When I'm working on a new change I always create a new branch and (almost) always just work against one commit. I'll just keep amending that commit. I generally work out my tickets so that they are small enough that I don't

"GPUs are notoriously hard to get to work on non-intel" I don't understand this statement... accelerated graphics have no issues working on any x86 system as well as ARM based linux systems (not to mention every cell phone in

I purchased a few games from G2A in the past, but they were always additional copies of games I already owned. The morality of the situation doesn't come into play (for me) if I'm just trying to buy a copy of a game I want to pla

How are they supposed to know the extent of what was stolen without seeing the source code from the offending product? The reality is that a relatively insignificant employee up and left and had a competing product out the door in a very s

Bravo, everyone on the PC side has great options now, but I feel for Mac "Professionals". Sad they just got straddled with the horrendous over priced and under performing Xeon platform. It boggles my mind why Apple would release

Not to mention that intro sequence was breathtaking for the time, especially for a graphic adventure. Lucasarts was hitting on all cylinders back then and DOTT was right there in the middle of it. The game is a work of art. Games as art

I'm curious of the political implications of this situation. You have one side (the anti Huawei side) that is aided by a very unpopular US president and US government institutions that are highly mistrusted. You also have the narrati

The writing is on the wall, Amazon is going to be shipping everything themselves sooner than later. I think this just so that FedEx can focus on more profitable long term opportunities.

This is a bit of an edge case, but I want to be able to use an ANSI friendly font for Telnet BBS'. At the moment, the supported fonts just render garbage. It would be ideal for me to select my own font as I find it unlikely you will

Not sure if I missed something, but I can't add fonts. Is that not possible?

Because they are not as good. The Peloton bike uses earth magnets for the resistance so changing levels is seamless. Your bike is directly communicating with the class HUD and you can see how you are performing against your own stats and

I was just referring to the fact that I work from home and put in about 10 hours per day behind a computer. Sedentary life is hard to avoid for programmers even though I'm into athletic activities. The bike allows me to get in a clas

Have you ever tried a spin class at a gym? No one goes in with the expectation that it should be an experience like working with a personal trainer. So many absurd comments here, my head is starting to spin. (pun intended) The whole point

Never thought I'd read exercise bike FUD. So much misinformation here. Thanks for clearing it up.

You made a pretty inflammatory comment: "the market is people rich and lazy enough that don't want do the first half of the work". He's just explaining that there is a market. It's probably an enthusiast market as

Closest gym with spin classes is 30 minutes away. I also tend to do my classes between 11pm and 12pm, something not possible at any gym. The sessions are tightly controlled so I'm getting the workout I need. I don't have to dea

This bike is for people that don't want to go to a gym and/or don't have lots of time to leave the house on a daily basis. You can also finance the bike so the hit isn't so bad. Additionally, there's no extra char

Fair enough, I don't know enough about the performance hit mainframes, ARM and IBM cpu's are taking to say if it's similar to what Intel is experiencing or not. That said, in the consumer space, being (this) vulnerable to Jav

You know you are misrepresenting the issue here. The current batch of vulnerabilities does not affect AMD except for the fact that the OS patches affect all cpus, vulnerable or not. Needing to disable hyperthreading on Intel CPUSs is the c

You are met with hostility because what you are saying is absurd. I don't think any reasonable person wants to bring the web back to what it was in 1999. Lots of things about the web have gotten worse, but same could be said for auto

I feel like I hit the sweet spot in life (I'm 42 now) to be able to appreciate what computers can do for me while not getting trapped in the cycle of dopamine craving content that's pushed on us now. Back in 1987, to play games or

As long as DDG is not traded publicly it will do just fine. Investors would inevitably be screaming for more growth and ultimately force them to comprise their current values.

I worked at Babbages in the early to mid 90's. It was very sad to watch the "Multimedia" revolution happen before my eyes... I wasn't impressed then and the multimedia titles didn't age well, imo. Midi in games ha

The only downside to the NUC is that it maxes out at 32gb of ram. I have the fastest i7 model ($1,600usd) and it's an absolute beast. I offload my compiling and services to it and it handles everything like a champ, gpu stuff notwith
