That’s why you hook the linter up so it runs on every commit / push. No need to ask, it always runs. And no need to quibble over style. Don’t like it? Change the linter.

I had a similar experience with wild bison - I’ve spent time around domesticated cattle and the wild ones seemed much more intelligent and aware. They would react as soon as you showed your silhouette on the ridge top.

My favorites were from back when I would get them from product teams that had already had a good crack at them, with fixes like painting the device black, learning a new algorithm, modifying the os core, and so on. Didn’t always succeed but

50k extra per year, to get it you need to spend only 100k-200k… per year… It sometimes makes sense, when you are junior, need to form a network, and have low expenses. One can look at it as an investment. But not for the average engineer ov

Sure. But if you didn’t have to pay it (ie living there wasn’t a requirement)?

Absolutely this. A down payment in the valley is enough to buy outright in most of the USA.

Sf Bay Area can easily exceed 2 hours each way if you aren’t willing to pay insane money on housing. It honestly made me wonder how low income people exist there at all. I did more than 2 hours each way for many years there but only by ridi

The real problem is that school personnel don’t want to deal with the parents of the actual problem kids, so they get away with it even under zero tolerance.

Be careful to check the support for larger ram on the motherboard as well as cpu - I’ve got an am5 setup with 128gb of ram but the it had to be down locked to even post.

I burned several Linux boot cds with some games on them and took over an unused computer lab at the community college for a lan party. It lasted until someone came around asking why these computers were running when their system showed them

One of the great lessons of game design is that learning is fun. So games that require thought are more engaging and fun. There is a threshold where it isn’t fun, but that’s different from person to person. Lots of people like the souls gam

California highway patrol had some license plate holders that would prevent them from pulling you over, but that took a hit some time back when counterfeits hit the market. CHP 11-99 club issued them.

I looked at the specs at the start of the year and just built something with the high end of consumer parts at around 4k usd. I was able to replicate the mlc 2x7900xtx results running some LLMs. Good enough to run most of the big models in

With my experience around poorer schools in the USA I would worry that the filter wouldn’t get replaced for decades and itself become a breeding ground for molds.

Yeah, even a single UV bulb in the cold air return might be effective. This is well known in hiking circles where UV is used to sanitize water. I might hook one up now that I have the idea.

Proton? It has about 89 percent success, nowhere close to Falcon 9’s 99 percent success rate.

Mandatory car insurance is a thing in most of the us, except for New Hampshire and Virginia.

Most people do not change the defaults, if they are aware of a choice at all.

That’s what table corners are for.

Yeah that’s what I meant. The fallacy being that people assume the cameras are as good as their eyes, especially when looking at footage shot through them without any basis for comparison.

by plasticchris 2y ago
Yes, and in looking between the real scene and the display these errors are present in both.

It’s very true of the current automotive cameras. Just put them on a good display and look between the screen and reality. Source: I have done that.

Showing the camera footage from these vehicles (and the Uber ATG incident) causes a fallacy most people don’t even realize - eyes are way better than current cameras. So you think visibility was worse than it is, things were further away an

Yes - people bought it to upgrade, as the step up from dos to 3.1 to win95 was huge.

An issue with these parts was that the OOB config wasn’t very good - even if you knew to turn on the XMP profiles it still threw a ridiculous amount of voltage at the chip in pursuit of a few percent performance increase.

I have a 3700x I keep around 1.05v and it is completely quiet (and p95 stable) under a massive air cooler which basically never spins up the fans.
