Why is the article so pointlessly wordy? Is it AI or bad translation?

The cartoon-like game, or gamified experience, is called Sarah Andersen Comics “After Owning a Cat,” in partnership with An Infinite Story. It’s based on the art of Sarah Andersen, whose work is called Sarah’s Scribbles.

The Sarah Andersen Comics “After Owning a Cat,” in partnership with An Infinite Story hidden art game launches on web platforms everywhere for free today.

In the After Owning a Cat game, you can pinch the screen to zoom in on any given part of a comic image of the Sarah’s Scribbles web app. When I saw the zooming happen in a demo, I chuckled. The game may ask you to find six cats in a black-and-white picture.
Why are the maintainers working for free in the first place if they don't like it? If they're struggling financially, spending a lot of time on charity is not likely to improve the situation.
No. You can measure it through various lenses. This being one. Ideally you want to maximize the measurement across various lenses.

The only reason people find it funny is because most people can't afford to have kids with multiple women. Financially and time management wise. And probably the bar for women to have kids with someone who already have kids with many other women is also high. So by default 99.999 % of the men can't do this not because they choose not to. But they can't even if they want to.

So to protect you from this obvious failure psychologically, the body triggers a funny, absurd reaction when someone points it as a win musk has children with multiple women. It's okay.

This only serves to double down on an extremely bad idea. CAs are a form of wealth concentration that is both technically and practically problematic. Finding an alternative to that system is far more ideal than denying public access to DNS registration data, which also only serves as a form of wealth consolidation.

>Tiny Bacteria, Not Huge Dinosaurs, Formed Oil

>try to grasp the concept of deep geologic time, a talent possessed by very few people. Try to wrap your mind around the enormity of the figures: bacteria and single-celled organisms were the dominant forms of life on earth for a whopping two and a half to three billion years, a virtually incomprehensible stretch of time when measured against human civilization, which is only about 10,000 years old, and even against the reign of the dinosaurs, which lasted "only" about 165 million years. That's a lot of bacteria, a lot of time, and a lot of oil.

The last thing I saw on it was a video saying that calling Devin an AI software engineer that does Upwork tasks is a lie based in what was shared in an earlier video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNmgmwEtoWE

"I broke down the Devin Upwork video frame by frame, and here I show what Devin was supposed to do, what it actually managed to do instead, and how bad a job of that it did.

On the whole that's not surprising given the current state of Generative AI, and I wouldn't be bothering to debunk it, except:
1) The company lied about what Devin could do in the video description, and
2) a lot of people uncritically parroted the lie all over the Internet, and
3) That caused a lot of non-technical people to believe that AI might replace programmers soon.

Is your country 100% EV now?
Oh no, and it was way worse than that: No-one was allowed to leave until they had bought the inventory AND the next host was designated. Under penalty of social ostracism.

The host was trained for that before hosting. It was basically a pyramid scheme.

Being presented with an invitation was very rude. And you didn’t know what to do with it.

Tupperware parties were predatory behavior, and you’d host them and pretend everything is alright because you wanted to give the hot potato to someone else.
How is this done? And how is it not done?
People are also more aware of plastics in their food and using plastic tupperware in the microwave might add a large amount of plastic to the food [1]. Due to this I also switched to glass containers, which are also easier to clean.

Terrible writing and title gore, too. I actually liked Sarah's Scribbles before, this is just sad.
What employers haven't considered is that when employees come in they spend the majority of time with each other. That means that the culture they are building is one of us against them, where them is management and the upper echelons of the company (or any other group that doesn't seem to have their best interest at heart).

Once they start working from home they are effectively isolated and not spending that time with each other. So I think we could argue that working from home is working in favour of the employer.

WebGL2 is fully supported in Safari since quite a while now. In fact it's using the same rendering backend as Chrome and Firefox (ANGLE), and AFAIK Google and Apple engineers worked together to create (or at least improve?) the ANGLE Metal backend and integrate ANGLE into Safari.
Did you actually read my comment and the replies? Because most of the replies didn’t even address the points I was making, let alone debunk it.

Just like with your post. I never actually made any claims about mileages. However as it happens, I do specifically fall into that uneconomical bracket. That’s why I ended up buying petrol despite wanting an EV. I work from home and thus rarely drive. EV isn’t yet ready for my specific use case. It will get there, but it’s not there today.

And thus we are back to the crux of point is was making: that this topic is far more complicated than the OP suggested.

No, but even if it was demand would still be lower than 2002:

> The highest peak electricity demand in the UK in recent years was 62GW in 2002. Since then, the nation’s peak demand has fallen by roughly 16% due to improvements in energy efficiency.

> Even if we all switched to EVs overnight, we estimate demand would only increase by around 10%. So we’d still be using less power as a nation than we did in 2002, and this is well within the range the grid can capably handle.

