I don't think anyone sees them as competitors, in fact that's exactly my point. I think the Vulkan/Mantle/Metal developers all had the same idea.

Does anybody know why lxd is shipped via snaps? It's kind of confusing, because it seems like snap should be built on top of lxd. If you're running a container inside of lxd inside of snap, does that mean it's two layers of s

Metal predates Vulkan by over a year. Vulkan probably wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for Metal.

To explain the cavalier attitude expressed by people with symptoms: the “CES Flu” is a real thing. I’ve gone 11 years in a row now, and either me or my brother usually catches it every year. Something about thousands of international visito

Tony and Alba’s in Silicon Valley is still around, too! The first time I read this I went with a couple of nerdy friends, and we kept asking their staff about their computer system. Eventually after confusing enough of the staff we spoke to

My particular NUC (the NUC8i7HVK) is precisely the one targeted by the HaC Mini project, so everything worked really great out of the box. That wasn’t the case a few months ago though, when graphics acceleration, sleep, and even USB didn’t

Anecdotally, I felt like 4 years at a university was not enough time to really grasp the college experience. Also maybe a lot of American students aren’t aware of this, but there are many “needs based” government scholarships out there th

If anyone has an Intel NUC that they were thinking of turning into a hackintosh, there’s a really great guide/set of documentation out there for a project called HaC Mini[1] which is based on OpenCore. This was my first exposure to Ope

First thing I saw is that the website didn’t work at all without JavaScript. Then after enabling JavaScript I realized why: https://twitter.com/buzzert/status/1251314195976425473

If anyone is interested in this sort of thing, I would highly recommend checking out the documentary Rise of the Centaur. It’s about a company that I previously hadn’t heard of who was making an x86 compatible CPU based in Austin TX. They s

In my personal experience, Las Vegas also happens to be one of the nerdiest cities in America. The Luxor hotel and casino, one of the biggest and oldest on the strip, is also one of the first major establishments to host e-sports events. I’

This seems like something everybody wants but I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet. What are some of the (assumingly non-technical) challenges in such an enterprise?

Can you give an example where JavaScript would “enhance the presentation of the document”? You mean like scroll-jacking? Some script that prevents me from copying and pasting? Something that loads images later for some reason and shifts eve

I completely agree. In an environment where everyone was just copying the iPhone UI, some of the design ideas that were coming out of Microsoft were really refreshing and exciting. There was really nothing else like it (and nothing like it

Looks great, but please make sure your site has at least basic functionality with JavaScript disabled (right now it loads just an empty page). This is really important for your users who use screen readers (for the blind), folks with older

-0 can be useful for animation libraries that do implicit animation (not sure about JS, but I have used this with Apple’s CoreAnimation). For example, rotating 180° from 180° to 0°. How do you control which direction the animation happens?

Similar to this scenario is Neal Stephenson's Seveneves. Without giving too much of the story away, it's a great sci-fi novel that covers some post-apocalyptic topics, one of which includes a huge regression in PC performance/
