I've had this exact problem attending most concerts (only classical music seems mostly fine). The music sounds very distorted (like a damaged speaker or an audio recording with heavy clipping) and after a while it gets physically painf

I imagine open-sourcing something that's both cloud-based and tightly integrated into the operating system would require a complete rewrite.

To solve this, they have an upgrade you can get called "Windows 10 Pro for Workstations". Costs a little over $300. Quoting the blog post on windows.com: "You will see for Windows 10 Pro for Workstations productivity and ente

Awesome! Any idea how well it deals with system updates? Last time I used a script to remove some of the crapware (OneDrive, games, office installers, etc) it all came back after a larger feature update.

I've been using VSCode for C# daily for a year or two. I'm considering switching to a non-electron editor because of how slow and sluggish it is, including IntelliSense, refactoring, syntax highlighting and the latency and frame r

In (recent) games made with Unity, a lot of workloads like scheduling the GPU and such are offloaded to separate threads with (almost) no developer intervention. Future games will extensively utilize the job system which provides safe and e

I'm assuming there wasn't enough written agreement for either side to sue the other. Couldn't it be the other way around, though? If the client thinks this is unfair, they can go ahead and sue the developer. (Or use an NDA ne

As a counterpoint, I find userstyles far less convenient than extensions. In my experience, they are more difficult to install, they work less often and break more easily (because of the "put this thing I hacked together on the interne

I've looked it up for you and found this one - a bit dated but it shouldn't matter much on an introductory level and it seems to have the concepts presented in the right order (or maybe that's just how I'd do it). https

Rtx really shines when applied to a low-fidelity game like Q2. The difference isn't as profound in modern titles where a plethora of lighting techniques and tricks approximates physical lighting closely, though. I wonder if in the end

I liked the way mouth movement was captured in LA Noire. It was a bit low-res, but looked way more organic than any other technique I've seen. I'm guessing the production is complicated and the cost is prohibitory though.
