It is illegal to grow most Apple's you buy from a grocery store. But I get what you mean. No one actually cares where their strawberries came from.

I truly adore physically based rendering. Seeing the concept become adopted in modern video games over the last couple generations has been an absolute joy. I look forward to replaying games and seeing the progression of the field. Just loo

I remember being 2 years old and first banging my head against a VCR. I really wanted to get Toy Story working again. Even if they can't read, a lot of educational games w/ reading can still be interesting. The bright lights and c

They're tending towards more technical subjects, and even within the technical subjects, there's a lot of genuine criticism of poor teaching. In my engineering state school, I've heard of quite a lot of pressure from the admi

It's basic telemetry. This is all FUD. Like, massive FUD. It's a standard disclosure notice for when you collect any telemetry data. It's also opt-in, so it doesn't apply unless you opted in for telemtry. They're no

1. FUD 2. FUD 3. FUD Seriously you add crash reporting to your app and all the idiots who can't read swarm like flies. Reddit and HN actually sell your info, and they're using this for crash reporting. My head hurts so badly.

Lots of non-technical fud. It's actually really funny because you get to see how poor everyone's technical literacy is. They pretend to be ,very, smart. But then claim a bash script part of the build is selling your soul to Russia

LMAO. But reading code is ,hard, especially when you want to contribute to FUD.

Rebar reinforced concrete rusts. Non-reinforced concrete has to be built bigger, but can last a long time. The coliseum is still up - Hoover Dam will also probably last awhile. And that's without much maintenance. Smaller non-reinforce

Proton is implemented via Wine - it's like a collection of software and automatic configuration. You use Wine to implement Windows syscalls. Wine also has DXVK to convert the DirectX calls to Vulkan ones. So it's all the same stuf

I got a bit excited until I read about the lack of Linux driver support - which makes sense. Could probably cobble together what you need since the parts seem pretty standard here, but that's a little more work than I was hoping. This

People have been beating this drum for decades. The last time it got big, my state (Illinois) began requiring such a class. It's been required since and people think it doesn't exist. I wonder if such courses have quantum properti

Yup. I love this style of using code to create a "paragraph" of code with a section heading. You don't always want to separate out a function, but you do want the advantage of "titling" a section of code.

I'm hilariously reminded of the episode of Rick and Morty where Morty flips the wrong light-switch, killing a room full of cryogencially frozen people.

I’ve liked the interpretation that high luck isn’t necessarily good. It just means highly improbable events happen to you more likely...

The main advantage of new technology is interactivity. Dynamic illumination is _dynamic_ instead of statically baked. That has obvious environmental advantages. Comments like yours that pixel peep screenshots miss the point. These limitatio

With full auctions and adults going at it, Monopoly is brutal, mean and not really fun for kids. As a kid I would get knocked out super quick by my uncle, who would then typically have a 6 hour non-stop Monopoly throwdown with my mother aft

Is this because they tend to heat up when you use a GL context? And the UI toolkits composite to the screen less often? I'm not a mobile developer so this is all new to me. Thanks for the info.
