Much to my chagrin, modern games don't focus on high frame rates. 30 fps is the new standard, 60 fps if you're lucky, most PC ports of console games are locked to 30/60hz and require physics-borking hacks to lift the limit,

Ludicrous speed is good, the "hold down a button to temporarily run a tiny bit faster until your stamina bar runs out" mechanic is what sucks.

But many don't see it that way. They don't think "I wish I was a woman" or "I should have been a woman." They think "I am a woman."

There are any number of ways to deanonymize users once javascript is running, not to mention the greater possibility of escaping the sandbox. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario. I know they're trying to ser

At which point CPS intervenes. The other piece of the puzzle would be high quality orphanages, operated with expectation that the chidren will not be adopted, instead dedicated to providing the best possible environment for development. Our

You already can make your account private to only your friends on most of these services. I guess giving up the attention isn't worth it for some of these people.

What about inverting the status quo and deducting UBI for each child you have (with a grandfather clause of course)? The problem would solve itself in a few generations. You've gotta work and plan if you want to have kids. If you wan

I was trying not to ruffle feathers, but that's what I was getting at. I was quite liberal as a teenager but even I could tell that history/social studies was mostly used as an opportunity to indoctrinate. The one teacher I had th

In American schools an overwhelming amount of time is spent teaching about the sins of our country and other white people. Slavery, Jim Crow laws, the genocide of Native Americans. In a unit on WWII, a week would be spent on the entire war,

Right hand on mouse, left hand on WASD. The spacebar is always easy to hit your thumb, but you have to move your right hand away the mouse to hit Page Down. Plus it mixes well with Vimperator-like extensions, to the point that I can do 90%

Good point. It's times like these I wish there was proper separation between the "hyperlinked documents and dumb form-based UIs" web and the "jerry rigged universal app runtime" web. EDIT: But if it were an option o

Even if everything is cached, there is an annoying delay while the tab is reconstructed and the server is pinged. Even for something as trivial as a directly viewing a single image. That's my main pain point (I really do think about fr

I'm well aware. I'm saying that the tab should appear to close but persist in the background for a short period of time so that I can Ctrl-Shift-T and get my untouched context back.

I think Chrome does this as well. The real problem is that it doesn't seem to work with dynamically created forms, and web devs ruined everything with client-side templating. But along the same lines, I would like it if browsers wait

Please don't give them ideas. Backspace they can have because it causes real problems with forms, but Space never hurt anybody. No seriously, if any Chrome devs are reading this, I will go back to Firefox tomorrow if you break Space.

I'm gonna be majorly pissed if they disable space bar scroll. I use that quite literally constantly while I'm browsing. It is the scrolling method I use 99% of the time. Backspace to go back, OTOH, I was aware of, but I doubt I ev

Really saddened that this was the lowest ranked comment, as I have an affection for classic MS Paint.

The page containing address zero (NULL) is almost always unmapped in environments with virtual memory, specifically to catch NULL pointer dereferences. That's not the source of the problem. The problem is that dereferencing a NULL poin

Sounds like a point in favor of going back to gender segegated schools. Let the girls cooperate, and the boys compete, and theoretically everyone will end off better for it.

As in thinking in terms of what assembly you want the compiler to produce, and not trusting it to do so. Whereas people that program in higher level languages tend to think mostly in terms of the language semantics.

Is the guy playing acoustic guitar on the street for tips not the sole creator of his work because some number of people were involved with manufacture of his guitar? Most Vocaloid songs become popular in part because of videos that were an

by animeweedlord 10y ago
The vast majority of popular Vocaloid music is created by the fans themselves, not "Japanese businessmen." In fact, the kneejerk reaction is completely backwards: regular human idols and pop stars are the fake, focus tested machin
