I really liked that game for it's many quirks, and the track editor obviously. The briefly mentioned Restunts sounds interesting, I'll have to check if it's just a port to C or whether they already extended the game and made

My parents evolve backwards when it comes to computer literacy. It seems they especially unlearn all the windows 8+ changes, since a lot of UI philosophy stayed unchanged from 95 to the end of the XP era, so that appears to be burned into t

Nah, I've often found the opposite to be true. Granted, it requires proper commit messages and code comments, but I've had my fair share of "oooh I see" moments when I encountered nonsensical crazy code. Sometimes it rea

Isn't there strong beef between the remaining OO maintainers and the LO folks? It basically prevented LO from just being merged back into OO, instead we got that years-long confusion where non-tech people would download the horribly ou

Same here. If you need it occasionally for personal use it's fine. But as soon as you need to swap documents with other people on a regular basis it just doesn't work, as there is just a bazillion ways in which it will not render

Because by that point the tcp session is already broken.

The usability issues are mostly "I'm used to X, so I don't like Y". I've started out on dos, then went from win3.11 to XP/7 and switched to Linux fully when 8 came out. They all suck in their own ways, but nowa

Granted, fortunately lots of that book is now obsolete and mostly just good for laughs about the bad old times. And most of the predictions it had about future innovation never turned out that way either.

I see this far in the future, and a slow process. I already know a few people with big enough solar setups to be self sustaining even in winter with big battery packs, but they still connect to the grid "just in case", which hones

I never really got these arguments. It doesn't have to be that way, does it? I already pay a monthly base fee for electricity and then per kwh on top of that. So I consider the base fee as what is being used to maintain the grid. It&#x

At least in the guest room I think you might want that, people have widely varying preferences for sleep temp, but I feel similar about the other rooms. This is why the "reset on no motion" was important to me, so my mom won'

For me the number one priority is to make the "smartness" additional, and not change how I interact with my home in general. This is mostly to satisfy the SO-acceptance factor and also not to confuse visitors, especially elderly l

Same. They asked for proof that I bought it, I sent the PayPal transaction ID and then they went like "lol we don't actually have any records from back then." I made a hacked version of the old launcher after that and now a c

by iforgotpassword 2y ago
How last minute was this? This wasn't exactly socket 7 Days anymore, so I guess you still needed to change quite a bit of "stuff" to make this work, for example the Nvidia chip as it was the south bridge iirc. Did any of thes

You have to balance those two, because the only server that's 100% secure is the one that's powered off. Everyone does that differently. I don't see sshd with key-only auth as dangerous, but password login makes me uncomforta

Yes, I wanted to suggest the same. I modified some old tools I wrote 15 years ago to do that a while ago. Not because I was aware of any vulnerability, but because a few places still used char* and I figured this would basically make it nev

We got a magic eye book when I was maybe 6 - some time early elementary school. After learning how to do it, and also trying it by crossing my eyes to see an "inverted" image, I started doing it whenever I saw some repeating patte

by iforgotpassword 2y ago
You can easily generate inverted ones that require crossing your eyes to appear properly, but they don't look as nice since they pop out instead of going into the screen/book.

But then you can already use tpm as a business. No need to force it upon end users.

I don't care about the blocking, as has been commented here it's trivial to circumvent. Actually I think the work of the cuii is beneficial, now I have a nice up to date list of streaming platforms to pick from. :)

Final problem being, as usual, if your product is already running and not a complete shit show, it will take some time to see how you messed up, maybe even when the ceo/decision maker already moved on to another company, so it's s

Yeah that makes sense, those two have been around for quite a while I guess.

Huh? Can you name any game that requires AVX512? I haven't encountered any so far.

It's what the profiling hinted at at least, but I don't know how much overhead that tool adds per function call, so if you profile a lot of very small/fast functions you basically just measure which function gets called most.

Don't know what it's like today, but more ram always means more power usage, so maybe makes sense for people who work on battery frequently... Otoh, my main rig is also on 16gb today and I never run into issues. But then again I d
