I tried playing sirtet for a while. That was pretty interesting. My brain kept wanting to orient the pieces as if I was playing Tetris leading me to occasionally do the opposite of what I was intending to do and dig myself into a hole both

I doubt this is going to be a popular opinion, but I honestly think Tetris 1v1 just isn't that interesting of a game. The interaction between players is pretty damn boring. In guideline 1v1 a lot of very high level games are decided by

The pricing issue is complicated because you can't consider the price of the Apple CPU on its own. However, you can get a Mac with 16 GiB of RAM, 256 GiB of SSD storage, and 10 cores of Apple M4 for $600. Even if you use the least char

I have a somewhat contrarian opinion. I think if you're making a clone of Tetris you should actually take design cues from the somewhat more obscure Tetris the Grand Master series instead of the "guideline" or NES Tetris rule

The thing is, "Apple Silicon" computers are very fast. They are, obviously, not the fastest computers you can possibly buy, but rather than monetize fast CPU cores Apple mainly monetizes SSD and RAM and does minimal segmentation o

The point is that if you run -x you will definitely see plenty of output leading up to the failure. It is true that if the command that fails outputs nothing to stderr, then this may still lead to confusing outcomes, but you will not be sta

I don't agree that this is evidence of why we should use one term over the other. If you asked an uninformed person what it meant for software to be "free" they would undoubtedly and reasonably assume it meant free of charge.

I think overall quality with Gemini 2.5 is not much better than Gemini 2 in my experience. Gemini 2 was already really good, but just like Claude 3.7, Gemini 2.5 goes some steps forward and some steps backwards. It sometimes generates some

As a long-time Linux user, it's also a pretty damn buggy area of Linux, although I have been much more fortunate with getting hardware that works decently enough with sleep on Linux over the years than some people have. The main benefi

As far as I know, the camera barely works on any device, including snapdragon 845 phones. Now I'm not saying the snapdragon 845 is unusable as a daily driver, but it is getting a bit long in the tooth, especially since the majority of

Well, I don't have one, so I can't say with great certainty. I did, however, have a Pinephone Pro, and the experience wasn't great for a few different reasons. The Librem 5 is apparently faster, but it seems like it's no

Hey, I didn't say you should trust other Google projects. The Google Graveyard meme should be enough evidence of that.

Well, to be fair, postmarketOS isn't Android. For Android I've had tons of custom ROMs with no obvious hardware issues, mostly CyanogenMod variants, over the years. postmarketOS, though, tries to run stock Linux. It's a diffe

My only fear with Swift is Apple. The language itself seems largely fine, very interesting even, which makes me feel deeply conflicted. While Apple has been big on pushing multi-platform Swift right now and distancing itself a bit from the

I can explain a lot of the disconnect: I simply don't believe you. For one thing, because the decrease in CSA over time is so well-known that I am pretty sure one of the PDFs I have saved refers to it as having been "common knowle
