But I already posted it so how could I not post it at all? Do any of us even have a reason to exist? Maybe Sam Altman was right all along

It's not universally safe to use CSS nesting yet. Without nesting support, writing raw CSS is like raw-dogging a sex-trafficked Vietnamese prostitute from Malaysia. Sure, it will probably work, but if your goal is zero maintenance then you're ignoring the post-exposure prophylaxsis and antibiotic regimens necessary for typical usage patterns.

If you're using a CSS preprocessor like SCSS or LESS you can just define the height for the toolbar as a variable and then use the mask area for the blur as a multiplier (eg. 1.88) of that variable. In general for making things easy.to.maintain it's better to not build project-wide stylesheets with raw CSS.

I’m sure the Intel board members will be drying their tears with hundred dollar bills when their assistants tell them about this article. I don’t remember a time when Intel either had a strategy or the strategy wasn’t short-sighted.

You didn’t need a library to do this. Just alias document.querySelector and document.querySelectorAll to something shorter. Polluting the global namespace with functions to document.createElement on every possible html tag is not a good idea.

New comment by henriquez in "Warframe devs report 80% of game crashes happen on Intel's Core i9 chips"

henriquez — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 17:10:34 +0000

I’d be curious if these were predominantly mobile or desktop i9s. I have an i9 laptop that regularly runs at 100 degrees Celsius which is supposedly “safe” for these chips but it doesn’t really feel safe when it touches my skin. I’ve experienced firsthand many laptops with thermal issues and just wonder if Intel is spec’ing these too high to win benchmark wars at the cost of stability.

Although if it’s just Warframe crashing perhaps the software itself isn’t well optimized for Intel’s big/little core setup on the newer 13th and 14th generation chips (performance and efficiency cores - supposed to be handled by the OS but with gaming all bets are off)

Because we don’t know how the brain works yet. Modern psychology and psychiatry is a joke.

> Also, with a license like this it's not accurate to say "Paramount - an Open Source package..." - that's a misuse of the term.

It’s not free and open source software (FOSS) that’s for sure. The GPL can’t be used like this, were it so simple plenty of others like Redis or Elasticsearch would have done so. This license is worse than no license.

henriquez — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 02:35:22 +0000

i got caught up in this B.S… literally got the rate locked T-Mobile account because of lifetime rate lock. then last year they sent me “opt-out” notification that my guaranteed rate was increasing unless I send a certified letter or some stupid shit. I dumped them the next week because i don’t have time in my life to play fuck-fuck games with shady companies. I hope there’s a class action lawsuit, I would gladly get on board.

MKULTRA was some overprivileged Ivy League frat douchebags with security clearances playing God with drugs and prostitutes, not really espionage in my book.

Espionage against citizens in violation of the constitution is immoral, but spying on other countries is fair game. It’s a huge part of U.S. military dominance.

Espionage is not necessarily done with malicious intent if it’s for the good of the country, right? Doesn’t justify trampling peoples’ human rights in any particular instance tho

This article is a platitude with no hard data. Climate impacts can be measured, so it’s suspicious to not include actual measurements when comparing X against Y. Feel free to educate me in the comments, it’s more than this article did.
