I find death in roguelikes too punishing and unfair, it diminishes that effect for me greatly. I'll never be able to feel intensity for it because I don't feel like I ever manage to accomplish anything worth saving before I die in

It's interesting, for me minecraft is one of the few games that gives me a feeling of intensity, I go spelunking all night because I can't resist the temptation of more diamonds though, the punishment for death is fair but harsh e

People around here might appreciate New Game and the sequel too. I think most of the time they fall squarely within this genre.

It's Yuru Camp, not yuri camp, that's... something else, but it's definitely a great relaxing show with seriously impressive background art and real locations.

That's a great thing to say but how do you do the enforcement like that? Do you expect the police to just know who's homeless? Take their word for it? Do you have them hand out citations and take it up in court? I can't see a

Do you say the same about people who write open source software? This is basically open source music, CC licensed. Just like in the software world, sometimes experimentation and sharing takes priority, not always, but it still has its place

Okay but how many people run iPads with keyboard attachments yet don't have a desktop or laptop that would be better for the purpose anyways? I'd wager few. If that market were larger it would be catered to.

That may make sense if you're thinking about short term cash, but for longer term investments it still holds up.

QQQ is tech heavy, if you want more general consider SPY or for oil consider XLE or VDE.

I'm still unclear on why SumatraPDF bothered implementing this anti-user copy prevention feature, it's really annoying to have to actually break out separate tooling to strip the flags on datasheets and schematics.

I'm not referring to any sort of future prediction, those people can switch to GPU encoding of video right now and enjoy better performance. https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support...

The person above also pointed out that things like machine learning are often better done on a GPU anyways. Certainly if you offload your video encoding to your GPU it does change the value proposition of that entirely.

by arsome 7y ago
Depends on your use case but the most recent GPU encoders are pretty solid actually. Used to be that they were awful for quality, but more recently they seem to have vastly improved.

TitaniumBackup does the job quite nicely if you're rooted, transferred codes through 4+ phones so far.

With quarantine you're preventing the spread of disease which is a general harm to others, with this you're preventing the spread of... your own 2FA codes, which only hurts yourself, if that. Sorry, but I don't think this ana

I've always found this one a bit peculiar - usually debugging is about looking at something on a simpler, lower level than implementation. Rather than looking at a whole set of logic, let's step through it piece by piece, look at

The biggest problem as a desktop app developer is that all the good UI libraries are barely maintained, obscure, questionably licensed or have limited 3rd party compatibility meaning you have to build too much from scratch yourself. This is

I've actually done the opposite in a way - trying to ween myself from most social media in favor of more relaxing forms of entertainment. More in the direction of video games or YouTube science/engineering videos than traditional

This is my exact approach - get familiar with the vague concepts and where you might use them, having lots and lots of these concepts to dig through in your head can be extremely helpful - then go back and learn in detail when it seems like

For Ikea, simply open website, find product, look at aisle number, walk to aisle in warehouse. Done. They also have a consistent selection of products available. If you've done the tour in the past year, chances are you already know th

I do compare for the same grades of meat, perhaps it's a US vs Canada difference, but I've found this to consistently be the case.

A word of warning, I've frequently found Costco meats are far more expensive than at my local grocer, often on the order of 50-100% on sale items. The design of the stores is also horrific, designed to make you maximize browsing time.

The thing about store brands like No Name (Loblaw), Compliments (Sobeys), Great Value (Walmart) etc is that they get free access to shelf space, enjoy higher margins from the store and lower requirements for marketing by simply being the ch

It's still absolutely trivial to dump these though. Especially in the case of Chrome. iStealer is a classic script kiddie tool designed to exploit this.

Arudino isn't great as a platform for industrial work anyways - most industrial applications will spin their own boards or run higher end PLCs that have more rugged designs and protections built in for industrial environments. Arudino
