> The US is younger than a single Chinese dynasty.
Eh? There are like 60 Chinese dynasties throughout history. The US has been around longer than most of them. And some of the dynasties that were around longer than the US has been will lose that title if the US lasts another ~30 years. The Qing, Ming, Tang, etc. dynasties all lasted ~275 years, and the US has been around for 248 by now. But the vast majority of the Chinese dynasties lasted like 10 to 50 years.
I fault the people complaining about performance of a city builder running at 1440p more than the developer. You're looking at concrete and asphalt and brick textures and shit like that. You don't need anything higher than 720p.
If you buy pine or oak or cedar you can be pretty darn sure it is regenerative. That's how the industry is able to exist: they cut the same fields of trees every 15-30 years.
If you're concerned, you can always plant a tree or two somewhere for every project you do that uses wood. There are lots of places that let you plant trees even outside your own property.
That's not really "full self driving" if you are referring to the SAE scale. Level 5, the top, is fully autonomous driving, everywhere. What you are referring to is level 4; fully autonomous driving in specific geofenced areas on predetermined routes. Think Delamain in Cyberpunk 2077.
Oh my god yes trying to watch Carnival Row is freaking impossible during the day. But also, I'd be OK with worse picture if they would let the sound guys actually get a microphone within 20 feet of the actors.
Yes, actually. According to current FTC rules, canceling a subscription has to be as easy or easier than signing up for it. Lina Khan is great, and a shining example of why votes matter and both parties aren't the same.
The vast majority of users never post an answer or a question, and most of those that post only once or twice never get upvoted (or get downvoted more than upvoted), so their reputation stays at 1.
I think they said a couple years ago that over 50 or 60% of registered users have 1 reputation.
Well, IE has not been receiving feature updates for over a year. It only receives security patches, and these days only critical ones. It is a dead browser; do not use it unless your job forces you to.
It's likely that Amazon and GM want far more control in the car manufacturing process than someone like Elon Musk would be willing to give. So it's not so much why Amazon and GM aren't willing, but that Musk isn't. Rivian makes superb trucks, but it's incredibly small right now and not likely to last a long time without some kind of deep-pocket investment... especially considering its business strategy is as much an electric vehicle platform as it as a 'traditional' electric automobile manufacturer... that last bit is probably super enticing for a company like Amazon.
The main things you should learn to become decent at CSS are:
- the box model
- how cascading, specificity, and inheritance work
- googling CSS problems with the site:stackoverflow.com filter
Bit tongue-in-cheek with that last one, but the rest will give you a solid understanding of why certain things work the way they do when your code doesn't look the way you expect.
> I can't do anything basic on CSS without turning for help
The thing is, if you are working with a whole website (even simple looking websites can have a lot of HTML and CSS), then there are often no "simple" problems, at least with layout, because every element can and often does affect every other element.
Sometimes you just need a good old analogy or picture to demonstrate some things: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33132586/why-isnt-my-mar... (disclaimer - I wrote that answer). In a lot of ways, your elements and their CSS are like rocks in a river... the water/document flows around them in certain ways, which affects stuff around them or downstream. Removing one or adjusting it can change how the water/document flows, and thus can affect other rocks/elements, etc.
