It's not hard to believe that we could make self replicating drones in the next 100 years that go from system to system, make a few more, and continue. We've already sent drones out of our solar system. They don't have…
Let me also add, in many other categories, I've rarely found a correlation between price, brand, and quality. Worst luggage I ever owned was Rimowa. It was the most expensive I've bought and broke several times. They'd…
I'm curious. My previous soft was from Ikea. Of course Ikea makes cheap disposable furniture but this sofa, IMO, was not one of those. It was made of real wood, not particle board. It was super well designed. It…

the smart way to do it is to name an exit like Exit B5 or A12. The signs in the station, and Google Maps, will generally tell how to get to a specific exit. Or probably better would be a famous landmarks tho there…
I think you missed the point. The point isn't that these features don't have a purpose. The point is rather, at every line of code you have many choices that you arguably shouldn't need. Should I use a raw pointer or a…
Don't know which ones did. TRS-80, C-64, VIC-20, Atari 800, Apple II, did NOT
I grew up typing programs from softdisk magazine, Compute! etc... into TRS-80, Apple II, Atari 800, and C-64. I still think JavaScript in a browser is better. JavaScript is way more powerful than Basic on any of those 4…
I haven't a clue how they compare but a Studio Mac with an M2 Ultra can get 192GB of unified ram for $5700 (PS: not a mac fan, a curious)
I just cleaned out my build folders and did a full build. 40M+ lines, 3 mins and 35 seconds. If you're not getting similar speed then maybe you should look into adding more machines. Last time I was on game dev the best…
That's not the point. The point is you shouldn't need that crap in the first place.
You realize you're talking about a 1bedroom apartment, not a single family home. It shouldn't require an L5 job at FAANG to just barely be able to afford 1bedroom apartment.
tagging doesn't work period because people will tag things to try to get their product in front of your eyes and add any tag they think is popular entirely unrelated to their "product".

> today it would be much harder, > It also helps that my SO works as a designer for another FAANG. Thanks for confirming my point :)
They're not affordable for FANG employees. According to levels.fyi an L5 at Google makes $349,163, of that they'll keep 60% after taxes so 209k. It sounds like a lot (and it is in comparison to people making less) but a…
and you require a whole OS. I expect browsers to outlast OSes. Browsers ran on MacOS 9 and software that ran on those browsers still runs today. MacOS 9 itself, not so much
If you've got a 10M+ LOC project and you're not doing some kind of distributed build you're throwing money and time away.
feature phones are not a dominate thing in japan. https://www.soumu.go.jp/johotsusintokei/whitepaper/ja/r04/ht... 86% of the population owns a smartphone. That's higher than the USA
A website works on all platforms; Mac, Linux, Windows, ChromeOS, ... maybe even Android. An app works on a single platform. To me, they could put it on github and serve it on github pages. I suspect though that there's…

that would be impossible for me to answer since I already know python. Scratch is programming just no possibility of syntax errors
