I really dislike kickstand style laptop/tablet designs, a proper hinge is stable even on oddly shaped surfaces, doesn't collapse when picked up, can be used while sitting on the palm of your hand etc.

How was "put thing on my sweaty workout face that 30 other people have put on their sweaty workout faces today" not an immediate sign that this was a bad idea right at the start? It doesn't matter that they supposedly kill th

Wouldn't being underwater make you slower just due to the extra resistance of water vs air?

My naive assumption would be that it would be a fairly gradual process. You'd just always have a sliding window of the last N years of memories, with the older ones being progressively more fuzzy and unreliable.

One package management feature that not even the really good languages seem to have is synchronizing dependency versions across multiple packages, usually in the context of a monorepo. Like if my codebase has webapp A, library A and library

Yeah I very rarely rebase, just autosquash PR commits into one on merge to master (and also delete the source branch to avoid similar headaches) + making sure PRs are fairly small and focused. Regular merges where commits have been cherry p

As long as you never ever cherry-pick from one branch to another when the source branch is intended to eventually be actually merged (directly or indirectly) into the destination branch I think it has its use cases. If you break this rule

I prefer the exact same approach for learning to play board games too. Your 20 minutes of rules explanation will go completely over my head unless you start with "the goal/win condition of the game is to get more points/reach

The stack size starts at 2mb, but unless the code in the thread actually uses that it doesn't really get consumed, because virtual memory.

Id argue that's exactly why we should look at per capita data, otherwise people and companies from smaller countries look at the data and throw their hands up in the air and do nothing because (some big country) dwarfs the numbers from

Anecdotally as someone who writes a lot of Typescript - which has a very expressive type system, most of the time when I need to help someone who's "fighting" with the type system the issue is that they've written a bug

by p1necone 3y ago
I'd be much more interested in needing less unit tests with stronger typing than avoiding needing stronger typing by writing more unit tests. The former seems like much less work.

Playstation exclusive/Sony published (single player) AAAs are a pretty safe bet. I can't think of any that have bad faith paid content - just mini expansion/story dlc type stuff. Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, Ho

Public transport is not run at a loss as a form of wealth distribution, it's run at a loss because the impact on the economy/society via enabling people to move around more freely is not captured via ticket prices. It's no di

Transport adds value by allowing people and goods to move around with less friction. That value is realized by second/third/fourth order effects (bigger labour force available to businesses, money travelling around a wider network

If you do a lot of walking around, using public transport etc. And you tend to want to pull your laptop out and use it in places where you maybe don't have a proper desk/table to put it on then having a really small laptop can be

Yes, I imagine the framework mostly got a mention because it's one of the vanishingly few laptops available with a 3:2 screen, along with it being generally built well. The article didn't even talk about it, just put it on a list.

Yeah but the point is that the vast majority of people buying full sized pickup trucks aren't actually using them for practical purposes, and it turns out that when something becomes a status symbol like that for so long the capabiliti

Not quite as technologically involved, but there are some disc based games with novel uses of disc swapping. Monster Rancher is a monster breeding game where you get new monsters via inserting any other disc into the console.

This is actually a pretty great analogy. Could be even closer if the biters came in and stole materials, or replaced things on cargo belts as well as just trying to destroy things.

It's worth noting that those numbers are partially because of licensing, not just technical constraints. All of the original publishing contracts allowed Microsoft to sell Xbox/Xbox 360 games on those systems specifically , so Mi

Absolutely. When I say I don't want to be in a management role, I mean I don't want to be in the role that most tech companies seem to call "management", which is usually someone mostly completely divorced from actual te

I have this setup, it's pretty awesome. Afaik you can't put a HDD bigger than 1TB in a PS2 so it's the only way to go if you want the set and forget experience of just having the entire PS2 library available to you. You can l

Sure but I can accomplish that by being a technical lead - planning architecture, reviewing code, mentoring junior devs, building libraries etc.
