I dream that the reason AMD delayed their launch and are being so cryptic, is because they saw how underwhelming the 5080 was and decided to make a card (perhaps a 9070 XT) that matches its performance at the price of a 5070 or something.
Now I don’t think that will happen. Their previous market strategies have been very uninspired. But there’s certainly an opening here to make a play for market share and make Nvidia look like greedy fools.
Why upgrade from a 4080 to a 5080?
What are some of the outstanding issues that haven’t been addressed? I feel like there are genuinely good ways of doing everything these days
They’ve done amazing work trying to turn the clusterfuck they started with into a good language
How many of these “lacking features” are actually standardized? Of course some draft under development by Google will only work in the latest version of Chrome. It might not even work in future versions of Chrome, since it’s not standardized.
If you built something that requires such a feature, it’s you who is choosing to write code that is incompatible with the standards and only works on a particular browser version. You can’t blame others for that.
Don Lumo is in with them!
I tend to write guthub.com and then chuckle to myself imagining a social network where people have beer bellies as their profile pictures
It’s essentially just a bunch of pre-made css classes that do a specific thing that you mix and match from.
AFAIK the programmatic part is so your served CSS file will only include the classes you actually use, rather than all available ones. You could always just not do that.
It always seemed to me like one of the least overengineered front end tools.
I guess if people expected it to be like Pitch Black they were disappointed. I didn’t see Pitch Black until later (and didn’t find it very memorable), but they are very different movies.
I think the thing I like so much about Chronicles is that it’s unabashedly fantastical and epic. It reminds me of Warhammer 40k and Conan the Barbarian, really fine cheese.
I loved The Chronicles of Riddick! It’s bombastic space opera, of which we have much too little that isn’t Star Wars tripe, and Vin Diesel is perfect in this role.
Maybe it’s like the UN councils and the senate members are elected by the general assembly?
Yeah the tech labor market has really proven that the idea of employment contracts being negotiated between equal parties isn’t true even in the best of circumstances.
Even when companies are desperate for talent, and willing to spend ridiculous amounts of money on salaries and perks, they are not willing to negotiate on anything outside of that. They still have terrifying contracts with non-compete and damages clauses they could use to wreck your life, no workplace democracy, unpaid overtime and whatever other shit is legal.
But hey! You get free snacks and enough money to buy the dinners you don’t time to cook and save up to survive your inevitable burn out!
Unless unions work differently where you live, they are a democracy that will pursue whatever issues its members vote on. If members don’t think pay is a problem, why would they try to change it?
I’m still pissed at being forced to write in a passive voice in university. It’s awkward and carries less information, and makes it seem like nobody had any agency, science just kind of happened on its own and you were there to observe it.
I don’t know why anyone would prefer something like “An experiment was conducted and it was found that…”
To the much better “We conducted an experiment and found…”
Don’t go by any general rules. If you are unsure, take it home and sit down with your mushroom guide book and go through all the ways of identifying it and separating it from similar species until you are sure, or you give up and throw it away.
Just off the cuff here are a couple of examples that violate the advice given above, golden chanterelle is very spicy but perfectly edible; gyromitra esculenta (“false morel”) does not have lamelles, is supposed to be mildly flavoured, but is deadly toxic.
ls -r actually lists entries in reverse order! It needs -R as well.
cp and rm accept either.
Looking at some man pages the only commands I found where -R didn’t work were scp and gzip where it doesn’t do anything, and rsync where it’s “use relative path names”.
(Caveat: BSD utils might be different, who knows what those devils get up to!)
Not chmod related, but I’ve made some other interesting mistakes lately.
Was trying to speed up the boot process on my ancient laptop by changing the startup services. Somehow ended up with nologin never being unset, which means that regular users aren’t allowed to log in; and since I hadn’t set a root password, no one could log in!
Installed a different version of Python for a project, accidentally removed the wrong version of Python at the end of the day. When I started the computer the next day, all sorts of interesting things were broken!
Aha! I didn’t get that you meant the issue was accidentally using -r instead of -R since both you and OP wrote the upper case one.
I’m a lot more used to -R so I instead get caught off by commands where that means something other than recursive :)
I mostly use symbolic mode and honestly don’t get why everyone else seems to use octal all the time.
That’s what -R does in chmod as well? I feel like something here is going completely over my head. Or are you-all using another version of chmod?
This is such lukewarm obvious stuff to anyone who’s done any agile project management that it’s mind-boggling they would fail to do it.
But I guess it’s what happens when decision are made by bean counters with absolute authority.
