Right. PUBG is still immensely popular with hundreds of thousands of steam players daily, and I believe it saw player growth in a recent month.

This is really true for me, great point. There have been days where I had less than 6 hours of sleep and it’s made me very easily bored and disenchanted with the work that I had previously enjoyed. When I’m very well rested, I could probabl

I worked at a job where a coworker of mine would commute 1.25-1.50 hours one way, every day. I’m not sure how he did it. To get to work at 8am, he’d have to wake up at 6am, assuming he gets ready quickly. Then, after leaving at 5, he’d arri

I interpreted the text as saying that the doctors would probe with an electrode to stimulate the areas of the brain (or tumor) that they intended to remove, and use that response to judge whether or not to remove it. They don’t do any damag

Which is odd, in my opinion. Linear algebra is easier than Calculus and would likely be more useful to the average person.

Congressman, did you or did you not just use the word 'pronk' as a number?

This reads like an urban legend. I’ll have to shake the rust off my OChem lab experience and try some synthesis. Kidding of course, but I it makes wonder how easy this would be for an amateur to synthesize. The consequences being making an

In my experience, FF performance is much better in Windows than in Mac or Linux, unfortunately.

I find this unique trait of the Internet tiresome at times. I’d prefer not to feel like I have to include a disclaimer on a question comment to avoid coming off hostile.

I thought of this story a few weeks ago when I was using VS Code on an old machine and couldn't get the linter to work on longer files. Very similar problem and solution.

How likely would open sourcing DirectX be? My understanding is that DirectX is a big reason that game developers prefer not to support other platforms. Wouldn’t that let competing platforms have a better chance? That would be a change I’d l

What are some of the most egregious cost-cutting measures have Apple take in the past? I’m genuinely curious.

I worked on a system where I needed to reach and maintain pressures of 10^-3 tort, and that was hard enough. I can’t imagine having to deal with helium sensitivity.

People in this thread are missing the point. It’s significant in Tetris because he’s playing against people who have been playing since release, an advantage which he didn’t have. The same thing is happening in the Super Smash Bros Melee sc

When Apple finally revealed the first image of the new iPhone during their event, the background on the phones didn’t reveal the notch at all, so I thought they’d done away with it. I wonder if it was on purpose.

In the case of housing, how is having a mortgage worse than renting? You could at least sell the house and have [some of] the money back.

I’m not sure if it’s worse to have the same vulnerability across two versions, or to have two distinct vulnerabilities.

This was me. I studied ChemE, and after working at a startup where I worked a more EE leaning project, I’ve realized this is what I would have liked to study instead. A lot of electronics are much simpler than I ever imagined. I’m in the pr

FWIW, I think the multiple desktops feature in 10 is a good quality of life change. Past that I’d probably agree. Give me any other modern OS before Windows.

I think your fourth point is brilliant. You’d instantly gain context just by looking.
