Considering how common some version of this story is, and based on my own experiences as a patient, I'm convinced that most doctors lack a functional understanding of conditional probability. They seem to think that if the prevalence o

Documentation of this seems to have disappeared into the ether, but I'm reminded of the time that glxgears (or a distro package of it?) briefly turned off FPS output by default, with the argument to turn it on being something like --i-

I wonder just how much of this has been driven by third-party vendors dropping Windows 7 users. I know it's not zero, because I helped a die-hard Windows 7 user switch to Linux specifically due to the Steam deadline. It's easy to

I get the impression that career Windows C++ programmers, and especially game programmers, tend to really like Visual Studio. Especially IntelliSense and the debugger. To the extent that equivalents exist on Linux, the consensus seems to be

I'm starting to feel like it might make more sense to model these sites not as matchmaking services, but as unregulated online casinos where the jackpot is sex instead of money. The odds are heavily stacked against the average customer

IIe and IIc have a vsync status bit that you can poll, but IIRC the polarity was flipped between the two models and there are other quirks that can interfere with using it, so it was neither recommended nor popular.

That's been a dream for nearly as long as the web has been around. I'm pretty sure there are mailing list threads from the '90s about turning micropayments into a standardized web API. As far as I can tell, this never caught
