No, you’ve misunderstood it. calc(100% - 0) is invalid too. There is no bug in the spec, this is reasonable and sensible behaviour (subtracting a unitless value from a length just doesn’t make sense as a concept, mathematically). You’re just surprised because the <length> grammar item allows unitless zero. It is the exception, not the mathematics functions. (Frankly, I think that if breaking changes were allowed in CSS with absolutely no considerations for compatibility, unitless zero lengths would probably be removed. It’s messy and inconsistent and consequently unpleasant.) As an example of another thing that requires a unit on zeroes: <time>, 0 is invalid, 0s and 0ms are valid.

President Biden gave a speech about a specific person and what he perceives that person's threat to America to be, and Snowden omits any mention of that person, describes Biden's speech as being only about "his political opposition" and uses that as a springboard for... stuff. It's almost as if he didn't watch or read the speech, but only saw screen grabs and headlines from people who hate Biden.

At this stage we could simply adopt german communist measures and simply intercept anything and everyone. Maybe make apartment walls thin enough so neighbours can spy on each other. We could create new branches of government and name them STASI, Securitate, NKVD or even KGB. Our phones, emails, computers and laptops are all tracked, private life on public roads is monitored on levels never imagined by said agencies. Crime is not really going down as a result so what is the actual motive behind all this? Has the western world sleep walked into a dystopian nightmare that makes china pale in scale and scope?
My phone costs $300.

Frankly, it's absurd to pay laptop prices for a phone.
Plastic is made from oil, so at best it could be carbon neutral (assuming all energy used to process and recycle it is carbon neutral).
If you have a small team of engineers and you need the added productivity of a more ergonomic language, then go ahead with Kotlin. In particular it's good for "lite-functional" style with OO mixed in, and your engineers get to keep all the familiarity they have with the JVM ecosystem.

It's not some panacea though, and at the end of the day Java is the system language of the JVM. New VM features are not built to cater to the guest languages. In the case of virtual threads we have a directly competing "async" solution to Kotlin coroutines. So you may see further ecosystem split between libraries catering to Android and those catering to backend work.
There are potential answers to this, like lasers on ships for point defense and on UAV's for area defense. We don't really know what secret projects are running.

Still sending a carrier in an area where such weapons operate looks like a tricky proposition.
After being a long time lurker on this forum , I felt compelled to leave a comment as I found myself in a very similar situation.

Background : Was burnt out having spent ten years working in a FAANG company, father was undergoing treatment for cancer and my wife was due with twin boys!

Couple of thoughts:

Talk to friends: Two months before the boys were due - I sent a text to three of closest friends to say that I was feeling overwhelmed by life and needed to chat to someone. This was by far the best thing I did . They had great advice but more importantly I was able to get my concerns out in the air and examine them in the cold light of day. If you are not comfortable talking to a friend , reach out to a therapist or even a helpline. It really is good to talk.

Take to mgmt in another department or in your industry: Taking a step back and thinking about your scenario from the company's perspective. Talk to managers in other departments or outside your company to discuss how best to manage this situation. They will give you a steer on how best to navigate this scenario for your mutual benefit. For example if you know you are expecting a child - have a plan in place for how you will ensure your work can be completed in your absence , who could take over etc. Have a plan and communicate that plan on a regular basis.

Priorities your family / depriortise work : For me I made the decision to move horizontal and to put off making a significant career move for a year. Making the decision not to make a change freed me from the background stress of feeling I was stuck. If you can - take what ever time is available for you to be with your family.

Cut yourself some slack - Before the boys arrived I trained everyday, went to the theatre , did self study and had a number of commitments outside of the house. I decided to depriortise a number of things and dial down the pressure I was putting on myself.

Surf the wave: By nature I am a problem solver but something's can't be solved in the short term or require trade offs in the long term. During the most stressful periods I visualised myself surfing the wave ! If I tried to fight it , I would be crushed - but by going with the flow and enjoying the ride - it helped me cope.

Finally - here is the secret no one tells you. We are all laughably under prepared ! I was worried about not being the type of father I had but what you realises is Parenthood is a journey not a destination . You learn on the job.
BTC being portrayed as "bad for the environment" is just as ridiculous as trying to guilt people into buying meat alternatives or electric cars because their way of life is "bad for the environment".

Almost 90% of the world's pollution comes from unregulated factories in China spewing literal tons of waste into the air and water - Nike, Apple, BMW, Adidas, etc factories [0]. If these companies were forced to care about the environment or move manufacturing back into their home countries, the "environmental crisis" would be solved overnight.

