The problem with Qt and Electron is that there is no GUI editor worth its salt right now. C#+WPF/UWP had Expression Blend since the mid 2000s and it's only been getting worse ever since (and MS said they have no interest in bringi

Some of the writing feels like a cult (krakenites, the Mission , true believers) while the other seems like they're trying to pander to right-wingers. Perhaps they see the current climate of companies going all "woke", and w

Godot's high level networking is so nice because it's easy to do either. Since everything in Godot is nodes, you can assign "ownership" of nodes to peers. Every peer has full control over their nodes and then you sync th

Why wouldn't the used market eat them up? The existing infrastructure of gas station is realistically not going away until enough people have ditched their old vehicles, and cars are thankfully an industry where consumers still expect

Something cool about Godot for this use case: the Input API has cursor pressure and tilt builtin (already normalized too). I keep getting impressed by how much stuff in Godot is… just there.

I tried it but like most note taking apps like this, I feel like that drawing with vectors just doesn't feel that great: The stroke changes a bit after being jotted down, the curves sometimes end up jagged, the erase experience sometim

That's my bad, you are correct! My assumption was that frame delay exploits the fact that CPU are way faster than original hardware (hence you can defer computation later since it will take less anyway) and since the most common trick

Agreed, but I can also see why they would hesitate a bit with RetroArch being used in all sorts of scenarios, some that come to mind: - Powerful computers (so should be on by default) - Embedded devices (ON or OFF depending how well it work

You need to distinguish design trends from what the regulation enforced. The most obvious examples that come to mind: - Small cars aren't that small anymore to stop them from being blatant death traps. - A lot of the edges have been sm

It's not a new thing. Car design has been dictated by regulations for decades and while I'm sure it has definitely stopped some novel designs from getting out there, I think we can be mostly thankful that we don't live in a s

If it's going down to a pettiness war, I don't think the legislators will give up that easily. Apple reacting in a petty way not only shows that the legislators were right on the money (while adapting shows they were forced, wheth

On the Docker for Windows note, it's not podman but after I had trouble with their "forced upgrade unless enterprise" policy (which made me update to a broken version with a known issue they didn't solve for weeks) I swi

MIT is not viral and it's what makes it so popular, you trade a copyright notice somewhere for the right to re-license to any license of your choosing, that makes it the opposite of viral if anything. > And is copyleft really more i

You have it backwards, stuff like Websockets are built by design to be incompatible with existing implementations. This is because Javascript code is untrusted/untrustworthy, and we already had a plethora of attacks due to foreign JS d

Yes because so far, they've experienced 100% of the issues (lack of moderation, wild exploitation with no way to get un-scammed, lack of consistency and clarity) and 0% of the benefits (you could tax something 100% its value and still

I can't see how that is desirable in the slightest. People who like to play with trading card games don't enjoy the artificial scarcity part, they accept it as a necessary evil enforced to them by the manufacturer. I don't th

Yes, but unlike screw-on cameras, the process here takes out the original lens, so you expose the bare sensor to whatever glass you will add later on. C/CS/D mount are screw-on, they are also completely manual, so you lose softwar

Only tangentially related but if you already have a popular Logitech webcam (like the C920) chances are you can find a kit to mount C/CS/D-mount lenses on it, like with this one: https://www.kurokesu.com/shop/

I get some of the frustration (especially with the projects using Discord for bug reporting and worse yet, hosting builds), but I think most of the uses are legitimate. Yes Discord is far from the best in most cases, but you can't deny

I'd wager there's enough people, but I never looked into it so I have no data other than the people I know IRL. I will add something though, I don't think the other way lends itself too well to being "discoverable".

This is so sad. Every time I boot up Plan9 for fun I'm reminded their remoting solution (drawterm) does graphics just fine (since everything is just files, and graphics is done by writing to a software framebuffer device file). Sure, i

I've been using catch-all addresses for a decade (with Google Apps.. rip) and I doubt that will ever get counter-measured. It's been really nice to catch those few cases where a service clearly sold my email to advertiser.

Depends how you measure it. Any X kg/lbs of matter here on earth is still that same X kg/lbs everywhere in the universe. Assuming the scale being used to weight is correctly calibrated to whatever planet it's in, it would sti
