   A constraint like "make the top of this 20px below the top of the screen" should be no more computationally expensive than "margin-top: 20px". I'm not familiar with Apple's Auto-layout but why is it so slow? Ma

   That's 2/4? The kitkat bars look nothing like kitkat bars for the most part (logo? splits? white cream filling?). The DNA armor is made from normal metal links.

    AFAICT Filevine doesn't use AI programming: https://www.filevine.com/jobs/d64dfff5-e36f-4db6-adac-0fc082... There's no mention of AI there other than writing code to integrate AI pipelines. I've seen a l

    And notably, there's some dissent there that the modern Disney/Pixar versions are wrong (there's an arbitrariness to scanners, plus no particularly objective recordings of what you'd actually see at theaters back then) I

    I had Code Complete (uh, I think?) and stuff like using early returns and consistency with conditional clauses (negative or positive first) was an interesting way of looking at software. I don't think I ever read the full book though.

    There's a 100% chance that you can't work in person with your full team, so if you think in-person work is important I'm not sure how overall it can be better value, since you won't get that.

    The abstract wasn't clear to me, but looking it up FDA recommends 20mcg = 800 IU, and the paper recommends 8000 IU. It seems like others are more conservative (7000 IU). I don't think I've ever seen the 20mcg rec, everywhere

    It's weird that so many pioneer game developers are publishing new games today independently. By name alone the game is going to get some attention. How are publishers so bad at retaining creators? Why isn't this being published b

    Windows is bad because it has opinions about advertisements and AI. MacOS is bad because it has opinions about what hardware you should use. Linux is bad because it doesn't have opinions.

    I've seen non-programmers learn SQL, and SQL is far more inconsistent, complex, non-orthogonal, fragmented, footgunny, and user hostile than most programming languages. I'm not sure what I mean by this, WRT XSLT vs Javascript.

    I agree the GP math is wrong. But still, is this good? So 14 cases are referred to law enforcement. They catch 7 people doing really terrible things, and they also catch 7 who are innocent. The police are notorious for treating weak signals
