Yep, there were people hand-building wooden PC cases, building a fish tank into their case, painting fancy colors and patterns on it, ... And there were colored LEDs too, but they didn't come with bloatware OS-dependent software, becau

C does different things for 0.0 / 0.0 and 0 / 0 and it's not that weird to deal with (well it has other issues like it being platform dependent what happens with this). JS has no problem with it either (0.0 / 0.0 gives n

Python is extra annoying though with refusing to support division through zero the way other programming languages with IEEE floats do (i.e. output inf or nan instead of throwing an exception), even though it has no problem doing things lik

What exactly is this: Is this fast GPU like instructions that anyone can use in any operating system to run any open sourced LLMs on CPU with all your RAM rather than on a discrete GPU with its own limited amount of VRAM? Or is this a propr

Good points, the BAR FAQ's first question is "Best Twitch Stream Settings for BAR (OBS)", and the Gameplay page talks about physics, terrain, economy, units and weapons but answers nothing like: is there a single player campa

I have no idea if this was the reason behind turning the dark yellow into brown, but the brown was a much better looking color for DOS games so it was a good call They could also have done something about the two magentas though... E.g. mad

gdb (the debugger) sometimes prints dark blue text on a black background, which is unreadable. I customize the dark blue color when possible in VTE's due to this, but it's not always possible everywhere But I wonder what the devel

Every now and then I play quordle, octordle, and once a thousand-word variation (which breaks down gameplaywise to just getting every letter at every spot). A bit of reuse of the same word in the one-word version can't hurt I think
