Re:Deleting 50k Lines of Code in 3 Days on Thursday December 14, 2023 @07:58AM (#38640826)

Common? Perhaps in less than ideal or legacy situations. Best practice, definitely not.

A lot of website projects I have worked on in the past included composer or node dependencies in the repository. It really slows down the whole git system.

I miss OiNK, Waffles, and What so dearly. Music has never been the same for me since.

Re:4K4D: Real-Time 4D View Synthesis at 4K Resolution on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @09:37PM (#37923891)

Incredible!

How many cameras does this method require? As far as I can tell from the paper it still generates from multi-view source data. I can't say for sure but it seems like a large number from what I can parse as a layman.

It's a local news piece so it's not meant for a technical audience. That's why they lead with the typical "random bystander" quotation.

Re:Recreate the cavity-preventing GMO bacteria BCS3-L1 from precursor on Wednesday July 12, 2023 @09:07PM (#36703869)

The bacteria which cause cavities also evolved alongside us. The problem worsened as we introduced more food for the bacteria (from the agrarian diet).

Subgrid is going to be so nice to have. Layouts that designers consider 'obvious' will be trivial to implement. No more hackery to make nested elements vertically align.

I took several classes on it and I still didn't really 'get' it until I had to work on challenging problems in the real world. Granted, my education was not great quality overall.

Re:Xbrowsersync – open-source Bookmark Synching on Thursday December 22, 2022 @08:51AM (#34093185)

I use bookmarks to enhance this. I save a page and then rename the bookmark to some letter codes, for hackernews it's "hn: Hacker News", which makes typing "hn" bring up the bookmark no matter how cluttered, or recently cleared, my browser history becomes.

Thanks for the writeup!

I have not seen or heard of any engineering cuts in any of my circle's workplaces. Only supporting staff (project managers etc).

I clicked on a few of the google sheets linked in the article and it seems (at least per my random selection) that this seems to be the case at these places too.

For me, this went away after a fortnight or so. I also find that if I fall off of my routine, when I restart with a decent fast (72 hours or so) it eliminates this adjustment period. Kicks the body into keto

Re:Google postpones MV2 shutoff in Chrome stable to June 2023 on Wednesday September 28, 2022 @05:23PM (#33013462)

The 'switch to firefox' meme-storm and the still-horrible bugginess of mv3 made this inevitable.