From my experience following Forbes Advisor (being a close competitor), the content actually seems to be of good quality, with experts contributing to different sections. They seem to really invest time and money into making it work, which stands out compared to other affiliate-driven sites. The editorial expertise in areas like insurance and finance is pretty evident, with professionals leading the charge.

Despite some of the concerns raised about leadership decisions and outsourcing, the quality of the content hasn’t taken a hit from what I can see.

Are they truly outsourcing everything as cheaply as possible? Or is it more nuanced, with key areas of expertise retained in-house.

It’s interesting that there’s a lot of frustration about revenue numbers being hidden. But let’s be honest, if they did expose the revenue, wouldn’t the first move be to shout it from the rooftops? People love to complain about a lack of transparency, but sometimes those same people are the first to use that info to stir things up even more.

Nah, Native Client had a lot of its own problems. Except for pthreads-style multithreading, PNaCl couldn't even compete with asm.js, and Spectre/Meltdown would be just as catastrophic for PNaCl as it was for SharedArrayBuffer.
> To create this huge image, the painting was photographed in a grid with 97 rows and 87 columns with our 100-megapixel Hasselblad H6D 400 MS camera.

Looks like they had the ability to move the camera precisely to one of 97x87 grid positions. I wonder if they had any headroom in the precision of that movement. Could they have used a lower resolution but much cheaper camera and compensated by taking, say, a 200x200 grid of images instead?
With SQL you really should support 10x your current user count, rounded up to the nearest power of 10. If you have 25 devices, this means you should support 250 rounded up to 1000. If you don't, it will come back to bite you really hard and really quickly. This is just something that you learn from experience.

Obviously I am not talking about an emergency situation, but about planned design.
And ... there is no make test
Or macos
Hmm, same here. Make is my go-to toll for writing top-level instructions on how to deal with a collection of files. (re)constructing data files (including dependency tracking of course), compiling files (implicit rules are great!) and all sort of things needing to go into the toplevel directory of a project. Its easy to write, almost no syntax overhead. Compare that to ant :-) And it can get arbitrarily complex if you need it to be. Projects like buildroot are a wonderful example of how much you can actually do with Makefiles, while staying relatively readable... Sure, if you are working in big tech, your code base is likely so large now that you want ninja or some other modern build system. But for the rest of us, Make is really sufficient and actually great value for the money...
Charge based on the value given to your customer. If your small set of features offers value, talk to them about what that value is. Don't guess - actually ask your early adopters what they feel is fair. After all, you'll need to be in close communication with them anyway to be sure the product matches their needs, which means you'll need an open and trusting relationship, so include price in those discussions.

Hi, it often happens to me, that I write a comment, mark issue as "done" on the notification page, but then I can't find it again.

I rediscovered a tool I created for this 8 years ago and after a little tweak it works perfectly. Enjoy :-)

I would say the opposite happened but maybe it depends on how long you've been using Linux or been in those types of circles. Throughout the 90s and maybe until the late 2000s seemingly all free Windows software was released as shareware or otherwise closed source. Now open source utilities are a lot more common as people became more aware of open source, although there still remains some freeware that only makes money from donations where the authors still refuse to release the source for some reason (e.g. Nirsoft tools)
I just remember how ubiquitous Tupperware was growing up in the 1980s.

Every family I knew had the exact same Tupperware pitcher in the fridge, and it was always full of Kool-Aid or Sweet Tea. (Looking on Amazonm this single pitcher is now $38?)

It's gotta be about $0.25 in materials to make. Spending too much money on ads? And not sure where they are spending money -- most of the designs on the Tupperware site seem dated, even "heritage" themed. Ha, so it's not going into R&D!

Anyway I tossed the last of my plastic containers over a decade ago and replaced them with Pyrex Snapware.

It doesn't help that it's easy to trip over something where the right answer is "use the more recent version with the feature which fixes that" but because everyone's so used to make being ancient tech, they don't think it would be worth upgrading.
I’ve always wondered, seeing the changelogs of which games have gained support, what exactly is happening.

Is it actually coded support for specific games? Is it continuing on with generic DirectX/WinAPI support that is used across all games, but unblocks those ones mentioned? Is it just that those games have now been tested where they hadn’t had sufficient testing before?

> Seems pretty dumb considering it still consumes fossil fuels.

Internal combustion engines are not limited to fossil fuels. For instance, here in Brazil it's common to use sugarcane ethanol as an alternative fuel, and many cars come from factory ready to use either gasoline or ethanol (the keyword to look for is "flex fuel").
I guess the main reason is that entirely different people work on using GPUs for compute tasks versus using GPUs for rendering tasks (unless you're using the 3D API's compute features). E.g. not a technical problem, but organizational.
I guess the "explosives" in this analogue could be deleting files with "unlink", "rm", "find -delete" or "shred", neither of which require a flag to actually perform the job they're meant to perform.

> An alternative is to have a check “Are you sure?” Just before delete, with a -fuckit_yolo flag to override the check.

