All the comments about Linux gaming make me want to give my $0.02. I've been gaming on Linux, with no Windows installed anywhere, for around 6 years. In the first 3 years, it was a massive pain. Games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. would consiste

Anticheat and support for joysticks, steering wheels, VR, etc. is one factor for sure. I would say almost all games people play, which dont fall in the above categories, run out of the box with no or very minor tweaks needed (no terminal).

Convenience comes as a result of mass market adoption, for products for which convenience was not already the main selling factor. Look at cars; they were kind of difficult to drive and maintain 60 years ago, now they're super convenie

Time doesn't matter in relation to facts that we already knew about 100 years ago. You're actively discriminating based on something the affected people have NO control over, with no basis whatsoever other than vibes. Imagine some

You associating skin color with this behavior is the very definition of racism.

Fair criticism. It was very lecturing. Beyond that, it was also quite funny, but really, there was nothing funny about the end. I don't think it was meant as a comedy.

Acceleration is change in speed, so it is, by its very nature, relative just like speed is. If I fall, I might accelerate at G meters per second, relative to the earth, but I don't absolutely accelerate. If the earth decelerates at the

Hi Nick, first of all, very cool of you to respond here instead of letting us all sit in the dark. I think that's what makes HN special. That said, is it not a little bit weird that you want to protect yourself from scraping and bots,

Make a friend. Keep talking to that friend. Put reminders, say good morning, or write it. Call them, ask how it's going. Send them a 5 minute audio about something interesting in your day. Schedule a meet up, like you did as kids. &quo

I highly suspect that these people who push for paid open source are NOT open source maintainers. If I wanted to get paid for the software I make in my free time, I would put a price on it. If someone likes what I do personally, they can do

For anyone wondering; this isn't a hack, that's the same library, just as good, just without boost dependencies.

Yes, I'm saying that the companies who's entire business model is selling you AIs are not a reliable source. And of course, again, if you are competent, you can see that AI only generates passable outputs when guided or when the s

It's almost like I addressed my entire comment to vibe coders and NOBODY else, because other uses of AI are pretty valid

To all the vibe coders: When you let an LLM author code, it takes ownership of that code (in the engineering sense). When you're done spending millions on tokens, years of development, prompt fine tuning, model fine tuning, and made th

You have to be incredibly incompetent and naiive to look at the absolute garbage theatre that AI outputs today to go "yeah this will write all future code". Usually the response, for the last years, has been "no no you don&#x

I had this with Rust. I always saw the huge hype, especially some years ago, and it was hugely off-putting. Ridiculous projects like rewriting famously full coverage branch tested projects like SQLite in Rust, or rewriting the GNU coreutils

Why doesn't Microsoft just take their incredible, human-replacing, AGI level AI's, and just port all their code to a Linux kernel instead of the NT kernel? Oh right, because that's not in the training set.

If you can TELL someone used AI, its always, without fail, a bad use of AI.
