What this capturing software also does is it lies to the demo program about the time that passed between the frames, so the demo makers don't even care about running in realtime, because for them, it's like running on a PC that&#x

An old iPadOS means an old safari, which means some of the websites are going to get suspicious. I remember one day not being able to open any Cloudflare website.

People just don't care. Even Stallman is okay with a microwave with closed-source firmware as long as it doesn't try to update its firmware. For most people, a computer is just another appliance. They don't consider the secur

Some people actually have mouths to feed. Some people don't have the luxury of preaching for whatever ideals they have without a need to release anything in 10 years; that doesn't make their products "garbage".

About 30% of people worldwide use a language that's not written in Roman alphabet. Additionally, being written in Roman alphabet doesn't neccessarily mean it's clear how to pronounce it. Hungarians calls their country "M

Not my experience, unfortunately. I worked on a SceneKit project, it was bad. In general, it suffered from the problem of even Apple not knowing what it was made for, and what it even is. For a 3D API, it has less features than OpenGL 2. Fo

Yes, that's complete nonsence. My friend was on a guided tour to North Korea, and they aware of a lot of things. For example, the population of the North and the South was somehow accurately described to the tourists as 25 and 50 milli

I have never been a big enterprise integrator, and I thought exactly like this. Then in 2024 the CrowdStrike BSOD screw up happened, and I was surprised to learn that no, not everything is airgapped. Apparently, businesses are okay with unt

It's a question of scope, though. Imagine you are an American designing a system. What about non-Latin alphabets? Yeah, these should probably be converted, nobody's going to bother with those. What about Hungarians, should we care

Let's not equate Cyrillic to Russian. Cyrillic is also a script of multiple other languages, including Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Serbian (when Serbs feel like using it). Answering your question - basically, this comes down to the tradit

Which begs the question - if all of these projects got it "wrong", what's the chance that the "right" thing isn't right at all? All animation is inherently discrete. No matter how many threads you have, there a

The wonders of propaganda make it so that "Ukrainians bombed it" is given as an irrefutable fact, and not something that needs a lot of evidence. Nobody remembers anymore that Pres. Biden himself said, “If Russia invades ... there

Here's one that's not a myth: IEEE-754 floats are the only "primitive types" that allow "a == a" to not be true. I.e., two floats that are _identical_ to each other (even when it's _the same_ variable, on

Firefox's units are quite smart, actually. 60 is divisible by 3, 4, 5 and 6, so they are quite future-proof for the future when we'll have the displays with devicePixelRatio = 6.