Alternatively, is there any point you'd run this "ts-remove-unused" tool and you don't want it to delete anything? The main point of the tool is to delete things, so not sure what other use cases you have if you don't want it to delete something.
Why R8 (Android Compiler) Preferred BMW over Audi?
In the abstract, it's impossible to judge decisions. What's worse than a company that spending millions on refactoring? Not being able to spend money on that because the company went out of business before launch because the devs were too busy engineering the most perfect, webscale architecture for the system that they weren't able to launch a product before running out of runway.
> ways that software vendors will be held liable for bugs in their products.

And if we do that then the state of software would grind to a halt, because there is no software that is completely bug-free.[1]

Like it or not, the market has spoken on what it considers acceptable risk for general software. Software where human lives are at risk is already highly regulated, which is why so few human lives are lost to bugs, compared to lives lost to other engineering defects.

[1] I feel we are already at a point where the market has, economically anyway, hit the point of diminishing returns for investment into reliability in software.
I’m getting a lot of hate for my comment but actually you’re all missing the point.

I’m not suggesting people shouldn’t buy EV nor that EV isn’t greener than ICE.

What I actually said is that EV still does a lot of harm to the environment and it’s a long way from being the saviour to our private transportation woes that a lot of people like to greenwash it as.

Does this mean that we shouldn’t buy EVs? Of course not. But it also means:

- we shouldn’t put all of our eggs into one basket. Research into other engines still brings us gains

- for some specific individuals, EVs are yet the best choice for their needs

The problem we have in this thread is everybody is jumping to one extreme or the other rather than acknowledging that this is actually a massively complex topic and thus theres going to be a lot of contextual factors and shades of grey.

So please don’t assume I’m trying to spread FUD about EVs just because I’m promoting awareness that we still have a lot more work to do before mass produced cars of any design becomes green.
Do they actually? I haven't had to have Apple products repaired, but whenever I hear someone giving something in, they get a new or refurbished device instead of their own.

I think Apple is incentivized to trash broken devices, rather than attempt to repair them even themselves, because of the massive margin, and thus low marginal cost. It's more lucrative for them to make the devices unrepairable and have you buy a new one (or give you a new one, if it's under warranty), than make them repairable for everyone.

The warranty period just incentivizes them to make the device better quality so they don't break due to manufacturing defects.
The idea behind Devin is an agent, folks can build better/smarter AI on top of OpenAI's models.
WSL basically runs GNU/Linux distributions so I fail to see the significance of that point.

And for MacOS you do the same thing, you get them to use their beloved homebrew to install GNU Make.
The engineers are still there (where else would they go!) and with ICE development moving far out of strategic focus, there might actually be more room now for trying odd curveball approaches than back when ICE refinement was still a cornerstone of success.

But it's possible plain silicon is outdated and Intel stuff was splitted for a reason, eg. "photonics" part goes to "datacenter" division, fabs can be spun off and re-named any second.

But it's USoA ! - if you win military contract you live OK for few years and do not sell out suddenly like Sun - they did it just instantly after loosing military contract. Or maybe they (Sun managers) was preparing it 2 years ahead when dey bought Mysql :) Just theoretising :)
Who says so? Batteries been available for hundred years yet we keep talking about fusion being the future, and we have fission. Which both drive turbines, which are a thing from the past? No? What is joke and when?

To me is a joke that we keep heating water to move magnets to get energy in 2024 with all the quantum entanglement, Johnson teleportation, lasers, etc. engineering magic happening around. And we do what? heat water to move magnets to squeez energy? So why is then hydrogen bad, just because it goes boom? Plenty of things we use daily go boom now and then, not meaning recent news, but in general.

I also invite you to take a look at the Tokamak and then try to argue again that metal tubes wired around to pump liquids and do some combustion is not the future.
Well it was solved decades ago in Java yet Java apps have proven no more secure in general.

It is a broader ecosystem problem that there almost no incentive to write secure code. Security is an afterthought like documentation.

> As said elsewhere, the use-case in the article is too simple to warrant a Makefile. So: if you aren't compiling some static language, you do not need - and certainly don't want to use - Make.

I've found that I prefer make as a command runner and most of the time I'm just running Python poetry commands or building Docker containers or running AWS infra commands. It's very useful to have a simple tool to run commands and have them depend on each other.

And regarding many of the alternatives to Make, they're either more complex or have other issues:

You define your scene in terms of nested frames. Each frame is defined with normalized coordinates inside its parent. Initially you render from the top-level frame, but as you zoom into some other frame, you switch to rendering from that frame. This avoids numerical issues, no matter how far you zoom, because the view coordinates are reset each time you switch to a new render root.

When rendering descendant frames, you should stop when something becomes smaller than a pixel.

Normally your frame graph would be a tree. But you can add cycles to your frame graph, to achieve weird effects, like getting back to the macro scale after zooming in to nano scale, etc.
