A long time ago I did some IT work for a real estate agent in the US that dealt in international properties. I was stoked on a listing he had up for a beautiful French chateau for $40k. He told me to forget it. “It’ll need completely new el

It's mentioned in the piece: As Lyman Stone wrote in 2020, “pro-natal incentives do work: more money does yield more babies… But it takes a lot of money. Truth be told, trying to boost birth rates to replacement rate purely through ca

Agreed! I stuck with Firefox for a long time, but within the last year moved to Brave because too many sites were breaking. To your list I'd add "adblock," though, because it seems like extension standards are converging on a

The program didn't get far enough to determine definitively if it was worthwhile for fighter applications -- the aircraft wasn't designed for that level of maneuverability. It was about learning what they could do at the limit of

Lots of folks are looking for a sweet spot that combines most of Rust's upsides with a less restrictive model. I'm working on a game in Swift (using Godot bindings) for that reason.

Got it. I didn't intend my original post to be color-specific. But if that's the case, then all the more reason to just bury plastics. (Or burn 'em, I guess, but when you have potentially a whole host of mystery toxic chemica

The link I provided mentions a correction they made (where they undercalculated the EPA's reference dose of decaBDE by a factor of ten), but the study authors maintain the overall conclusion is sound. And I'd rather have zero deca

There’s too much toxic flame retardant in recycled plastic, apparently.[0] So until we can guarantee that recycled plastics don’t end up in contact with food, or the plastic that does doesn’t contain nasty chemicals, it’s probably safer to

Such a fun topic. And then there are some things tunnels can't do, or can only do in the most limited form, like analyse post-stall behavior. You can't very well have your model tumbling free in your flow, it might crash and make

Maybe! Perforce (standard in AAA gamedev) speak is littered with CLs, too.

Since you brought him up: Stalin was also motivated by a truckload of paranoia, though, right? Hard to make rational decisions about who is dissenting if you think they’re all out to get you. The flimsiest accusations related by the least r

Cool project, good luck with it! If I may surface one use case: Several years ago I had to manage a bunch of Macs for CI jobs. The build process (Unreal's UAT) didn't support running more than one build process at a time, and Dock

Signal has "message requests". iMessage doesn't have "message requests", and receives messages in a unique path which goes through the kernel. Signal's message request, notably, also shows me the requester&#x

Love what you're doing, I'm in batch 4! Feedback: That 4x slot looks like it's closed on the end. Can we get an open-ended slot there instead so we can choose to install cards with longer interfaces? That's often a usefu

I believe it tops out at 128, of which 96 can be used as GPU VRAM. Hoping AMD will open the memory floodgates on the next rev.

I've often heard embedded is a nightmare of slapdashery. Any tips for finding shops that do it right?

I'm working on some server-side Swift, and it's feeling very promising. Any plans for a Swift client library?

Good call. Django's admin site functionality was the killer app for me, so if I'm going to hop off Django to something else then I'm going to want to compare that feature closely.

Sorry, which one does your PC have? But yeah, the Nvidia situation is a bummer. Hopefully NVK will do for Nvidia users what the open source amdgpu driver did for AMD users.
