  • What in the ai slop I regret watching as much as I did but gave up at: "We don't need your legislation" "No legislation on" whatever it was

  • You wouldn't even need to stop going to work!

  • No they wouldn'tThe second it became clear this was a larger theme they would sell the debt at a premium to the debt collectorsIf it somehow got to the point of hurting a utility or big company government would ride in to the rescue

  • Time taken for me to eat that mass of hotdogs

  • Nvidia is ditching dedicated G-Sync modules to push back against FreeSync’s ubiquity

    Jump

  • TL:DR The stuff the dedicated module is doing will go inside specific Mediatek chips on specific premium monitors

    Really weird it's taken this long - I remember reading that the modules were expensive and assumed it was just because they were early generations and Nvidia was still working things out

  • It was actually pretty great when I worked for a company making things here in england:"That needs to move 50cm" meant it had to move exactly 500mm"That needs to move a foot" meant just kick it over about a foot

    It was just an unspoken thing that metric meant precise and imperial was just caveman measuring

  • How did you get into coding/programming?

    Jump

  • Got into making redstone logic in Minecraft, including joining a community of people building all kinds of crazy things like CPUs. This was early days too - I think the repeater was brand new

    Eventually wanted to make mods so started learning Java. Was bad at it. Then wanted to make games in unity. Was bad at it. Learned C++ at Uni. Dropped out and was bad at it.

    Kind of repeated this cycle for various languages and tools for years, never with enough motivation to learn properly. Eventually I hit a critical mass of skill and was able to actually make things in HTML/JS and over a couple years this snowballs until surprisingly quickly I find myself a senior developer teaching others!

  • Looks good to me 👍

  • I like to shoot for the middle ground: skim for key functions and check those, run code locally to see if it does roughly what I think it should do and if it does merge it into dev and see what breaks.

    Small PRs get nitpicked to death since they're almost certainly around more important code

  • I put my number in a secure form for a trusted bank and immediately got spammed

    Jump

  • We had a zoom call with a very well reviewed, recommended broker local to us. Next day I get a spam call pretending to be the bank we talked about the most as a lender, but that we currently have no business with. My paranoia has been at 100% ever since

  • Assuming a ground clearance of 10cm, and a wheelbase of 2.4m (source: my ass) then you can construct an arc under the wheels

    This arc says you could drive such a car on an earth with radius as small as 7.25m. Actually, it could be slightly smaller because of where the wheels would contact, but I've lost interest
