The baseline performance for any sort of react-based web app is going to be pretty bad if you're comparing it to a state-of-the-art game engine. The build status page for the CI/CD pipeline we use at my work has around 2x the CPU

RSS seems to have worked out quite well for audio content, viz. podcasts; there doesn't seem to be any technical reason why it wouldn't work equally well for video media.

It's worth pointing out that this research was conducted by arguing with people on twitter via a bunch of automated bots. It's not really that surprising that people will [be slightly more likely to] double down if they notice tha

Sometimes when I go to a friend's house, they have dishes in their sink that have obviously been there for a number of days. Conversely, I have had roommates who will cook a complex meal, dirtying many dishes in the process, but still

If you have a manager, it's literally their job to manage your performance as an employee, and that includes your work-life balance. Some managers are bad at their jobs (or belong to organizations which would prefer to burn out their e

Presumably, the cost-benefit analysis here is being done on a population-wide basis--leaving a large portion of the population unvaccinated lets them act as a reservoir for the virus, hindering progress towards herd immunity (recall that no

It depends heavily on the genre, at least for me. So-called genre fiction--mysteries, sci-fi, fantasy, that sort of thing--really doesn't hold up to rereading, since the whole draw is, by and large, the setting and the plot. I still re

Unfortunately, in some states, even after reading and cross-referencing dozens of obtuse rules and tables from a given company's rules and rates filing, you may eventually find that the final premium relies on the output of some manner

You should probably include your full credit history as well, since in most US states (i.e. where legally allowed) that has a very large impact on your premium.

Maybe this is my naivety showing, but to my knowledge it's not a common occurrence for companies to sue employees for refusing to work for them, especially if (as the OP notes elsewhere in the thread) there's no actual contractual

Even if they did "pin it on him," why should he care, exactly? Seems to me like he had no obligations here, contractual, ethical, or otherwise.

I can bake a pretty good apple pie from scratch, OP. Took me more years to master that than learning how to calculate cohomologies or administrate a kubernetes cluster did.

I find the article quite compelling, honestly. If anything, reframing conversations about computer-generated products from "what were the methods of production" to "whom does the production serve" is even more relevant t

The same argument also played out over the course of the 20th century around the status of photography as an art form and how it changes the relationship between the artist and their subject--Sontag's _On Photography_ is probably the b

The argument appears to be that using a computer to generate a piece of art is not a meaningful distinction from using e.g. a camera or a paintbrush, and so "computer art" is not a useful category. This appears to be couched in a

Who, exactly, do you think gets the money from journal access fees? I'll give you a hint, it's not the people who write the articles, nor the people who peer-review them, nor the universities who employ either group.

I've ended up automating most of the data pulling with Puppeteer and a pile of poorly-written JavaScript; every once in a while one of the scripts breaks, but it's pretty rare and easy enough to repair.

Yeah, that seems right. I'd also believe you if you told me that the second arrow also needs to be linear, since I can't really give a good reason why it should be one way or the other off the top of my head. I admittedly don&#x27

The general idea is that the discipline is automatically enforced via the type system, e.g. you have a library which provides a type FragileAndDangerousResource, but the only way to interact with such a thing is via (linear) functions along
