Just because it's 'not much time for turnover' doesn't mean there's plenty of younger companies with much higher lifetime turnover. In the tech industry, the average annual turnover rate is 13.5%. If I'm doing

It's hardly abandoned. The git history shows activity almost every day over the last few months. It's clearly being actively developed.

No, you’ve got weird ideas about citizenship and civil rights if you think that’s the case. Plenty of rights are conferred by merely being within the borders of a country, regardless of citizenship status. You can be a tourist or even an il

The idea of corporations being legal people is questionable in the first place, but now you’re going to argue that they’re not only people but citizens ?!

You can still own many kinds of guns here in Canada, and roughly 5% of Canadians do. There's certainly more requirements and limitations placed on you than you may be used to, put in place to ensure everyone else's right to safety

I assume they're trying to take the same approach most game consoles take (Nintendo is an exception here from what I understand) where they sell the hardware at a loss, and make their profit on licensing on game publishers. Here that&#

I don't know about that. Check out the other GPT-related thread on the front page right now. GPT-4 fails to solve programming problems that are much simpler than writing a whole game (even a relatively simple one). https://n

Flappy Bird is a well-known game by now, and it's simple enough that lots of people have produced tutorials online about how to write it. My guess is that it's mostly regurgitating code out of its training corpus. It'd only b

I think a lot of those physical things you suggested, like parkour and climbing, would be extremely risky because the last thing you'd want is to injure yourself in the middle of an Antarctic winter.

There are reference manuals with a lot of details. Specifically you'd want to read the "Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual", Volumes 2, which includes specifications of each instruction including ps

You don't understand why people should be able to cook food and heat their houses? This is a governance failure: for letting prices get out of control, for allowing poverty so bad that _people cannot heat their homes_, and then for all

It's not "creating" energy, it's releasing energy. The original atoms (exactly which atoms depends on the reactor, but let's assume it's deuterium and tritium) have a certain starting energy. When you fuse th

Honestly I just don't see how it's possible to 'forget CSS' with Tailwind. I mean, the classes mostly map 1:1 to CSS properties. As someone who has been writing CSS for approximately a billion years (actual number more l

What you're referring to is AML, which is part of ACPI. It defines a bytecode for short programs that are provided to the operating system in the ACPI tables for performing certain operations on devices. The operating system can then &

My scene is hobby operating system development, where you build an operating system usually for x86 / x86-64 PCs from scratch booting either from the BIOS, or UEFI, and then going from there. Common languages to use are C, C++ or (rece

If I were on a work visa I would click "yes", then start looking for another job (if I weren't already looking). No need to start the clock on your visa expiring if you don't have to. In any other situation, I'd tak

RSUs are always granted as a number of shares. It's kind of the point of them, so the employee benefits from stock appreciation since their hire date. However, in offer paperwork, it will sometimes be stated as a dollar value. This is

I’m only one week of work in. It’s fine so far: I got paid on time, benefits are okay. The biggest problem for me were in the on-boarding around ID. I provided a driver’s licence plus SIN, which is sufficient proof of identity and eligibili

There are employers of record that will hire employees on a company’s behalf through a local entity when the company doesn’t have their own. I’m currently employed through Deel, for example.

No, you should be using ARIA attributes, such as `aria-role` for this where it cannot be inferred by the element's tag name.

by a-priori 4y ago
As I said in my parent comment, there's other attributes better suited to purposes like this rather than overloading the `class` attribute. You can, for example, use a `data-testid` attribute if the element can't be identified rel

by a-priori 4y ago
I'd argue that using the `class` attribute for describing the content of a field is overloading it, and that it should only be used for linking to CSS styles. You're better off using another attribute, e.g. some data-* attribute,

This isn’t some speculative thing. It literally happened in the 2003 heat wave, where crops failed due to the extreme heat. With even higher temperatures in this heat wave it will certainly happen this year too. As these sorts of heat waves

Yes I think this is the key insight: if you have two technologies that will solve your problem, both reasonably popular and actively developed, the one that is ten years old is far more likely to still be actively developed in another ten

Would it surprise you to hear that in Canada, we accept a very broad range of ID (a bank statement and a lease agreement for an apartment would do)? And even if you don't have any of that, you can still vote if another registered voter

Canadian elections are also done on paper, mostly in person (though mail-in voting is allowed, and has became more popular during the pandemic), counted by hand. We don't use any machines on the federal level, though at the provincial
