If you use your car as battery during the night it won't have energy in the morning when you need it. It defeats the purpose of having a car.

Entropy cannot be opposed. That's fundamental law of physics.

GPU driver, most devs are senior. Hundreds of thousands of lines of code in the "slice" my team is interested in. Team for our component has on it's own has probably over 40 people…

I work in probably what is considered one of the least "safe" languages: C++ The issues that Rust is supposed to help with are simply not what we spent time on. All the bugs report…

This article is super overcomplicated. All it had to say was that rust tells you when you keep reference to on stack variable after it goes out of scope. Context provided adds noth…

To be fair youtube is not really social media in traditional sense. It's more of a content delivery platform. It's not a place where you go to watch pixtures from your friends holi…

If you don't collect data on the visitors you don't need to do anything to comply.

Are any NFTs at all actually on chain? First time I hear about this.

NFTs are completely useless for this. Why would game use blockchain to store ownership of an item? There are exactly 0 benefits to doing that instead just tracking it on their won …

It's not going to end this quickly. Whichever side loses will keep going at it until they exhaust all legal paths.

When I was a kid I kept hearing in the media that in 20 years oceans levels will rise by 7meters which would mean the big cities near me would be under water. 20 years have passed …

Is that what research says? Winters in Poland have been getting warmer not colder. When I was a kid every winter snow started falling in december and started letting up late februa…

Gender has nothing to do with this. You just can't tell someone to type code into google docs and expect it to just work and worst off all judge a persons skill on this basis. It t…

The problem is it won't run. It was written in google docs without IDE. Everyone who programmed in their lives knows this. You cannot write out a whole algorithm like that and not …

That is irrelevant. Asking someone to type non trivial code outside of IDE and then expecting it to compile and run without issues is lunacy. Even junior programmers know this. The…

That's an advantage. Since google tuned up their engine to treat authoritative results as better their searches became absolute dogshit. You search for a very specific thing and al…
