I feel for the guys at Humane, it was my first thought after seeing mrwhosetheboss and MKBHD.

It's probably terrible, but oh so hypocritical. I can think of many occasions in the last 15 years these reviewers have cited the potential of gimmicks and latched on to the manufacturers promise to improve.

The problem I see with using tables for layout is that it fucks up the semantic meaning of the html file.

But that was an issue of philosophy that got trumped by practical needs.

However, nowadays we have css grids with template areas. So we can just write our HTML semantically correct as if it was more or less just about the content (as it should be IMHO) and still move things around using CSS depending on the type of device, size of screen, media used.

So the holy grail in my opinion is to write HTML that contains only content and metadata and next to no elements or attributes that are needed purely for semantically irrelevant layout and styling purposes — and then do all the layout and styling in CSS. Styling tags like <em> or the occasional <section class="notice"> are okay, one should never be too strict with such ideals.

The advantage here is that this provides the maximum decoupling between the content and the layout/styling which not only helps with future layout updates, but improves the accessability of the page.
That is an incredibly succinct way of summarising the way I started to see the world about a decade ago (and more than a decade into my career as a developer).
Seems fine to me. I don't exactly like how heavily it's based on extensions and optional features (They say X was too, but X was a single implementation), but the core everyday desktop stuff is fine.

I quite like the yellow. You should try and use your brightness slider, because it is not brighter than most real world yellow (i.e. illuminated by the sun which is orders of magnitude brighter than your screen)

It's fun to hack something up (quite literally in this case).
The idea was to explain that one can find traces in stone in the form of imprints. Typically these would be trilobites or shells, but also leaves and actual animal steps.

It was more an introduction to the idea of fossilization, layers of sediments etc. than a university course :) with the general message of "you can find traces of stuff in stones, and next we will crack open a stone to show you that".

Not far away from that place there is a church with steps built from sedimentary stone where there are plenty of fossiles so it was a nice introduction.
With desktop GPUs I certainly thing there's room to improve framerate and image clarity before considering ray tracing. Maybe if you have a high end GPU and an an otherwise lightweight game it's worth it.

For a mobile GPU, like Meteor Lake? I wouldn't even bother.

Small farms are dying by design. The amount of regulations required to operate a farm and sell to the public are positively unbearable, unless you can operate at a scale that can no longer be called “small”.

I have been farming for a little over 10 years. I have pivoted many times, and I have yet to make anything approaching a living from my efforts. If not for my day job writing software, I would have lost the farm.

I currently am suffering serious farm-related burnout. I know the symptoms intimately, as I have burned out several times in the decades of my software career. I can’t just take a break, as I have herds that represent years of investment. My wife is not in the same headspace and doesn’t really understand burnout.

I have grown to hate the USDA, the state Ag department, the state water rights division, the local zoning department, and other departments too numerous to count. I hate the government (and the people that support it) for allowing big business to write the regulations that ruin everything for the little guy.

The food you buy in the grocery store is utter garbage. It’s only going to get worse and more expensive, and those profits are not going to end up at small farms. You reap what you sow, ‘murica….
You could 100% make a smaller fake "wii" by emulating it with a smartphone SoC. Mid-range phones can emulate Wii and Gamecube at 2x resolution.

However, the intention of these miniature builds is to preserve the original device, just in tiny form. No emulation involved. As if it was an official product.
Aha, thanks, that’s interesting! I knew some of that but wasn’t aware it had influenced Star Wars. That does make some sense.

Edit to add: I’d still unquestionably put Star Wars as the one that “set up an entire field for success”. Not just because it was the one that shipped and was a massive hit, but because it synthesised many elements besides Dune. I’ll watch that documentary with an open mind though.

>>Plea deals don't change anything, the vast majority of takers are guilty.

So all these stories where someone is put in jail, spends months waiting for trial, then the DA comes around and says "look you can go to trial and maybe get few years in prison, or you can plead guilty and we'll count your time in jail as time served so you can go home tomorrow"

1) Do you think these stories are wrong? Or rare?

2) If you were in that situation as an innocent person, can you not imagine yourself being tempted to accept just to go home to your family?

Edit: just to be clear - I don't think anyone is disputing the "majority" part. But I definitely don't think it's so insignificant to be completely ignored either.
if you look at german demographics you might find that a lot of those kids just aren't ethnic germans, their parents don't speak good german very often, much less can they really help with math, and if they're on social money they can't pay for training outside of school...
And if the teacher has a few low performers everyone else learns slower, since the school system isn't made to push high performers, it's to average everyone - at least in my experience.

To simplify equations that create ratios between distance, time and energy. That's literally it. Using Planck units is a math trick to remove a bunch of constants from a bunch of equations.

