Splitgate captures the feel nicely. Simple, fast, and last I checked free. Very recommended.

UT3 felt sluggish at the time. Both in gameplay and graphics performance. Still much faster than most games today of course.

You may well need to in the Alps. If the satellite map only shows it snow-covered and you need to know what's beneath, hand-drawn it is.

I miss all the easter eggs in software. Not just games, but also in business software. Not sure what would happen if I tried to put one in in his day and age.

Yes, because StackOverflow is horrible to monitor. I work on an open source project at $DAYJOB, and as a team it's much easier dealing with a forum or bug report than tracking SO questions. You can't set up email notifications for

Yes and it was BS in Clean Code too, not a fan. Don't get me wrong, I often apply it myself and refactor code into smaller functions. But readability, understandability and ease of maintenance comes first. Especially juniors will app

Why would someone ever respond to unsolicited spam concerning a legal issue from an unverified contact via a third-party social media network. Even the rather small company I work with would have sent a reminder to everyone to not interact

In the Microsoft world, before Teams they had Skype for Business, aka MS Lync with a slapped on Skype logo. Complete dumpsterfire. The regular Skype was much better and also ran on Linux, but I've come to think Microsoft was only ever

Culture is just as much a part of language as the language itself. There is an air of arrogance in proclaiming that it is merely language barriers that are an issue. But of course it's a convenient argument for big tech forcing MTL on

I knew it! A junior dev recently used CTRL-S in nano and I couldn't believe that it actually worked. They told me it had always been this way and I felt stupid for a bit. Good to know it's a recent addition.

Just because someone put up a fancy website and named it "conventional" doesn't mean it's a convention or that it's a good idea. The main reason this exists is because Angular was doing it to generate their changelo

Unironically Mac OS 7/8/9 felt the best IMHO. Even though there were some missteps (the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_Strip was awful) and 9.x got a bit overloaded towards the end. Mac OS X (and macOS

At some point fiber and a few media converters at the ends will probably be the better choice. The connectors are much smaller too.

They need to install their root certificate into your work machine's trust store. Which they can only do because they control the machine (or VPN software), and would not be possible for a regular machine.

It used to be the case that you had to run certbot as root or it just wouldn't work. At least not officially, you could get it work without root but it wasn't supported. The official docs still recommend doing so: > Certbot is

I know and agree. My point is in a home setting at 1 Gigabit you don't really need it. Obviously YMMV.

I live in a similar building. I assume you have hardwired all the APs, otherwise that would be the first step. Make sure they're on different channels, and have narrow MHz bands (20Mhz for 2.4GHz, 40MHz for 5GHz) selected. Only use 1,6

I did this years ago using the very thin (3mm, round) Unifi Patch Cables in white. Very clean and reliable, and getting 1 Gbit/s without issue. Another benefit is that I can cram 4 of them inside a single cable runner at the one spot I

That is exactly my experience, although a bit earlier. I landed on a Kinesis Advantage 2, at the time as the 360 wasn't even announced yet. Spent entirely too much money on other ones. There's a reason the Kinesis Advantage line h

I like the term acerbic brevity! Generally though, I'd say concise and precise is exactly what I want in my docs, especially if I have to read hundreds of pages. There's a fine line to walk for it to stay understandable though. Ac

Something is deeply broken with Samba in macOS, all Samba versions and all macOS versions. It just never works. And just when you think it's finally reliable and has worked for a while, it breaks in new unexpected ways. Sometimes han

Try on the smaller versions (sometimes called "women's" versions), a few mms less make a huge difference. Many smartwatches are simply too large, compared to regular watches.

While the GP is completely off-base with their analogy, the Wikipedia summary is so simplified to the point of missing all the arguments made in the original essay. If you're a software developer and especially if you're doing ope

I asked Gemini about some Ikea furniture dimensions and it gave seemingly correct answers, until it suddenly didn't make sense. Turns out all the information it gave me came from old Reddit posts and lots of it was factually wrong. G

100% agreed. Save your money. That's also my opinion after spending several thousand on a couple of these devices over the years, only to find that they don't solve my problems. E-ink is slow and is hard to read because of the low
