IIRC Overwatch has a setting that attempts to delay work on a frame until the last possible moment to reduce latency. Edit: I noticed that the thread about the previous article also mentions Overwatch, although only its audio. Curiously, it

There are commercially available cables that do HDMI (and DisplayPort, etc) over fiber. I've seen these from PremiumCord and also some Chinese ones on Amazon. https://www.amazon.de/s?k=premiumcord+hdmi+2.1+kabel

I wonder how much experience the people who downvoted this have with sleeping rough in a city.

It feels like it's making you warm. It doesn't make much sense from calories per dollar perspective though, so not a great example of valid decision making by homeless people.

In reality it's mostly decided by parents, provided they are willing to spend resources to make sure their kids pass the tests.

That's what people say until they are on the shitty end of the deal. The distorted housing markets in Germany are pretty rough for newcomers -- think immigrants (not a minority group, refugee, etc), international students, seasonal wor

Huh, a crypto thread on HN that's not 95% sour grapes? Well, color me surprised. Did a larger part of the usual HN crowd manage to get in at the start of the bull run this time?

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. It would be great if you people tried reading a history book for once. In particular, stories of people who believed these ideas were great and (despite a bunch of red flags) tri

I don't see why not? It just has to be more specific -- chicken breast requires processing, but one is pretty much like another, unlike say, some morning cereal from TV ads. Actually that might be a good heuristic, I don't remembe

If you care about bang for buck at all, Amazon is likely the worst place to do online shopping. Their search is one giant dark pattern. It's good for finding new products if you don't know a good search query (yet). Then you can g

That's not shrinkflation, as you can still go to Germany and get the real product. It might be false advertising or something. A similar thing happens with 3rd world cars doing worse in crash tests than the equivalent US or European mo

Not sure if this was UK specific, but I distinctly remember UK stores full of signs like "7 for the price of 4", "11 for the price of 8", etc, probably to get around this. This was back when UK was still in the EU.

If it compares things that are not comparable, it's worse than nothing though. I'm pretty sure, for example, that what's considered normal bread in the US or the UK is completely different from continental Europe. Not a diffe

It's somewhat easier to measure if you ignore brands and look at commodity prices instead. Whole chicken (price per kg) instead of Big Mac, 100% cocoa instead of some random chocolate bar, etc. Of course, for many (most?) people, that

You can force light themes instead and flip the colors in KWin. This will make text look worse than doing it in CSS, but it's basically free performance-wise. https://github.com/natask/kwin-effect-smart-invert Asi

Bitwarden hangs for multiple seconds every time you unlock the vault. It loses state when you click outside of the popup, alt tab, etc. AFAIK it also leaks the list of all your logins (or rather the sites) through their favicon caching serv

Out of curiosity, how much would you pay for a password manager with decent performance?

Eh, I wouldn't say it works very well if you get a white flash half the time on switching tabs.

For what it's worth, google search understands the /r/ part of the URL as well, e.g. site:reddit.com/r/linux . It still gets the time of posting completely wrong, though... To make this more ergonomic, you can add t

I'm well aware of ETC. It's not going to happen again on Ethereum, with any level of certainty, anyway. So crypto exchanges and similar won't be able to count on that.

Same experience here. I assume it works better in Sweden, but I have no idea why someone with customers outside Sweden would want to use this. One e-shop I use regularly switched to Klarna and the whole checkout experience got much worse. S

How much do they pay for shilling in Piter these days? Do you guys get residential proxies, or just hope Russian IPs aren't banned?