The Planck length doesn't really have any known physical importance, at least no more than a meter does. There's some things that happens around a planck length (for example, the current theories predict that black holes need to be at least bigger than a planck length to exist, or alternatively the Planck length is the point where the quantum uncertainty completely overtakes any other classical theory) but particles can "move" distances less than a planck length (with lots of caveats, mainly because quantum uncertainty makes the notion of "moving" in the classical sense kinda weird and barely applicable, but still, they _can_).

A common belief is that the Planck length is kind of the "minimal distance" and start thinking that it's the "pixel of the universe" but there's no actual theoretical framework saying that. It's just a common misconception.
You can hotplug them, but when plugging them, there's no short risk, as all pins have their individual connectors. A barrel TRRS headphone connector can short, because the first "pin", the tip, goes through every single connector. Imagine this was power, and one of the connectors it went through was ground.

My biggest problem is that the dark mode flashlight looks bad, I can see the difference in color between the flashlight image darkness and the darkness created by the shadow, he should change the color of the box shadow from #000 to #010101 so it matches better the black of the flashlight image.

In my organization all people have work phones, but they are rarely used to call people. When I get a call from coworkers it is usually emergency stuff where it makes sense for them to call me — rarely outside of my work hours. All the rest are emails or chat messages, which I can read when I decide to do so.

I am okay with that.

Although a smartphone related work horror story I heard once, was somebodies boss who communicated the plans for the week for 12 employees in one 40 minute rambling speech message, which may or may not involve crucial need-to-know information at minute 35 and 30 seconds of information that affected you.
That makes sense. Though at that stage - needing throw always to participate - I do wonder whether it’s worth interacting at all.

You can 100% do this, invent your own tags, no need for React to have custom component names. And it works for styling with CSS, just use your custom tag as selector instead of css class. And then the classes can be used for shared styles.
It is not. Chemistry is just a special sub-field of manufacturing. Nearly all manufacturing uses chemistry in some way. But in general manufacturing has nowhere near margins of "tech".

> but I still have a much smaller click target when selecting the beginning of code

I would be shocked if your editor didn't have a much easier option for you. For example, in Jetbrains tools I can just:

1. Double click on the first word to select it.
2. Shift click anywhere to the right of the final newline.

Or also:

1. Click anywhere at all on the line.
2. [Home] button to go to start of content
3. [Shift]+[End] to select to end of content.

That second one in particular resists any problems with shaky hands and squinty eyes.

Is that autism thing? My therapist suspect I'm autistic, and I have always noticed things like this - or trying to align everything in my mind when I look at things, or trying to split the into two halves of equal volume.
But that is the fundamental problem behind all of web nowadays: It was initially designed for documents; there are precursors for this entire HTML stuff (hypercards and similar things). Funnily enough, there existed tech even back then that was much much better at dealing with actual applications and their requirements. Unfortunately, many stupid idiots decided to use the "web" for that instead and mangle something aimed at documents to hell and back to actually do apps with it. The amount of time (of humans) and resources (not humans, but computing power, energy, ...) wasted on creating and running kludge after kludge to coerce the "web" into "something for apps" is absolute insanity.

- hard to click small buttons as icons, I have to click everything 2-3 times until I get it right

- no button to ignore incoming calls...

Empirical Evidence show climate damages of 19% of GDP for the next 26 years
We now have decades of data of a world that is 1-1.5 degrees warmer. A precise analysis of how the world has reacted to this warming shows empirical evidence that climate change has a dramatic effect on economic productivity already.

Analyzing what this type of damages imply until 2050, under the optimistic assumption that we will limit climate d/change to 2° leads to the headline figure.

I mean, semantics are also good! Yes, CSS grids are a lot like tables in some ways, but not having to add 25% more DOM elements to fake a table layout (display: table/table-row/table-cell; that's 3 divs for one row!) is also a thing to be celebrated. Plus, in practice, grid is a lot more powerful than doing a few common layouts. Grid took so long precisely because they were trying to think a little further ahead rather than just pushing something out into the world and hoping it works out. Thankfully web standards have matured and are more careful not to repeat mistakes like the debacle that was CSS property prefixes.
I dunno. I found out that people who do care about how things look like, tend not to care about how they work and whether they are practical. And the other way round too. The slightly misaligned button is not "basic shit". It is useless shit.

And this works on company level too. The groups that spend a lot of time caring about visuals tend not to give a damm about much else.

on the other hand, if you have postgres already, it may be easier to add pgvector than to add another dependency to your stack (especially if you are using something like supabase)

it's a good place to start in those cases and if it is successful and you need extreme performance you can always move to other specialized tools like qdrant, pinecone or weaviate which were purpose-built for vectors
