All true, but I was there too, and having to shut down background programs to run something important sucked. It was bad! It is better now.

That's silly. Even if you set aside that people want computers to do more things at once , the basic act of decoding 4K video is beyond a Sandy Bridge chip without a discrete GPU. The world has passed it by. Sorry that weirdo tech pri

The Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge stuff definitely stayed relevant for a very long time, but we've hit a point where even high-end chips from that generation aren't really wide enough for a lot of users; four cores isn't really

`unknown` is a standard type in TypeScript for "it could be anything and you don't know what it is, so you need to introspect it and assert a type if you want to use it". (As opposed to `any`, which is "it could be anyth

No. A functional epistemological environment requires something much more along the lines of extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and JAQing is an abrogation of the latter duty implied by the former action. "Agreeing t

Conspiracism merits it. JAQing isn't a virtue.

Even if you don't care about that (and you should!), "you can't highlight text [without doing additional work that nobody will do because it wasn't an explicit KPI for them]" is itself really disappointing and bad.

Not really - that's one of the places where I use 3D printing. I've made some odd-shaped SBC cases for one-offs before. I've toyed with building a PC case before, but Fractal came out with the North and did a better job than

FreeCAD does a better job of it than OpenSCAD does, yes. ;) Agreed on all points; the reason why the rules you describe are the way they are make sense to me, and I could use FreeCAD if I had to. But I pay for Fusion because it's worth

There are legal uses of "the internet backbone" that greatly outweigh the illegal ones. Non-KYC money transfer systems do not have such a raison d'etre.

RAL doesn't cost anything to use , as far as I know; like, people just make RAL 6018 filament for printing "Festool Green" stuff and put RAL 6018 on the product spec. They offer some certification stuff for more integrated u

Munsell is similar, yes. RAL is conventionally used for varnishes, powder-coats, and (sometimes) general plastics. I'm not familiar with Munsell's attitudes towards use, though. RAL is notable in being pretty lax about casual use

RAL is copyrighted, but they don't have a pack of legal maniacs chasing you down for using them. For example, Festool's specific green is RAL 6018 (Yellow Green) and you can use it as an interchange standard without paying them.

In industry, it's because it's so low-temperature. The benefits of using it aren't outweighed by the potential failure risks in it in pieces not designed to be repaired. Also, just kinda--it's not well known! You can&#x2
