If latency of input->visible effect is what you're talking about, then yes, that's a great point!

Pedantic nit: At 60 fps the per frame time is 16.66... ms, not 30 ms. Having said that a lot of games run at 30 fps, or run different parts of their logic at different frequencies, or do other tricks that mean there isn't exactly one F

Ignoring the silly vulnerability Marketing Name, the part I found shocking here is that apparently URL-based dependencies in package.json (deps that just point to an arbitrary URL rather than pointing to another NPM package name) are ignore

> Any modern home build likely has an ERV as part of the design Sounds very country dependent. I really doubt it's true here in the UK. But then, UK housing is just garbage all around unless you build something custom and put a lot

How much of the Mac's impressive battery life is due purely to CPU efficiency, and how much is due to great vertical integration and the OS being tuned for power efficiency? It's a genuine question; I'm sure both factors make

I had a summer job working at a print software company and they had a large format printer with, if I remember correctly, 12 different ink colours. These weren't spot colours - though that's also an example of going outside CMYK -

It's not very easy to take photos of mathematics, and the girl is the central subject of the article anyway. What images would you expect to see?

That doesn't seem like a full explanation. Sure, prices are tied to supply and demand. But demand is tied to how much money people have, so that just brings you right back to the original question.

Not sure what you mean by "supposed to know". There's no universal "tech syllabus", so there's nothing (or everything?) that you're supposed to know. But if you're asking is this a term in common usag

Your own description of your work seems self-contradictory? You have a paragraph that says you could work much faster than others and still "finish them with accuracy, attention to detail" and then in the very next paragraph you n

That sounds like a good way to get fired for cause. I doubt any worker rights protections that apply to acts of "organizing" in the workplace extend as far as protecting clearly malicious acts.

USB-C can handle 24W on a normal thin cable because the voltage can be ramped up to provide more power at a safe current level. It's high current that makes connectors and cables heat up and creates risks, not high power overall. Suppo

It's funny because from that diagram I really don't see any particular relationship between the shape and its content. You could draw a regular pyramid with three segments and write the same labels on it and it would make just as

Software running on my machine is not a "service", so it does not need a "Terms of Service". Firefox Sync needs a ToS. Firefox Relay (the email masking thing) needs a ToS. Firefox web browser does not.

Localhost is an entire /8, so you have a few million possible addresses you can bind to if you want, all on whatever your preferred dev server port is.

There's a well known quote from Fred Brooks too: ""Show me your flowcharts and conceal your tables, and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your tables, and I won’t usually need your flowcharts; they’ll be obvious.&quot

The work was done by DeepMind, which is in the UK. Weather in the UK is quite variable and difficult to predict (which is why the English are always talking about it).

It doesn't have to be git either - a few version control systems are supported. See https://go.dev/ref/mod#vcs And it doesn't have to be the direct domain+path of the repository, it can be some URL where you

It just provides a different API for storage. You could say the same thing about IndexedDB being added when LocalStorage already existed - it's just a different API with some different performance characteristics. And no, it's not

Although I think it's extremely unlikely, I almost wish subversion would have a resurgence. I like git, personally, but I've seen so many people struggle with it, and the problems of putting large/binary assets into the repos

I'm no fan of Musk. However, building companies is generally considered to be a good thing. Doing it with taxpayer money is only bad if it's somehow fraudulent - if you make a company and get a government contract and you actually
