I always see this meme going around, but it's just plain and simply untrue now that Grid can be used reliably. You can center anything by making the container display:grid; align-content:center; justify-content:center; I don't kno

With Electron you can depend directly on native libraries for handling audio and whatnot, but I don't think that explains the whole picture.

I'm on the KDE camp, but I got to say both are shaping up incredibly. Did not have any problems with the Xbox controller, though I believe mine is from a Xbox One. Just plug (or bluetooth, which also works fine, unlike in the past!) in

As a game developer (and avid player), I moved to straight Linux last year. Proton is really damn good, I think I only had (trivially fixable) issues with two games so far (out of like 30 I played). Unfortunately my game engine of choice (U

I can't recommend ShareX enough, it is the most well thought out, intuitive and comprehensive tool for handling screenshots. I really miss it on Linux, I'll try that guide.

That is very true, but C# has had value types since its inception, so a lot of tooling exists to deal with them, both in the language and in third party code (libraries and engines)

Yeah, Java's reply to performance was "let's make the GC better", C#'s was "let's make the GC optional". I don't think it was a strictly conscious decision (generics were reified long before XNA

There is a draft for the CSS spec to allow this, the CSS Regions Module: https://caniuse.com/css-regions However, it seems to have been abandoned.

Don't hesitate to switch to a more readable font, the later Final Fantasy games did that while keeping the same lo-fi gradient menus and it works quite well, and is way more readable.

I think the second point is essential. Occlusion is cool, sure, but not terribly important. Right now AR is very limited in what it can do because it can only understand the virtual objects the creators of the app have put in, the world is

Those points of view are not mutually exclusive, complex systems develop emergent behaviours, and those behaviours can often be even more fascinating than the rules that caused them.

To be fair, YAML itself does not specify how tags should be interpreted, technically the idea of grabbing constructors from those is the library's issue. But then again, you wouldn't want to accidentally introduce code execution w

The math seems fine, but they didn't hint the browser to not snap the images to the pixel grid, so scrolling very slowly means a lot of the layers will move less than 1 pixel per frame, which causes the bobbing.

I think this website predates the widespread support of will-change, the website first displayed this parallax effect (in a more primitive way) sometime in 2014. caniuse.com tells me the first moment that both Firefox and Chrome supported t

Parallax. My favorite implementation is on the homepage of Campo Santo's Firewatch game: https://www.firewatchgame.com/ Not only the parallax itself, but the creativity! They used semitransparent layers so that when yo

Most AI models are not even known about, accessible outside the system they are part of, let alone targeted for audits at all. Unless you got enough volume of volunteer users to try and make some correlations, but then, those can still be a

> you can charge the Quest while using it Yeah, but you need a really long cable or be restricted to sitting games. Most of my friends don't have that, only a short charging cable. (They use the WiFi linking for playing PC VR games)

The Spotify rant: Here's how I listen to music: entire specific albums, in tracklist order, maybe queue up a couple albums. I always know what I want to listen before even thinking of opening a music player. Maybe the odd playlist if i

I mostly play smaller or indie games, which have less aggressive monetization. If I were to go and play the latest AAA like Assassin's Creed or whatever, I would definitely pirate it, but the game doesn't call to me anyway. Not on

Wires by themselves are not evil, the annoying thing about what we consider "wired VR" is that the wires are attached to some fixed point in space (the computer), so you need to dedicate some spatial awareness to where the wires a

Also, some keyboard layouts use dead keys for inputting ^ as a diacritic (for example, ABNT2 Portuguese, the standard in Brazil). This means that to type "â" I press the ^ key, which is actually Shift+~, then I press the letter to

> Who organizes things around application anyway, instead of windows? My guess is Apple users, as window switching in macOS is terribly fiddly when compared to application switching.

Cool, I solved Life! Now, in retrospect, my tone was inappropriate, I'm sorry. The very fact we have such different impressions of Linux demonstrates it's still a bit messier than it could be.

I'm not advocating for this to become the default functionality across the world for everyone, it's definitely very opt-in. In that case you don't need discoverability for something you set up yourself. It's also very

I used to agree, then I moved to Linux (KDE specifically) and found out I could set my DE up so Super+LMB anywhere on a window moves it, and Super+RMB resizes it, it's is way more convenient, I haven't found myself using the title

I am assuming you are both talking about the comparisons in the article? They are mostly terrible examples of path tracing, as they just took the original map files with the lights authored for the original renderer, erased the baked lighti

I have a 16-button mouse (one of those gaming ones with basically a numpad near the thumb), works out of the box. Same with a variety of dodgy Bluetooth chinesium junk, a drawing tablet, a VR headset... Maybe 10 years ago I had an issue wit
