It using Linux shouldn't be an issue. You could use Wine and Proton to make the difference the same way Valve does. They purposefully hamper the systems though. So even a game like Destiny 2 is running at Medium settings on a datacente

Nah, in gaming communities and the "little-less than tech literate" crowd. View a Reddit thread. Not exactly representative I know, but pretty normie imo.

I agree that all of this info is public anyways - and back in the day I bet you could go to the library and look it all up. But having it blasted out on a public radio program every week is too much for me.

To be clear, no they don't post a mugshot for a traffic stop. I mean that for all traffic stops (or at least, quite a damn few) they will report the full name, and the crime which tends to be speeding or a traffic violation. One degree

My local police department posts mugshots on their Twitter, sends copies to the local newspaper, and types up a detailed report for the local radio station for _every_ _single_ _interaction_. "John Doe was pulled over by X police Satur

Oh this is really impressive. I've always wondered how games were going to solve the last mile of photorealism, and an additional color-grading filter seems like the perfect step. Really impressive work. I think titling it "photor

You should look at GUI via ImGUI if this is an opinion you hold. Immediate mode GUI creation. Very straightforward and just requires an OpenGL context (which can be software of course, so all CPU based if you want). A lot of games use it be

The act of setting limits is incredibly important to a child's development, even more so than what the limits ultimately are.

That is wild to me. In the U.S hicks will still take the fridge. Source: my uncle has five goddamn refrigerators in our garage.

Why does California have to be ideal to build a fab? A fab in California seems like one of the most worthwhile public works projects I’ve heard of in awhile.

Yeah ancient folks were still smart. Engineers and scientists of all sorts still. I think people often give way too much weight to intelligence, and not enough to just tools. Give a dude in 1000 a voltmeter and things get crazy.

A single vote is easily manipulated. Marketing, misinformation, FUD, etc. It's chaotic because people change their minds, quickly.

I’m extremely leftist - have organized for unions for 5 years. I didn’t see what he said that needed denouncement from the boss or something. Maybe a better phrased “thank you for your point of view” than “thank you” if you really wanna be

I would imagine that’s a similar level of correlation with adults as well? Between mental health problems and adult usage that is.

Nah. Easy scapegoat for shitty rubberneckers. “They left him on the computer too long. We restrict johnnys computer use so that won’t happen.” Tech doesn’t create new social problems. It exacerbates existing ones in new ways. Teen mental he

High performing code doesn’t have to be hard to reason about. You wouldn’t say the plan for a safer building is harder to read. People excusing their poorly written code as “highly-optimized” is the oldest cop-out we’ve got as programmers.

Even if it was the straw that broke the camels back, basecamp has effectively shifted the conversation away from “Should the company have a funny names list?” to “Should we be able to talk politics in company spaces?” I think it shows a lot

Why is that every, single article that gets posted on this subject at HN completely ignores the “funny names” list that actually caused this incident. Folks keep acting like it was kids screaming BLM on the company message board and it’s ki

Hyper colors? Not a huge fan of the terminology. Although I feel the same about hyper cubes. Would this include magenta? The example images just seem like fluorescents and such. As a computer graphics person, I’m a little disoriented by the

Money laundering is my favorite curiosity. The amount of resources needed to keep control of something like that would be astronomical. Might happen eventually if governments move to centralized digital currencies though. I think it’s a cri

Sometimes you have to read the docs “But the docs are poorly written” you say “But the docs aren’t maintained well” you say Read the docs. Sometimes it isn’t supposed to be easy. Or fun. Or fit together well. But that’s the job. RTFM is the

I really don’t understand this argument. The reason Google is bringing people back is to have a united culture, which they need because the NYT is naughty? Not following here.
