That's a neat website, but it did confuse me for a moment. It's titled itself "metric time", but seems to be the same idea as detailed on the "Decimal time" Wikipedia article - https://en.wikipedia.o

Rust was a language that I firmly embraced for my own projects for about 2 years, then I eventually came to the conclusion that the benefits it gave me weren't really that useful for the things I was working on, and I switched away to

And despite how bullish everyone seems to be on LLMs, I suspect we'll see those very same LLM features get ripped out within 5 years or so.

Still, even when building the decompiled source yourself it gets its assets by stripping them from the copy of the ROM we all legally dumped from our personalized copies of the cartridge.

Every so often this gets recommended again, and every time it does I can't help but not recommend it. Not because the content isn't very good, it's quite informative, but it's incomplete, and cuts off just as things are

I'm not surprised that's the case. For probably 15 years Ubuntu was the Linux distro for a variety of reasons, most simply because it was the most user friendly. Desktop Linux in the old days was a mess of different layers from

My girlfriend is a fan of the old point-and-click Nancy Drew games. Nearly all of them are sold on Steam, and while some work fine, others won't even launch or have immediate breaking issues. We discovered that the games run better (gr

This is my one complaint as well. I really like the idea of this website, and it seems to be made well! I tried out Star Trek TNG, and regardless of which I picked, I was always comparing against the same episode on the right side (Season 4

I don't strictly disagree with that as a concept, as diversifying themselves from being Firefox and Firefox alone is a sound business strategy. Unfortunately, while they have come up with some neat ideas (I was a fan of Firefox Send) t

I enjoyed your story, but I do want to make one correction. The upcoming second part to the remake is called "Rebirth", not Afterbirth. I think that would be a very different game indeed.

Let me turn it around, why should Apple be forced to open it up? I don't really quite understand why iMessage is being treated as some almighty program that those who don't have it are left feeling inferior. It's just about t

It's completely behind the scenes now. If you have Steam on Linux, there's a setting you enable to allow the "Proton" compatibility layer (Valve's fork of Wine), and all Windows games appear in your library list. Th

I use Teams fairly regularly in Firefox on Linux. Everything seems to work completely fine, with the exception of 1-on-1 calls. You can't send them, you can't receive them, and you can't even see when someone is calling you u

While I do have fond memories of this aesthetic (although more for old Mac OS X than Windows), and do prefer it over the flat design, I'm curious what will come next. Looking at this site's other pages, it seems that it's abo
