Only 5 years? I remember playing Rocket League "decently" (1080p, 30FPS) on a Skylake laptop (i5-6200) back in ~2016. I would say integrated graphics were already sort-of-okay during the 5-6th generation of Intel Core's.

21st century Word could still learn some lessons from 20th-century TeX (and 19th-century typography, in general). Any Word document I ever tried to create is plagued with bad kerning and bad geometry, and the defaults are basically guarant

Many language features followed that route, yes. Languages themselves are typically first introduced, and then (maybe) formalized. Meanwhile, some other "patterns" or features, like higher-order functions or recursion, were origi

For instance, this article [0] talks about implementing the Finder, and how it "was the first to begin to take advantage of the idea of spatial organization". But really, all of e.g., Jef Raskin's work on UIs revolved around

But still, this kind of research puts undue pressure on the kernel maintainers who have to review patches that were not submitted in good faith (where "good faith" = the author of the patch were trying to improve the kernel)

Indeed, lower satellite costs open up lots of possibilities. Another project is LISA [0], a gravitational wave observatory made of 3 heliocentric satellites. Pretty wild idea. [0]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_

Uhm, are they that different, though? For instance, you can formally express at least a part of the "there should be a button that pulls in new data when clicked" specification. In LTL, that would be something like something l

FTP is still pretty much alive in research as well (well, until now). I also used it in the past week. I understand it has flaws, but... I don't know, this seems yet another nail in the Old Web coffin.

The comment was about house owning, though. Owning a house is becoming more and more a thing for the upper classes, it wasn't always like this.

I'd say the best way to read it the first time is with very little notes (just to explain what's going on, plus some analysis before/after each chapter). These online, hyperlinked versions are better suited to scholars and pe

Indeed, I was referring to Fast Boot but did not recall the exact name. Thank you for providing further insight on how it works.

They did, but they had to turn "shutdown" into some kind of "hibernate on steroid". Doing a clean boots takes a bit longer. And we're talking modern, SSD-equipped machines vs. old laptops with spinning disks.

I'm probably an outsider here, but as an iTerm user my usual way to copy short pieces of text from tmux is to just disable mouse reporting, select the text with my mouse, and do the good old cmd-c. Not really a sophisticated approach

By "camera", do you mean a photo camera? If so, won't such a setup put the sensor under considerable stress if you do video conferences frequently? I'm not sure, it seems to me that any "1080p webcam" would ac

However, some old games' gameplay, unlike Pong's, was awful. Sometimes, terrible gameplay was actually a legit "strategy" by the devs to artificially make a game last longer, so people wouldn't feel ripped off. Good

Although not an EU country, Serbia would be the best example. However, I would say "Russian ties" rather than "Russian roots". For instance, they both are Slavic, Orthodox countries, and have been historically allied.

They could, but the optics of such an action would be really, really bad. Moreover, my gut feeling is that most researchers that use sci-hub could obtain most of the papers through their employer's subscription anyway. It's just

Also, Europe has been torn apart for centuries by religious, ethnic, or nationalistic hatred. The current laws reflect that. And communities that had to endure such hatred in the past will not be easily convinced that free speech is always

French and Italian also use similar terms (concurrence, concorrenza) for business competition, so it's not a far-fetched hypothesis.
