Even though SF mortgage prices are high, they aren't that high. You're still very well off on those salaries.

Not yet they haven't. They've basically left it alone, with very minor UI/UX improvements. They have very recently shown signs of making it worse (the AI button), but overall I've been surprised how careful they've

I don't think you can say that the idea was "copied". It was a very obvious idea. I had the same idea before I heard of the Facebook. Do you know why it's called the face book? You may as well say Bezos copied the idea o

My guess is he didn't say "ok sorry I'll double check in future" but got into an argument with them about how he was right.

It was just Oslo actually, but I do agree with you. I wasn't saying 8000 is good , just that it's less insane than 762.

8000 pedestrians killed by cars and 762 in mass shootings. Obviously in raw numbers 8000 is bigger than 762, but think how many people drive in America, and how useful it is! 762 is an absolutely astoundingly crazy number and it definitely

You're correct. Dynamic power consumption depends heavily on frequency, but it's definitely more of a limiting factor than static power consumption which as I understand it (I'm also not an expert) is mainly important for thi

Sorry but this isn't a strong argument at all. Nobody who thinks age verification laws are a good idea will be remotely persuaded by any of this.

Yes, if they explicitly call code that appears useless than a warning makes sense. Not if you write a public API that supports it though.

Right, but that could be because the fact that that implication exists is not actually as trivial as they are implying. Does "Flargbler was blorglargh" imply "blorglargh was Flargbler"? Maybe. You need more context to kn

No, I mean the API should support "useless" code where it makes sense, not that you should manually write it. I don't actually think it applies in this case, but just as a general principle. A classic example of where they di

Typo in this case, but in general supporting "useless" code like this is sometimes a good idea because it makes writing generic code easier. Maybe not in this case.

That's really inconsistent with my experience. Are you a game dev maybe? I can believe it for them. Or maybe a web dev. I think if you do anything a bit more technical and "boring" like firmware development or data engineerin

Silicon design/verification. In really high demand at the moment, I guess because of the death of Moore's Law - now it is much more worthwhile making custom chips.

I'm unconvinced that car mechanic pay is anywhere near programming but either way I'd say you have a pretty select and valuable skill set if you know cars and computers, given how computerised modern cars are.

So the problem that LFS solves is that sometimes you have large files that you a) don't want to download by default, e.g. old binary executables, b) are big enough that you want to serve them from a more efficient source e.g. S3, or c)

That's only a default limit. You can talk to your bank to allow more, e.g. for buying a house or a car.
