The "processor-memory performance gap" is a big reason why lookup tables aren't as clear of a win on modern hardware as they were on the SNES. If it takes two CPU cycles to read from RAM, a lookup table will basically always

I'm not as familiar with the names of these things as I ought to be, but isn't FIRE basically the philosophy your post described? "Doing everything right" involves taking on a lot of expensive responsibilities: outrageou

by csande17 3y ago
The other half of the equation is the amount you're spending. At least in tech, FIRE means finding a way to earn a San Francisco salary without paying for a San Francisco lifestyle, such that you're saving more than one year'

by csande17 3y ago
The whole point of FIRE is that you are planning on being significantly unemployed, a lot sooner than most people. Even fairly early into that 20-year career, you'll have an emergency fund that can get you through a lot of otherwise-

"Financial Independence, Retire Early" is the VanillaJS of life strategies: you can do everything you want as long as you ignore the chorus of Twitter thought-leaders insisting that it'll never be enough.

I'm at the middle school library you mentioned, and it's even worse than you made it sound. They aren't letting me check out ANY books at all; something about "not being a student here"? They said I could try the pu

If they were actually violating the license, it'd be pretty easy and cheap to send DMCA takedowns to search engines, wouldn't it? (And possibly also whoever's hosting the copycat pages.)

Including a comment in the JavaScript file is broadly considered good enough to satisfy this requirement of the MIT license, even though most people won't ever see it. GPLv3, on the other hand, is much more explicit about saying that t

That actually makes me wonder: how, if at all, is this different from creating a government agency or non-profit corporation or whatever, giving it ownership of the river, and chartering it to protect the river? Such an entity would have th

Yes. Performance reviews are short-term focused, so by the time the bureaucracy gets around to formally cancelling your old project, it will have probably forgotten that you were the one who created it. Add to that a healthy dose of toxic p

A while back, a lot of Big Tech platforms (most notably GitHub) switched their "should we put black or white text on this user-supplied background color" algorithm to use the WCAG contrast formula. Doing so caused a lot of white-o

by csande17 3y ago
The concept of color contrast isn't niche, but building your color palette around the WCAG contrast algorithm kind of is. It's useful for checking boxes if you're required to do WCAG audits, but is neither necessary nor suffi

If it was an SEO trick, you'd think they wouldn't bother at-mentioning people. Usually SEO stuff tries to fly under the radar so it can stay online, and visible to search engines, for as long as possible. (Like the classic techniq

The approach you're describing is pretty much how frameworks like React work. I think there are two main reasons why the more lightweight options don't go for this: 1. In the React space, you have to write two conversion steps: fi

There are 482 cities in California, so presumably at least 449 of them manage without a state university.

Aren't those things all already handled by the city in most cities? (Except state universities, which aren't in many cities anyway.) That's why fire and police departments are named after the city they operate in, and mayors
