Because time grows on trees... To start a business you need to invest a lot of time (and money), which most people simply don’t have. I have a regular job and no children, and there are so many things I’d love to do but simply don’t have th

Second this and at the same time don’t. The watch is great, it’s the closest to Pebble I’ve gotten. It also has features that I wanted out of my Pebble, like sleep tracking. The battery life is also fantastic and closer to 14 days for me. B

Given the amount of gang violence and killings going on there, I really don’t think Surrey is the great example to pull out against the RCMP.

Honestly quite good. Like Alupis mentioned, X-Plane might have a slightly different target audience than FS 2020. That being said, X-Plane 11 is also almost 4 years old now and I'd hope a sim released in 2020 beats it graphically. We r

It pains me to say, but I would not recommend an AMD card at the moment, at least if you plan on running Vulkan on Windows. The problem is with add-ons, they still run under OpenGL (because that's what the SDK provides and by now there

Hah, I’d love to see that, although I’m also a developer on X-Plane and therefore biased. If anyone at Anandtech wants some help with setting that up, they can reach me at [username] at x-plane.com. X-Plane is indeed super scriptable, which

The problem with bowls is that cats love love love running water. Stale water is super gross for them, so they’ll only drink out of it if there is no other option. Our cat refuses to drink from anything but her fountain.

In Canada we have both a slab of 4 sticks, but also 4 individual sticks in a cardboard box. I like that one a lot, since a stick of butter is too little and a slab the size of 4 sticks is too much. 4 sticks in one pack is perfect. As a side

> It's unlikely that an airliner can maintain altitude on one engine, so the risk is high that once a problem occurs, things can go bad fast. Ditching 300 passengers in the open ocean guarantees fatalities. This is a super misleadin

Is “quite okay perf” really the goal post though? Using applications is what makes a computer useful. It’s bad enough that applications these days are terribly slow and inefficient to begin with, I don’t want even more unnecessary slow down

There are a lot of such relics in aviation, for example distance is measured in nautical miles, speed in knots and the uniforms and ranks are also very much like their naval counter parts.

LinkedIn keeps suggesting me my mother who passed away 4 years ago. Every week, without fail, I get an email telling me that I should totally connect with her. It’s highly annoying and no matter what I do to my email preferences, I keep get

This is exactly how the Airbus fly-by-wire system works as well. Two software stacks running on two separate hardware configs get bundled together in a single box. Then they take three of those systems and feed them from different redundant

The counter party is set when you sell the put contract. When you set up a put contract, your broker will find a counter party (or none at all). To incetivice the counter party you pay them a premium, which they get to keep no matter what h

Until the OP mentioned Perforce, I was 100% sure they were a co-worker of mine. I also work on a 20+ year old project, mainly on the core graphics/game engine. It’s mainly used to power a single game franchise, although I’d say that an

The thing is, if you are outside the norm, you are raising suspicion. Using this kinda setup will prevent you from flying under the radar, instead, you are painting a nice target on your back. This is gonna bite you in particular if you are

Not only that, but someone living past 30 is probably going to need a bunch more health treatments in life. Sure you can milk the dying cancer patient one time a lot, but that’s that then. A cancer survivor is coming back to pay more money

Of course you can disagree with that! I have written great amounts of all sorts of projects in text editors instead of an IDE. And yes, text editors come in different flavours. VS Code/Sublime Text isn’t the same as Notepad. That being

The answer is “not applicable” to all of these. The word clock is unit less, just ticking up each sample. It’s not actually a clock in the normal sense, there is no leap years or anything in it. It’s used to synchronize devices. Granted, th

Our game actually ships on Windows, macOS and Linux (as well as the two dominant mobile OSs), so I dabble in all of those platforms. The Linux OpenGL performance is indeed better than on Windows, but unfortunately it makes up only a super s

I work on game performance (or rather, I work on the underlying engines with an eye on performance) and that is the biggest reason why my computer has an Intel CPU. I would love the killing power of an Zen 2 machine, the compile time improv

Not Fork, but I just love Sublime Merge. It runs natively on all major OSs and is insanely fast. Plus I can’t go back from that search function, it’s just too good. Might be worth a try?

It should be noted that for the Air Show, the Airbus had most of it’s software safety features disabled and on top of that, the pilots flying the plane actually didn’t know the airport they were performing at. The latter is a major red flag
