Not gonna lie, very underwhelming compared to what's coming out from other manufacturers... Even a budget brand like Acer is releasing Ryzen 7000 chipsets and pairing it with higher resolution OLED screens, probably will be cheaper as

Nowadays it's pretty much as simple as installing SBCL and then Emacs-Slime.

Restaurants in France for example generally pay their interns (there's quite specific rules for unpaid internships and they must last less than 2 months) and hours are much more reasonable for everyone (still rough compared to tech and

Ok, how much of your income are you willing to give up? How many years later do you want to retire? How much less time do you want with your family? How much less money do you want your descendants to have? Because that's often the

That video literally shows nearly a dozen objects being blown up. Yes, one makes it through and causes damage. No air defense is 100% unfortunately. It also shows how shitty Russia is, continuing to bomb Kyiv when it's far from any m

Yes, the way to make money is to own a business. Doesn't change the fact that the pay rates haven't changed in 15 years for those who are getting into the career and will have to work for others to learn.

Trades pay shit. I have friends that are electricians and they made more a decade ago than the current journeyman rate. Nevermind inflation, we're talking only nominal pay.

Nah I'm pretty content with Netflix + Prime + Disney + YouTube premium. Still save a ton over traditional cable prices and still pretty convenient. Also game prices are fine IMO, I don't buy the overpriced AAA stuff (that still h

I'm not making any judgements either way. Just saying that Enoch is no more fantastic than parts of Genesis. Also, Genesis references Enoch.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible.

JS was slow before V8. Also TruffleRuby brings Ruby very close to V8 speeds. I just didn't consider that because it's not really a drop-in CRuby replacement. Also JS is still too slow for most things compiled languages are used
