I think the western world very much revolves around: * The internet * Linux servers * Automation I get your point, but it falls on deaf ears to me since most people don’t feel the benefits until some passionate nerd makes something that scr

DX12 is less and less the default, most gamedev that I’ve seen is surrounding Vulkan now. DX12 worked decently better than openGL before, and all the gamedevs had windows, and it was required for xbox… but now those things are less and less

I’ll keep repeating it: the more people vote with their wallet, the more game companies will deploy Linux - including the anticheat. EAC has the support for Linux, you just have to enable it as a developer. I know this, I worked on games th

I agree, but it sort of doesnt change anything. You buy Windows as a product, and those subsystems are so spidered in that turning them off is not possible, and if it even was possible it would have some impact. You buy Windows for game

not 100x. 10% is the number I ordinarily see, counting for members of staff and adequate DR systems. If we had paid our IT teams half of what we pay a cloud provider, we would have had better internal processes. Instead we starved them and

No, but if you continue reading the comment, you’ll read why I believe that’s not the case..

I think many people would be justified in making the argument that bluetooth has existed for at least 20 years and thus is the established battle tested protocol.

by dijit 10mo ago
yes, but was it faster than Linux ?
941.
by dijit 10mo ago
Glib, and not true. Otherwise Windows could make WSL (1) faster than Linux, but they can’t because they don’t have the similar enough underlying operating system paradigms. I could give examples, but I think just comparing native python p

It comes up enough that I am comfortable saying that it feels like “everyone” to the OpenBSD devs. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25950845 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45798439 https:/&#

I doubt it. There’s three possibilities. 1) Intel is optimising for common cases inside the most dominant desktop operating system.. this is like apple having really good floating point in their cpu’s that makes javascript not suck for perf

by dijit 10mo ago
And everyone got mad at OpenBSD for refusing to develop bluetooth. It’s a messy standard and we shouldn’t be surprised that the race to the bottom has left some major gaps.. though Sony WH1000’s are premium tier hardware and they have no re

even if they suffer societal consequences; its also still easy not to put it to mind and suffer anxiety from it. This makes you susceptible to populism though. I know this because I am from an impoverished family.

> The market has exploded in the 12 years between UT2004 and The Division. Yes, and you can’t assert that it didn’t happen at least in part due to efforts to make games more accessible. You couldn’t release a game like UT2004 today with
947.
by dijit 10mo ago
Thats a cynical take. The truth is that UT2004 sold 234,451 units over its life according to Wikipedia. The Division sold over 10,000,000 copies in the first weekend. The requirements change drastically when you have a larger audience.

Yeah, we actually discussed doing something like that. That's what GTA5 did (though, they marked you with a dunce cap)... .. even though it's a good idea (and we nearly implemented it actually), there's probably a reason that
949.
by dijit 10mo ago
Yeah, we do those things. 1) they’re not foolproof 2) there is a delay in aggregating the data this has annoying effects when the game has a trial period/goes on sale/has lots of cheap CD keys floating around. 3) if you weren’t de

What are you even talking about? The parent is right. I'm quite literally the first person to bash Windows for being a shitty operating system, but the requirement for signed modules puts a massive barrier to entry for cheaters, where

I used to work for Ubisoft, though not on Siege- I have met and had detailed conversations with their lead architect though; truthfully I remember little of those conversations. Regarding the second group and access to source code; this is

I think that they make the startup so horrible that people are more likely to leave it running.

I worked in e-commerce SaaS in 2011~ and this was true then but I find it less true these days. Are you sure that you’re not the driving force behind those metrics; or that you’re not self-selecting for like-minded individuals? I find it

Agreed. SQL Server is of equally high quality. We just have postgres in the open source world (which is truly exceptional) so our expectations are higher. I am the first to hate on Microsoft, their OS is a dumpster fire that I feel is force

I love all of this. I’ve never been brave enough to modify my laptops beyond the one time I sprayed a new (hard) topcoat on an Acer Aspire 5520g… which turned it from a flimsy piece of garbage into a slightly less flimsy piece of garbage. I

Yes, but you are unlikely to have your PUK code (its on the card you got your sim with) if you have also lost the sim. Its a much more losable bit of plastic, and without it (or a contract) why would an operator give you the PUK code for

by dijit 10mo ago
If you’re on a contract that can work. If it’s a PAYG sim card then you’re out of luck without the PUK code, which, if you’ve lost the sim then you have most assuredly lost (or never had). PAYG is a lot more common in parts of western Europ