But this can't happen because the companies will make less money - so instead they shift the blame onto the consumer: BTC is bad, plastic straws are bad, think about your "carbon footprint" (a term invented by big oil thinktanks to shift blame back onto their customers [1]). Nothing that private citizens do has any impact whatsoever on the environment when compared to the actions of these corporations. Only difference is they have billions of dollars to spend convincing you it's your fault.

> I'm not sure I understand why memory is important for gaming? For most games, with every settings maxed up, it'll be a stretch if it uses 6GB of VRAM.

Depends on what kind of gaming you do, not all games consume the same type of resources from the GPU. Simulation games will usually be limited by RAM size/speed, VRAM size/speed and CPU, rather than actual clock speed of GPUs. Action games would require better latency and not so much about VRAM/RAM size and so on.
Your car analogy is missing the fuel aspect. If I can get 1000HP with 50MPG, instead of 1000HP at 5MPG, I would buy a Ferrari.

At the high-end, Nvidia is making more powerful cards (HP) with the same fuel efficiency as before. Maybe they are making more efficient cards at the lower end but those don’t get attention on HN it seems.
I am in a similar situation to you - 2 year old and a newborn and feeling a little burnt out at work.
The way I have been coping is just realizing that at this stage the timelines for pretty much everything shrink from months or years to hours and days. You need to focus on getting through the day at work, keeping sane, and being present for your partner and kiddo. Your work might not be pleasant, but you have been there for ten years so you should have a good idea of what your MVO (minimum viable output) is.
I think the Kanban approach of reducing the Work In Progress is the way to go.
I have made a conscious effort to not worry too much about big picture "career questions" and just focus on the task at hand.
Our first kid is young enough for me to know that things become more manageable once the kid is sleeping 5-6 hours at a time. For us, this happened around 4 months in.
Good luck, and I wish you and your family well!

I'd not be worried about wear but about whatever meddling was done with the firmware (edit: or hardware). Maybe an experienced miner knows how to easily return it back to stock, but who knows who you're dealing with. Someone else can take the chance.

Also, PC gamers are the last group I would expect to successfully boycott something. They'll install some spyware-ridden game launcher just to get a $5 discount on a game, while complaining about it. What discount will they resist for a mined-on GPU? $50? Assuming they even know it was mined on.
This tired argument has been trotted out repeatedly, and isn't really funny anymore. It's just old and boring.

For people like me who are new to JS and use these sorts of discussion to determine which technologies I should adopt first, it's really just pointless noise in the channel.

The little I know about JS so far, I definitely know this joke is tired and played out.

Step 2: Get a better joke please?
Sincere question: what's the alternative to drone strikes when dealing with organizations like Al Quaeda, Taliban or ISIS? It seems that in the past less targeted weapons would have been used causing even more damage to civilians in the vicinity. Drone strikes, raids (which still ended up killing a little girl) or just giving up and withdrawing are the only real options I can see.
I briefly flirted with the idea of going back to console town, but I just love modding my games too much.
According to another comment, it's a wrong point: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cleaning-up-bad-bots/

> Once enabled, when we detect a bad bot, we will do three things: (1) we’re going to disincentivize the bot maker economically by tarpitting them, including requiring them to solve a computationally intensive challenge that will require more of their bot’s CPU; (2) for Bandwidth Alliance partners, we’re going to hand the IP of the bot to the partner and get the bot kicked offline; and (3) we’re going to plant trees to make up for the bot’s carbon cost.
So confused on how you can feel that was for 10 years. That being said happy to take a look at your resume. Was a tech recruiter for 6 years before becoming an engineer.

Leetresume will make one for you for free as well. enhance.cv can give you a pretty template for free that you just need to fill in.

Take a week or two off as parental leave and smash some interviews in there.

I agree, uBlock Origin Minus was a better name. "Lite" is carrying water for Google.
Go ahead and happy to. No one else please. This is a business concept, polishing resumes and not a bad one, but it's not a business I am looking to be in.
I'd love inexpensive access to a supercomputer (and associated disk space) for my job so I can simulate huge volumes of fluids for movies.

This comment is just your continued trolling with your anti-crypto trope. Please try another tactic.

Update: I got downvoted to -4 on this one after getting several upvotes. Makes me think that articbull has multiple accounts and is just gaming the system.
Electricity use is only one part of energy consumption. Transportation costs, production costs, and even food generation are all included in the umbrella. Also, "costs" aren't just referring to dollars spent, but also environmental impact. Having cheap electricity is only a small part of the equation, and barely a relevant one at that.
I totally agree with you and you are not alone for certain.
Right. Fuck that register keyword.
> Obviously you're already in a good ball park, but GPs value of 2kWh/d/person is just really amazing.

