The problem with carbon capture is volume. There is about 0.04% CO2 in air. So in order to remove a ton of CO2, you would need to process thousands of tons of air, depending on the efficiency of the extraction process. It's just kind o

Sure, that's completely reasonable. But getting hung up on them for an hour is ridiculous. I also think they're unnecessary in the first place. I wouldn't hold it against anyone in a scenario like you described but I also wou

I have some wool sweaters, home made by people I care about. I also have some store bought wool sweaters. By almost any measure, the store boughts are better. But I don't care about them. If the store bought ones get destroyed or worn

If you give users a way to compromise their own security, scammers will find a way to make users compromise themselves.

That's hilarious. Reminds me of another person in my life who just burns everything. I keep telling her to calm down with the heat and she keeps putting her induction top on boost then just going to do something else while things burn.

It's not really that unbelievable. The pasta just has to be in hot water, whether it's 99.9C or 95C doesn't make much of a difference. I use this technique to boil eggs - boil water, turn off heat, add eggs. It seems to help

I've thought about that but it's not a problem for me. I throw the pasta in, give it a stir, then leave it until the timer rings. Never have any sticky clumps.

Those are bad questions. The task is given, you're asking why do I have these constraints - obviously you have them because they made them. Without the constraints there's no task. It doesn't matter why you can't fix the

It's a common mistake. Just this weekend I followed a recipe from a well known cooking website for beef stroganoff that said to brown the beef in batches together with batches of onion. That's not a good idea, the onion will relea

I would highly recommend using a specialized library like BenchmarkDotNet. It's more relevant for microbenchmarks but can be used for less micro benchmarks as well. It will do things like force you to build in Release mode to avoid deb

There are tools that can analyze a page for accessibility. I don't have experience with them but I wouldn't be surprised if you could include them in a CI/CD pipeline. I don't know whether they specifically control for c

Playwright is essentially a programmable headless browser. It sends a request to a page, waits for the response to load and then for things like React rendering, secondary requests etc, then once the page is ready you can do whatever you wa

If you're serious about performance you generally want to use a benchmark library like JMH for Java or BenchmarkDotNet for .Net. At least for those kinds of languages where there's garbage collection and just in time compilation,

by sfn42 1y ago
Isn't that part of the point? If the code runs in the scheduler then its performance is relevant. Same with garbage collection, if the garbage collector slows your algorithm down then you usually want to know, you can try to avoid allo

Tools like playwright allow pretty nice web UI testing. You can make sure things are working properly and continue working as things change. Doesn't replace human testing but it does ease the human load and help catch problems and regr

They can however tell you whether the button/form/page/whatever is working and continues working.

You don't have to participate. I don't play any pay to win games. I play some games with in-game micro transactions like cosmetics and such, but I don't spend money on it. For me it's really an ideal situation. I can pla

Then move out of West Virginia. Or find something that works in WV. Those are their options. I also can't say I have much sympathy for people who voted for Trump and then got screwed by Trump. West virginians overwhelmingly voted red.

I've seen a lot more employed shitty devs than I've seen unemployed amazing devs. In fact I don't know a single competent developer who has trouble getting work. This is in Norway, maybe it's different elsewhere.

The OP said he blew interviews out of the water. Presumably they mean technical interviews, that's how he proved he can code. By writing code. Lots of devs don't have personal projects. I love programming but after spending the wh

I don't generally keep the entire thread in mind when reading and responding to comments. If I spend a lot of time in an area I learn it and don't need gps to navigate it, however I might use gps just to find specific addresses as

I'm not talking about large scale. I'm also not talking about politics, which I assume is what you're implying re my motives. I don't have any motives, I'm not even American. I don't really care about all the c

I think it's pretty clear that I'm not referring to Palestinians, Ukrainians or Syrians etc here. I support refugee programs but I also acknowledge that we have limited resources. We can't help everyone. We can't just op

I'd suggest that Mr. Estes find a different mine to work at if he insists on continuing to work in mining. He could also pivot to other industry, safety is a big deal in most industry. I'm sure they would consider him at many loca

Same. Bought a 6950xt for like $800ish or something like that a few years ago and it's been perfect. Runs any game I want to play on ultra 1440p with good fps. No issues. Maybe there's a difference for the people who buy the absol

There's plenty of rural areas with plenty of opportunities. Cities are not the only option. If I lived in a dead mining town I'd move elsewhere. You can blame corporations or whatever you want, doesn't matter whose fault it

Yeah. If society no longer needs your job then you need to find something else to do. Doesn't have to be software, we mine other things than coal. We need builders, plumbers, electricians, lots of possibilities. Software dev opportunit

If you live in a dead town with no opportunities then you either make your own opportunities or you move to a place with opportunities. If you just sit on your hands complaining about the lack of opportunities then you won't get any sy

If you drive into a lake or anything like that it's your own fault not the GPS. It doesn't control the car it just tells you directions. And if you know the area well enough to make judgements like the other things you mentioned,

I can't remember a whole route just from looking at the map once. Also maps generally don't show whether streets are one way and things like that. I just type the address into Google maps, or place a pin manually, then hit the sta
