In other words, it doesn't run Doom yet . Great project, and excellent execution!

FWIW, it doesn't have to be a land yacht to look like an angry Decepticon. Just look at the rear design of the BMW i3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_i3#/media/File:2021_BMW_i3... I'm still at a

I played many of them up to that point (even the SNES version), and 4 left a discernable source taste in my mouth. I could see the potential, and it was at times fun. But, for me personally, it just never hit the right notes to harmonize al

This is a stretch. 4 was alright, but it also marked the death of the series. 3 was great, 2 was legendary. There's a great reason Cities: Skylines became the spiritual successor.

There is the world of used Nvidia Teslas, like the M40. Very cheap, but some assembly required.

I applaud your experience, but honestly I agree with parent: knowledge acquisition for a side project may not be the best use of their time, especially if it significantly impedes actually launching/finishing a first iteration. It&#x27

I appreciate that you must live in a cooler climate. This is not the case everywhere. My garage cooks on a bad day. Great for the hot water heater, not so great for everything else.

Unbelievable. I just ran into this myself. Same root cause: no space, old firmware.

It's up for debate, but I would define "staff" as "here is a vaguely understood problem we believe has to be solved; find out what it is, whether it actually is a thing, why it happened, whether it is worth the time to s

It comes across as extortion. "Pay us money or we'll put up a sign saying you're a bad person for...doing exactly what the Inernet designed for." Surely this will kill their SEO as well.

The debt itself is effectively leverage invented by congress. It has no real merit beyond a poker chip that also happens to be the financial nuclear option. I don't see their motivation to get rid of something that actively works in th

Spotify is facing a similar crisis. AI generated songs being listened to by bots, presumably to generate money. https://cointelegraph.com/news/spotify-reportedly-deletes-th...

I think the real killer of Java in the browser was Flash. It was still terrible, but Flash was way more accessible.

I recall those days. To be fair, it was asking a lot of the hardware at the time to run both a browser and Java itself. I also recall the JVM had painfully slow start times that weren't rectified for years. These were also largely th

I'm just grateful a language like Java has any sort of namespace solution to dependency nightmares. I have lost track of how many times I did a git pull on a Python based solution only to find I broke all the things when I tried to upg

That's easy: we'll make the ultimate build system! It will scale, and maintain packages, and compile all the things transitively. Just give me $xx million dollars and a few years, and I'll give you the perfect solution. Just

Sounds like someone has been in the trenches of a certain online retail company. As a developer, I have certainly seen the same. Pretty sure this very scenario is where I heard the term "away team" used in the industry: send your

Kubernetes isn't something I'd put in the same sentence as 'easy'. Docker is a close contender for the same. I still recall the day when my local Docker builds necessitated a new router to properly manage streaming traff

I also speculate they have gotten all they can out of the arrangement. Or it just isn't as economically lucrative as holding back some of that power as a speculative bet on the future.

Thank you for providing that article; it was great. I was unable to find a reference to lab-grown diamonds and their contribution to diamond laundering. Can you help me find that here?

It does raise an interesting question: is the 'spectrum' bigger because marketing wanted to capitalize, or is it a bigger range of outcomes on chips due to the progression of shrinking fab sizes?

Let's not forget what they started calling 'gold', which in many cases is just Celeron+. But don't confuse that with 'silver', designed for ultralight computing. Honestly, I'm somewhat convinced that Intel

The honest question is, is any of us willing to be that person? Therapists are helpful, but they certainly aren't friends in the strictest since. And let's not forget that $70 bucks a year is probably, at best, 2-ish hours with

This jumped to mind for me too. Basically 5-10 unique elements per planet, arranged to give it an organicish feel, but the terrain sadly lacks much to explore. The most interesting planets tend to be more forested or have extreme terrain fe

Citation needed. You suggest lab grown versions can be used to launder the 'real' ones...to what end? Lab grown versions are considerably cheaper; laundering implies you will mix the two, which will likely reduce what the real on

An M40 24GB is less than $200, if you don't mind the trouble to get it's drivers installed, cooled, etc. It's also important to note your motherboard must support larger VRAM addressing; many older chipsets won't be able

I prefer to go for the multi-hit, but the blue ones don't have enough inertia. In all seriousness, mobile gaming is an extremely crowded market. To their credit, they capitalized on their early success and did what they could to build

I don't buy the excuse about it as a "small company". How big was it again working on HL1 and HL2? Portal 2? The list goes on. Let's be honest with ourselves: they got bored with it, made more money doing something else,
