There’s no dilemma. You vote for survival unless you don’t want to survive.

I assume you weren’t a contractor, but if you were it depends on whether your contract specifies “work for hire.”

You’re sort of missing the point. Two programming implementations are never the same if you rewrite them from scratch for anything but the most trivial program. It wouldn’t be a copy of the original and it would have a unique, if similar, implementation. It’s not as clear cut as you suggest (at least not for the reasons you suggest, but IANAL.)
It took a wrong turn in the 90s. There’s been no real feasible way to fix it without breaking the web for many decades now. Some things are just forever despite their problems, like QWERTY.
This meme is really only true for things like Slack where the app is just the webpage in an app, and even then it’s not quite true because Electron is a lot heavier than a webpage because it has to now run the webpage and the app - which I think is terrible.
But then also, Electron enables actual apps to be developed using web standards - which I think is great.
TLDR: Use Electron to make apps, not glorified webpages.
- Bipta@kbin.socialtoProgramming@programming.dev•Refusing TypeScript is a signal that you don't care about code quality3 years
My sense is that this argument primarily holds for teams without thorough code reviews. For individuals or teams with good reviews, TypeScript adds little except for complex code or massive rewrites. I’m not saying it adds little in absolute terms, but that it adds little once you account for the overhead of using it.

I’m reminded that those who actually make the games don’t get that. They have overtime without pay.
Yes, capitalism fucks everyone every day unless you fight for what you deserve, usually for decades, and even then only getting half of it. It’s surprising that keeping this in mind requires reminders.
Before I do anything “risky” with forms I copy the text AND paste it somewhere else to confirm I really copied it. Only then do I take the next action, and still I get burned all the time by crap like this one way or another.
Not very programmer humor, but horrifyingly accurate.
And don’t forget to leave it a negative review.

3 yearsIn what sense is this “opening a direct tunnel?”
I don’t think you really understand what’s going on here; or otherwise, I don’t.
I’ve used BOINC without issue for over a decade.

I think you mean admins.
Wait, what? On Google??



They didn’t even mention a specific model. Why would you say they need 24gb to run any model? That’s just not true.