It's 2kW/person, or 2kWh/h/person, or 48kWh/d/person
Funny because every time I need to work on anything angular I'm constantly thinking how over-engineered everything is and how much simpler it is in react.
You and badpun who replied below, equate meaning with care/not caring. Care or don't that's fine. It is meaning though. You've already committed to a particular meaning and are just making a point about what you'll give up to have less of it.

I won't touch that with a ten foot pole though. You devour the aim, the target and split your life in two, 8hrs at work, 8hrs asleep, when are you living?
Concurrent react actually makes your app less concurrent: https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/21668

5yrs in progress, it’s still not documented let alone fixed. I tried to look at the code, and they make giant PRs and are experimenting with priority queues and bitmasks, which seemed pretty off in the weeds to me.
I wonder if that's really true on hills. Most people ride hills with more effort, pushing down on one pedal at a time. The bike speeds up and slows down much more with each pedal stroke. Compare to the flats where you have a smooth stroke and very consistent output.

I could see all the mini accelerations adding up to a much larger energy expenditure than would be indicated by a spherical cow in a vacuum.
My intuition tells me it's mostly, if not all, security based decisions. Like, the reason that a lock is typically big and heavy and takes a little bit of trouble to open and close.
Yeah that's fair, VR titles are still a place where GPUs need more performance. I personally have no interest in them but yes the compute needs are in general way higher. Not to mention Flight Sim is a particularly intense case...
Have a look at the offers on Glasdoor. Only slightly above the typical Java Dev salary.
It's not a joke. It's reality. It gets mentioned repeatedly because of how true it is.
Agreed, it’s not expensive to start. Just wanted to add that if you don’t inherit or are not gifted stuff from friends and family for your kid that you need, check second hand stores and/or kijiji/Craigslist/etc first. Many items are 1/5 of the cost of buying it new, and a lot of the time it’s brand new anyways.

It does get expensive if you have to pay for care. Not sure where you live OP, or what your support system is like from family, so that may or may not be an issue.
> No, the point is that Rust does not replace C. At best, it’s “safe C++”.

This is a meaningless distinction. No language in the history of languages has ever strictly "replaced" another. Over time Rust will eat into the market share of every language to differing amounts. C and C++ top the list of languages that Rust will likely eat into the most, but of course they will still continue to exist and people will find reasons to continue using them.

> But for the use cases where even C++ is too much, there is no replacement for C.

Rust is a significantly less complicated language than C++. But what does this even mean, anyway? Whose use-case is "A systems programming language, but the spec can only be so many pages long?"

> (and even that’s debatable, given the cyclic references issue discussed here)

struct Node<T> {

Wow, so difficult! If the comparison is C, I don't even have to bother writing a safe abstraction around this.
This is the best piece of advice on this whole thread.
wondering if i should switch handlebars to narrower one. so currently i have 56 frame with 42 handlebars - thats "factory" setup. i noticed that also 54 frame has this handlebars, only 52 size frame comes with 40. anyone has any experiences how it will affect bike handling? i noticed that there is a trend rising to go with narrower handlebars on gravel bikes
I just read it, and I don't see any contradiction here. IMO, he's recommending simple and direct anti-bot methods to web admins specifically because it's better than relying solely on Cloudflare etc for all bot blocking. He never recommends making un-appealable access control decisions based on third-party lists, and specifically recommends caution on methods that might potentially impact innocent users. Seems perfectly consistent to me.
As someone who works at a utility, I respectfully disagree. From the wholesale energy market perspective, demand must be met.

Sure, you can slowly switch out old production for new cleaner sources of energy. The fastest way to reduce carbon footprints (and cheapest) is to reduce demand.

Growing consumer awareness over their over-consumption, to change their behaviour, is one of the most powerful and direct solutions we have.
The announcement post has a "Why use a WebAssembly Runtime?" section that might answer your question.
That's perfectly fine, let's build durable goods. I still have some tableware from my great-grandmother, more than 100 years old. It works just as well as new plates and forks.

But more than that, we won't have the choice. Thermodynamics will constrain us sooner or later.
The stupid thing is that it already is async and not locking up like it was in the very old days op refers to. They were just so clever as to add a timeout after which that dialog closes, regardless of whether the page actually finished loading. So on a slower page you end up with the popup disappearing while the page is still (mostly) blank and you don't know yet whether the credentials were correct.

I think just clicking in a blank spot (or the text fields) in that dialog stops the timeout, but it's one of these things I'm not actually sure about and it's almost like a cargo cult kind of ritual...
That doesn't make sense, props are easily to follow and they only flow in one direction from parent to children. Excessively deep component structures are a problem, but not only because of the excessive prop drilling they cause.
Assuming there's a choice, I'm not familiar with Chinese elections, then yes.

