For some reason the article doesn't tell you the benchmark results, it just shows a screenshot. It's 86 avg fps at 1920x800 (on medium?) but with upscaling on auto and frame generation. So who knows what the actual performance is

It kinda sucks though if you end up being a bad culture fit a couple times in a row. You end up being rejected on that basis alone. Forever. And there is nothing you can do about it, even of you are qualified for the jobs you apply for.

What an absolutely unnecessary analogy. The question is obviously more asking what is preferable about putting data centres in places where there is high competition with the population for power.

> every frame of an animation should look good if captured and analyzed statically, in isolation This is just true though. It isn't the only thing that matters but if you are creating a game or a video sometimes you do capture thing

What do you think the premise of the article is? The article is pretty narrowly speaking of "app" UI and your comment is a "well actually" that some videos intentionally introduce noise or temporary discomfort for an emo

This isn't true generally. I am personally far more comfortable with disabling smooth scroll. It has more to do with your mind's expectations. Which can vary between people. Some people expect smooth and others don't. Motion

No they are not used everywhere. Some games with good UI use animations everywhere that an animation is appropriate. But plenty of good UI exist without animations. The point above is that no animation is better than an inappropriate animat

No. Pollution is a byproduct. Spam and slop is quite literally the product in many cases. GenAI generated blogs or websites or youtube videos are the point for those creating them, they are not incidental outputs along the way. And GenAI to

The search results aren't hyperlinks? So middle clicking to open in a new tab does nothing. Odd choice.

True! I love it when I buy a computer pre-installed with windows and it has a bunch of extra software bundled in like norton antivirus, dropbox, and opera. Plus the OEM makes money and I get a bunch of free apps. It's a win win. I hope

Using Go means you are forgoing Docker...? Ok. Also if you don't need certbot anymore is your service managing its own ssl certs with letsencrypt? Isn't it generally easier to configure with a reverse proxy like nginx or caddy and

A lot of features that git had by default had to be enabled as plugins in mercurial. The plugins were usually shipped with mercurial so you didn't have to install them separately, but you needed to know that you had to enable them in a

Your examples of engines are less about "it works" as more that it does a thing we couldn't do before and it works better than the previous thing . But neither of those are especially true of react. React was an instant hi

The worst part about smart phones is their browser/social media. Technically, even dumb phones like the nokia 3310 had contact lists so you didn't have to memorize phone numbers. And land lines had speed dial. And my family used a

I've heard the term used for servers before but not version control repositories. I just don't understand what it would mean for a git repo to be a cattle vs a pet. Like what is an example of a cattle repo vs a pet repo. The metap

At some point you must be open to being compelled to read code you run or ship. Otherwise, if that's to hard, then I don't know what to tell you. We'll just never agree. If you find a better solution than being responsible fo

It isn't victim blaming. People like you make it impossible to avoid attacks like these because you have no appetite for a better security model. I run npm under bubblewrap because npm has a culture of high risk; of using too many depe
