want to read up on it:
It should be said, though, that this really is just a general rule. Some frameworks and programming languages are definitely less efficient than others without providing more versatility.
You’re using Nightly. There be dragons…
The implications would be massive and I do not think most power users would benefit from it being broken up like that. Being able to backup or sync your entire Firefox profile by copying one directory is quite useful.
Ah, yeah, I did get it after looking at the comments, but thanks. 🙂
Oh man, I thought that was supposed to be Einstein, but then figured the joke is that it’s his supposed son, Frank Einstein, which sounds a lot like “Frankenstein”. I guess, the joke is a lot simpler than that…
I’m currently prototyping a macro to help reduce boilerplate, as part of a more general library. And I’m doing some wild shit, like defining the fields of a data type from the parameter list of a function.
But then, yeah, what I’m now stuck on is that my generated code references a data type under one name, but it’s actually got a different name in the public API. All the wild shit was smooth sailing, but a technicality now fucks me over. 🫠
I enjoy the faces on the laptop. It’s like a very modern art piece showing the horrors of remote work.
Pretty sure that knowing COBOL isn’t the hard part. It has relatively few language concepts.
This lack of language concepts just makes it difficult to reason about it, so that’s what you’re getting a paycheck for. Well, and possibly also because it might take months to have a new dev figure out your legacy codebase, so it’s cheaper to keep the current dev by paying them competitive prices.
I believe, it mainly has to do with dark-theme screens quickly becoming illegible when there’s outside light sources. It just isn’t bright enough to overpower the glare from the sun and such.
That is genuinely one of the reasons why I use light theme. Like, have you see how bright the fucking sun is? My light-themed screen is still a joke compared to looking outside the window. So, I’m trying to help along my circadian rhythm by at least somewhat simulating the sun on my screen.
My answer is also every industry. It’s like asking what industry could benefit from collaboration.
Today, I was on a networking event for an industry that is currently heavily looking to adopt open-source collaboration, due to cost pressure. And it was such a surreal experience.
You had dozens of human beings in this room, who all understood that collaboration is good. Who understood that the shared goal of surviving as an industry requires collaboration. Who understood each other as human beings.
But because they collect their paychecks from different companies, you had these stupid infights of “our product is better”, as well as monetization always being prioritized higher than collaboration success.
It did not feel like we were working on a shared goal, and rather like each company was just trying to sell their product. Rather than one solution, there were as many solutions as there were companies, each one pitching their solution as the one solution everyone else should agree on.
Yeah, I don’t know what the moral of the story is. It just felt so incredibly stupid.
I do not believe there to be a higher meaning. Nor for that fact to have particular meaning. As such, I also do not assign particular meaning to suffering. But others don’t seem to enjoy it much, so I throw myself with full force against it, because why not?
T shirt
I see what you did there…
🙃
Yeah, that is also my primary motivation, to not need to interact with hairdressers. 😅
I do also like it a lot, though, that I can just cut it every 2-3 weeks. My hair is a lot easier to take care of when it’s short, and I look sharper, so I can just keep it short all the time.
Damn, are you me? I haven’t bothered with fading out the back yet, but I also cut 12mm on top, 9mm for the rest.
Personally, I found that when I lean my head back, then there’s a pretty noticeable bend where my neck starts. And when my hair crosses that line, it looks bad. So, that’s where I create the border.
And I just basically grab the back of my skull and move my hand down until it meets that bend to the neck, then I cut along the index finger.
I feel like I’d probably create the fade above that, too, but your mileage may vary, of course.
Yeah, my immediate thought was “Why would anyone voluntarily listen to this song?” and it had nothing to do with the quality of the song.
In case you happen to be on KDE, plasma-apply-colorscheme gets you pretty close, especially if you’re mostly using KDE programs.
I’m no expert. I probably know too little about the propagation speed of a wave to understand what you mean there.
But here is a scenario where something is faster than light in the given medium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation
As I understand, neutrons and gravitational waves are also bound by the speed of causality, because they have no mass. And I believe, unlike light, they are unaffected by electromagnetic forces that a material exerts, so they would presumably (always?) travel faster than light in that medium.
I will also say, that from what little I understand of this video: https://www.pbs.org/video/pbs-space-time-speed-light-not-about-light/
…it sounds like trying to determine the speed of causality by measuring it, is kind of backwards. You’re at best experimentally confirming what has to be a given under our laws of physics.
I’ve seen it argued that the best way to create lightweight software is to give devs old hardware to develop on.
Which, yeah, I can see that. The problem is that as a dev, you might have some generic best practices in your head while coding, but beyond that, you don’t really concern yourself with performance until it becomes an issue. And on new hardware, you won’t notice the slowness until it’s already pretty bad for those on older hardware.
But then, as the others said, there’s little incentive to actually give devs old hardware. In particular, it costs a lot of money to have your devs waiting for compilation on older hardware…