Why not vote? What is the advantage of that?
When the shared activity stops though, 99% of my friendships just die. I would like a guide on how to make those friendships more permanent.
It is VASTLY slower than 2080Ti. There is no competition at all. I don't know exact performance numbers, but I would estimate that M1 takes more than a minute to generate one image.

UPD: asked a friend to generate image on m1 with diffusion bee. It took 4 minutes 30 seconds to generate one 25 sample image. It is not even close and much worse than I thought.
It's not a joke, it's intended to convey the wisdom of not thinking "the next big thing" will solve all your problems, it is intended to focus on the importance of fundamentals, and of relying on using engineering skill to solve problems rather than fancy gadgets, it is to point out the value of developing technical acumen rather than becoming a tool bound technician.

If you define yourself by the technology you work with you aren't an engineer you're a technician.
> Are you claiming that it is somehow unsafe to use?

For your wallet, yes. Do you have any information about the environment in which a card was used? Temperature, dust, air moisture were like in a home or there operated in an industrial warehouse? Fan bearing status after all these hours? Voltage applied? Stock BIOS? were they in an enclosure or in a sort of a case?
Thermal paste has been changed? Ever been disassembled?

I would not trust a miner's card even if it was a gift.

Miners screwed the market over and now they want you to think that their used crap is such a bargain. Let them deal with their waste, don't help them.
"Any system of strong autocracy or oligarchy usually to the extent of bending and breaking the law, race-baiting, and/or violence against largely unarmed populations."

"(figuratively) Any extreme reliance or enforcement of rules and regulations, sticklerism."

"a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism."

"a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control"

The combination of the privatization of discourse spaces and autocratic suppression of opposing ideas seems to fit many definitions. What, exactly, do you object to?
Can you give me an example? I didn't have that experience. I extended classes for everything and it was super easy. But as I said, I was probably using react in a fairly basic way.
All of my pleasure reading has been ebooks for years now, but I will prefer paper books for actually learning things. I like being able to highlight, underline, etc.
The topic in this subthread is overbearing Rust evangelists and their effects.

To the degree that management pays them any attention -- and a CTO parroting their advocacy in tweets (squawks?) certainly counts -- the threat is real. Other companies' management may be equally affected, in a degree more than just posting idle-hack tweets.

Against, the subthread topic is overbearing Rust advocates and, specifically, what harm they can do. Obviously nobody will "lay off all the C++ folks" just because Rust promoters would really like that, and as much as say so. But that is very far from saying no harm is done, or that no one is harmed by their extremist rhetoric.
Hypersonic missiles are real --- tested and verified.

The answers only have unproven "potential".

The Navy chooses "potential" over "reality". Otherwise, they would be working more on producing a defense instead of more targets.

Simply put, there is no single operational missile defense system that is capable of intercepting a hypersonic missile.

the fundamental issue with hooks is that it's too hard to ensure you have access to the latest state inside the hook. why would we ever want something other than that? react has failed us.
yes, this is what I meant. A no contest type of plea. He can say he is pleading guilty because he has spent 20+ years in prison and just wants to be/stay out, not that he is guilty. State can say he is guilty but he has spent 20+ years in prison so we are agreeing to this in order save taxpayer $ and move on.

I remember listening to Serial and thinking Adnan Syed's advocate Rabia Chaudry seemed more convinced of his innocence than he was. Like he was maintaining his innocence for his family then she came along and started pushing harder to get him out and he was along for the ride.

Victims don't always act as we might expect. So that might just be the way he is. Hopefully concrete proof will come out to say exactly who it was. I hope this for the family of Hae Min Lee. But is possible it never does.
I havnt done this in many years but for a while I was making creative content that was published online. Once in a while someone would contact me saying they liked what I did. I started doing the same. If I read an article I liked a lot I would contact the person and tell them I liked it and why. About half the time they responded with Thanks.

I didnt do this with NYT writers or anything. Just people who clearly dont get paid/paid much to make this content but I found it useful/interesting/helpful. I think that stuff goes a long way and it really doesnt take that long to do.

I've got a tech podcast now and about once every month or two someone contacts me to say they liked it or something nice. It's a huge reason why I keep doing it. I know that sounds silly but the internet can be such a black hole. A little feedback goes a long way.
There's no such thing. That power should be connected to the grid instead of wasted or put to productive use, not to mention all those GPUs that are about to head for the landfill after a long life of guessing random numbers and warming up the outside. Wasting the power for money disincentivizes storage and grid connection.
