I just want to know how do you keep a job as a manager when you fuck up so badly. The vast majority of what seniors bring to the table is experience. That is also what you pay for. That experience is not like gold, it's like a gold min

Even that "exponential" growth is a not a thing anymore. There are factors which make it less obvious (growing TDPs of modern CPUs and GPUs; going wider, i.e. increasing the number of CPU cores, instead of faster; making chiplets

Yep, no one uses obfuscation for security (I hope!) and given the Electron's modus operandi, copying your entire codebase is trivial... unless you make it not trivial.

Before someone asks why would you obfuscate, here's common use case: There's plenty of paid/proprietary Electron apps these days and they're not just websites, some of them do some heavy lifting under the hood and people

Nope, but I can see the jsfuck example doing something like that as it kinda weirdly lagged on mine (android 12, chrome 103).

"Green" is an extremely politicized term. The nuclear aversion has nothing to do with rational thinking and everything to do with emotions. And since most people have emotions, you can get highly educated people to be "green&

Good. The government should be afraid of the people 100% of the time. Because when the people are afraid of the government, that's called tyranny. Also, it would do a lot of good for the politicians to be afraid a little, just to remin

You see I've seen this "argument" a million times and it's always the same: braces are somehow visual noise. And that's it. No more arguments, it's just this one. And it's a very weak one, one that is larg

Depends on your budget of course, but I don't think it's worth $10/month. I pay just a little bit more than that for an entire IDE. The problem with Copilot is that it's USEFUL for boilerplate code and when you need a lo

That makes no sense. You pay taxes on realized gains (i.e. when you cash out), not unrealized ones... otherwise people like Elon Musk would have to pay tens of billions of dollars in taxes and sell off part of their stock to even be able to

I don't really get the debate. Surely people recognize that Apple is one of the most left-wing friendly (worker rights etc., you know the deal) and accomodating places to work at, if you care about such things. Surely people recognize

First of all, you have to manage your expectations and be mentally prepared for the fact that you will just not get most of the engine. UE is a massive project (and that is an understatement) and you will be a VERY good student if you just
