Is it really? Going from CPU to GPU, I would have expected a much better improvement.

IME, it depends on the game. Mario Kart 8 and Mario Odyssey load really quickly, for example. All the Lego games seem to take forever to load tho, it's quite frustrating!

Can you say some more about brain health, like how much creatine to take, what the expected benefits are, please?

I tried to checkout nat.dev, but it wants me to create an account to see anything at all. What is nat.dev please?

I got caught up it this around 10 years back. Got my money back, but it took over a year to get it. Needless to say, since then I've paid attention to how deposits are guaranteed for any accounts I open.

Eh, you don't have to smoke cannabis (although even that is much healthier than tobacco) - you can vape it, or eat it. Vaping is especially good, since it's so efficient - a typical smoker will use between 2-4x less flower when

> In Germany it will be allowed to have three plants at home. Isn't that only for personal use though (i.e. you can't sell it)?

If that turned out to be the case, maybe we could have annual "vaccines", which would exist only to trigger anti-viral activity?

I have tried it, and while it's not "shit", it's not good, and certainly worse than Windows 10. It basically is Windows 10, but with more ads and a much worse UI. And it's full of stupid, niggling things, like bur

A bit of a tangent, but I looks at your link to Bernard. Aren't there a lot of broken link-checking services out there already? Curious to learn what your USP is, and/or your approach to competing in a saturated market.

Regardless, it certainly "feels" unfair. I did try using a UK-based IP too, but that didn't work (it was a data centre IP, so I guess they block them all).

They know I live in the UK though, I have a UK-based history with Amazon going back 10+ years.

I got this with Amazon Prime in Thailand recently too. Incredibly annoying - what does it matter where I stream from?!

I'm not the OP, but I read that qualification as meaning "I'm not some right-wing nutter that's paranoid about Red Danger, and I don't believe everything mainstream media tells me".

I've done this before too. Another approach is to front the site with Cloudflare, which passes the original IP in an HTTP header.

I actually hate being in a tall car - the level of roll is just horrible! I much prefer being close to the road.

You... don't need to change brake pads with an EV? Wheel bearings?

> This approach might seem horrifyingly outside-the-box I mean, this is how we routinely built client-server apps 20-30 years back. Everything old is new again! One of the big reasons so many moved away from this approach was security. G

Impressive! What do you think it is that you do that allows you to compete with VirusTotal, and even free tools like Jotti? Presumably you're now using commercial AV tools, rather than Clam? Did you have to get some kind of special lic

I have a B2B micro-ISV, and getting our infosec product in front of the right people is tricky. Would love to hear something about your approach to marketing and advertising?

Have you had any issues with the authorities or law enforcement? Are you planning on shutting it down once you reach a certain figure? (I ask, since this seems very risky!)

Playing Devil's advocate here, but there are some good reasons you might do this. For example, Docker's "pull" system is great for updates, and means it's trivial to rollback to an earlier version if something went

Doesn't Postgres actually use it's TOAST system (basically pointers to blobs on disk) for any large value anyway?

I also worked with subsea companies for a long time, and can concur - they'd do anything to get new engineering and manufacturing contracts, then make the margins later on aftermarket service. It wasn't a secret either, people wer
