Clients don’t care much about the dependency graph. They do care about delivering on time and sometimes not reinventing a bunch of wheels is crucial for that.

Probably never? I don’t think we even have real Chrome yet and that’s a trillion dollar company.

Well still 255 for maximum count if you’re using an 8-bit number to COUNT billionaires like your initial comment said - but if you’re using an 8-bit number to index your collection of billionaires, then yes, you could get up to 256.

For counting we should always at least have the possibility of a 0 value, hence we count actual billionaires from 1-255. With indexing, 0 is already the first billionaire, so we get billionaires from 0-255, or a total of 256

politicians in the US derive their power from their ability to raise money from rich donors, while rich donors derive their power directly from their money

Technically they derive their power from the electoral mandate, but to achieve it requires a lot of money from said rich donors - so they don’t derive their power from it, it’s more a prerequisite to play at all. The second half is true. The rich are just rich, nobody voted them into wealth, that’s why they’re more powerful than the politicians.

Interestingly, in my high school course about legal systems, “tradition” was considered like a very low level law. Basically if “this is how we’ve always done things” and there’s no explicit law, executive order or anything… it’s legal

Anyone else find it moderately funny and also sad how Michael Larabel didn’t update his profile photo for a loooong time so now it looks like he aged two decades at once?

Hope he’s not as depressed as he looks, Phoronix is a quality resource.

Interestingly enough, not really happening in my country. You’re sorta expected to get the mandatory reading books from a library in school… And later on in university, it’s a place to hang out and study together.

Maybe adults outside of academia don’t use them much (I don’t), but I think people generally see the value in them.

Dude if they do that, conservatives will start bullying people for NOT being pedophiles.

By which I mean

Trump is god almighty -> What Trump does is holy -> Trump is a pedophile -> Everyone must fuck kids or otherwise they’re the Antichrist and hate children.

The company doing the payroll software isn’t the company paying you though

He’s explicitly selling AI based solutions, so luckily everyone sensible skips over that right away.

I can’t imagine integrating AI to my codebases to a meaningful degree. I’ve worked mostly with health or financial syatems. Accuracy is of utmost importance. Imagine your paycheck is half what it should be because of AI.

Technically nothing illegal happening here. I mean he’s a shithead by the sound of it, but year of highschool left = 17 or 18, quite likely 18 since it’s summer right now. 18 year olds you can hire for 40 hour weeks even. Younger teenagers, fewer hours, but legal.

How do I know this? This shithead is from my country, at least according to his name. You don’t see the letter ‘ü’ in a lot of American names, do ya

Quick google says that 2 years ago he was still an intern. He’s probably something like 22, 23 himself. Working for multiple startups, at one of which he’s the CEO. He’s either hustling big time and will burn out soon, or he’s only pretending to do anything, and will fizzle out anyway.

Edit: Never mind, he’s 24. Q2, the company he runs with his friends paid 2k EUR in labor taxes, average monthly turnover is 3k. Sounds like they’re selling ChatGPT consulting services to someone, but just one client lol

Increments of 80 GB were fairly common. My desktop had an 80 GB Maxtor and my laptop later had 320 GB.

In hindsight, I do not remember if the Maxtor was definitely 80 GB, or if Windows was showing it as 80-something GB. But the laptop was definitely 320. I googled it. Google AI of course said “Based on Ebay listings it seems to be 1 TB”, very useful. Spec sheet says 320 GB.

Rust’s compiler is pretty much the reason the language gets so much praise. The borrow checking of course is the major reason, but it’s great at hints too.

Is that a number you can actually charge? Because if so, there’s some prices I’m gonna have to raise.

I once returned it in a home assignment in case true == false and added a comment that it’s cosmic radiation induced bit flip detection.

I got the job.

Don’t forget http.dog

Ah yes, DLSS, the option to make your game look worse for better performance.

It’s not a necessity for a good looking game.

My favourite is this one, it makes things go brrrrrr.

Couldn’t find a good photo of the socket online, only the plug. Cba to go take a photo of the socket right now, but I do have it at home and it’s fully functional.

Edit: Searching in Estonian yielded results for the socket too. Someone was auctioning a set 7 years ago.

Because that would be discrimination. Otherwise they absolutely would do it lol

Then you can pay more for your ticket. Simple fact is, to save money on fuel, the airline has to use the smallest possible airplane and have high seat density. Luxury airlines like Emirates or Etihad might have lower seating density but you’ll pay extra for the tickets.

Emirates CEO is asking Airbus to start building the A380 again, but in a new more fuel efficient version. Even gave them some design ideas. Reason being, that huge-ass plane can be better optimized for comfort due to economies of scale. Unfortunately I think they’re using a lot of that space for first class, which gets showers and shit.

In the US, supposedly JetBlue has more space in economy than the big 3 tend to. Willing to bet it’s more expensive too, but I wouldn’t know, I’ve only flown European airlines and cheap to midrange ones at that.
