The market is too fickle to rely on your own experience and knowledge. Remember, there's plenty of experts in the tech industry whose sole job is to trade tech stocks, this information is baked into the market. It's far more likel

The whole point is that the license specifically targets their competitors while allowing everyone else so that their model gets a bunch of free contributions from the open source community. They gave a set date so that they knew exactly wh

Climate change is rough here in Austin TX because it's getting hotter, but we're also getting more extreme spikes in freezing temperatures. There's a whole slew of plants and trees that can't survive here because of how

That's what I said, you might not be able to get a webdl depending on if the stream is cracked, but at least webrips (which are captured from capture cards) are good enough quality anyways.

One good thing about this specific case is that it only persists in the cells exposed to it. New cells and reproduction are unaffected, which helps with the ethics surrounding gene therapy.

Yeah web-dls might be hit or miss but webrips are such good quality that it's irrelevant for most folks anyways, since it's nearly the same quality you'd see on your TV.

Upgrading to Windows 7 from XP on my netbook surprisingly ran a lot smoother, also fixed a driver issue I had with the audio. In general though I notice no changes to performance between Windows versions, partly because the system requireme

If you talk shop with a mechanic, they're going to know pretty quickly if you actually know what you're talking about. In my experience, the same applies in our field.

I've noticed that ChatGPT will speed up the monotonous part of writing code, but will often inject a few bugs into the code that I need to fix. In a way, ChatGPT has become my personal junior developer (which I only use for basic stuff

In my experience the miles they advertise are no where near the reality. My Model Y has never given me 320 miles on a charge and it's not like gas stations where you can hit one up at the last moment, on a trip you gotta start finding

Yep, the goal of these vaccines are to program the body to have a strong immune reaction to the cancer/tumor.

8k-16k is the breakpoint where pixel density is high enough to no longer need anti-aliasing, so we have a ways to go, but once we hit that, we still have a long ways to go in rendering quality. Screenshots can look really nice, but dynamic

Not sure why the downvotes, .Result is avoided because it causes deadlocks, so you have to only use it when you are certain it won't create a deadlock condition. The most common way is to ensure it is already awaited (which defeats the

Unfortunately the solution is very nuanced and boils down to being knowledgeable enough to know when Task.Result won't cause a deadlock, which is outside the scope of this guideline.

He explains the same thing I did right in his example. Don't use .Result to force sync over async.
468.
by Salgat 2y ago
They're referring to not using .Wait()/.Result on awaitable functions, not about making every function async regardless of whether it needs it. This was a common pitfall that people would do back in the day to avoid having to refa

I don't think people realize how tiny the population of Iceland is. For some perspective, Detroit's population is 60% higher. The mayor of Austin TX governs over double the citizens as Iceland's president.

It reminds me of the gameboy player for the SNES, where the entire gb console ran inside the cartridge and used the snes for inputs and display. In this case a PIC controller is the cpu in the cartridge doing the heavy lifting.

by Salgat 2y ago
So the cartridge is the computer and basically treats the console as a dumb display? That's not as exciting as I was hoping.

Also keep in mind that it's still a proprietary model. Meta gets all the benefits of open source contributions and testing while retaining exclusive business use.

It's a pretty classic case of a startup sacrificing profit for growth until they reach critical mass and move to maximizing profit. Twitch probably decided they were as big as they were going to get and are no longer focused on user gr

I've completely abandoned Twitch in part for this reason. I imagine they've lost a lot of viewers due to this but it seems like it's still far more profitable for them. A shame really.
