I was called a "pro Chinese crowd" for urging people to check this account's history, and you are threatening me with ban for personal attacks.

Do what you have to do.

Is it a good time to buy Intel stock? I think they have a good chance of scooping a fair bit of AI chip revenue in 5 years or so.

Totally invalidates what I said somehow.

This guy has quite an obsession, don't you think? Oh, right We shouldn't think. Let's just blindly eat the narrative.

Just just look at seanmcdirmid's submission and post history. Shitting on China is what this account all about.

It's a total coincidence it has a ton of karma, too. Yup

It's been what, 30 years, but even the ending has way more cgi/vr than 3 seconds. The movie may not have been made had they not used the name of King's short story, which isn't all that good to begin with.

That said, I think the Johnny Quest remake had plenty of vr. It was pretty cool for its time.

> If I'm reading this correctly, you think juniors should live without formatters because they need to learn to format manually?

You did not interpret what I said correctly. Not that you had much to work with, but that small wall of text is based on a major extrapolation.

I said completely relying on these tools is doing them disservice. How do you train your muscle memory when the tools are doing everything for you. I, for one, believe proper formatting is a sign of care and it's really easy to spot when someone is not paying attention.

Go on, mod me down harder.

I've worked with a number of developers whose output without these tools is a giant, unreadable mess. Training juniors to be reliant on this stuff does more harm (to them) than good.

Great post, though I am somewhat puzzled by the omission of self proclaimed "liberals" that somehow managed to infest much of the web. They are pretty much an exact replica of what we usually call fascists. It's likely that both groups are operated by the same forces.

While I can see your frustration, what if the government suddenly made something you do illegal. Ever considered that one?

Maybe legalization would be better for society, though who's going to reap the profits appears to be the main driving factor.

I have plenty other computers that are better suited for the type of gaming I do.

I imagined using the device, with its stand, on my tummy. Mostly reading but also hosting stuff. It's about 650 grams without the controllers, so not ideal, but better than my 1.4 kg laptop. Better than a phone.

Minisforum is about to release a high end Ryzen 8000 14 inch tablet real soon. Still a kilo, though.

Simulating CRT on a smeary 120 Hz LCD doesn't sound good to me.

Only the latest super high refresh OLEDs are approaching that capability and the software is not done. Nobody is simulating the rays right now. Pretty niche, so progress is slow.

It will be exciting to see two CCDs with big and c cores. However, Problem is, this many cores need bandwidth and two channel is hardly ideal.

I hope AMD would at least double the channels on desktop and laptop. How else are they going to feed the future beefy APUs?

I almost bought Lenovo Legion Go but decided against the first iteration. I think they should not have marketed the device for gaming.

On the bright side, phoronix said the detachable controller drivers are (about to be?) merged into one of the latest kernels. That's pretty remarkable.

I am aware it's possible to use jsx with vue. It's trivial and can come in handy. It's just js until templating. To me, these differences barely matter because I can do all that stuff on my own without any frameworks in the first place.

Both are fine. It doesn't have to be a war.

Both template engines have to provide roughly the same be because the output is simple render functions that emit html. Sure, they are different but map to the same browser apis, so not that different.

I don't see how jsx is more trivial than html which is what cue templates are.

beebeepka — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 07:04:47 +0000

but what about those if us who prefer other template engines?

vue/angular are better than jsx. Differences are minor, of course. But why should it be jsx?

Some kiosks in Hard Reset would say "special discount for smart people" when you approach them. Always made me smile. The high tech equivalent of an old gipsy woman.

Pretty sweet. I do envy you. For what it's worth, I would prefer AMD to charge as much as possible for these little beasts.
