  • No they wouldn't
    The second it became clear this was a larger theme they would sell the debt at a premium to the debt collectors
    If it somehow got to the point of hurting a utility or big company government would ride in to the rescue

  • 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

  • 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'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
