My grandma, she's 90 something, and you can bet she's got more hours on Candy Crush than a professional eSports player has on their MOBAS or FPS. Companies that think games are only for young people are leaving a lot of money on t

I love my T440p, and as a Linux machine it's great. But full disclosure, it's not perfect, a few drawbacks to be aware of: * Batteries can be hard to find, and they last 6 hours at most. * No USB-C docking capabilities (but you ca

I really felt this story as someone how had to abandon coffeescript like 8 years ago in a similar fashion. The syntax was easy, simple, and enoyiable. But at the end of the day, when you implement something like react or angular in real pro

I would bet on GPU driver issues. Some cards without the right driver can force CPU rendering making it extremely slow

I think here a more direct competitor to the E3 role would be the "Nintendo Direct" streams or Sony's State of Play. BlizzCon it's own can of worms, after the Diablo Immortal meme, and all the scandals, organizing that e

I think the E3 made a lot of sense in the time when most game news were trough magazines... but now, official channels from developers and console makers have an enormous reach so they don't have pressure to follow an external calenda

Sadly vendor lock it's a hard pill to swallow by design, making the switch harder. Most people already have a lot of apps purchased, exclusive messaging apps, or workflows that are too embedded into a platform.

Yes a no. A Sandy bridge computer (something like a 2500k i5) it's still perfectly capable to run as a home computer (and even light game, or pro tasks). And if you add a light distro to the mix and a GPU, it's even better than a

I think paid it's the wrong word, but I agree that at least they should offer drivers for the hardware you own. Like if I get an AMD card, they provide drivers for Linux, and windows. At least they should for devices they don't pl

I wonder if with new AIs with computer vision and things like ChatGPT, this type of project can be refactor in what they originally show in the ad concept [1] https://youtu.be/o-qjhU6PB5U

Projectors sometimes create as a side effect a soft anti-aliasing thanks to the blurriness of the reflection, that makes them look a lot less pixelated than their native resolution, similar to a CRT. It's an optical illusion that if yo

I think people who hate PHP, forgot how painful it was to develop server side apps before PHP. I think one of the greatest legacy of PHP was brining "Serverless" hosting to the masses, where you only focus on the "upload&quot

Oh yes, KeepPassXC it's a nice upgrade. The main reason why I recommend regular Keepass, it's because it's usually whitelisted in company owned equipments (with something like Microsoft Endpoint Software Center), so even if y

You can use KeePass for that too, you can even customize the script to press (password)(enter) with a single shortcut.

The 1st comment (from 10 years ago) broke my heart "or you can just "Sort by oldest" in Google Reader." I miss the internet from back then, just chronological feeds. I think the dead of google reader was a huge the point

What do you think of using Godot for non game apps? Like learning apps for kids,simulations, or data visualization for business with a lot of interaction?

I use to be anti AdBlock, as a lot of the creators I follow get food over the table thanks to ads... But man, things got out of control, the industry have gone so hostile, where a typical site went from 30% ads 70% content to the inverse an

I'm kinda scared by this tendency, as most dev already see front end development as just supporting chrome and safari, instead of a standard. The fact me that most other browsers like edge or brave are WebKit or chromium reskins doesn

That's like calling Schwarzenegger a GYM owner... I mean yeah it's not a lie, but it's underselling a lot.

I know the whole Oculus / Quest has a reputation for being a gimmick, but those talks were the ones that inspire me to get a quest 2 in the first place, and I love that device, It's far from perfect and requires a lot of 3rd party

I will say do it if your confortable with something like arch or Gentoo but with less documentation on what to do when something goes wrong. Right now it's a little bit raw, don't take me wrong the progress so far it's amazin

Less Physical Distance should create less latency, plus an optimized profile for one list of model of banks vs the diversity in the modula industry with different clock speeds and latencies.

Yeah, coke can get expensive. I recommend you try cold brew tea, it's almost as refreshing as soda in hot days. You only leave water with tea in the refrigerator at night and enjoy it the next day.

I'll say the death of JQuery rather than being replaced by React or Angular, was more a result of standardization of ECMAScript and the progress of native APIs in browsers. Before JQuery creating your own JS for a weird IE6 bug was a n

I remember watching the episode "Faith" from Supernatural in TV with an amazing usage of "Don't fear the reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult (the cowbell one), and when trying to searching the episode in streaming platforms
