I'm curious, what if anything is different from node-canvas? Not that I'm complaining in any way, just curious.

Patreon's UI is atrocious! At least for the things I use it for. If all it was was a way to give people a donation and nothing else then it wouldn't matter but many people use it as a way to distribute digital media for $$$ But, t

So you predicted botnets in 1995 and ..... nothing much happened. botnets suck but there wasn't some world crashing event like the person above is predicting for computer controlled cars. All Windows computers didn't shut off on o

How much of that is because of skill as an artist vs just venue and size. In other words what other things would be just as interesting if presented similarly.

I agree with the upgrade hate on this page but ... There are lots exceptions. Instagram is a hosted image service not an app. There is an app, that app is just a front end for the service. Being a service it's no different than any oth

Just thought I'd point out this is bad for Unity and Unreal. Tons of student devs making small games putting their apps on itch.io to share, no longer allowed unless they pony up $99 to Apple.

There are plenty of comparisons online showing for the same price as a Mac you can get a PC that will edit your photos, compress your videos, render your 3D architecture 3x to 4x as fast as the fastest Mac you can buy. If you're a prof

Why would you assume that? The Oculus system software requires you to login. Without it running no apps run, even 3rd party apps.

If you pick "exit" it exits. If you click the close button, it just closes the window but keeps running. You can also set in settings not to run on system startup. Mac has the same behavior.

VR adult games is a growing genre. These are real time games and as the tech gets better they can be much more engaging than a static video. If Apple's device can't run them will that be significant in their adoption? On topic, it

If I came from maybe Flagstaff Arizona I'd think SF has "museums, bars, restaurants, proximity to nature" but having lived in plenty of other places with more museums, bars, restaurants and proximity to nature SF was a let do

That seems like such a ridiculous attitude. I want one just one grocery store! Want less common ingredients? NO! I just want one store! I want just one hardware store! Want some part they don't carry? Sucks to be you. Just one car sto

your post has just as much hubris. you seem to be suggesting the no lockdowns would have no impact on the economy. There are plenty of knowledgable people that believe the impact on the economy would be even worse without lockdowns. I'

There are more options than you've presented. There is also that the employee has perfectly valid and logical reasons for believing the policy isn't evil. In other words, the issue is you see the policies as evil with no possibili

This is really scary to me. I don't like the idea that some apps might be dangerous but I like even less the idea that the government gets to choose for me what apps I can and can't run. It's not just that. It's also arg

Google might be #1 but they're there because people chose them and people can just as easily choose something else. The only company that actually has control of the web is Apple because the 1.5 billion iOS/iPadOS users have no ch

They still have some selection criteria for internships. It's not like they take the first 100 students at random so you're left with the same issue. You have to narrow the selection. That likely includes interviews.

To be blunt, if that's your impression then you don't know how to use photoshop. If you did you'd understand the vast and extreme differences in capabilities. I don't have a good easy analogy to make but the two pieces o

gIMP isn't remotely at the same power as Photoshop. Photoshop's non destructive editing layers, layer effects, smart layers, and 100s of other features are no where to be seen in gIMP. It's almost like comparing Notepad to V

I wish Sony, Dreamworks, Pixar, Disney and other major CG studios would pitch in. They all probably pay 6 or 7 figures a year for licenses for various pro 3D software. I know Blender is not actually at the same level as much of that softwar

Google's flight service is not a booking service. It's flight search. It just redirects you to the airline in question. Personally I love it. It's so much faster than all the competitors. Further it not covered in ads. I just
