This is a load of bullshit man. Even the article you linked describes lying to his friends' parents to get a second dinner, being unable to have just one cookie etc. The only way to get fat is to eat too much and anyone who really eats

Thats not too surprising as most web developers are JS developers. I'm sure JS will stay dominant at least a while longer, but in the .NET world Blazor is quite popular as far as web frameworks go. I imagine it will keep gaining popula

A modern blazor wasm app is nowhere near 300mb. There are techniques to reduce this size like tree shaking. There's no need to include lots of unused libraries. Modern Blazor can do server side rendering for SEO/crawlers and fast

> Expecting your average front-end logic to be compiled in WebAssembly does not make much sense. Why not? .NET Blazor and others already do that. In my eyes this was the whole hype of WASM. Replace JS. I don't give a crap about runn

You're still ignoring the fact that there is an absolutely unfathomably insane amount of water on the planet. The world's largest pump (according to a quick search) can pump 60,000 liters per second. The oceans contain over 1.3 bi

Yeah except the highest volume facility in the world is called mammoth and in order to offset our current emissions we would need a million mammoths. Even if you could make it a thousand times more efficient it would be a stretch.

Never in the history of the planet has the temperature increased anywhere near as quickly as it's doing now. If you look at a chart of historic temperature levels, pretty much every significant change on that chart corresponds to a mas

It's not expensive and hard, it's impossible. The largest carbon capture facility in the world is called mammoth, and in order to offset our current emissions we would need a million of them. We can not build a million of them. Th

Well here's the thing - there's quite a lot of water out there too. How long and how many terawatts of power do you think it'll take to suck a significant fraction of the earth's seawater through a capture facility?
281.
by sfn42 10mo ago
The thing people don't think about with regards to CO2 capture is that you have to get the atmosphere in order to capture CO2 from it. You essentially have to suck the entire atmosphere into these carbon capture facilities. Using somet

Of course warming is accelerating. Emissions are accelerating and the second and third order effects of ice cap loss, thawing permafrost etc are setting in on top. We have known about this for a century at this point and it's still bei

Never really tried anything. Just thought about it but I don't know the first thing about audio programming and like I said it doesn't seem viable for smart tvs anyway so I never did anything with it.

YouTube does this. When I open a video the quality is set to Auto by default. It'll also show the "actual" quality next to it, like "Auto 1080p". Complete lie. I see this and see the video looks like 480p, manually

I am floored that people really expect integrated TV speakers to be good.

I toyed with the idea of making some kind of app for this but while it may work on desktop it seems less viable for smart tvs which is what I primarily use. Though I have switched to mostly using Plex, so maybe I could look into doing somet

As opposed to the House model where every episode is exactly the same with some superficial differences? I like the long movie format, lots of good shows to watch. Movies feel too short to properly tell a story. It's just like a few hi

Mocking and integration tests are not mutually exclusive. I often use mocks in my integration tests. Some things can be integration tested, some things can't. Sone things you just need to mock.

by sfn42 10mo ago
I use test containers and similar methods to test against a "real" db, but I also use mocks. For example to mock the response of a third party api, can't very well spin that up in a test container. Nother example is simply ti

You can do that with a details element, you just need some code to actually do it. Which I'm pretty sure there's no possible solution that doesn't require some code to do that. Really don't see what your complaint is.

You're doing it wrong. You don't have to remember the incantations. You just have to remember that they exist, and then google them or ask an LLM when you need them. If you use something enough you'll remember. If you don&#x2

I've never met a designer who wasn't completely fine with my suggestions for more pragmatic solutions. Like just styling a default scrollbar instead of implementing my own scrollbar to make it exactly like the design. Using a defa

It's total BS though. If you have enough money to waste any significant amount on gambling, then you also have enough to save that same significant amount. I don't think it's necessarily the worst thing if you waste like $10

I just go into SSMS and expand the columns for the tables I care about in the left hand explorer, screenshot it and send that to copilot.

It's totally fine to prototype, but you need to take care when you try to morph a prototype into a real product. Very often people just take the shortest path from a to b, every single time. So you start with a reasonably shoddy protot

Just because you won't use it doesn't mean it's not useful. Lots of programmers use math. Lots of programmers use DSA knowledge on a daily basis - and if you aren't you're probably writing bad code. I see a lot of O
