Lucky you, most of my peers in college had no formal programming experience from hs coming in. I did, but we barely even grazed oop, and I come from a pretty decent highschool. Be careful with anecdotes, your personal experience doesn'

Speak for yourself, 24fps looks super jerky to me. I just get used to it since I don't have to control it (not to discredit your comment, what you said is accurate)

[didn't read the article yet] I can't help but think that's like asking if yoga is bullshit, and should be called a hobby instead of being considered spiritual. Yoga is yoga, whether you're doing it spiritually or not.

Credit card companies make money every transaction even without interest, so yeah, they would be pushed as hard as they are.

$200 is left for food and medical and clothing, and won't buy you a very healthy diet, at least where I am, which is considered a cheaper place to live. Also that's ignoring, the systematic barriers in the way of doing that. In a

Oh cool, didn't realize color burst was used for that, I skimmed over it in the past and misunderstood its purpose. TIL

Okay, except that in plenty of places being homeless is illegal, mud huts on property you don't own is illegal, you can expect your lifespan to be cut down by more than half, and the level of income inequality in the US is staggering.

Do you know if this has been accounted for with ADHD anxiety and or depression? It has always seemed to me like they represent symptoms rather than the actual cause, especially now that we know serotonin deficiency doesn't cause depres

Also, many people don't realize that Intel doesn't make their manufacturing equipment. They work closely with the companies that do, and provide them research and have exclusive deals, but tsmc and Samsung probably buy the same br

That's problematic thinking, putting more miles on a car wears it out faster. Sunk cost or not, say you drive twice as much because you're an Uber driver, you will now have to perform maintenance and repairs twice as often, give o

It might be worth noting that this seems more to do with why different transistor types are being used (fin-fets, nano tubes, etc) since we really haven't reached the physical limit of "traditional" transistors yet. I'd

Although the question wasn't directed towards me, my problem with raising the minimum wage is that everyone else's wages (for the most part) have been stagnant while inflation continues. It basically pulls the rest of the middle c

Misleading title. "WannaCry ransomware uses one of the exploits released recently by Shadowbrokers in the leaked NSA tools archive" Basically the article says the hackers didn't copy and paste the NSA leak.

I'll start: Reading two books a day is intense, I don't even think I could read a book that fast and I'm in my 20s. This article makes me feel like reading is really undervalued in my generation

It seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I completely agree. Personally I find Arch to suit my needs better than Fedora, but I do recommend Fedora to friends who aren't going to be setting up i3-wm and want access to the AUR. In the la

Yup, I use lxsession and lxrandr. It can be a little strange on a laptop when connecting and disconnecting other displays, but it's only a slight inconvenience. For me the trade off is extremely worth it, because hotkeys flow through m
