There is another aspect: Game engine developers tend to use high-end hardware during development, because they anticipate that next years hardware will be stronger. While there is certainly some truth to it, mostly the effect is not as stro

About 5 years ago, I had this Windows 95 PC laying around and started it to see if it still worked. To my surprise that some old hardware felt very fast for many tasks. That was the moment, I realized that we are doing something wrong today

Where? Do you mean the 2nd or 3rd drawer? In fact, I never managed to open the third drawer.

I like it, but the format for the password was pretty frustrating.

Thanks for sharing. Kinda funny to see a simplistic and technology embracing site like HN 'broken' due to insufficient input sanitization ;-)

I like GIMP. Yes, the user interface has changed a lot over the years, but the underlying principles of how to compose images are still the same. I am no artist, so my requirements might be quite a bit lower than those of the typical Photos

Respectfully, I have to disagree. Yes, the modern Photoshop is miles away from GIMP, but there was a time when the gap wasn't so large. Given how much money was poured into the development of Photoshop, that should wonder nobody. Deve

Well, in my opinion the Arch Linux package manager is fast enough, but that might be influenced the years I was using Gentoo (Portage & Paludis) which aren't even part of his benchmark... Edit: For clarification: I am referring to

Actually, I like working from home better. I have a lot more interaction with my family and feel overall more comfortable. Productivity depends on the task. I think for most things it is higher, but causal communication suffers a lot. Yes,

I am confused. I thought it is the raison d'être of Mozilla to develop a browser. So how does it come that the brand new browser engine they developed is being given away? I mean, even if they need to cut costs, isn't Servo part o

Actually, the commands you listed are more or less the basics, but the magic comes when you learn about the structure of the commands. For example, `2dw` is a typical example. So you start with the number of times you want to do something,

I'm not so sure about that. Yes, I have the hard part of the learning curve behind me, but learning vim actually changed how I write code in a very positive way. Now, I think a lot more in terms of lines and e.g. rogue whitespaces happ

I think on the front of collaborative editing we have too many open (research) questions regarding what the best algorithm for solving 'conflicts' is (OT, CFRD, etc.), so that the actual GUI toolkit doesn't matter so much.
