No, that's not why cars have those things. Those things only work properly when people are wearing their seat belts, they don't do anything when the driver gets thrown out a window. Maybe airbags could help in niche situations.

I was imagining the coolant comes in at a lower temp like 20 and maybe keeps the air from going above 40. It doesn't have to do that much, but maybe you're right. I'm sure they'd be doing this if it was practical, being

As far as software projects go I'd say GitHub or whatever VCS you prefer. For photos and documents etc you could look into cloud storage like OneDrive. A friend recently told me about filen.io which provides a similar service but with

I wonder if you could just put a conventional heatsink in there to cool the air inside the box? You would have a liquid block on the CPU but you'd also have a heat sink on top that transfers heat from the air to the coolant block, work

So your suggestion to the TA is to ask literally the exact same question but slightly different?

by sfn42 1y ago
No, devs being bad is not a solvable problem. You just have to find devs who know what they're doing, or at least have a few who can teach the less talented ones and check their work. There is no programming language that you can'

Yeah, I don't like the split second spinners. And I work on company internal apps so every user is generally on a good connection. What I might do is just add a global spinner using tanstack query, what I don't like is having 50 d

People aren't rational. If people were rational we would have been building exclusively nuclear, wind, solar and other clean power generation for the past 40+ years and coal power would have been history decades ago. Natural gas would

Yeah I understand it's for home use. I am imagining a tower in the back yard or something. It would be closed so that nobody can walk under the weight. Or it could be internal to the house like an elevator shaft. Anyway I agree it&#x27

This was a really well done article, great work! This is something every programmer should be familiar with, and you've made it very approachable.

That's not the issue. All these technologies can be nice and snappy. The problem is that developers suck at making software nice and snappy. I've taken over several react apps over the years and one thing I always end up doing is

I don't even think the gravity battery thing is viable for individual residential power storage at all. I was just wondering why you'd assume that the 100 ton weight would be placed directly above your house given the obvious prob

by sfn42 1y ago
Why would you put it above your house? Just construct a sort of battery tower nearby.

It's crazy to me that we're now writing articles about the fact that a large number is large. Hey guess what, I can imagine a number even larger. It's BB(6) + 1, isn't that amazing and interesting? Wow imagine BB(6) mult

If I started a new job and it became clear to me that my superiors just wanted me to shut up and do what I'm told, I would be looking for a new job immediately.

I kind of started this thread but didn't have the energy to argue about it. You provided the exact argument I wanted, thanks for that. This is exactly the reason why I am adamant that LLMs are not intelligence. They do this really impr

As a developer I work closely with my managers and designers etc to ensure that our project goes smoothly and that we create a good product. I don't necessarily decide what we build but I have a lot of ways to influence what we build a

Being confidently wrong isn't even the problem. It's a symptom of the much deeper problem that these things aren't AI at all, they're just atocomplete bots good enough to kind of seem like AI. There's no actual inte

That's just gaming. It doesn't matter what developers do, some portion of the playerbase will be mad about it. Nerf a thing, someone gets mad, don't nerf it someone else gets mad. I'm sure some people will get mad at bot

I played thousands of hours of KZ in CSGO. I knew pretty much everyone in the community back then, was involved with House of Climb as a sort of crew member/moderator and set a couple world records and top 5 times etc. Those were great

By "six different games" do you mean six practically identical re-releases of the same game?

Seems to me like we're in agreement.

That would be an enormous waste of time. 99.9% of software doesn't have to be anywhere near optimal. It just has to not be wasteful. Sadly lots of software is blatantly wasteful. But it doesn't take fancy assembly micro optimizati

You're saying real estate companies actually pay people to investigate "haunted" houses? That's crazy

Sure man, maybe in a few decades or centuries, who knows. I'll continue to concern myself with what's actually possible and not worry much about what doesn't seem possible.

by sfn42 1y ago
That's not really possible. You need fish and fishing mechanics, you can't just create a game where fishing happens to be possible without anyone having thought about it. You would basically need a life simulator for that, with ru

An intelligent reader might read that advice, realize they don't really know what indexes are nor how to use them, then do some research and learn what they need so that they can use indexes to their advantage. It would be a extremely
