Ukrainians aren't under any kind of sanctions so why not just use a service like Wise? As for anything related to crypto, most of it is a scam so it comes as no surprise that the few companies trying to be legit in this field are under

Ok so are you arguing Ukrainians are privileged? Being the poorest country in Europe, having lost 4 million to genocide in the 1930's, currently having apartment buildings bombed by Russian missiles, and so on? Are you really arguing

> Whites are an ethnic minority in South Africa after all. Oh look, another disingenuous comparison of people who colonized every continent versus people who were oppressed for 700 years and had a genocide carried out against them becaus

So is this more Russian propaganda denying that Ukrainians are a distinct people or a brain-dead comment about how all white people are the same? Because while the British were conquering half the world and running the transatlantic slave t

Yes, that's what lead to Zelenskiy being elected. Lots happened in the 8 years since this article was written...

I mean in the sense that no one questions the idea that it should be allowed to be an ethnic enclave. Meanwhile here's an entire article saying Ukrainians shouldn't be allowed to have a community.

No one complains about Brampton yet a Ukrainian community is an issue? Edit - there's also the issue of Chinatowns, Jewish enclaves and others, yet this article wants to attack Ukrainians, why?

60 cooks and 30+ waiters serve around 100 guests. That's how. Labour is expensive. A more "normal" but still "fine dining" spot will serve 100 guests with 10 cooks and 10 waiters. And the prices look cheaper but

Noma's financials are public because Denmark requires all companies to make their records public. It's profitable, but paying interns min wage will eat away about half their profit. Paying all their staff a living wage wouldn&#x

The news isn't just that Noma abused the practice of internships, it's that people have decided that interning at these high end restaurants is no longer worth it. In the old days, a few years at the high end then a year at a Noma

So what are you currently making with Haskell? And is there any game engine or libs that we should be using?

You can't just become a console developer though... You need to have proven releases on desktop or mobile before any console maker will even let you touch their devkit...

Godot has realtime GI... And while it doesn't have streaming as mentioned it does have automatic LOD reduction and occlusion culling which are both a part of what Nanite does.

Why? What commercial game is physics-heavy? Most commercial games have scripted character movement (every FPS, RPG, strategy games, basically almost every genre) and the only physics objects are random falling objects that don't affec

Lots of ML workloads on GPU and Vulkan stuff. Edit - Apple's lockdown is getting worse when it comes to APIs and there's definitely no guarantee macOS won't become as locked down as iOS...

It's not exactly a revelation that ARM chips are more efficient than x86... It would be nice if someone other than Apple put some real effort into non-x86 laptops but here we are... Of course, I'm still never going to be stuck in

This journalist doesn't get it. Delivery pizza isn't competing against someone who can make pizza in a $1000 purpose-built home oven. Delivery pizza is cheap, tasty enough and convenient. For $20 or so you can have a pizza deli

If they made a US-built laptop with CoreBoot, a decent keyboard and a 4K OLED screen I'd buy it in a second. Would probably be willing to spend $2500 on it.

I mean, the System76 discussed also isn't available at this exact moment either...

by Mikeb85 4y ago
Except System76 charges premium prices for subpar hardware... Like they don't have anything built as nicely as a Dell XPS or a ThinkPad Z or X1 Carbon. Even Acers look more premium...

I mean, I like Linux and am a bit of an ideologue... I want System76 to succeed and want to buy a laptop from them but I also like using nice hardware.
