I'm surprised pjmip is missing the point here. Or maybe I am > Instead of sending streams of bytes to render text, it sends streams of encoded X Windows commands to draw the UI. (Simplified) VSCode is sending no bytes to a server wh

It's not hard to believe that we could make self replicating drones in the next 100 years that go from system to system, make a few more, and continue. We've already sent drones out of our solar system. They don't have to go

Let me also add, in many other categories, I've rarely found a correlation between price, brand, and quality. Worst luggage I ever owned was Rimowa. It was the most expensive I've bought and broke several times. They'd fix it

I'm curious. My previous soft was from Ikea. Of course Ikea makes cheap disposable furniture but this sofa, IMO, was not one of those. It was made of real wood, not particle board. It was super well designed. It assembled into 4 parts

my experience was I would not have learned anything without a manual and examples. There was no autocomplete so there was no discoverabliy and there was no internet so unless you bought a book or happened to have access to a library that ha

the smart way to do it is to name an exit like Exit B5 or A12. The signs in the station, and Google Maps, will generally tell how to get to a specific exit. Or probably better would be a famous landmarks tho there aren't many to pick f

I think you missed the point. The point isn't that these features don't have a purpose. The point is rather, at every line of code you have many choices that you arguably shouldn't need. Should I use a raw pointer or a unique

I grew up typing programs from softdisk magazine, Compute! etc... into TRS-80, Apple II, Atari 800, and C-64. I still think JavaScript in a browser is better. JavaScript is way more powerful than Basic on any of those 4 platforms. The canva

I haven't a clue how they compare but a Studio Mac with an M2 Ultra can get 192GB of unified ram for $5700 (PS: not a mac fan, a curious)

I just cleaned out my build folders and did a full build. 40M+ lines, 3 mins and 35 seconds. If you're not getting similar speed then maybe you should look into adding more machines. Last time I was on game dev the best you could do wa

That's not the point. The point is you shouldn't need that crap in the first place.

You realize you're talking about a 1bedroom apartment, not a single family home. It shouldn't require an L5 job at FAANG to just barely be able to afford 1bedroom apartment.

tagging doesn't work period because people will tag things to try to get their product in front of your eyes and add any tag they think is popular entirely unrelated to their "product".

They're not affordable for FANG employees. According to levels.fyi an L5 at Google makes $349,163, of that they'll keep 60% after taxes so 209k. It sounds like a lot (and it is in comparison to people making less) but a 1bd apartm

If you've got a 10M+ LOC project and you're not doing some kind of distributed build you're throwing money and time away.

A website works on all platforms; Mac, Linux, Windows, ChromeOS, ... maybe even Android. An app works on a single platform. To me, they could put it on github and serve it on github pages. I suspect though that there's a bunch of non-o

Agreed. It's arguably legislation that added all the traffic signs around SF and it's individuals that decide to ignore all of them. Every time I go out I see cars turning left on Mission between 14th and 28th (no lefts on Mission

I'd say Scratch is the #1 way kids to day are introduced to programming in 2023 For parents that have some 8bit experience, Pico-8 (LUA) is also relatively popular. It's basically like running an Apple 2, Atari 800, Commodore 64 a
