Unsure why folks are hating on you. I have had hereditary high BP since I was 13. I was underweight at that point. I was never overweight until COVID. COVID launched me from a normal weight into 'obese' territory pretty fast, but

I am usually one to treat EVERYTHING with a very healthy dose of skepticism, but who are any of us to say what is possible or what is not? I'm sure that a century ago, space was just something we would never reach. The US Military rele

I definitely have to agree with this. C was both easy and hard. Easy because the syntax and stdlib were both simple. Hard because you had to learn pointers/memory management. Also, side note: C != C++.

Don't forget about the undocumented "bugs" that developers began to rely upon. I was a win16/win32 developer that later implemented the very APIs I used to build stuff in a certain open source project simply because I u

One could argue that browsers themselves violate the so called "spirit of the law" because they interpret javascript. Browser names/standards/whatever are not codified in law. youtube-dl is no different than Google Chrom

The Raspberry Pi 4 has dual HDMI and it costs $35 for the entire board. Cost is absolutely NOT the factor for an extra port. Extra ports and extended monitor support are literal pennies. Ignoring HDCP for the secondary port, it would cost a

Sounds like class action lawsuit material. Even if they have an arbitration clause, the contract likely ended when the account was suspended. Continuing to charge the card after the fact thus would NOT be covered by arbitration unless the c

Analytics platforms are a dime a dozen, and they all suffer from the same flaws. Either they are too expensive for everyone, or they add too much overhead for everyone. I've actually been debating getting into this space for a while du

On high end hardware it was always playable for me. It just wasn't fun. Police would spawn right next to you if you messed up, for example.

ARC is hardly stillborn. This may surprise you, but Intel has no issue moving GPUs. They are targeting low->mid end, which is an unpopular segment for hardcore gamers, but it is actually the largest segment. The whole reason they didn&#x

I feel like AMD could optimized future architectures around this (very poorly optimized) game and they'd probably have a fantastic GPU.

Just an FYI because I see a particular piece of info repeated everywhere. The fed is NOT out to increase unemployment or lower wages. They are out to combat inflation. Making money more expensive to borrow does this. Corporations may choose

perf/watt/density would be the best way to measure. Frequency should NOT be normalized because x86 chips are designed to be high frequency parts. That is why measuring IPC is meaningless. A cutting edge ARM chip can possibly beat

It's daily cash from the Apple Card. All your daily cash (1-3% cashback from Apple card purchases) automatically lands in the account. Also, Apple does not manage these accounts. Goldman Sachs does. I figured I wouldn't use it, bu

We really need a "GUI First" toolkit. Something where you can design different windows with drag and drop, and quickly/easily attach scripts to each event. IMO VB6 actually did a really great job in that department, but Micro

Apple does add privacy though. The company does not collect and sell your data. Folks regularly read the ToS and freak out, without understanding why the ToS says what it says. Most privacy oriented companies don't care about your data

That is great and all, but what folks are communicating here is quite different. Filibusters in the Senate do not require you to even show up, you can simply claim a filibuster to stop a vote from happening.
