The article mentions that you can't use FPS as a yardstick for performance if you're already getting "max", but there is a way around this.
You can measure the frame start and end time (duration) and divide 1000/average duration over 1 second. This will give you the render speed even if that's not the actual number of rendered frames.
I recommend water. Good lifestyle which makes you happy is good enough, no need for mood altering substances which is a slippery slope that can lead to dependence or addiction.
Cultivate a life of happiness by making good choices and let your choices snowball. If your life is so good you will be happier than any substance could make you feel.
I've experienced a similar effect but from a fresh operating system reinstall from any of Windows, Mac and Linux. I expect it's due to a fresh disk format and install, so all the files should be unfragmented for faster sequential reads. Also over time the search indices and data builds up which just makes things slower.
I haven't used Windows 11 much myself but I just thought I would mention this. I've even seen this effect on an iPad where a fresh install makes searching fast again but over time the search function just becomes excruciatingly slow.
You didn't share how old you are, but I'm almost 30 and felt like before while working a highly demanding job my memory and mind was slightly affected. Just from sustained pressure over time.
Almost 1.5 years after quitting my mind feels just like it did when I was 20. Only difference is now just a different personality from being older I'd say. I'll be soon beginning a new job though so wish me luck!
I'm currently living single, and I definitely found that only using natural light helps immensely. I don't even turn on the lights after 9pm ish and just see by street light barely coming in the windows. It actually works great. Makes me feel more connected to the physical world also.
I have some doubts about this, since I feel like using a screen as a keyboard is more prone to joint based injury or wear and tear like posture or RSI related problems. So at least I don't think it would be the main keyboard type.
Sounds like you have a talented developer on your hands without enough experience for the business sense. Maybe for the inter personal sense also.
Sounds like a mid level developer since they have the code skills but lacking experience and inter personal skills. I myself have been in this phase once, although I achieved significant improvements in UX, performance and maintainability though changing structure.
I would say just low key ask them what's the business case or engineering justification for the rewriting. Ask them to justify the justification, just probe their process. Over time hopefully you can converge an agreement.
You mentioned his views are binary but this isn't very important. Maybe he's just being to the point or concise. A bigger issue could be if he's hurting other people's feelings with comments in which case that just needs to be brought to his attention if he doesn't realize.
All the code there was likely written by existing members of the team so criticizing that code could be taken badly by other people, well intentioned or not. Ask him to think about other people hearing somebody criticize the projects they worked on.
Structural change for performance improvement or making the code less error prone are the 2 big reasons I can see for rewriting code. 3rd being if the codebase is just legacy and needs to be updated.
There's nothing wrong with an experienced dev improving code structure (at the expense of working on more tickets) but it needs at least an engineering or business justification generally.
I'm guessing they publish their tax rate on the first page to counter criticisms of "big corps that pay no taxes".
It's hard to deny that a company cannot grow forever with the same product. There's literally only so many people on Earth. It's not a bad thing for growth to stop. It's a bad thing for your product to offer a sub par user experience though. I think this is where Facebook has suffered as they prioritized metrics and numbers over making a product that people love.
It seems from the statement that the fed understands that the inflation is being caused by supply chains and the war in Russia. What I don't get though is how that's considered monetary inflation as opposed to the money supply increasing. I thought that it was just price increases.
So the fed mandate is just to ensure that the prices of goods and services barely ever changes even if it means tanking all the markets?
If I never left my parents house I would have had much more time to work on entrepreneurial projects. Instead of playing computer games I should have focused on more productive activities.
At the end of the day you can't live in the past though. We all make our choices due to reasons.
Just providing a cautious view: living on an island sounds like a fantasy but in practice it's very isolating, many supply chain issues and it can be hard/expensive to get a hold of items produced off the island
I'm not the biggest expert in this area but sounds like Portugal is popular with this demographic. It might be able to meet a lot of your requirements.
Outside of that then the world is your oyster. The world is a big beautiful place and if you work in tech you're only limited by your own imagination.
So sick of reading all the time about people wanting to get rich from crypto grift. It's not providing any value to society to buy crypto and resell it at a higher price later to some sucker.
These people don't even want to use crypto to make transactions. It's definitely not a good idea to put all your net worth in it for a number of reasons also. Principally being it's not a mature system. There's nothing that says a new crypto alternative will come out tomorrow that totally voids all the stuff that exists today.
