Interestingly, so did server cpu thread performance, I guess we're now starting to see more direct prioritization of core count versus core performance, which I kind of understand, it's superficially simpler to think about horizon

Interesting, I've been in software development for a little more than 10 years, and just about every point I've read, I more or less agree one, will be interesting to see if it changes the next 10.

yeah, I've been forced onto it by corporate on my windows machine.. from an aesthetic and usability point of view, there's only negatives.. the ui is even worse than 10, flat and featureless and ugly, looks like a bad prototype th

I call this exploratory programming, though my approach aligns more with the article I posted here, than with the Wikipedia definition. I primarily use this method as a step preceding the actual production-quality implementation. It’s not l

This is exactly what I'm trying to say. The actions are underway by muscles (or _just_ completed) and the brain catches something's off and so ctrl+c is queued.

That'd be interesting, but I don't know how to prove that I'm not just "pretending" to make typos and correcting them instantly ?
128.
by dusted 2y ago
Yes exactly! This is what I'm trying to argue as well, it happens quite often for me that I submit a typo because it's already "on it's way out" when I catch it (but before, or about the same time it's finished

> Corporate creatures are similar, they simply don't share our emotions. That doesn't mean they don't understand or wont cater to them. I agree, in many ways corps exhibit the same behavior as psychopaths, after all, peopl

I agree, I think it would be very reasonable to instate the death penalty for corps. It's difficult though because they've already identified legal structures that make them very difficult to kill and even more difficult to kill i

I'm not defending corps. I'm not defending the people that make them up. I'm not attacking them either per se. I'm just saying that maybe viewing them in a different perspective, from a different level of abstraction, ma

by dusted 2y ago
So far, your view (that the individuals making up the corp can significantly influence its behaviour) has been the approach the world has taken so far, and yet, corps are not exactly getting more well behaved. Please reconsider whether cont

> Humans definitely have control over how a corp behaves. I will counter this with: The argument that the humans that make up a corp are in control over it, and that the corp behaviour simply results from their flawed and greedy characte

Convenience kills. I think every sane individual in the world knows the article speaks the truth, and I think everyone wants this to happen. But corporations are not individuals, corps are their own life-form, and even though humans make up

There are different ways to measure reaction time. Circumstance is important. Reaction to unreasonable, unexpected events will be very slow due to processing and trying to understand what happens and how to respond. Examples, you are a race

at least fractions of a second, 250 would already be much more noticble.. 100 is a nice compromise between "can't react" and "have to wait", assuming you're already realizing you probably messed up

by dusted 2y ago
I think it makes sense, if I typed something wrong, I often feel it before I can read it, but if I already pushed enter, being able to ctrl+c within 100 ms is enough to save me. I'm pretty sure I've also aborted git pushes before

Selling a piece of cardboard for $22 is an amazing achievement, recycled or not. It's beyond my comprehension. The world is at the same time much too poor and much too rich. I'm already sensing the throwing away of perfectly good

Currently, Ukrainans are. But I suppose the color of their skin means they don't count towards the particular argument that dude is trying to make. Not calling him racist of course. I'm not even suggesting it. [update] Hey! Look!

What I mean is that I think this is the fastest way to end the era of widely-available general-purpose-computing devices that we are currently in (and that is currently ending, but at a glacial speed). It's not that hard to imagine a v

Yes, but I don't see how that's different. If you have a common interest, and someone says something about this that you have a thought on, which could be of interest to the other people, you still have to wait your turn, you don&

Addendum: You need to set a strict dmarc policy for the checks to fail. Interestingly, the sites will tell you all three are correct and valid, but still fail the mail.. This is probably due to different pieces of software doing the dns rec

I'm afraid I can't, even though I really want to, it would probably violate some copyrights, if not those of the swf authors, then the authors of various content such as video, audio or graphics used in them :(

well, there's not even a proprietary player anymore.. at least on recent linux, you'll be hard pressed to play .swf files without ruffle.
