That said I do hate sites like this and yeah, I can use ad blockers but it’s easier just to avoid the website

Time taken for me to eat that mass of hotdogs

TL:DR The stuff the dedicated module is doing will go inside specific Mediatek chips on specific premium monitors

Really weird it’s taken this long - I remember reading that the modules were expensive and assumed it was just because they were early generations and Nvidia was still working things out

I get to work from home every day, and so does my wife.
We each have our office space so we can work in peace but at any point in the day we can just have a chat, we can have lunch together, we can have our evening planned and be out of the door at 5pm

It’s just all so much better than the old office-based life

It was actually pretty great when I worked for a company making things here in england:
“That needs to move 50cm” meant it had to move exactly 500mm
“That needs to move a foot” meant just kick it over about a foot

It was just an unspoken thing that metric meant precise and imperial was just caveman measuring

Negative votes for essentially just saying people should drive safely and have that be enforced with technology. Gotta love it

Was about to post this: the unedited version at the end being included makes me think this came out of a David Mitchell rant

Yup, pull it out and they turn to bones

Got into making redstone logic in Minecraft, including joining a community of people building all kinds of crazy things like CPUs. This was early days too - I think the repeater was brand new

Eventually wanted to make mods so started learning Java. Was bad at it. Then wanted to make games in unity. Was bad at it. Learned C++ at Uni. Dropped out and was bad at it.

Kind of repeated this cycle for various languages and tools for years, never with enough motivation to learn properly. Eventually I hit a critical mass of skill and was able to actually make things in HTML/JS and over a couple years this snowballs until surprisingly quickly I find myself a senior developer teaching others!

I like to shoot for the middle ground: skim for key functions and check those, run code locally to see if it does roughly what I think it should do and if it does merge it into dev and see what breaks.

Small PRs get nitpicked to death since they’re almost certainly around more important code

We had a zoom call with a very well reviewed, recommended broker local to us. Next day I get a spam call pretending to be the bank we talked about the most as a lender, but that we currently have no business with. My paranoia has been at 100% ever since

Assuming a ground clearance of 10cm, and a wheelbase of 2.4m (source: my ass) then you can construct an arc under the wheels

This arc says you could drive such a car on an earth with radius as small as 7.25m. Actually, it could be slightly smaller because of where the wheels would contact, but I’ve lost interest

People look down on Javascript (and therefore Typescript) but as someone who learned by doing I think its a really good option

Once you get past the hello world phase you can take it any direction you want: websites/apps, command-line stuff, desktop apps you name it. Just avoid the trap of getting sucked into specific frameworks or loads of tooling early on and learn the language

W3schools is a great resource and you can do the examples and exercises right there in your browser

I may be dumb about this stuff but what is an SPF? How does vit c boost it?

Outlasted 4 and 1 - charles hasn’t died yet

I’ve been trying to get my local council to enforce the law on the road near me and have just been fobbed off repeatedly.

It’s a 30 road, with a school and loads of pedestrians and cyclists using it yet we see people running the red lights, speeding well over 50 and doing crazy overtakes DAILY

I’ve driven and cycled in 3 other countries and England is by far the scariest, feels like every other driver is trying to kill you

I think most of the horror stories are from people printing way too fast and too low
Many people print with too small z-offset because “that’s when it sticks”. you can get away with it in pla but petg will just become a mess

To make you less anxious:

A friend of mine had issues with his (much older) PC, stuttering in games and similar but it still worked

When I took a look I found it was pegged throttling at 100deg after running for a while. This had been going on for months

Eventually found the AIO pump had completely died, any cooling was due to passive conduction through the materials and water

We replaced the cooler and now it’s been running fine for another 3 years and going

TL:DR: modern CPUs can run hot, and safely boost. As it gets too hot it will start reducing clocks but it’s highly unlikely you damage anything unless you go out of your way to overclock, overvolt or ditch the cooler entirely
