Btw, I love this type of video where you breakdown and explain code like this and I've subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Especially with games, I think the video format lends itself well to demonstrating the ef

Shit, I remember arguing with people like him back when the whole pandemic started that it was a distinct possibility, one of several, that should be fairly evaluated like every other. And people like him just waved it off as conspiracy the

> Why do people reference the ‘10,000 hour’? It instantly reduces your credibility because that number was made up. It's just short-hand so we're on the same page and we all know that we're talking about the same thing. S

Fact is that we're way too optimistic as a species and we're unable to accept that anything could happen that might be worse than what we've seen in our lifetimes. See Fukushima and the flood walls. For some reason being proa

As somebody who works with legacy systems, it might take me a while to understand everything, but I think being able to experiment with different solutions rapidly is incredibly useful and has helped me zero in on the best possible solution

Based on what he said, it's clear that trying to run Apollo while servicing these users would cost him hundreds of thousands more than that with no guarantee that he'd be able to make up the difference over time. So he is just shu

I never felt speed was the primary reason for me to use i3wm (or my preferred tiled WM awesomewm). It just felt more convenient. I never had to worry about placing windows, which just removes a bunch of cognitive load. I want half a dozen t

Just because most users don't think about it doesn't mean it doesn't impact them and that they should be ignored. The very fact that they can't fight for the solution that best benefits them means the onus is on us as de

I recently discovered to my dismay that Firefox uses Windows 11's setting for whether to hide the scroll bar. And it's hidden by default. Though FF is happy to hide them by default on its own anyway. I can't imagine how this

Does it matter if you're running it in a VM just to play games? In any case, mydigitallife is a trustworthy source. They provide checksums and you can also check elsewhere to verify if you calculate the checksum. I've done this an

Okay, somebody explain these downvotes, because afaik none of these statements in this comment or the other downvoted comments about the mass of water are incorrect. Somebody make it make sense.

I think the reasonable solution would be to have a place to record all the possible tasks you have available, but you only go to it when you add things or need a new task. Have it separate from your todo/doing list, so you don't a

Huh? Edge, as you say, is based on Chrome. It has an extensions store where you can get uBlock. You can also get normal Chrome extensions if you want from the Chrome web store.

It's the power of defaults. Microsoft goes hard on trying to get you to sign in anywhere in Windows with your account and if you're not careful about which button you press, it'll then use that account for everything MS-relat

And yet you get people like Zuckerberg who'll stick around until the end. It's not like he cares about users or connecting people beyond them being a means to grow the company. Yet he saw through the company from its founding to t

According to my technician friends, yes. Apparently on most devices, USB-C ports are much less robustly attached than USB-A and are more prone to failure. Just because it's fine on Macs doesn't mean it's fine everywhere else.

I think the Cybertruck would've been successful even if they'd launched it the same week as their big presentation. People loved it or hated it the moment they saw it and it was all everybody talked about. That kind of word of mou

I'd like to move away from Reddit, but I don't see any viable place to go. The best thing about Reddit is how generally casual the user base is. It's not just a self-selected number of tech-affine users. It's people who

Russian ships sail around Europe all the time. What's your point? I don't know why you're trying to muddy the waters here. The countries around China do not want them to expand their territory. Why are you okay with China doi

Trains can mostly be quiet even if sometimes there are people who are louder than usual. It happens sometimes. I wouldn't characterize regional trains as loud.

None of this is true though? Regional trains are as clean as any other trains. ICE really aren't that nice (and I find it hard to accept the price difference on that basis - the only reason why I'd ever take ICE is because I don&#

I've come to the conclusion that science needs to be just another form of religion (without the theistic element). I don't have the time or the energy to go through the research to determine if climate change is real. I put my fai

I briefly tried to go without blocking anything through uBlock. I was willing to give sites a chance because I felt if they needed ads to survive, I'd put up with them. They're insufferable. Pop-ups, changing the layout after the

A large part of the world doesn't understand this about academic papers or science in general. I don't see how this is clear at all.
